Thread: Horrible day... my E-M5 black body has arrived at the warehouse

I would, but I am worried that it will be an expensive shipment. The K-01 is a bit heavy.

Enjoy your new camera Kyle!

Great point, Karen!

I am still waiting for the Minnesota or Wisconsin Tourism Boards to offer to pay me to stop posting photographs.

I do have a pretty, red E-PL3 that my wife wants me to sell. Hmmm, oh yeah, and I do have a banged up LX3 (it was my backpacking/snow cam for a bit) I could let someone have, so both you and Armando are covered!

Fine. I'll take the EP3. You take the OMD.

Congrats on the purchase!

Don't do it, Kyle! It's a horrible camera. I'm struggling just to press the shutter button on mine. Of course that's partly because I'm trying out the shutter release on the awesome tilty/touchy screen, but that's neither here nor there. BTW, would it bring a tear to your eye if I said that I haven't been able to get the PL25 to rattlesnake on the E-M5 yet. Oh, and be warned; the first time that you find yourself alone with the E-M5 in a quiet room will be an eye-opener.

Seriously though, this is a definitive camera for Olympus. A genuine two-fingered salute to anyone who ever said that Olympus and/or Micro Four Thirds wouldn't survive or couldn't be taken seriously alongside larger formats.

Enjoy Darth Vader!

I think that Amin found a Silver E-M5 on the other side of the world and is having it shipped by carrier pigeon as we speak.

Yeah, you were no help, Nic, with your images and positive feedback!

Crazy cool to hear the PL25 may not rattlesnake. If it was going to be the same as my E-P3, I was considering selling the PL25 and sticking with the 20/1.7 as a more compact option (plus have the FoV covered on my Pentax).

I am really looking forward to the tilt screen. I think I will use that a lot more than the viewfinder.

Thanks for the heads-up on the hum. I think I am ready for Darth! Dang, I knew I should have got the Stormtrooper version of the K-01 (black/white).

My heartfelt condolences. :D

I don't know what this camera does to people: I was just checking availability on another tab in this browser. And I'm not getting it til November. Or so I thought....

... did you have one sitting on your doorstep?

Not yet... I'm training my fingers not to push the buy button.
