looks like you are having a good time with your new gear
Very much so! Like a 10 year old Christmas morning
. I've got the 80-300 2.8 pre-ordered, can't wait! (I have to roll over my Fx proceeds before they get wasted on something stupid like food or clothes).

So, did you get a chance to get down and dirty with that Oly yet, and take some of those great HDR images that we all love ?

Pffft! Food from the grocery store and clothes are highly overrated. You will just have to adapt and improvise. And if you turn out like this guy, no big deal.

Love the horror movie picture! Looks like it could definitely be a poster for Hollyweird's newest horror flick!
The steam tractor is one, but i have not had much time for shooting lately
Olympus tried very hard in the '70's and '80's to challenge Nikon and Canon in the professional market but they were too new and going up against two very well established giants in the industry. They have made some very fine cameras and optics and their microscopes are some of the finest I have every used. In that market they have no problems going up against Nikon and Leica and do quite wel
When I saw this first image at 100% all fear dwindled, and I knew I made the right decision!

Have you tried any macro yet?? I would be interested to see the sharpness.

I don't have a macro lens yet, but I do have the 80-300 2.8 pro on pre-order, That lens is capable of macro as it has a very close focus of 27 inches @ 300mm equivalent. From what I've seen it's excellent. I'm not much of a macro shooter, but I'll certainly post some shots when I get it.
I also really like the 4:3 aspect ratio. With my print sales I try to stick with traditional sizes like 8x10, 11x14 and 16x20. Cost is significantly lower to print which means higher profit margin. While the sensor is smaller, I'm cropping off much less, at least 25% less, so I'm getting more out of each pixel. Not putting down 6x9, there are times it is needed, but this makes my compositions much easier and reduces "waste". It's REALLY hard to try and crop a 6x9 image that you really like! I fill each frame now without fear of what I might have to cut off.
