I've been having issues with jpeg images being... rearranged... as if half the image was shifted down.  When I try to open these images in Photoshop, it tells me they've been damaged or ...

A strange thing is occurring in my recent photos:  Random gray lines.  It's like a line of pixels just went gray instead of recording color information.  It doesn't occur in every photo, and it ...

I'm all for more external control and fewer frills, but I don't shoot RAW and I believe that an LCD adds too much value in tricky lighting conditions to not include.  In my opinion, it's one of ...

View the second one at 100% and look at the waterfall that's just off-center of the photo. You can see the double image, since this one was taken at a faster shutter speed than the first one. ...

These weren't great shots due to the tricky lighting, but I remember being perplexed at the time, since my shutter speeds should have been more than sufficient for biting sharpness, but everything ...

Look up "fill flash". When you have subjects that are against strong backlighting, you get bad pictures unless you compensate somehow. Your camera is averaging the exposure in any auto mode, so a ...

My limited experience with super-telephoto lenses found that 1.) they were too short (70-300mm on a Canon Rebel) and 2.) that zooming out was very useful for FINDING my subject.  Once located, I ...

They should absolutely give you more control over the basic JPEG parameters, like noise handling.  If they do that, I'm on board for an upgrade from the E-M1.  I don't have much hope for this though.

I'd guess that it has to do with dual memory card slots.  It would suck to take a bunch of shots and then find out your card got corrupted.  My E-M1 has only one slot.  Pro Canons typically have ...

Are the JPEG noise reduction presets the same as the E-M1 (i.e. "Off" still applies a significant amount of NR) or have they corrected that?

DPR used to let you compare the noise reduction...

I bought Lightroom because of the aggressive noise reduction.  Ironically, Oly used to let you turn the NR off for real.  The E-PL2 had a gritty look that I found pleasing.  I was irritated when ...

I'm all for JPEG customization, since it's what I shoot.  However, I'm less concerned about the filters and more interested in fine tuning things like noise reduction and color to taste.  I can ...

I am happy for Pentax people. When I was first shopping for a DSLR back in 2004, Pentax made a very compelling argument, and it's always been an intriguing and unique alternative to Canon and...

There are fanatics in every forum. At some point, their camera manufacturer of choice did something (in their view) better than all the competition they viewed. Over time, maybe the competition...

This was kind of a shot in the dark.  I can't quite put my finger on what's different.  Maybe it's a couple of factors.  I was hoping that some of the more technically minded people on this forum ...

None of your options quite match my reasons. The GF1 and 20mm pancake piqued my interest, but the E-P1 had the IBIS that I wanted, so I waited. At around the E-PL2, the image quality was good ...

That's interesting that the contrast seems to be so much higher in the E-M5 shot.  I wonder why that would be.

I believe the E-PL1 and the E-PL2 used the same sensor.
