Olympus redesigned the website and honestly this looks so much better than before! Check it out at http://getolympus.com/. Also the Matching Simulation (Click here) has been updated. But I don’t like the fact that they removed the nice lens overview we had before. Now you have to select the manufacturer and lens category before to get to a small range of lenses. I liked to see them all. Still missing is the possibility to see larger images of the camera and lens combination.

Guys anyone knows where I can get a protection film for my OMD screen somewhere in Toronto Canada? I tried Henry’s they dont have any. Only have 1-2 days left …anyone has a spare one??? (I live in Beirut Lebanon, here they dont even sell the OMD lol)
I think any tablet or smartphone screen protection will suffice as long as they’re not left any residue of adhesive when you want to remove it.
This is what I might end up doing if I don’t find any, but I was looking for the perfect fit:) don’t want to cut and stuff

Try one-day shipping and you should be fine 🙂
Matching simulation hasn’t been updated but downgraded to “easier” to use one.
That’s what they tell every time when someone, be it physical device or software maker, worsens functionality.
It’s missing the new 17/1.8 so that’s a fail right there.
It’s not even announced, there are no final specs, only images. Usually, only products that are available for purchase are included in Matching simulation.
Sticking to the usual is standing still.
Yeah, it’s terrible!
Don’t you just love it when something so simple becomes nearly useless?
Website by committee !
I dislike the matching simulation, the old one was MUCH better – this I find to be annoying, too many steps.
This is/was so much better.

This is/was so much more fun!

Yes, it does look much better, but there are only available Olympus lenses to choose from and only E-M5 to see them on.
I don’t think the site is as good as the old one which was far more user friendly.

Ok structure, but they should include info on which lens the hoods, lensbags, etc are intended for for *every* item.
The 15mm lens cap is listed for 50$ on the new Oly-Site. Thought it would be more expensive. But if it is sharp, that could be a real good deal 🙂
I agree with all that said old Matching simulation was better, with all cameras/lenses in one menu.
I just went to one of the bigger camera stores in Beijing and Olympus had a really nice presence there. Every where else I went it was all CANON!!! (lame X_X) and some Nikon. Never Panasonic, never ever. Anyway, this place had Olympus right at the front door and there was a model there with a softbox on her. People could come up and take pictures with the OM-D and older Pens and try all the nice prime lenses. Nikon’s booth just had a tv. Great to see them working so hard.
Match Simulation now works on my iPad, so they got rid of Flash. Could the old format be done with HTML or were they just lazy? Any programmers out there know?
Camerasize.com is better, you compare multiple cameras and lens combos side by side, but lens selection is limited.

I am unimpressed with a manufacturers site where they can’t even get technical details of their own products correct. It says this about the OMD:
3.0″ TILT TOUCH LCD
It’s not an LCD – there is no Liquid Crystal in it because it’s an OLED display.
