Oooo, like that Othello portrait and the others as well. Perhaps I can
have a slightly larger version if available for the Othello gallery.
(fingers crossed) AF was indeed quick enough if not PD quick. Noticed a
subtle Moose self-portrait somewhat more discernable in O's right eye.
One can clearly discern Moose's bent elbow and the cam up to his eye.
By eye one can discern fur details in a straight black cat but no cams
even now can w/o rendering them slightly grey. Wonder why that is.
On the OM-5 note, I thought the Fuji XE-1 might blow it out of the
water in the high ISO department. Larger sensor, and no AA filter for
starters. The sensor is the same as X-Pro-1, so look at the images in
imaging resource. Alternatively look at the Max ISO for great 20X30
print table. Perhaps gain a stop at 1600 but back to parity by ISO
12800.

The kit lens 18-55 is quite fast and I would bet the optics will be
stellar--we'll see soon. The stying is quite cool (the OM-D is very
very nice too) and I really really like the exp comp and ISO dials in
lieu of menu madness.
IBIS, tiltable LCD, sensor shaker that actually works, a ton of
excellent glass in MFT, argue for OM-D.
I compared the higher ISO to my OM5DII--perhaps should not have--not
gaining a whole lot by carrying around 4X the weight. I do have my
zuiko's use at intended AOV and better dof control as well as faster
zooms if wanted though---at a price. The lack of AF microadjustment for
AF lenses at both end the
zoom, non 100% VF have been irritants and it will be for sale in the
non-distant future. OTOH, my lovely OM 4T is going nowhere.
Nex 7 isn't half bad either but FF NEX may be 6 mos away only.
Nex 7 compresses the RAW file a bit--not like Mp3's in audio though and
doesn't even seem to be detectable.
Seems an insult to byte purity only. Baso ISO detail looks as good as
OM5DII--yikes.
