Re: OT - Saw an Olympus OM-D in the Wild Today
I've read complaints here about how noisy the shutter on the K20D is. I've had Nikon and Canon users complement me on how silent it is. This is the K20D not the K-5, the grass is always greener, as they say. On 1/23/2014 5:47 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: I saw one two weeks ago, at Denver Fusion Exchange.

The OM-D E-M1 owner has Pentax kit as well but he is retiring the Pentax gear.

OT - Saw an Olympus OM-D in the Wild Today
Was at a press event at a hospital today and noticed one of the snappers who normally wields huge bags of Canon gear had a smallish black camera around his neck. At a distance I could have sworn it was a film camera - in fact I thought for a second it was an MX! Had some sort of pancake on the front and he was getting some wide angle type shots judging from his positioning. It was the Oly OM-D and my heart skipped a beat. WOW what a looker. Yes yes I know they are only tools Godders but gimme a break eh! That was camera porn alright. I was mightily impressed. Was curious to see what the EVF was like, didn't have time to stop and chat. The actual *size* of it was compelling. No huge DSLR chunkiness. There's a retro Fuji offering released in 5 days. My attention has been had. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) |Web Video Production --www.seeingeye.tv _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: OT - Saw an Olympus OM-D in the Wild Today
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is indeed a looker, although some seem to prefer the looks of the E-M5 more (it's smaller and has less of a grip). Both are excellent cameras. I prefer the larger camera for the superb ergonomics it affords, it's improved viewfinder, and many other details of its design. Terrific camera indeed. The new Fuji looks good in the photos too, although a little more Nikon Dfish in design and layout. The 'mirrorless' world is growing nicely with these and the Sony A7/A7r as well.

After renting the E-M5, E-M1, GX7, and GM1 for a week, I think the E-M5 is a piece of shit. The E-M5 without the half-grip actually is less comfortable than the tiny GM1. The other three are good, but the E-M1 is definitely best. If you're looking into m43, I highly recommend renting several bodies; I've owned the Panasonic G3 in the past, and I hated the E-PL5 in less than five minutes. Other people have different reactions, so caveat emptor! Overall, I think the E-M1 is most likely to feel comfortable to someone who likes Pentax. ;-) -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6http://rule6.info/ * * * Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
