@JOSELUISGARCI @Mordae Vitaly gave already his answer @ the top of this page. I bought the OM-D 2 weeks ago, got my doubts 'bout 30p only and esp. how the codec acted during many tests! It's no camera for skaters or other sportive shooters or fast panning and tilting, forget it! You get one smudge of dirty macroblocking during fast actions or fast changing light! If the camera finds back it's flow you shoot very detailed, clear footage. It's ideal for slow steadicamshooting because of it's IS and close-ups and it has a new kind of IQ considering resolution in still mode for micro 4/3. It is all very crispy but at the same time a bit odd to spend 1600 euro ++ (12mm lens incl.) and still have doubts. I could have it brought back with full return of the sum i bought it for, but instead i kept it. It has to many pro's which are stated in my previous post. A hacked GH2 is more allround and value for money than Om-D though, so i will definitely keep them untill GH3 shows up!
@JOSELUISGARCI Seriously? On a forum where everyone speaks english, you decide to speak spanish (or portugese?) and believe everyone will understand. But on I side note, I do agree that 35mbps and those framerates would a fine addition, although I understand that the hacking process is very hard and doubt it will happen.
I hope other companies will take note from the GoPro and make their own "ProTune".
DI.SUPPORT@OLYMPUS-EUROPA.COM esta es la dirección para quejarse sobre el bitrate (que lo aumenten como mínimo a 35 mbps) y los 24p y 25p que estamos en europa........
@rojover i interested in your SEMA-1 mod, put your photos or draw please.
I think integrate mic of E-M5 is better that Olympus mic ME-51S of SEMA-1. Mic ME-51S is very poor in music bass. Audio Technica ATR-3350 i think cheap and good mic to connect SEMA-1 adapter. Rhode Videomic pro stereo is good also, but expensive.
Did a lot of testing with the new OM-D EM-5 the last couple of days. IS works fine with my Sachtler Artemis steadicam rig. Straight horizons are far more easily now! With arichitecture @ the side of the frame you can see the trick! Corrections can be spotted in the lines of buidings but IS is still great! M.Zuiko Digital 12mm 2.0 lens is a juwel and beautyfull crafted!
In strobing daylight shots taken from a open cabriolet car i got huge macroblocking:
Any opinions here? Do i have a bad copy or is the codec that weak?? Did also a test with la7200 anamorphic lensadapter combined with the 12mm:pros:
beautifull screen
3d pictures and good overall picture iq (see picture below)
movement and sharpness remain a bit better while panning/zooming etc. @ 30p
IS works beautyfully!
nicely build & small
very little ghosting & great AF
good resolution
cons:
only 30p
no 720 50/60
weak codec - not fit for fast changing/flickering light with fast movement
no M control in video while filming (maybe i need to read the manual?)
no MF assist with manual glass
no omnidirectional screen
quite expensive
no build in mikejack (sold as a accessoire)
Pic below is shot with the Leica 25mm lens:
It doesn't need hacking, GH3 is around the corner an will b rocking AVCHD 2.0 and probably match EM-5's strengths give or take.
@samuelcabral, @neveraholiday , @rojover and @Vitaliy_Kiselev. It would be a real bonus to crank up this crippled little gem! The codec is indeed very weak! But @ the beginning of this thread Vitaly says he hates this camera, so..... OK the answer just came from the man himself!
Guys, I don't have any plans to look at this. Period.
I would double up the $100, if the em5 is taken on by Vitaliy!
Good review by Andrew. Saddly i only go for OM-D EM-5 if Vitaly or someone made 24p possible. And this with a high bitrate would be insane!
If Vitaly needs any donations for this, i will contribute ...no doubts
Indeed Koolphoto, I would love to see the full potential of this camera like Reid. Let's hope Vitaliy says something...
For test you say not need GH2, GH2 not have IS in body. Only is need test IS of E-M5 and IS of 100-300mm.
Previous youtube video have 100-300mm IS active and IS of E-M5 inactive,
with this other have IS of E-M5 active and 100-300mm inactive:
I think very similar, but i prefer IS of E-M5
