I am still happy with my E-620 the uk price of this camera seems rather high to say the least. Too high to make an upgrade as yet. https://flic.kr/s/aHsjZpc1so
Olympus OM-D E-M1 - Review extended with more AF insights
We've had more time to shoot with the Olympus E-M1 and have extended our coverage of its AF performance. In addition to incorporating real-world Continuous Autofocus examples and commentary, we've also spent more time shooting with it alongside an E-5, to see exactly how the two compare, and amended our impressions accordingly.

I was surprised at the higher ISO image degradation compared to the E-M5. The difference between the two is noticeable beginning at ISO 3,200 in the test images. At ISO 12,800 all of the cameras images were equally bad.
Updated blog using olympus OMD EM-1 with 45-150mm f4-f6.3
First use of my Olympus OM-D EM1 using 50 mm macro four thirds lens. Replacing Olympus E620 from which I have never had great results even at ISO100 producing pixilated backgrounds. The image clarity and depth of field is outstanding on the EM1.
Another blog using OMD EM-1
There is something missing in the review about auto focus and shutter lag in the real life:
Good follow-up to add to this review of the E-M1 from several months ago. It's still an excellent mirrorless performer relative to newer cameras, like the GH4.
If I was still using a DSLR I'd never be in a position to afford a camera like the Nikon D4s, much less the better lenses you really need to add to the D4s to get the best possible performance out of it.
Yes, the GH4 ups the stakes with stunning AF (fast and stays fast in low light) and everything video.
But if still photography is your main priority, then the E-M1 is a better choice still. The better EVF, the IBIS and and better compativbility with 43 DSLR lenses make it more of an all-rounder for still photography.
So the "enthusiast videographer" would be perfectly OK with not being able to change any setting during (not even exposure compensation) during video recording? The AEL retention being available only when the camera was switched in movie mode beforehand is IMO a shortcoming due to bad software, almost a bug. I really don't see why this should not be available otherwise, and since it seems to be possible to affect exposure during video shooting, there seems to be no hardware limitation to having exposure compensation control while shooting video as well.
RAW vs JPEG
a histogram comparison!
After 5 months of use this are my best captures:
The grip is very sturdy but has a notch in the lower right corner that digs into the heel of my hand. My most serious gripe about this otherwise near-perfect camera.
is the EM1 HLD-7 vertical grip made of metal or plastic?
This Camera have rejuvenated my love for Photography.
I think theres a mistake on page 14 of the EM1 review, when comparing EM1 with EM5, right above the yellow pencils in the 3rd group of images: both columns indicates EM1 ISO 6400. Shouldn't the right column indicate EM5?
Thank you.
Can you adjust the focus point on the M1 while looking through the viewfinder?
Yes, this can be done simply by using the 4-way controller
Yes again, press FN1 and then use the front and rear dials for horizontal and vertical.
Are there any updates on the hot pixel/extreme noise issue in long exposures on the E-M1 yet? I havent heard anything new in a long time. Has Olympus fixed the issue? Were only early EM-1s affected? I want to buy one, but with this issue, that is unlikely.
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, it is well known that the E-M1 produces an ocean of hot pixels on long exposures of 30 seconds or more at base ISO, and the exposure time needed to make them visible drops by one stop for every stop you bump the ISO. Turning on dark frame subtraction almost eliminates the issue, but this makes star trails, fireworks, bracketed long exposures impossible. Examples can be seen here : http://www.seldomscenephotography.com/2013/11/14/the-olympus-e-m1-and-long-exposures/
DPReview : PLEASE update your review to include information on this issue with sample images. This is a HUGE problem that big review sites need to address and let be known, or Olympus may never fix the issue.
Excellent link, thanks for posting. I too have been on the fence regarding the E-M1. I have rented it and loved it, loved the image quality, EVF, and handling, but this hot pixels issue affects more than just stargazers.
Great camera but sensor is too small to control dof or generate bokeh properly, I'll stick to my iPhone for everyday shooting and my D610 for the serious stuff
Cool. Have fun shooting with your iphone.
Unless you are a professional portrait shooter, or one of those amateurs who is hung-up on blurred backgrounds, dof is just one small ingredient in a good photo. Besides, there are other ways to get a shallow dof. If you like shooting posed portraits and have an addiction to shallow dof fine, but for shooting from the hip, spontaneous portraits or street shooting ... good luck sticking that bazooka full frame and giant lens in someones face. And if minimal depth of field is what you crave, dump the D610 soccer mom full frame camera and jump up to a medium frame Hasselblad. Meanwhile, if you look at the pro level photos on 500px, you will see that only a small percentage of them use a shallow dof to blur out the background. My point is .. shallow depth of field is not and should not be the single criterion for buying a camera.
Back as a teenager, I schooled my knowledge of photography from Aaron Sussman's book, written mostly in the 60's, wherein the statement is made to the effect of, 'Even the simplest camera is better than any photographer'. Still true after all the improvements. Still true with musical instruments, golf clubs, hunting rifles, etc. There is no best camera, just good and better. A better musician, golfer, shooter, or photographer will embarrass us with our own inadequate equipment. Consequently, we can use their better equipment to our same result.
Anyhoo, depth of field has more aspects than just format size. Camera to subject distance, subject to background distance, focal length are all examples of how to control depth of field. The physics of photography have not changed but apparently the knowledge of them has, sadly.
Interestingly, in the 60's, 35mm (same size as Full Frame today) was considered a amateur miniature format and one of it's advantages was it's deep depth of field.
Panasonic's 35-100mm f2.8 is sharp wide open and will give you great bokeh on the E-M1 as will the Olympus 75mm f 1.8.
Em-1 sensor sames as GH4 ? or inferior?
The Olympus OM-D EM-1 contains a Panasonic 34231 (MN34230 die markings) CMOS Image Sensor with on-chip phase detection pixel array http://chipworks.force.com/catalog/ProductDetails?sku=OLY-E-M1_Pri-Camera
It explains why on-sensor PDAF doesn't work so well on Sony cameras (so far anyway).
Previously, it was assumed the technology was from Sony and Olympus made it magically work better on their camera.
The in camera flash or flash add on has never been a viable solution. For that reason an external flash is recommended. Stronger flash and bounce flash are two good reasonsI am wondering if I will be able to use my Evolt 510 flash with this camera?
It has and always will be a viable solution, but not on every situation. Just like using a large flashgun is not always the best choice or a ringflash etc.
Like I use a lot the bundled flash because it fits to pocket and can be uses for portraits and macro very well by its nature.
People too often blame camera flash as terrible and advice it should never be used. But think about it. Olympus made a $1500 camera and then couldn't add a integrated flash because EVF so they bundled one small. Why? If it is so inferior, why to add? E-M1 is for professional use and why to add one when all pros has a flashgun? The fact is, do not tell what gear you can't use of you are a pro , because as creative photographer you are required to know all gear and what to use and when.
In so many situations you can't bounce flash or (red eyes). And you really don't need more than fill-flash so it doesn't need to be a huge. So often the required reason to use flashgun is because you just look pro.
You can get 2 batteries and a charger on Amazon for $22.00 for this camera making the battery issue mute.
I bought some for mine. So that gives you 1000 photos you can shoot.
You can
2-3 years ago I was trying Oly's(many of them) in a camera show, with not so challenging lighting situation.All Olympus cameras did struggle to focus...Pentax too.I do not know did this did improved lately. I know 3 years are like 1000 years in technology terms, passed.
Canon/Nikon did not had issues in focusing...My impression from Olympus that they struggle in that(focusing) department.
Ancient history (but partly true)
