Olympus E-M1X

Am I going to follow the herd? My back tells me I should.

Olympus have loaned me a Olympus E-M1X plus a M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4 IS PRO to play with for a couple of weeks.

I'm still grappling with the new array of buttons. And there are a lot of them. In the process of picking up the camera I've somehow managed to take twenty or so shots, before even looking through the viewfinder. I don't feel I'm in control of the camera yet, but then I have used Canon for at least the last thirty years so its going to take some time.

Next problem was viewing the results. I'm still using a prehistoric computer with an old photoshop installed. It won't even open the DNG files converted from the Olympus RAW Files (ORF).

My back though is happy.
