Most of underwater shots we get to see are of nice looking fish, or a cool coral [...]

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Studio Sample Photos
Posted by Photo-John on May 7, 2012 · 0 Comment
My reaction on looking at my first batch of Olympus OM-D E-M5 photos was, “this camera is better than it has any right to be.” I am really amazed by what Olympus has been able to get out of the E-M5’s new 16-megapixel Four Thirds sensor. I assumed we were reaching the point of diminishing returns with the 12-megapixel sensor in the last batch of Olympus Pen Micro Four Thirds cameras (read [...]
