Well, that settles it. E-M5.
Fine detail isn't everything for all purposes in
photography, but is more important for landscape work
than some other purposes.
The next photographic project I have in mind is a book on
Central Otago Landscapes. In this I'm also encouraged
by the latest book put out by Andris Apse (published by
Penguin, of all companies) which I bought pre-publishing
date and which arrived here on my birthday !!

I've started saving for what I think will do very well for that
project. (snip from Photo and Video Price List)
Olympus OM-D EM-1 + 12-40mm f2.8 $2790.00
Olympus OM-D EM-1 body only $1825.00
Olympus OM-D EM-1+ 12-50mm kit $2225.00
Wonderful young landscape there and I also wondered
what caught the attention of Pup? Another walker -
another wild mammal?
Hugin did a great job there; I haven't managed to get it to
work for me yet on either of two computers - one (not
mine) running Windows 7, the other XP.
After all these years I think I have figured out what are the
essential elements of good landscape photography
(which are different from what are required for individual
print sales at the present time, in my opinion), and I think I
am up to the challenge.
The main obstacles I will face are health/physical and
mental fitness, funding, and making sure I find the time
and opportunity over 12 - 24 months.
I don't think the E-3 and the glass I have are quite up to
the kind of standard that Andris attains most of the time.
Possibly the OM-D EM-1+ 12-50mm are up to the
challenge - comments welcome.
I've been astounded by the sharpness of some of his
Mooseness's EM-1 shots that I saw quite some time ago.
