Well, here is an update about the updated on the EP5 update 🙂 Olympus delayed the firmware release to “fix some things”. But I have been told by a source that it’s definitely coming, and the hope is that it is “soon”. As you know focus peaking will be improved and 0 shock added. No E-M5 firmware yet 🙁

Any chance we get an update with the 0 shck and the focus peaking for the E-PL5 as well? Pleaaaaase Mr Olympus, pretty pleaaaase…
I would be happy if they disabled AF speed “brakes” on E-PL5 first.
It’s not about “please”, it’s about choosing a better camera system and abandoning the inattentive gadget producer.
M43 actually is the best system.
M43 is the best system, we are all set then…
I thought it had the worst quality / price ratio worldwide, but I stand corrected now. Thanks for your hint.
“Best system” doesn’t mean perfect system. If Sony had decent lenses they might be worth taking a look at.
Also, you thought wrong – the company with the worst quality/price ratio is Leica (over the past 5 years).
I could shoot a Leica, in a pinch, but M43 is just too bad. “You thought wrong”, to use your lingo…
If your post were more attentive we could bask in the reflected glory of your better camera system.
Is sonyalpharumors down today?
I heard from a vendor that the E-M5 will get a bigger update at some point, possibly including focus peaking and other goodies. Let’s see, he probably knows no more than you.
I would pick one if they include the advanced wireless control.
You need a wifi antenna to control the camera: it’s not a matter of software.
😀
For me control via usb would be sufficient.
And will we finally get rid of the stupid 99 frames limit in timelapse mode?
EM-10 and EM-1 have 999 (just 1 extra digit, seems like a simple fix in firmware?)
Sony doesn’t allow it because they put the kibosh on any olympus features that offer more than NEX/E-mount. Obey.
I guess 99 is better than 10 frames which is all the Stylus 1 gets. 😉 I suppose that is enough for ‘Photo Both’ type shooting though.
Any update for the em10 ? Not sure how much it is affected by shutter shock, but if em5 is affected, the em10 is probably affected as well.
This is GREAT news….please keep us informed!!!!!!! 🙂
Ho Bob, still loving your E-P5? There is a great deal on the EP-5, VF4 and and 17mm f/1,8 – the kit for under $1000, as a local shop here. I was all set to wait for the Panny GM1/15mm Kit.. but this deal looks too good to pass up!
Er, Hi Bob.. not trying to call you a Ho 🙂
Looking forward to it! Not that I’ve seen much of it outside the 045. Wasn’t aware of the 99 frame limitation on timelapse though. Would be good to see that fixed as well!
