Olympus, learn how to use proactive support to cut down costs

Wow, I didn’t even think this was possible in the modern IT world where software is constantly getting more intuitive and user-focused, but apparently it’s still possible to completely brick a modern digital system camera by accident. All it takes is poorly written software in combination with poorly written documentation (and just a second of [...]

Olympus E-M5 – my next camera?

While I’ve only owned my Olympus E-PM1 a little over a couple of months now (read my review about that camera for more info), I’ve already got my eyes on my next potential upgrade: the Olympus OM-D E-M5.

Pictures from Thailand

The pictures from our wonderful vacation in Phuket, Thailand are now uploaded to the photo gallery. Instead of writing about the vacation here in the blog, I’ll add text descriptions to the photos like I did with our vacation in Sousse 2005. I’ll do that when I get more time. For now, just enjoy the [...]