Funny I am selling my E-M5 OMD for just this issue, I don't know why everybody says it has great autofocusing, its crap in low light, hunts all the time back and forth in video low light, and i am talking sitting around the dinner table at a restaurant with full overhead lighting it hunts! A compact camera can do better. The Nikon D300s I have never has this problem. Does anybody own an OMD E-M1 is it any good at focusing in low light? I am wanting one for underwater photography, was going to buy a housing for the E-M5 but gave up on that idea because of this low light issue with autofocus
EM-5 slow to focus in low light?
NOT my experience
I got ten times as many keepers these evenings as The CaN IkSon bricks and bazooka brigade got (and a MUCH greater variety of shooting angles..
and HERE:
Other galleries under
.. shot mostly with the OMD-EM5
The thing focussed instantly and accurately almost all the time.
Often, I could not even see the subjects without the EFV.
The 5-axis IS also helped drive the keeper rate' up.
Sounds like "the low light issue" is user error...
Party last night - took the OMD as instead of my SONY or Panny P&S cams ...
Nothing critical.
I set the TOUCH screen up to SHOOT when pressed, press on display at the subject's head, WHAM!
Even in quite dim light, it nailed focus instantly (like the EM-5 does)!
Much faster than fiddling with the focus point adjustment.
It trounced the CaNikon users there and they WERE surprised.
I must use this feature more ...
Low light AF issues are NOT present with this camera OR the OMD.
Of course like EVERY cam I've ever tried, if there's strong enough backlight to cause FLARE, or there simply isn't any detail, it will hunt. If that's an "issue", learn how to use a camera!
The E-M5.E-M1 have excellent S-AF and as fast as any camera the weakness and it is a very real weakness comes when you need C-AF or tracking.Along with the poorer high ISO .I speak as a long term mFT user and I currently still have the E-M1 though it will probably be sold to make way for the GH4 as video is a major interest to me. The only way Nikon users were getting worse results { AF,DR,image quality, high ISO} was if they were using P&S. Despite all its wonders the E-M1 actually managed to have slightly worse high ISO than the E-P5 etc. The 5 axis IS or any for of IS , is only advantageous in low light if you are shooting static subjects as IS has zero value for moving subjects.
now the Fuji X-T1 is out. I feel that it will top EM-1 for IQ, and yet cheaper by $100. what do you all guy comment?
EM-1 usability looks superior - fewer needs for menus.
Depends if you ever need to shoot fast and not everyone does.
The X-T1 looks to be a super camera with clearly superior image quality to the E-M1 , pity the video sucks or I would ditch mFT completly.Though to be fair the E-M1 has pretty weak video compared to the Panasonics.
For a mirrorless camera, Micro 4/3 still has a better selection of lenses and to me that is a deal breaker. The lenses are also smaller. The Fuji lenses are too big, almost equal in size to a DSLR.
Having tried the X-T1, I must say it is attractive in terms of looks but the EM1 is much more user friendly. It is also more responsive.
For image quality, the EM1 will give a crisper look with better colours. Good for landscape and general photography. The Fuji will give a better "green" if one prefer this bias. It has to do with the different sensor used.
Overall, I would prefer the EM1. Unfortunately, for the moment, the EM1 is more expensive but it has a true weather proof body with the 12-40mm f/2.8 lens. The Fuji is still trying to make its first weather proof camera.
Question for EM-1 users: Has anyone tried using old C-Mount lenses? Also is there a list of 'lenses which work well' with the MFT mount cameras? I hear that some produce much better quality circles on the MFT sensor than others.
Note: I did try to search at the top of the page but it I didn't seem to bring up anything on the forums. Is there a dedicated forum search which I've missed?
Lossless compression - saves space.
Lossless means like a ZIP file or FLAC ..
ALL of the original data is recovered when opening the file and it therefore we have PRECISELY the original data with no loss at all. It has to work that way.
...and what battery life did you get? Is 350 frames ok for M1 since ..it is not a high profile camera as another one which too does 350 frames on a battery charge, but is evidently higher class and so is judged differently?
ha ha Kiril youj crack me up.
DPR doesn't fall in love with your A7 and you lose it, flooding other comment sections and forums with your "findings."
DPR also didn't really report about the limited bracketing (common Sony oversight) in the A7, yet I don't see you reminding them of that.
What is limited in the A7 bracketing?
You should pay closer attention to the NEX forum, it's common complaint. Not sure if there's an app that fixes all of this (don't think so), but I know those are striking oversights with the camera without apps:
Inability to set bracketing and steps separately.
inability to set timer with bracketing (only possible with remote and even that comes with its own limitations)
Inability not to hold the shutter button with multiple bracketing steps
Batteries are compact, easily three in a pocket.
If you are bracketing it is easy to get 500+ shots on one charge. Presumably the VF to shutter ratio alters the effective consumption.
Aftermarket batteries on eBay are cheap and there are even ones called full "process" or something like that - it means the original charger can be used.
They are $9 and work perfectly.
In the dark that VF dusts glass finders!
My competition could not even SEE some of the things I shot. Without the EVF, in some cases, I could not see THE ACTION either ..
OMDs are brilliant in the dark.
EVFs are a major weakness in low light becoming both laggy and super noisy
Just double up on the frame rate. drains battery quicker, but helps eliminate EVF lagginess. Besides as far as seeing what the result will (mostly) look like, just chimp a few shots and then the camera for the best possible settings and use the EVF for overall composition and pay attention to that histogram. It tells a story that most don't seem to understand.
I recommend against using after-market batteries. I had one expand inside my E-M5. It did some damage and I had to send it away for repair.
The good news is that the repair service from Olympus was excellent. They turned around my camera inside of a week: sent it on Monday, had it back on Friday.
BTW where is the section on compressed RAW that Olypus are using and analysis of the effects of this compresison? or this is only for high profile cameras? and M1 is a.. ..not so high profile?
Lossless compression saves space and like a ZIP file or FLAC file ALL the original is recovered when opening the file.
Lossless compression WORKS that way.
DPR where is the "Camera hangs when multiple live view effects are turned on" Cons? Did you even try switching on the Art filters and peaking together?
ohh or you just love the camera and did not bother go that deep in the review process?
Hasn't happened to me - ever.
I just retried it, latest firmware now, but I did not see this before, either.
I find nothing on flash photography in here. It appears you can only use flash when using the EVF. Using live view mode darkens the results.
.Just upgrading from the E-M5 after purchasing a couple of the 4/3 lenses off eBay before this camera was released. Opens up a whole new world of great lenses.
There are a lot of small APS-C cameras out there. Even some compact lenses to go with them.
Personally, I would not buy into 4/3'rds at this point in time. jmo
Granted, APS-C cameras can be smallish since the sensors are in the same size range. 4/3 is not that much smaller as the conversion to FF is 1.85 vs 1.6 for Canon and 1.55 for Nikon. BUT, with 4/3 you don't have to deal with that old, non standard, oblong, 3/2 format. Oddly enough, in the day when film medium format was cutting edge, there was always the argument of the merits of 6x9 over 6x7 as though the oblong format would somehow make a so so picture an award winning photograph. Personally, I will never again use 3/2 format, I despise it that much. If 4/3 goes the way of the Studabaker, I will use medium format digital or just use film large and medium format. JMO
APS-C fails in the lens department. There's a lack of choice from every manufacturer. Kit lenses there are plenty, but nice primes and constant aperture zooms are lacking across all manufacturers. For Canon and Nikon you constantly have to resort to full frame glass, particularly at the wide end and you end up with strange focal lengths and larger than needed lenses. For NEX it's adapted lenses because of the lack of choice and now that Sony's gone full frame all those holes in the APS-C lens line are likely never to get filled. Fuji has nice lenses, but again not many. It's hard to see that APS-C has any future at all (except as the nichest of players), too big to be small, and not supported by a decent stable of lenses.
