Where are you all getting your OMDs? Mine has been on order for weeks!

My understanding of Adobe RGB vs SRGB is that the Adobe RGB will provide a wider gamut. It is preferable for printing, SRGB is preferable for screen display. I'm greedy, I want the most information. With PS or Lightroom, I can always convert to SRGB. This is the same mode that I used with my Oly E-510 also.

... umm, I ordered mine from the Oly US store, about 20 minutes after it was officially announced (with overnight shipping!).

Ride, dive, shoot.
Gabby's a cutie. 🙂
Busy with work and haven't had chance to really go out and shoot, but here are a few shots with Oly 45/1.8 this time. All are SOOC with standard image settings, fine jpeg transferred via Eye-Fi to Photo Stream to iPhoto to Picasa. All three are at @ISO1600.
I love this lens, but so tempted to add the PL 25/1.4...

Oddly, they've been available in Manila since the end of March - and cheaper than on Amazon too (about US$1,200 with the kit lens). This is not usually the case, but hey, I'm not complaining!

I'm breaking my mind... Anyone knows about activate the live view while I'm using aperture mode or manual mode?

Thanks, Gabby is a sweetheart. Love your last cat pic, nice DOF. For my shooting, I actually like the wider DOF of m43. I often shoot in low light situations where I'm struggling with shutter speed and ISO, so I'm inevitably shooting with the lens wide open with too thin DOF for closer subjects. With m43 I'm pretty sure I won't only have one eye in focus, yet I can still have some OOF area.
I'm happy with the PL 25/1.4, but to be honest I still use the 20/1.7 just as much if not more because it's smaller. I haven't observed a huge difference, I haven't had time to look at the extreme corners at 200%, lol.
PS, got mine last week having pre-ordered on the first day available. From what I'm hearing the silver ones in particular are coming out slowly, but even the black ones aren't stocked much anywhere.

thanks larry. i will give adobe rgb a try.
re the panny 20/1.7, i dont know why it gets less love than the 25/1.4. qualitatively, i dont see enough of a difference to justify the price disparity. and, just as a matter of personal opinion, ive always found 40s more versatile than 50s...

I also got mine at the same time. Unusually cheaper than the current prices in US.
People's heads tell them that 1.7 isn't fast but 1.4 is... I believe... which is ridiculous, but one's mind plays tricks sometimes. Honestly though, I've seen nothing but love for the 20mm panny.

I sold my 20/1.7 and got a 25/1.4, the focusing speed improvement is significant. Don't see any difference in sharpness (I shoot mostly at f2). But the 25/1.4 does seem to have more pop to its image, could be color/contrast. While the 20/1.7 looks really sharp but a little flat. The hood on 25/1.4 is ridiculously large though, so I use a vented hood instead. Overall I like the 25/1.4 better and think the $200 price difference is justified. I am more of a 50mm person than a 35mm person so that might be why I feel this way.
