Quote: A Class 10 memory card will work just fine with the OM-D. 
Although the quickest you can get, the better, as not all class 10 cards are the same - write speed is the most important thing, and you can get better performance in continuous shooting using a faster card with the OM-D.

Has anybody used these - Link
I hope to have my OMD on Tuesday, menu's to be investigated.
I've used SanDisk for years. Never had a problem with them.
Paul wondered in an earlier posting of mine if the Lensbaby wide-angle attachment would work. I shot three images of the same scene this morning, all from the same distance of approx 3ft. All shots @ f/1.8, ISO 200; 1/20 sec
Straight shot with the 45mm.
The 1.6x telephoto lens:
And finally, the 0.6x wide-angle lens:
Not had a chance to try the lensbaby adapter, should turn that 45/90 into a 45/55.
Then there's adding the close-up filters to the end of the teleconverter - I've done that with the lensbaby and gotten some really close macro images. I figure I've got the attachments, might as well see where they can take me
Do you notice the funkiness in the upper rh corner?
I've been playing with bigger birds in flight today on a short trip to Liberty's Raptor Centre at Ringwood.
My best results were with the 45 f1.8 and the larger / slower birds such as the Eagle Owl and Tawny Eagle.
The "Perlin" in flight (peregrine / merlin cross) defeated me using the 75-300, largely because I couldn't keep it in the view-finder - more practise needed! 
I'm wondering about either the 75mm f1.8 or the promised 35-100 f2.8 Panny for this purpose as I don't think I'm going to make the 75-300 perform to the standard I want for this specific purpose (I no longer have any worries about the EM5 being capable with the right lens)
Here's a couple of examples from this morning
and the best I could do with the Perlin (its about 80% of the full image)

You will find that 75mm limiting Brian, and that 35-100 will be expensive, I`ve seen rumours of $1600 when its released.
In my last pics posted, they were all shot with the OM-D of course, and the Panasonic 100-300mm. All were handheld using the S1 Stab setting. Yesterday I shot 778 pics, and walked 3 hours with the camera, and the weight, and size of the camera had no bearing on how stiff and sore I was this morning.