Not true with Pentax. Pentax has a very extensive APS-C lens portfolio
And mostly BAZOOKA lenses ...
I carry and EM-1, 8 lenses, FL50 flash, filters, plenty batteries, PL-200 QR, and a few other bits in a LowePro 180 Nova AW bag.
There is NO apsc or FMF (Full Marketing Frame) camera that you could even remotely do that with.
I sometimes don't know the situation so I take ALL the glass with me. Sometimes an EM-5 too.
Both OMDs leave my RB-67 in the DUST.
It had an actual picture area of 56 x 69.5mm, or about - about 4.5 times the 35mm format
Both OMDs leave it in the dust for quality. When there's time, I'll dig out some 4x5 inch negs - about 14.2 TIMES as big as FMF.
I would comfortably expect the OMDs comfortably beating 4x5 IQ. With Zuiko pro or prime lenses I'd expect better sharpness and less grain "noise" - except maybe for unprocessed night shots.
A few samples:
... t b c
3:2 was made popular by good hardware, NOT by having usable ideal proportions!
... it was rarely useful without cropping. You had to "learn the proportions" and try to shoot according to its non intuitive nature.
The proportions were NOT chosen to make good pictures!
They came about by adding 2 movie frames together, and also explains WHY the 6x9 format had VERY few users.
The VAST majority of roll film users (pretty well the only film where you had any choice in negative proportions) prefered 6x4.5 (4:3) and 6x7 (about 5:4, actually) or Hasselblad's SQUARE format (and its nice portable cameras) -NOT- the 3:2 of 6x9 format.
I saw the boxes leave the store.
FEW film formats had such weird elongation, all used a more ART-like aspect.
Pity it wasn't a much better 25x35mm format. (1.4:1)
I'm starting an informal 4:3 lens sample gallery.
I plan to do an EM-1 and EM-5 comparisons of near identical shots soon.
Hello, I have an OMD EM5 and 75mm 1.8 lens. Most of my shots aure either out of focus or slow to focus small kids. Is this fast in OMD EM1? Is there a firmware or setting I should look at to make the focussing faster and accurate?
If you're using the lens at wide aperture (such as f1.8) then it has a very narrow depth of field, so fast, relatively close to the camera children will always be a challenge. Tracking auto focus will help - it isn't brilliant on the E-M5 and is reported to be much better on the E-M1 due to its phase detection autofocus. I'm not guaranteeing it'll solve your problem though. If you post in the Micro Four-Thirds forums there are a lot of helpful people there who may be able to offer suggestions.
a 75 is like a 150 on 35mmFF totally the wrong lens for children up close. A 45mm is a much better choice here as it is 90mm equiv. but imo a 25mm (equiv to the nifty fifty) is the best choice.
The DOF of the 75 is so narrow it's like 8 cm on a three meter distance a challenge for any camera, a 45 the DOF is 25 cm.
I guess you're a beginner that bought into an advanced system.
Learn to use it first before spending too much money on lenses that are not suitable for the job!
It's a great lens for kids. Make sure both Lens and camera are at latest firmware levels and narrow the focussing spots. Also yurm eye focus on.
Here .. shot with lowered sharpness/contrast, NO additional lighting.no problem.
Try to have the child move across the frame, as few longish lenses can cope with a child at close chil running towards the camera.
Gives the parents a hard time too :P
I can't help but wonder if the MFT consortium (Panasonic, Olympus) will be offering a larger sensor at these prices! (aps or larger)
ie: put all that extra space and money to work!
No they won't. Its at this price because of many other features. I also don't want any camera at this price that only has large sensors but without the features that E-M1 has.
By that 'reasoning', an F-150 is a "better car" than a BMW ... must be .. more materials.
Andy, thank you for all your info and help. On the Olympus OM-D E-M1 can the camera generate immediately after shooting a playback of the image you just took without pressing any buttons (like Nikon)?
Thank you for your help!
Yes, it can. It's configured in the Setup Menu (spanner icon), 'Rev View' - you can select how long the just-shot image will display from 0.3sec to 30sec.
Olympus in finally making some really excellent M4/3 cameras and glass. I'm almost in, but will wait to see if they will ever get around to adding a "Fully" articulating LCD on their cameras. It's almost as if they think having a limited articulating LCD is somehow a niche'. LOL...Weird...Hopefully, they'll get with the program.
I am really loving what I'm seeing, otherwise... :0)
I originally thought the tilt screen was a step backwards compared to the fully articulated screen of my E-620. However, on second thoughts, I feel the tilt screen makes more sense on a touch screen.since it provides a more stable platform when pressing buttons.
You know, the articulating LCD on the 620 was one of those "cool" features like the 'back lit buttons' that I thought would be really handy until day to day practice kinda proved differently. After moving the LCD around for a while first out of the box and saying "cool" a couple times, it rarely moves. I heavily rely on the veiwfinder, so typically, Im not going to-have time/feel like-moving it out and around. I know other's mileage may vary, but Im not sure that a non articulated LCD is a step back like an LCD that you cant see in daylight would be.
I think it's great we are living in a time where all of the camera manufactures are stepping up and producing some really fine products to choose from. Especially when the weakest links are basically subjective ones.
When I use my cameras on a tripod, the fully articulating LCD really shines, for me. When I'm handholding a camera, I prefer to have the LCD closed, which is actually another good reason I prefer a fully articulating LCD.
Still, the newer Olympus cameras are impressive... :0)
As far as street shooting is concerned, tilting screen is preferable: it is much quicker to deploy. As far as self-shooting, E-PL5 has tilting screen which flips ~180 degrees up. Of course E-PL5 doesn't have a built-in viewfinder hump.
The OMD-E-M! is a great camera except for one big problem. I want to shoot HD video with it and send the HDMI output to an external video recorder. like a Sound Devices Pix. This camera will not output a video signal through HDMI while shooting, only in playback mode. For me this is a serious flaw on an otherwise great camera.
Panasonic, I believe, introduced something called pinpoint auto focus with the GX1 or G5. Does the E-M1 have a similar auto focus setting? Is this what is refereed to as Single in the Specs? If either of these is true does it work the same way with Olympus as with Panasonic?
Has a nice weight/handling combo and feels comfy on my hands. Design reminds me of the Japanese Gundam... but I'm leaning towards the GX-7 at the moment.
I am struggling to choose from these two systems. May I know what is the factor you think GX 7 is over em-1 in your thoughts. Lol, just for my reference. Thx
The links to download the original videos haven't fixed yet. :/
This Oly, or its successor, will be in camera stable one day.
No built in flash. Even the silly add on does not bounce. So you have to be that guy...the guy that blinds everybody with no bounce. The flip LCD does not allow for self biographical.
I've discovered that using something like a "softbox flash diffuser" add on to the flash produces the same effect; I rubber band a kleenex to the flash and achieve the same result and costs less.
Hi, when I have made a picture with the M1, I always have to wait quite a long time to take the next. I use new very fast writing chips (90MBS/sec), but have to wait 2 sec until te camera is ready for the next picture.
Why? the last OMD was quicker.
second question: when I use an adapted telephoto lens (nikon IF-ED 4,5/300 or Leica Telyt 6,8/400) and use the magnification for focusing accuracy, I can't stabilize the viewfinder image, perhps I overlooked the user's manual? Is it possible to activate the IBIS with adapted lenses with minimum fuss? The viewfinder is not really usable without a stabilization because the image is much too unsteady.
With panasonic one have only to half-press the button of the shutter and the viewfinder is stable.
I have a EM5. Try turn off the "Reduce the noise" option. This will solve your issue.
Number one, make sure you turn off the "rec view". Also Noise reduction should be off.
As fore the IS, you go to SCP, select IS, press OK, then press info. Adjust the focal length to the closest focal length of the lens you are using.
Just had this yesterday with the 12-40 2.8 Still trying out everything but only one thing has really been bothering me, the EVF is so sensitive that it keeps activating and thereby shutting down the screen. This even happens when viewing the pictures in Play mode, a slight pass of anything (shadow, finger, hand) over the EVF turns the screen off and goes to shooting mode. I measured the distance from which the EVF activates and it is 41mm (1.6 inches) from the rubber cup. Anybody got a fix to this?
