Well decided to buy the Olympus for Landscape and Portrait photography although the latter has always been the most difficult part for me but with time and practice hope to get better. Some initial impressions are it's a solid camera, very well built. The menu options are overwhelming for me right now since I haven't touched an SLR for so many years but Dpreview had some recommended settings that I've applied. The auto WB is just a little to warm to my liking had to go into settings and shut off warm color on, also the in camera default settings seem to me to go overboard particularly sharpening. I'd appreciate any tips from those that are using the camera or have used it. I bought it with the kit lens the 12-50mm and so far haven't been very impressed with it particularly indoors but I do like that fact that it has macro capability so i'll probably keep it for now. I have seen some great photos from it at the "other" forum so it's probably me not the lens...lol
Eventually I'd like to get an all around prime lens not sure if I should go with the Oly 17 1.8 or the Oly 25 1.8, which would you suggest ? I plan to keep the Sony RX 100 because it's such a great little camera and I've really gotten comfortable using it but I'm excited about the versatility of the Olympus. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
