Got the EM1X - Zero Buyer's' Remorse and here's why

[drd1135]

For me, it's three identical bodies (E-P5) but two lens sizes:

• Belt-pouch-size (Olympus 9/8, 17/2.8, and classic Pen 38/1.8)
• Shoulder-bag-size (Lumix 14/2.5+Fujifilm 0.76x conversion lens), Sigma Art 30/2.8, and Sigma Art 60/2.8)

I couldn't do that. I'd get mixed up and take the compact body on normal shooting day.

My understanding is that the requirement to have a battery with some charge is just to start the USB charging process. Once the USB charger is active, the camera isn’t using the batteries anymore. I’d be interested if someone with the camera can confirm.

Maybe there's some specific sequence or special charger required but I tried this and the camera shuts off immediately when removing the batteries even after letting the camera charge briefly.
