For Australian Buyers

[BPCS]

Is there a way to apply a sound on the electronic shutter like on Panasonic? I tried it on my EM1.3 and it drove me mad not hearing anything.
I have looked through the menu and manual and cant see anything

Nope... i would like an artificial shutter sound too. You can choose to have focus beep on or off though.

I don't think there will any performace advantage apart the MkIII being able to take 15 shots instead of I think 8 in the MkII
Since I have not used the MkII at all nothing to compare to, but the MkIII does 15 shot stack fairly quickly.

The Mk II does up to 15 shots now (with the FW updates, since FW 3.0).

But it is "Silent Shutter" though. AF Confirm sound can be turned on in Menu 2 though (that applies to Mk II & III).

Well that was good service. Ordered the EM1 MK III Sunday, received it Tuesday. It has stickers on the box 'Australian Version', none of my previous Olympus purchases had any form of stickers like these.

Yeah, this is the one with 'Roo Recognition' Auto Focus!!!

Damn! My just arrived 1ii doesn't have the Aussie stickers. I'm sending it back for a Roo AF version and claiming my free Pavlova Pro.

Well, I haven't heard from Olympus confirming my claim for the 17mm is approved.

But I just received an email from Aus Post /DHL stating that my delivery from Olympus Au is scheduled for next Tuesday or Wednesday !

 

[saladin]

So, not that I'm looking forward to this, or watching closely or anything.

But it was picked up from Oly at 2.06 pm, processed at Eastern Creek at 4.41pm, processed at Sydney at 11.54pm . I need an update this morning, Aus Post!!!

It's gonna be a long long weekend....


On another note, I've sold most of my Pentax Dslr gear. In some ways, I'm quite sorry to see it go. But it was seldom used and has removed the financial urgency to decide if I keep the 1ii or not.

I took the E-M1 III with the 60mm macro out for a quick spin this morning on my way to work. I took around 300 photos, all 15image focus stacks of orchids. My perception is, there appears to be very little, if any, improvement in speed when processing the stack over the MK II. I'm heading out again after work to check out the sun orchids which should be open, but I won't be using this configuration, as it is too windy for focus stacks at the moment.

Undecided whether to advertise sale so thought I'd give Aussie members first shout if interested: Olympus 12-40 pro $700 post free. Mint condition with less than 500 pics taken. If it doesn't go here I'll probably stick with it although it's just lying idle due to health issues. Pics if you need 'em but it's as new. I have a 100% rep on ebay for selling photo gear: https://www.ebay.com.au/fdbk/feedback_profile/bidkev1

Had the same thing happen with a couple of other items. Always happens this time of yeah.

Although I noticed Camera House aren't doing the $999 F1.2 Primes this year. So glad I got them last year (and haven't used them nearly enough)

Is Diamonds Camera, Video & Digital a reputable shop? That is a fantastic price.

Yes, in Adelaide. https://www.diamondscamera.com.au/about-us
If I have a problem I can at least drive to DigiDirect in Sydney (or warehouse in St Peters).
