    Em 5 cannot power up and lens cap broke on the same day

    Went down to the service centre today and they told me that the shutter is spoilt and the repair costs was $400. They offered a trade in for the EM 5 mark II for about $1200 but I declined the repair and the trade in. Am I right to think that a repaired shutter for $400 is not worth it? Quite...

    Em 5 cannot power up and lens cap broke on the same day

    Friday was an eventful day for my Em 5 bought in June 2013. First the lens cap for the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO broke. Never knew a lens cap could break so easily.

    Is a dry box with silica gel good enough to keep lenses from fungus?

    Just got a new DSLR with lenses. My first DSLR actually. I already have a dry box, so can I keep my lenses and camera with lots of silica gel to keep the fungus away from lenses or is it necessary to get a dry cabinet to control humidity?

    Went down to MS colour today and finally got the elite Em5 kit with the 12-40 pro lens for $1820. Burn a big hole in my pocket though it was a good offer especially when they threw in the grip, 40-150 lens and extra battery. Have not used it much as the interface are all alien to me as I only...

    New E-M5 Sales

    The M S colour looks very good esp since they are giving a free 40-150 mm along with the extra battery and HLD6. Better having a free battery than previous month's free gift of a luggage as the free gift!

    Last week I was considering the EM 5, EM 10 and the sonya6000.

Oly...
