And that is a promise? :D

The thing is that Pentax SR as also those IBIS thingies, work best and with OEM lenses on right body(Dual IBIS won't work with Oly, when non Oly lens is mouted). I'v found out that also Pentax SR works best with modern lenses, and Pentax labeled aswell. I suppose that it can compute things better with more accurate info between lens and camera.

This especially when working with lenses where you have to manually put SR focal info.(Samyang 14/2.8 for example).

Also Olympus is restricting some things to work for premium glass only.

True, but. EVF has a lot things where it is bad. Great thing is that stablised VF. Other than that. It is so clumsy, if one is not so familiar with it. With OVF you see all the time everything as it is. You cant see shot that you just made woth EVF. With VF unless stabilisation is not at lens it is not stabilised.with both. It is nice, but also annoying. That might be the reason why there has been some sort of hybrid VF things going on. But this has nothing to do with original thread.

Yea, I’m quoting you cuz you also quoted one before, and my thoughts goes similarly..
I do believe thet IF you need it, then it is good. especially when you want that shot, with little longer exposure, and can get away with it. wether it is traffic light trails, waterfalls ect. I’v been really happy with my pentax SR and would not like to be with out. now entering above 1 second handheld territory, it is quite demanding regardles. but where Oly SRis better than Pentax is LV and movie. obviously panny 85, oly e5mii is not much better than Pentax. it must be e1m2 where difference comes. I could see that maximum of 5-10 sec timer useful in my kind of shots with cityscapes ect. but what will be lacking is DR of larger format. I’v been looking pictures of Olympus pros, because I get newsletter from oly(haven’t seen any from Pentax, even if I have been customer for longer than with Oly). and I have been keeping eye of DR. and, no. not enough. I’m travelling quite a bit and small system would be nice. So far I’m using oly mostly for my animations.

but great that Olympus is developing 5 axis stabilizer. competition is good fro Ricoh to keep on developing.

the thing what IS great with Oly, even with E5, I suppose that panny is same. when you half press the shutter, it begings to use SR(what ever is their term for it). you see the effect in VF(because of EVF). so image becomes still. even with longer lens. that to be honest is one of the biggest + from me to these cameras.but it is also needed, because EVF has naturally this little lag. so it eliminates that problem, and makes it the strenght. now, if that thing would not drain the battery, it would be nearly perfect.

there is sometimes when you can’t bring tripod along, when hand held LE is handy. But really, this even if one could take 10 sec handheld shots of lets say traffic to make it look cool, does not make tripods not needed(obsolete?). It is great to use tripod, handy when shooting longer time just in case you want to carefully compose your shot or sequense takes longer period. how ever if your target is alive(humans, pets ect.) and moves, then higher ISO is your friend at dark. If some one said that pixel sift is useless (oly also has this) for moving subjects then how about this? also if you are let’s say on the bridge and it moves when a truck drives by, then it negates tripod and makes handheld shots SR more valuable. but those things does not happen so often. I tried to make couple LE shots with my Oly E5mII and kit lens 14-42, because it is so slow. but honestly it was not much better than K-1. 2 out of 8 or 10 was good enough.

edit: this thread was about eMII so it is better obviously that older models...that was just example of my experiense with these machines.

em1ii is really good, and it should be too. But K-1 is not slouch either, if you think about sensor size. I have oly E5Mark II and it is good too, but not as good as K-1 and ISO falls in peaces after 800 just like my K-7 did. So long exposure is needed.

With 14 mm (samyang) I could do 1,5 sec and repeat it couple time with K-1 but 2 seconds was too much. Sensor is quite a bit bigger. Also their lens stabilation can be used together with lens. But they need tgat too. Because high ISO is so much lower than K-1. But I don’t think that there was cheating. Good technique helps too.
