-find out what's the point of a bulb feature with a camera without remote. Try the live bulb. Compare if any impact on noise.

-Figure out the "keep warm colors" Auto WB setting wrt previous generation cameras.

-EXTREMELY cool live view highlight and shadow flashing (blue & red).

-the direct tone curve control seem to work in RAW too. Have to check that.

-FAST, FAST, FAST kit lens.

The wired remote for the E-30 works fine on the E-M5, it's just the wireless remote that it doesn't support.



I'm not sure about the keep warm colors compared to the previous camera, but I prefer it turned off. I wonder if the default setting is to meet the expectations of people coming from point and shoots that tend to mess up white balance indoors. I am finding the auto WB much better with this camera than any I've used in the past.



I agree with the live view highlight and shadow flashing. Definitely one of my favorite new features.



I just got back from vacation in Spain and used the tone curse control several times. I wasn't sure if it would affect the RAW or not either, but I haven't had a chance to look at the photos yet as my HD is too full to load the photos. If it does affect the RAW, do you think the results would be better than messing with default capture in post processing?



The kit lens is impressively fast. I shot mainly with it during my recent trip. I'm not sure I'd say it's a great lens, but I like it a lot for it's flexibility. It's most noticeable failing so far IMO is that it doesn't handle flare well. (strong reduction in contrast)
