who will buy this olympus crap everyone felt cheated with the E5
Come on! The E-P2 is a very good camera.
What does this have to do with the E5? Olympus made a business decision with 4/3’s. They obviously feel their future lies with m4/3’s. Olympus isn’t a charity, if they thought regular 4/3’s was more viable they’d put R&D money into that system instead of m4/3’s, but they obviously don’t. To quite the Godfather, it’s just business, its not personal.
For the record, I think they made the right decision.
It has to do that Olympus has taught us, 4/3 users, a lesson: they do not hesitate to kill a system only a very few years after the introduction of that system.
Seems to me that the only brands that care for their customers are Canon and Nikon (specially the latter) along with Leica (which for price is in another league).
So, for me, Olympus is not a brand I will consider to buy.
This is as absurd as calling the P9000 a dead end because Nikon did not push the envelope far enough with the D3s.
For the RECORD what can a regular 4/3 user like me shoot wedding and models using SHG lens theres without a updated Unit… the E5 is like a EP2 and EPL1… its means m4/3 will kill 4/3 format… i guess olympus dosent care at all… and finally m43 will die like 4/3 when nikon and sony avails there EVIL camera
marilyn you have no idea what you are talking about
think again jeff… if olympus has something then… the e5 is not something to look forward
Something new will come soon obviously.
Yes. E-5 reached production already meaning R&D for at least 2-3 months is already onto something else.
i have been waiting for a good deal on this one since mine has been stolen. thanks alot.
been watching all these new mirrorless announcements and there are some definetely great cameras out there, but i think ep2 is still the king of the hill. for legacy lens users, in body IS and amazing evf makes this one hard to give up.
i just wished they’d stop selling the 14-42 kits lens already.
EP2 “deal” is already gone. They’ve tacked on almost $100 from the deal two days ago.
I sort of get the idea of Micro 4/3 cameras, but these big 4/3 cameras with the smaller than APS-C sensors just seem a waste of money.
Oh, now that companies are or will be producing small cameras with APS sized sensors what’s the use of buying high priced Olympus MFT cameras? Panasonic may have the right idea to keep lowering the price on their GF series. The GF-2 needs to come out at an aggressive low price and do away with that low resolution add on evf.
