1. Astounding.

In the waiting room of the place where they Xray my arm there are 3 interrelated photos that have this same feel.
I don't mind going because I look forward to seeing them again.

This one needs to be blown up and framed, I keep studying the sizes and shapes and how the droplets keep their individuality.
It's wonderful with its gently color, and big congratulations on the new camera.

2. Thanks. That was a jpg with only a very light wavelet sharpening.

The out of camera jpg is as good as the RAW out of my old camera. I am pleased as punch.

What I am seeing is better the camera, the less post processing needed.

3. Cool!

Looks psychedelic, almost like a pink mushroom........;)

Have fun with the new camera!

4. Thanks. Once I get to know the camera my results should improve.

5. I've been looking long and hard at that camera

That didn't sound right. I've been considering that camera. I played with one last week. Still don't know what the real difference is between the 1 and 2 other than price. It's between the PEN 1 and a Perfekt. About the same price.

Nice photo.
:thumbsup:

6. I just got back from my first real outing. I went to the

Arboretum and snagged a few images, mostly Macro. I will be posting some before I go to bed. I am working the Polls all day tomorrow. Got to pay for the camera.

If you can swing the extra money go for the EPl2. I had four cameras in front of me, all worthy cameras, Lumix GF2, Samsung NX100, Sony NEX3 and 5, and the Olympus EPl1. Not only was it cheaper, it fit my hand better.

The EPl2 has a more compact and quieter lens than the kit lens on the EPl1. The Black EPl2 is a handsome camera.
