Olympus OM-D E-M1 with 12 – 40mm f2.8 lens
I just took delivery of a new camera today. It’s the brand new Olympus OM-D E-M1 that was announced last week. This is a pre production unit that I got on loan from Olympus for about a week. I’ll blog about the camera over the next couple of weeks.
Also included in the package was the new Olympus 14 – 40mm f2.8 Pro lens. My first impression? The body and lens make an impressive package. This is not your daddy’s micro 4/3 camera. Things seem familiar and different at the same time.

Andy,
I was waiting for this!
What I have read about this camera so far suggests that Olympus may just have turned out a very substantial camera.
You might find Thom Hogan’s recent article in which he backs into the subject interesting as well.

Previously there has been a good bit of discussion of Nikon still photographers using one of the Panasonic µ4/3rds bodies (I don’t recall which one at the moment) for video.
Anyway, I am looking forward to your report.

Interesting article, Rick. I think the trend is changing and a camera like the E-M1 is a big part of this trend.
Oh good. I was hoping you’d review this one.
It is a beat in micro 4/3 terms but very nice.
I’m jealous.
Sorry. But I have to admit it is pretty neat.
Yea!
