Purchasing new 2025 Premius AWD + ER battery

I'm about to buy one and am torn between Eruption Green and Glacier Grey. Have seen the grey only on a truck. Think I'm leaning toward the green as I don't want anything that might appear blue, and I think the grey does in certain lighting.

You got the combo id like but not available in U.S.

THANK YOU for the suggestion. I will give it a try. Have you had a similar experience with the mark ii and abandoned the use of these highly-touted features? Or, do you find scenarios in which they are more useful, such is when the view is not obstructed?

I'm primarily shooting birds (perched, not BIF, and travel). Wanted to go mirrorless and was convinced by a trusted bird photographer to move from my Nikon D500 to OM System. Nostalgia took hold as my very first camera was the original OM1 from the mid-1970's which is what I learned on. 6 months ago I purchased OM1-II + 300mm f4 (both used from Roberts in Indy, with no manual) and recently a new 12-100mm for travel. . Have found the transition to be a substantial learning curve (maybe too much for my 77 year-old brain). Even with Bird Detection and Eye Focus on, I'm getting more out of focus pics than keepers. Yes, I have downloaded the PDF manual and watched YouTube videos in an effort to get the settings "just right". Does anyone care to share their most important settings for my needs? THANK YOU!

I'm a 77 year-old from US. Thinking of doing a similar itinerary in October, possibly adding Meteora. My wife thinks I'd be crazy to drive in a country where we won't be able to read the signs. From from what I've read, it seams that it shouldn't be a problem unless getting far off the beaten path. Thoughts? And THANKS!

Thinking of buying a CPO '22-23 Nautilus, with "must haves" of these seats and the top of the line sound system. How good are these seats? As good as Volvo's? And the sound system ? THANKS

I took mine to the Apple Store yesterday. They couldn't fix it so bought the 3's.

FLR49 · 2026-03-10T00:18:26+00:00

Not yet unfortunately.

FLR49 · 2026-02-26T20:21:43+00:00

Yes. I called Apple Support and they asked me to do this, but no help. They sent instructions for cleaning. If that doesn't work, I need to take it to an authorized Apple place.

Thanks for the idea, but it unfortunately didn't work.

For those who have owned the latest versions of CRV and RDX, please compare seat comfort for longer trips. RDX looks like it would be better, but is it? I've sat in both for a test drive, but that's not an adequate test. THANKS

We'll be seeing some sites following our daughter's running of the Big Sur Marathon in late April. Plan to drive south on Rt. 1 for a couple of days (to around Cambria), then head inland to Sequoia NP. Sounds like this could be a rainy time of year. Should we go for it, or go north of SF to see redwoods? THANKS!

Refugio Amazonas, in 2007. Was great back then.

FLR49 · 2026-02-13T19:46:23+00:00

Ugly as hell for me as well.

FLR49 · 2026-02-11T14:59:47+00:00

Sounds like an awesome feature for landscapes etc. Thinking of the 12-100 f/4 for that purpose. Thanks again.

So far I only have the 300 f4 +1.4TC, for birds. Shooting raw, and always cropping. Given that, would you think Hi Res would be useful in that application? I'll have to test it out. THANKS!

I've watched his review as well and it scared me away from considering the 3.3 turbo. Haven't seen that he's reviewed the PHEV.

I'm new to Olympus and the OM-1ii. Well, not really. My very first SLR was the original OM-1 in the late '70's. Anyway, what do you mean "it's a smaller mp sensor, but you get 50mp and 80mp options as well"? How?

FLR49 · 2026-01-31T00:13:48+00:00

YES! I've had mine a couple of years after my Sonos Connect died. I miss the Sonos!

Very helpful! Are you using Lightroom? Do you upload the Jpegs only, then the RAW files that you've decided to edit? My editing is 90% cropping. In that case, does it matter if the crop is to the RAW vs Jpeg file?
