Is Panasonic H-FS45150K able fully use all potential with Oly OM-D E-M5 body or it is bad idea at all?

Olympus bodies have built in image stabilization, and so does this lens. That is not a problem, and in my opinion, the lens is better than the Olympus 40-150, if only because it is significantly smaller and lighter. Conclusion: Not a bad idea at all.

I had the same problem. Called panasonic and they said they didn't know the answer. Do I returned it. Worst product yet by Panasonic

I'm assuming "no" because there is nothing in the product booklet addressing that feature. I wouldn't be willing to try it out either! If you go to the Panasonic product website you can look up the description and specifications for any model they sell.

While I cannot answer this with a full assurance, I am fairly confident that the OMD EM5 has the same electronics as do the E520, which I had. So, I would think it would fully support the OMD EM5.

Hi Annessa, even if I knew the answer I would say you should confirm with Panasonic just to be 100% safe. Because there are many buttons on this housing and you should be sure that they will all works - even if the camera just "fits." Otherwise, if they confirm that it fits, then I highly suggest this camera will work well for you for pictures, but in my experience the video mode will quickly drain the battery especially in cold conditions - but for pictures its a very good housing.

It should be possible it seems (I have only Panasonic bodies, so I haven't tested it):http://www.four-thirds.org/en/special/download.html

I can help you. Bought the 1500 back in June. Worked great until the Bond movies came out. Bought FYEO and it wouldn't play. Got the new 2.0 firmware update from Samsung. Installed that with no problems. But after the update I couldn't play ANY blu movie. Sent the machine to Samsung to get fixed. Said they would have a new firmware update to resolve the problem but couldn't tell me when that would take place. So I had lost patience (over 1 month w/out being able to play blu on 1500). I bought the bd35. Not one single problem. Played the Bond movie with no problems. Samsung released 2.1 firmware to resolve problems with 2.0 firmware. Didn't work. So the morale of my story is that Samsung customer service is HORRIBLE! Go with the Panasonic. You won't regret it.

I agree, I think it will work. BUT, to be sure, go to panasonic.com/help & ask them... VERY helpful folks!!!

I have an E-M5 and E-P2 and it works with both. The limitation on the E-M5 is that when you're using the camera flash to remotely slave the 44-AF it can only be used on Channel "A". I believe you need to do a firmware update on it when you get it to fix a few bugs regarding the E-M5 as well. Not a big deal, you can download the firmware update software from the Metz website and update the flash with a USB cable.

Yes of course, it also have in-body stabilization, so no problem with a m43 zoom (I have it and it's fantastic). Nevertheless, have a look at this first review, comparing real result with OMD-5. Looking the results, maybe you can rethink what to buy, specially now that OMD is for sale.http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr18=daylight&attr13;_0=panasonic_dmcgx7&attr13;_1=oly_em5&attr;15_0=jpeg&attr15;_1=jpeg&attr16;_0=200&attr;16_1=200&normalization;=full&widget;=7&x;=0.1804539138490041&y;=0.1535367545076283

My Panasonic is the HDC-SD40. It works just fine in this model. The battery that came with it was the VW-VBK180. Hope this helps. MM

Hey Josh, I bought this for my Panasonic ( actually, my wife did) just on a guess and it worked just fine though, it was a scosh smaller then the original. Most likely it will work fine.

I'm not sure, but I have used it on my E-3 and my PL-2. The flash has a through the lens option on the back, is powerful, and I would be surprised if it didn't for on your OMD-EM5!

Don't know the answer to your question., but you should be able to find the manual and mechanical specs on Panasonic's website.

I purchased this phone because Panasonic said it was what was compatible with the 2 phone set I already owned. It works very very well!! I would say "go for it" if it is the model you need!

It will work ... mostly. If you use OOC jpegs instead of RAW, it will not correct for chromatic aberrations (color fringing along edges), unlike on a Panasonic body. If you shoot RAW, then it's not an issue.

I suggest you to check your manual or you can download.it from Panasonic.com
