OM-D or E-M5? Weather seal.
Just a clarification: OM-D is the product line, a bit like Pen Digital. E-M5 is the model, like E-P1.
Also, concerning the weather sealing for the body, look at this demo:
The flash you see on the camera is also part of the standard package as it does not have a built-in flash.
Kodachrome 2010
A small documentary “Kodachrome 2010” by Xander Robin, with an interview of Dwayne’s Photo lab manager and how it came to an end.
The video was taken down on YouTube due to a copyright claim.
Robert Cohen found his last roll of Kodachrome and went to the Missouri fair to shoot it ; then drove down to Dwayne’s to get it processed, anxiously waiting to see if the film had any picture on it.
My biggest regret is to not have shot Kodachrome more often. I think that the 3 weeks turnaround in France was part of what turned me off.
Presentation of the OM-D EM-5 by Olympus
RedDotPhoto has a present of the E-M5 by Mr Terada from Olympus.
OM-D vs E-P3 with EVF
At the same time as the announcement pekkpotka has a review of the OM-D E-M5 and compare the size with the E-P3 and VF-2 viewfinder. Strikingly similar size, with the E-P3 being actually bigger with the EVF.
Also more details on the camera itself.

Techradar meet with the X-Pro1 designer
Techradar met with the X-Pro1 designer at CES 2012 in January.
Jun Sato, Fuji’s Design Manager for the X-series, revealed that the X-Pro1 was about half-way finished when he received feedback on the X100 that would allow his team to finesse the new camera.
This means that Fujifilm seems to have a long term strategy. The X-100 was a starting point and the X-Pro1 should confirm what they are capable of.
And don’t miss out Techradar hands on review.
In Focus: All-Request
The regular In-Focus from the Atlantic has a crowd-source topic this time called All Request. You ask it via twitter, you get it, if the editor finds it. He has access to a powerful database of images from press agencies ; and as a last resort, uses Flickr.
This regular In Focus has joined The Big Picture in my list of feeds a while ago.
Getting to know the face behind the photograph
Phaidon has an article about this Famous photographer portraits series I linked previously.
It all started with.
“I really missed the tactile nature of shooting large format and wanted to try a 20×24 Polaroid camera for fun and get back to something old school.”
Relationship between the photographer and his medium or tool did catalyst the start of the project.