Just turn the auto-switch feature off, it's a nuisance. It's just as easy to go from viewfinder to LCD with a button push.
Or keep your fingers away from the eyepiece - it is seeing them and 'thinks' you've lifted the cam to your face!
I cured myself after half a dozen times. No problem now.
I had 6 Digital Cameras since 2001. And this Camera makes me Emotional.
This is the best one I have used. The one that keeps me excited everyday.
Fastest in everything, Sharpest, Cleanest, Great color, Very versatile, Complete bang for the buck. Amazing lens selection at the most reasonable price. Bleeding edge Software and functions. It makes me drop down in tears. I cant believe I was able to save up and get the pre-order and find out that it will go way above my expectation. Thank you olympus, this year was very tough for me, but you are a source of my inspiration... Looking forward to weekend adventures with you.!
Hi Robert,
I looked up some of your shots on 500px.com . Congratulations! Some really nice pictures there, and not only when using the E-M1. You are very talented. Keep up the great work and enjoy life!
Yep, I totally agree. I've owned many cameras, film and digital, but nothing comes close to my O-MD E-M1. Not since a stint with an OM2 Spot Program back in the '80s, have I had so much fun with, and been so impressed by a camera. So glad I offloaded my Nikon D600 and it's bulky everything. That was a nice camera too, but there are too many benefits of this system, like great little lenses, everything's more affordable, way lighter kit, more intuitive GUI, touch screen focus/shoot. I could go on...
Aw, hell..... now I'm misty-eyed. Really, without sarcasm....I'm not that cold-sunnovah out here trolling and tracking; hunting whatever shreds of civil discourse may still be found online, between the lines, so as to crush it and watch it die.. Nor did I ever think a comment might braid itself into a strand of human truth complete with visual, photographic storytelling.... So cool. Now that's inspiring - thanks fellas!
Oly mentions uploading to a PC in their specs for the EM-1. Is there anything in the firmware/hardware/flatware that precludes interfacing with a Mac, or requires something that I'm overlooking? (It shouldn't matter but for complete disclosure I'm using Aperture for PP.)
2. I'm not clear if a tethered off-camera flash is fully auto TTL?
3. Is it necessary that the cable be a dedicated Oly product to an Oly flash unit?
If my questions reflect some confusion and don't make sense please feel free to reframe them as needed.
Many thanks, Ty
There is an Olympus app for the Mac - you connect the camera via the provided cable and check for and install firmware updates via the app. All works fine!
Yes, off camera flash is fully auto TTL.
AND off-camera flash can also be wireless :) No tether needed.
It's the same size as my XSi and 10% heavier. What did it do with the should-have size advantage of the 4/3 sensor and lack of a mirror?
It has smaller volume. So when diving you have more chances to be unnoticed by the fish.
XSi is a consumer grade SLR without
1. Magnesium alloy body
2. Tilting & much higher resolution screen
3. Weather proofing
4. High speed burst till 9 frames/sec
5. Continuous focusing in full HD movies (XSi can take movie)
6. Much smaller form factor when coupled with MFT pancake lenses like Lumix 20mm F1.7. There more................
I really wonder why you wanted to compare XSi with EM-1.
the operation is better for E-M1 and I hope Canon and Nikon entry-level SLRs could catch up.
Umh... comparing with XSi, you should compare it with E-PM2, which I think would be the same class and market. Not to E-M1. Too many features that XSi dont have.
What do you "need" a mirror for?
Shake the camera more? Adjust make-up?
The brilliant EVF, dusts any OVF for dim light work - period.
OMD's shine in dim light. To Wit: http://photohounds.smugmug.com/Performing-arts
A question to DPReview team:
I was comparing the lowlight and daylight charts of Olympus E-M1 and Panasonic G6 and I noticed that G6 output is much softer in daylight test than in lowlight. Unfortunately I can't attach screenshots in the comment, but you will easily notice this issue, for example at ISO 200 when comparing the resolution test circles with radial lines. Most probably there was some difference in G6 settings in daylight and lowlight tests. I just wonder what could be the cause of that? Thanks
> much softer in daylight test than in lowlight.
it's the noise that makes images look "sharper"
why people prefer D800E over D800.
ISO really means readout and process than exposure and even for exposure/metering ISO doesn't tell it right when you go to check a small portion of the image.
Just be aware that you cannot stream photos onto your smartphone while you are shooting (great for live blogging and tweeting of events); the software only works when it's controlling the camera.
Can I have some advice/feedback on the quality/usefulness of electronic viewfinders? My reference is the optical viewfinder in a pre-digital SLR, which I liked very much.
You might want to read this:
as well as read this thread:
My personal experience with electronic viewfinders is with older cameras (Olympus E-100RS and Minolta Dimage 7i). They were pretty bad. Although they did not prevent me from shooting good pictures, I much prefer the optical viewfinder of my E-510 and E-620 which are currently in my camera bag. Cameras with 24x36 sensors (aka Full Frame) and even APS-C sensors have bigger and brighter viewfinders than OVF in 4/3 models but these cameras are generally too large and heavy to suit my needs. Other prefer them. To each his own.
As much as I like my current cameras with OVF, my next camera will likely use an EVF.
IMHO, the best EVFs are about equal to the worst (mirror) SLR finders.
Advantages - they can be larger, they provide lots of detail, you can see white balance, exposure directly and picture styles in the finder (more or less) and usually provide a more visible image in the dark.
Disadvantages: overall they just look like TVs: contrasty, with lover resolution and unreal colors. They're shiny/bright, which can be distracting when shooting in the dark. You can often see the noise. Sometimes the color balance is quite off. Often not fast enough for action photography (though not really an issue these days i think). You also have to keep them on all the time in order to shoot together with the imaging sensor, i.e. battery drain and potential heat issues.
So compared to low-end DSLRs, the best EVFs are about equal.. Compared to pentaprism OVFs in better DSLRs, EVFs are still pretty crap though they have some advantages in some situations.
EVFs are not so good but usable, especically if the user is willing to accept it.
the most unpleasant may be the color balance, and may be that's why many people close their left eye when peeping into an EVF.
The advantage in DSLR compared to film in my opinion, is the ability to see the result instantly AFTER we shoot. Well, using EVF the most useful benefit is, we can preview the result BEFORE we shoot. So, the most important benefits for photographers would be: More precise shooting. We set the WB right, exposure right, etc from the very beginning. Shoot more, less chimping.
Even the EVF in the EM-5 which I still have is quite usable.
One had to "learn" that the VF dims when testing DOF with a preview.
No more.
One had to "learn' to guess focus in really dim light or accept some camera guess.
No more.
The EM-5 (and especially the EM-1) finder gives you pretty well the look of the file it will create (with the current settings!) and they are good files indeed.
The EM1- has no noticeable graininess is and very sharp indeed (when actually using the camera to TAKE PICTURES, that is) . It gives nothing important away to OVFs and in fast action you turn the image preview off and it's pretty smooth and fast too. OVF had a slight edge there.
The EVFs absolutely leaves OVFs in the Dust when you are shooting scenes like this ..
.. cont
.... cont
And in bright light? Well let's go straight to the brightest light in the soar system ..
You'd even CONSIDER looking through an OVF at this?
Real use is far more relevant (to me) than some technical discussion that hinges on nostalgia and on how well pentaprisms are ground and silvered.
If EVFs were available in 1936 do you really think the Germans would have bothered grinding a lump of glass?
Not likely ...
I just starting shooting today with the E-M1 in Tignes France. It was about -15C and the camera was in the air all day. Shooting World Class skiers in burst mode and it never missed a beat. Shot with the 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II. Great results. Did not use all of one battery all day.
Pentax seems more robust, OMD1 too flimsy...
And 43 sensor is a step down from APSC in terms of noise and artificial

