If you shoot Olympus exclusively, you’re probably fine. If you move between brands get ready for a reorientation every time you pick up this camera. It’s complex, hardly a beginners camera. Yet critical controls are lacking with the result is one has to dive into the full menu to change the simplest of parameters. Some examples: no auto-iso profiles, no minimum shutter speed coupled with iso, no shooting profiles (as in no MySet function, at all), no way to save settings, unless you don't need the AEL/AFL button, setting AEL/AFL for BBF totally defeats the shutter button for AF. You have no choice, to change it, dive into the full menu, only 1 user defined function button with 12 utterly useless choices to assign to it.
It’s a lovely camera. My initial reason for buying it was as my daily grab. But it’s so inflexible I just ordered the Panasonic 14-42 II as it’s default lens and will use it daytime only, nothing serious camera. It’s simply too inflexible to use for a broad range of situations. This is the first camera I’ve ever owned (60+ years shooting decent cameras) where I pass up shots rather than mess with menu diving.
If this is indicative of where JIP is taking OM, it’s not going to be pretty.
La macchina è un prodotto di qualità, il suo problema è il prezzo perché per quello che costa compri una macchina con il mirino e diverse funzioni in più e altre meno semplificate che in questa. Si è perso un po il concetto semipro della E-P5 che infatti ho appena riordinato usata. Peccato, bastava poco di più per farne una vera best buy. L'ho resa.
