Dear CS-er,

Unfortuantely I am working that day.

I hope after the meet we can find out the availability of the lends in Singapore and I am deciding whether to buy the EM1 or EM5. Would the v2.0 firmware only applies to EM1?

Thank you.

hi, ver2.0 pertains specifically to the EM1 for this case. But note the EM5 just had ver2.0 released not too long ago and similar to the ver 2.0 for EM1, it was a substantial upgrade.

Thank you Keithwee.

In this case I most likely go for EM5 with 12-40. Betting that Olympus will release new high end model within 6 months. Save some money to buy the other things like new bag and flash. The 36R I bough for EP3 some-time it works well some-times the exposure not accurate. Sent for repair but return still the same. I did not bother to send back back again.

This time need to look for a thrid party flash like Metz or a cheaper but working one for Olympus EM5. I can save some money if it come with the flash like EM1 provides.