I thought I would use this when going out, just to prevent me from taking a bag to dinner or a movie. But I've found that I use it every day. It's allowed me to carry a much smaller bag. Really convenient to have your cards & cash in your phone case. Don't know about you, but I don't leave home without either of them. Love this case.
I love it. It made it so easy to keep up with my phone and wallet and I don't forget it anymore and it nice to have
Bought as a gift. The quality, value were her good for this product. Person who got the gift liked it very much.
This item is a little more bulker than expected but, overall I like it. I have been using it for a few weeks and so far expect to continue using it.
I like that this iPhone case has slot for a picture ID and credit cards.

BIggers had horrific ball awareness. Guy could cover just fine and then NEVER make a play on the ball to prevent the WR from getting a reception. That is surely my recolection of watching him.
What? This is reality. The Buccaners coaches made Biggers the no.1 cb the last few years, not me. It was the coaches who thought he was better than those other guys and made him our no.1 cb, not me. That is all truth. I dont go into the season expecting disappointment, i just know exactly what i am looking at. If you want to have blind faith in this organisation, go ahead, but Im going to evaluate everything for myself.
Biggers gets trashed by Buc fans. People act like he was the second coming of Tim Wansley.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
A 17 year pro basically said that Schianos defense was crap. LOL...newsflash.
I like schiano but I don't blame sheridan, I blame the inferior talent level we had last season.

