![]() ![]() Personally, I’m more excited about the new lenses than I am about the new camera. The black lenses won’t ship until later this year - the 17mm this fall, and the 45mm and 75mm on June 14. What it’s missing when compared to the E-M5 is a built-in viewfinder and weather sealing.Īlso, Olympus released a few new/updated lenses: the 17mm f/1.8 (which just so happens to be the E-P5’s kit lens), and then the well-known 45mm f/1.8 and 75mm f/1.8 now come in black. In a nut, what’s great about the E-P5 is that: (a) it has the same incredible image sensor as the E-M5 and E-PL5 (b) it has the same 5-axis in-body image stabilization as the E-M5 and (c) it looks absolutely stunning. The E-P5 is the big brother to the camera I own, the E-PL5, and it rivals Olympus’ flagship, the E-M5. The mirrorless market is just exploding right now. ![]() I’m personally very glad that I’m not entering the mirrorless market now, or upgrading from one of the 12MP bodies - all I can say is good luck choosing! Olympus just announced their new camera today, the E-P5, and Ming Thein has a nice hands-on preview post about it with some sample shots from the camera. But I imagine the internal dialog was something along the lines of: “Maybe this will work, maybe it won’t. Though I wasn’t there when Marco decided to make The Magazine, nor when Gruber decided to start selling RSS sponsorships instead of a membership, nor when so many other folks took a leap to try something new. I can think of two other excellent examples of experimentation that made a way for revenue: John Gruber’s wild idea of an RSS ad sponsorship, and Marco’s wild idea of a very simple, very classy digital magazine.Īt the end of the day we all just want to pay our bills, feed our families, put our kids through college, and keep the office lights on so we can keep on making things. For me, my daily podcast ended up being an excellent members-only perk for when I took the site full time, and as I look at the shows I’ve done over the past 2 years and the feedback I’ve received from listeners, I mean it when I say the show has become one of my favorite things where I see a lot of my best work manifesting. It’s an iterative and ugly process.Īs an indie writer, I’ve always put a lot of emphasis on the determination aspect - show up every day - but very little emphasis on the experimentation aspect. Which parallels something Merlin Mann said in his interview on CMD+SPACE a while back: “As long as you keep putting out interesting stuff, you’ll keep discovering interesting stuff to put out. All there is is experimentation, determination, and a whole lot of blind hope. The largest and most-significant slice being the monthly membership to this site, but the rest of the pie is a combination of advertising and affiliate links.Īt the end of the show, Bob Garfield concludes with this line: The business examples were all with big-name media networks and websites, but the struggles they’re facing are no different than what guys like you and me are facing: how do we keep the lights on so we can keep making awesome stuff for our best fans?įor me, it’s a conglomerate of all sorts of things. The six different segments cover streaming services, subscription business models, ads and ad blockers, and direct support from readers. The show was dedicated to “the incredible volume of media available to consumers, and the incredible difficulty of making money for creators.” I especially enjoyed this week’s episode of On The Media if only because it hit very close to home. ![]()
