Larry, you seem to have forgotten. When we met, earlier this year, I had my OM-D EM1 on me. I think I have it for like 5 or 6 years now. It is a good camera, has all the controls and looks like a small DSLR. These you can find really cheap these days. You can also look for EM1 mk2 - it is a bit bi

I have two mFT cameras at present: the Olympus E-M1 (purchased in 2013, just when it came out) and the Panasonic GX9 (purchased a couple of months ago). I had an E-PL1 in the past, a cheapo that I got from Ebay at under $75, but it eventually locked up the IBIS and wasn't worth repairing. I wa

Today the friend I had loaned my u4/3 camera to returned it. There are a lot of things to like about micro 4/3, but using that camera is pretty miserable. It’s an oly E PL1, doesn’t have a viewfinder and trying to make adjustments on it is terribly awkward. However, I can see a lot of advanta