"As the game went along," Soriano said, "I said to myself that I might win the MVP."
"You said that?" came a sudden voice to his right.
It was Derek Jeter, his former double-play partner with the Yankees.
"Well, I didn't say that," Soriano said with a laugh. "I was thinking about it, though."
Continuing a magical season in his post-Yankee world, the Texas Rangers second baseman became the first Major League player to win the Top Vote-Getter award and the All-Star Game's MVP award in the same summer. Soriano was 2-for-3, and his three-run homer off Clemens in the six-run first inning broke the game open and proved to be the decisive blow in a 9-4 victory at Minute Maid Park.
Soriano, whose No. 12 jersey from the game now goes on to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, is just the latest in a long line of AL MVP winners. Not since Mike Piazza won the award in 1996 has an NL player been selected as MVP, as the AL has gone 7-0-1 since that Midsummer Classic.
This award carried another special significance, and only further demonstrating Soriano's popularity among baseball fans. The same online users who helped Soriano to a Major League-best 3,466,447 votes as a starter also were able to make a difference for him at MLB.com with the Ameriquest All-Star 2004 MVP Vote.
Fans voted in huge numbers starting in the sixth inning, and their decision counted 20 percent toward the official voting. The other 80 percent came onsite from the Baseball Writers Association of America and the announcers from the All-Star Game's three broadcast rightsholders: FOX Sports, ESPN Radio and MLB International.
"I'm going to put this award in my living room at home," Soriano said. "I am so happy right now."
It is hard to imagine otherwise. Few people could have expected things to work out the way they have for the player who was the "other guy" in the Alex Rodriguez trade before the season began. The Yankees dealt him to Texas because they had an opportunity to acquire the player generally acknowledged as the best in the game. Soriano went to the Rangers, a club given little chance this season in the AL West by most prognosticators.
While A-Rod has helped the Yankees to the best record in the Majors entering the second half, it has been something of a dream season so far for Soriano and the Rangers. He has helped the club to the top of the AL West standings, and he was announced as the top All-Star vote-getter when the first balloting updates were announced. He remained in that position until the starters were announced, and it was ironic to see that he would start in an infield that featured Yankees at first, third and shortstop.
"I feel tonight, honest, like I'm coming back to play for the Yankees, because of having Joe Torre as manager, Jeter at short, [Jason Giambi] at first," he said. "You know, I feel like I'm back playing for the Yankees."
In fact, Soriano immediately followed three Yankees in the batting order when the absolutely shocking damage was done on this night. The AL had taken a 3-0 lead on Manny Ramirez's two-run homer. A-Rod struck out swinging, Giambi reached first on an error by second baseman Jeff Kent, and then Jeter singled to put runners on the corners. Up stepped Soriano to face his former teammate, the 41-year-old Man of the Night, starting an All-Star Game in his hometown.
The first pitch from the Rocket was a splitter, and Soriano swung and launched one over the wall in left. It was like a continuation of Monday's Century 21 Home Run Derby.
"I feel a little sorry because he's been nice to me all the time," Soriano said of Clemens. "But you know, I had to do my job in the game. I'm sorry, but you know, I'm happy right now."
In the third inning, Soriano singled to left to load the bases. The AL did not score, but by then those MVP wheels were spinning in his head. The funny thing is, Jeter might have been the next-best choice in the MVP voting if you were one of those fans making the call. Jeter was 3-for-3. It was almost like old times.
Torre has seen both clubs benefit from that blockbuster trade, and he has nothing but good things to say about the man the Yankees sent to Texas.
"Well, I think it was a great trade for both clubs," he said. "I think it was a great trade for Sori, because, you know, I think the people in New York lost sight of how inexperienced he is, just a few years.
"So I think it was an opportunity for him to get out, and he seems to have a smile on his face all the time. He's got a great talent. He's a great talent and he's a great young man and he wants to play every day. I think it's terrific. Of course, we came away with a pretty good ball player, too, but I think it's a great chance for him ... to flourish."
Soriano has flourished, all right. He is hitting .289 with 17 homers and 55 RBIs at the break, and he came into these festivities already with five homers in July. He came to the All-Star Game with a few new teammates in tow -- Michael Young, Kenny Rogers, Francisco Cordero and Hank Blalock. After that big homer by Blalock off Eric Gagne at the 2003 All-Star Game, Texas clearly is doing its share in determining that World Series home-field advantage for the AL.
Blalock's locker was right next to Soriano's. "Nice going, man," Blalock said to him as he returned from the postgame interview room.
"It's great," Soriano said, soaking in the thrill of his big night -- and his big year. "My first year with the Texas Rangers, being the top vote-getter at the All-Star Game, now the MVP ... I'm just so happy right now. It's pretty amazing. It feels so great because no one was thinking about the Texas Rangers before, and now they'll think about them.
"It's a long season, and now I have to focus on the second half and playing hard to help my teammates, but I am going to enjoy this for just a little bit."
When asked to talk about how his life has changed in the last six months, Soriano just smiled.
"Yes, a lot of changes with me in my life," he said. "But, you know, you have to know everything is possible. I'm so happy that I'm part of the group, the Texas Rangers, and the MVP tonight. You know, sometimes things happen for a reason, and I'm so happy right now that I got the MVP."

