Did you buy a GM1, Emacs?

Did you guys notice the deal on the EM5? I think it's a kit for $500, on slickdeals.

No, just played a bit with one. Nice little camera, although the interface is even worse than on NEX-5n. I didn't think that is possible. Still, it is worth it being so little and light. A couple of points that would significantly improve shooting experience:
1) Do something with the default exposure metering (in A mode): currently it tends to set excessive exposures and thus many burned out areas. Not necessarily a bad thing in my case: I caught myself tending to make too dark images, so sometimes that would be good for me. Still, I can do something with my PP habits while oversatured pixels are oversaturated pixels without any hope to recover lost information in general.
2) I would not set such a #1, if exposure correction process was not so annoying. The one on NEXes and E-mount cameras in general feels like a breeze in comparison with it. And that is not just habit, the interface indeed is too cumbersome.
3) Move mode dial to the left, may be at the cost of slightly more body height: it interfere hitting shutter button in current position, both in classic (eye level) and hip level handling, where I touching the button with my thumb.

Still, it is nice lovely little camera, and although it doesn't rival APS-C (even more so for FF) cameras in IQ, its output is quite good not to care about it much. The thing that I particularly like is it supports 1×1 frame ratio while shooting that really helps to nail best compositions.
