New old E-M1 mk1

My E-M1 mk1 arrived :)

It looks good.

Now I can plan for accessories; 64GB SD card(s), spare battery, carry case.

But I need to wait till I find and get a lens before I can take it out to shoot :(

First question is card speed.

This is the card I was planning to get. Is the 95MB/sec xfer rate overkill for the camera? I use this same card in my D7200.

This is a cheaper option. Slower xfer speed of 80MB/sec.

These cards will likely stay with the E-M1 and not interchange with my D7200.

What I have not been able to find out, so far, is the card interface speed, and if the camera can use the faster 95MB/sec card. Or is the slower (and cheaper) 80MB/sec card fully capable of the max that the card interface can send data.

I am not shooting video, nor plan to, just stills.

Depending on what I am shooting it will be either RAW (my default) or fine JPG.

According to the manual I get about 41 RAX pix per GB, so a 64GB card can hold about 2,600 pix, which is plenty adequate.

I may upgrade to the 20MP mk2 in the future, but that is likely a long ways off.

Panasonic 12-60 purchased and on the way :)

80MB/sec 64GB card also on the way.

I can start shooting about mid next week :D

Here's what you are looking for: Olympus E-M1 SD Card Speed Tests - Fastest memory card for EM1 - Camera Memory Speed Comparison & Performance tests for SD and CF cards

The E-M1 is limited to about 33-34MB/s write speed. Faster cards have a slight benefit nonetheless once the memory buffer is filled.

Dieter, I keep getting errors when I try to connect to the link.

I got the 80MB/sec card.

12-60 lens arrived today, so now I can start shooting :)