Salem, N.H. - Police here say two women are facing charges after they allegedly went on a spending spree with cash and credit cards they stole from a Salem man.
Police said one of the women met the man at the Foxwood Resorts Casino in Connecticut on Sunday and went home with him to Salem. They said she called a friend for a ride Monday morning.
The man reported the theft that morning. Within 15 minutes of receiving the report, police said they found the women's vehicle and determined several ATM withdrawals and purchases were made totaling more than $1,800.
They identified the women as 29-year-old Heather Middleton of Sarasota, Fla., and 29-year-old Kiow Sharpe, of Lowell, Mass. Middleton and Sharpe were arrested on two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card and other charges.

Ketchikan, on the southwest side of Revillagigedo Island, grew up around salmon canneries and sawmills. Ketchikan's name supposedly comes from the native term "Katch Kanna", which roughly translates: "spread wings of a thundering eagle." At one time Ketchikan was proclaimed the "Salmon Capital of the World." An outstanding collection of totem poles make a visit to Ketchikan essential for anyone interested in Native art. Travelers flock to Ketchikan for their first look at the North Country, and are rarely disappointed.

Your caravan of karts sets out to explore the remote back country along several miles of improved forest trail, with your guide in the lead ATV. A comfortable pace is maintained as you thread your way around steep curves, climbing to reveal unparalleled views of the Tongass National Forest, Behm Canal and Alaska's fabled Inside Passage. Stops are made along the way to soak up the grandeur and beauty of this lush land.

Hope you dont intend to plant garden in that mud!---you will never get them chunks worked down! thanks; sonny
Re: Old Nellie Plowing 2010
I have planted in in that mud for over 40 years,and it will work up just fine. Never is a long time
But I'm always open to an experts opinion. Thanks A lot Johnny
Re: Old Nellie Plowing 2010
Johnny, be thankful for that kind of soil. In our area we have a lot of clay, and if you plowed and worked ground that wet you would have to forget about it for 2 or 3 years. the clods would be like concrete.

Re: Old Nellie Plowing 2010
Here too in this black clay gumbo!---even a tad bit wet will kill it for that whole year!--clods wont break up and the more you try the harder they get,--resulting in nothing growing! thanks; sonny
Re: Old Nellie Plowing 2010
Never worked with clay soil. But I can see that it needs to be worked when dry. My land is very rich and kind of sandy.I plowed that field at 9 AM and by 12 noon I ran my disc over it three times. Looks real good, And I'm going to plant potatoes in the morning. THANKS JOHN I can see what he meant by never. THANKS JOHNNY
Re: Old Nellie Finished Plowing
It's amazing what these little Cubs can do. I know, I have a 48 Cub also, with hand lift. Its always nice to see photos of cubs in action!

A school districts and open-enrollment charter school was eligible to apply if at least 70% of the students enrolled were identified as economically disadvantaged for each of the preceding three school years.
The pilot program funds a wide variety of clubs that fall into the two general categories of academic or co-curricular clubs. Academic clubs are directly related to subjects taught as part of the foundation curriculum such as a math, science, or reading club, while co-curricular clubs focus on special topics and/or areas of particular interest to students that have a clear but indirect relationship to the curriculum, such as environmental issues, robotics, or creative writing.
No funding was appropriated for this program in the 2010-2011 biennium.

"That was sick, bro," said Ortiz. "I hit my head on the roof once. I got up so high. I was like, whoa. I was so excited. You could see it just watching Barry Bonds. This guy, every time he hits a ball, he hits it 500 feet, and he was impressed when Sammy was hitting them. I'm not going to try and hit it that far, but I'll try and hit it over the fence."
Needless to say, Ortiz is more than a little bit excited about representing the American League in this Monday night's Century 21 All-Star Home Run Derby at Minute Maid Field in Houston.
"To me, when I watch the All-Star Game, I never want to miss the Home Run Derby," Ortiz said. "That's the fun part about all of this. It's tremendous."
It has been an exciting week for Ortiz. On Sunday, he was named to the All-Star Game for the first time in his career. And he got the word on Wednesday morning that he was invited to participate in the Home Run Derby as well.
Fellow Sox slugger Manny Ramirez was initially invited to participate, but he informed Major League Baseball that he wanted his good friend Ortiz to represent the Red Sox in the contest.
"Manny told me, 'I might be able to hit a home run in the game, but not in batting practice,'" laughed Ortiz. "Manny always says that he uses the pitchers' power to hit homers. There's not going to be no pitchers' power in the Home Run Derby."
Ortiz has no such trouble generating power during batting practice. The menacing slugger can launch BP blasts with the best of them.
Is he worried the Derby will mess up his swing?
"My swing has been messed up since I started playing baseball for the first time," Ortiz said. "I always [swing for the fences], bro."
He's been doing a pretty good job of it. Ortiz entered play on Wednesday tied with Ramirez and the Rangers' Hank Blalock for the American League lead in home runs with 22.
More than anything, the left-handed slugger is looking forward to the special atmosphere that will be at this year's contest. All of the living members of the 500-home run club have been invited to attend, a list that includes greats Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Reggie Jackson, Mike Schmidt, Willie McCovey, Frank Robinson, Mark McGwire, Ernie Banks and Eddie Murray. Ortiz is just as much looking forward to competing with active 500-home run bashers Bonds, Sosa, Ken Griffey Jr. and Rafael Palmeiro.
"Dude, when you're going to compete with guys like that, you've got to swing hard," said Ortiz. "Believe me, those guys are not a joke. You've got to swing hard. I guess just hanging out with those guys will be fun."
And thanks to the jovial presence of Ramirez, Ortiz looks forward to having his own cheerleading section.
"Manny is going to advise me," said Ortiz. "He gave me his spot in the Home Run Derby, so I better show up with some good stuff, otherwise he's going to kick my [backside]."
Sox manager Terry Francona was glad to see Ortiz receive the honor.
"This home run hitting contest should be good for baseball," Francona said. "It's really taken over more of the spotlight than the game. I can see why. David will probably do a great job. His personality, it's good for baseball. His personality will show through."

