My New Gear: OM-D E-M1

Introducing: My new camera! The Olympus OM-D E-M1.

After reading the reviews from the internet and watching demos in YouTube; I've decided to sell all my Nikon gear (a Nikon D7100, Tokina 12-24mm f4 and Nikon 24-85mm) for this camera.

Why change from a DSLR to Micro 4/3 camera? Because it is small, lightweight and the images from this camera is simply awesome!

I've been using a DSLR for the past 5-6 years and I love the image quality created from those cameras. But the hustle of carrying a bulky camera and gears always make me wishes that someday this kind of camera will turn smaller and lighter.. without compromising the image quality. I love to travel and I always wanted a camera that I can hold it all day long without having to think how to carry them. Then OM-D E-M1 came out and I've just meet the right contender.

I've purchased it last weekend and only yesterday I've got a chance to test it out. Love the lens, the the camera, love the images! Have you ever imagine shooting an interior building with aperture of f4 and at 0.02 second of shutter speed? With a bulky DSLR I can guarantee that your images is full of crap!

See the interior image below. The settings are 0.02 sec (1/50), f/4.0, 12 mm, ISO 1600, Hand Held!
It is sharp!! It is awesome and I just love it!

I've fall in love with this camera. Coupled with the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO lens this camera is just simply awesome!

Amazing pictures Hisham. I can get better images from the E-M1 compared to my OLD DSLR APSC with its very poor performing kit lens..

My frustrations are gone and I am actually blown away by the E-M1.
looking forward to get the M. Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro
