    Because you have a great camera, one perfectly capable of capturing beautiful images? One that actually exists right now?

    Don't be too torn up about this - you're looking at probably a $4000 package with the base brick, plus more on top for all your cords and cabling. And if, down the road, you want to make the switch, you're in luck - these MFT bodies actually hold their value reasonably well (especially the Olympus ones).

    In the meantime, don't stress! You still have a highly capable shooter. There will always be new gear!

    Thank you, Andrew !!
     
    Great review and wonderful film clip. Enjoyed watching it ... especially as it was mostly filmed on an E-M1.
     
    I'm loving using this camera and video is a whole new world for me. I tried once before briefly with a GH3, but this IBIS on this thing makes shooting video FUN  :) I wonder what the fun factor was for you making this clip compared to making others?
     
    On a different note, is there a thread somewhere on EOSHD that shares E-M1 clips, settings and tips? I can't find anything and info seems to be fragmented. Would be nice to have it in one place.

    If shooting 30p, I'd use 1/60 (180º shutter angle equivalent) unless flickering suggests otherwise.
     
    Having said that, the only reason behind the shutter angle rule is that the footage has a natural motion blur, and by "natural" I mean what our eyes are used to seeing on the screen. A very high shutter speed (1/300) will produce a staccato effect with hardly any motion blur, desirable sometimes for aesthetic reasons (remember Saving Private Ryan?). A very low shutter angle (1/30) will produce a very "creamy" image with too much motion blur, almost ghosting (moslty undesirable).
     
    Between 1/50 and 1/60 at 30fps there won't be a great difference...