UNCW Press Release
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Christian Wolfe's three-run homer keyed a five-run first inning and UNCW held off a late charge by Northeastern for a 7-6 win in the opening game of a Colonial Athletic Association series at Brooks Field on Friday.
The Seahawks improved to 33-13 overall and 14-4 in the league. They also avoided their first three-game losing skid of the season as they upped their home record to 22-7. The Huskies, meanwhile, dropped to 24-19 and 8-11 in the CAA.
Freshman Terence Connelly led the Seahawks with three hits and a walk. Drew Farber added two hits. For Wolfe, it was his second homer of the season.
Aaron Barbosa and Michael Foster each collected three hits for the Huskies, who entered the game last in the league with a .265 average, but out hit UNCW, 11-10. Both also scored two runs.
Mat Batts (8-2) earned the win despite allowing six runs on 10 hits over six and 2/3 innings. He struck out eight and did not walk a batter.
James Mulry (2-1) was tagged with the loss, allowing six runs on seven hits and five walks in three-plus innings.
Next up: The series continues on Saturday with a 2 p.m. start. RHP Jordan Ramsey (6-3, 2.24 ERA) will make the start for the Seahawks while the Huskies send RHP Nick Berger (4-5, 3.43 ERA) to the bump.
How it happened: The Seahawks jumped in front with five runs in the first inning, four coming with two out. Ryan LaGrange struck out, but reached safely on a wild pitch. Matt Keeler followed with a walk and Christian Wolfe homered to right center for a 4-0 lead. Luis Renvill plated the final run of the frame with a RBI single.
Inside the numbers: The Seahawks landed a season-high tying seven leadoff hitters on base, but went 4-for-21 with runners on base … UNCW did plate four runs with two outs on the evening … NU went just 1-for-9 with two out … The Seahawks drew a season-high 12 walks.
Notes: The Seahawks stranded a season-high 15 runners on base, two short of the school record of 17 … Michael Bass doubled to lead off the game and extend his on-base streak to 42 games and his current hitting streak to nine … Also extending hitting streaks were Luke Dunlap (16) and Ryan LaGrange (15) … UNCW is now 9-3 in one-run contests … UNCW is now 13-6-1 all-time against the Huskies and 7-0 at Brooks Field in the series.

Comments about Raith eVent:
My initial experiences with Teva shoes were not very good. I had owned two pairs - a hiking shoe and trail sandals. On both, the construction of the shoe failed after only moderate use. I contacted Teva and they offered a fair deal whereby I got partial credit on the two. So, with this in hand, I purchased the Raith eVent.
The minute I put them on I was sold on this shoe. They are very comfortable, supported my feet well, and felt like they would last. I have flat feet so I have a lot of difficulty finding shoes that fit correctly and don't tire my feet quickly. I was in heaven with these - and I was anxious to try them out on the trail. I spent two weeks out in the sand and slick rock of Arizona and Utah and these hikers were just perfect. I brought along a second pair of hikers from a competitive brand, as I always do, but I never wore them. The Raiths are that good. Great traction when hiking slick rock, trudging through miles of deep and loose sand, and carefully negotiating very slippery mud. I never lost my footing and sand never got into the shoes. The mud easily washed off and they were ready for going out to dinner after a long day of hiking and photography. As long as these are made by Teva I will always have a pair in my closet and in my travel duffel.

Comments about Raith eVent:
Very comfortable, but after such a long search for quality and beauty, I bought this 4162 and just one hiking and the fabric started to rip off at the union with the rubber.
So you spend the money and have to look for a new one because the waterproof capacity goes away.

When J.J. Abrams took over the "Star Trek" franchise in 2009, he boldly went where the series hadn't gone before — romantically — pairing Uhura with Spock. Many fans disliked the change. Some loved it. Others didn't care, because they just wanted to see Kirk and Spock make out.
This story is about that third category.
For decades, Kirk/Spock has been one of the most popular couples in fan fiction, a genre in which fans write stories using characters from books, movies, TV shows and even real life. (Kirk/Spock spawned the subgenre "slash" — fan fiction about same-sex entanglements.)
Fan fiction is having a moment right now, and not just because "Star Trek Into Darkness" has thrown a luscious new villain, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, into the mix.
The success of "Fifty Shades of Grey," originally written as Twilight fan fiction, has major publishing houses intrigued. In February, Simon & Schuster published "Beautiful Bastard," a reworking of another Twilight fan fiction; the sequel is out May 28. Last fall, Penguin hired a 16-year-old to adapt her One Direction fan fiction into a young-adult novel.
Maybe it's about time. "Fan fiction is one of the great unsung popular literary movements of the past 50 years," Time magazine book critic and author Lev Grossman wrote this month. His novel "The Magicians" and its sequel riff on the magical worlds of J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien and others, so you know that dude reads fan fic.
Fan fiction is like methadone to a heroin addict, offering a come-down from the high of the original creation. It's a rebound relationship, filling the gaping hole left when a favorite series ends (or starts to decline).

Central Tractor (formerly Valu-bilt)
They sure aren't TM! I placed a small order, last Saturday, on line,with Central tractor. Specified Priority Mail, for shipping. Checked the website, Wednesday, and it said "shipped". Finally arrived, jut now. Postmarked Wednesday! Maybe I'm spoiled, by TM's service. I didn't expect it to be shipped on the weekend, but, the third business day?? My guess is that they don't want my business, so I'll comply! Ed

Re: Central Tractor (formerly Valu-bilt)
The experience is quite common. Many retailers do not stock the all or most of the items offered on their web site or in their catalog. The retailers simply take the order, then reorder the item from the supplier.
Priority mail only applies to the service provide by the post office.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Old Saybrook — State police bomb technicians and with the Old Saybrook Police Department have finished searching the middle school and have deemed the school safe.
The school was evacuated this morning after a written bomb threat was found inside the school.
Lt. Kevin Roche said the note was found around 9:45 a.m. He said students were safely transported to the high school and will remain there for the remainder of the academic day. Buses will pick up students at the high school and take them home.
Roche said the children are safe, but parents may pick up their children if they feel it is necessary.

My Kubota seat finally gave out on me. I bought a replacement from Kubota more than ten years ago and it was over than $100.00 back then. So I headed to Tractor Supply for a replacement. What I found was a $140.00 seat staring at me. Wow, I thought I better shop around. When I got home I went on line to check out Orschelns which is about twenty miles away in Lawrenceburg Indiana. I have to go to Lawrenceburg later in the week so I figured it wouldn't be out of my way. What I found on line knocked my socks off.
The above are identical seats having the same model number. It's pretty easy to tell where my new seat is coming from. Even if I didn't have to go to Lawrenceburg for other business, I would have gone just for that kind of saving.
