First Light: E-PM1
It's my tradition to always post the very first shot from a new camera or lens no matter how bad. I have done this ever since I came to Flickr.
This is from my new E-PM1 Pen camera from Olympus. Olympus graciously provided the camera to me free of charge, and it's mine to keep, which I will mention several times when it comes time to actually review the thing, so it's clear to everyone that I was given something for nothing. I doubt it will color my opinions though.
I just opened it tonight, and as it was dark I stuck my FL-50 flash on the camera for this first shot. The camera comes with its own tiny detachable flash which I will be brave enough to test later.
You can't tell a lot from this first shot but I may not have a chance to test it in daylight for a while.
I will say it's a cute camera, very well made, with a sensor that is supposedly better than the one in my main shooter. There is no optical viewfinder so you have to hold the camera in front of you like a dead fish to take a picture, but I hope to get used to that.
I'll go into more detail when I can. I look forward to getting it out into the desert and using it in some sweet light.
