EM-1 - I'm such a sucker!

[Dave Jenkins]

Now the A7 by Sony has shown that the sensor doesn't have to be small to make a small digital camera.

Yes, but the lenses aren't small -- they're big as ever, and often weigh more than even a full-size camera. The secret to micro 4/3s is that not only the bodies, but also the lenses are small and light.

Currently I have a D800 and 3 not so cheap lenses, one of the lenses I'm definitely getting rid of, the other 2 and the body I am going to wait a month or so - see how the E-M1 works for me . I've used the D800 for sports and night sky (once or twice) - If the E-M1 works for my sports needs - out goes all the Nikon stuff.

on the film side - I need to trim a little , good equipment but underused - I've got some definites and a couple maybes - I'm fast to purchase but slow to sell - what can I say...

I am glad it worked out for you. Good luck.

I have an EM-1 it is now my only camera.
I am very happy with it.

I got it with the 12-40 lens, I already have the 25 1.4 and 45 1.8. It is my first zoom lens, not sure yet, but the results seem good.

I have been tempted by the 75 1.8 and in January I'll visit the US where the exchange rate gives 36% difference. That saving is almost too good to not take advantage of

Have fun
Phil.

Amazon now has an $200 instant discount if you buy the body and 75 and/or 12-40

It's a stackable discount so you get $400 off if you buy the 2 lenses

They were kind enough to apply the discount to my purchase of 2 weeks ago - this is in addition to a manufactures rebate I'm getting ( rebate no longer available) - I think I'm getting a pretty good deal!
