I'm considering the Canon 6D for portraits, but the OMD EM1 has really captured my interest. Would this camera do the job for portraits?

Hi. It, it is that you go as a full-size, and are you okay with Micro Four Thirds. Take a look at the Photo-photo on the home page of Olympus. You'll think it may not be a full size anymore. Lightness and ease of use of the camera, not losing image quality. My store will sell in the lowest price. Please consider all means.

I have a pl3 and lenses for it. I assumed they would work just as well with the e-m1. Do I really need a mmf-3 adaptor as one reviewer implied?

I assume you are referring to the Olympus E-PL3. If that is the camera you have, then you have m43 lenses. The e-m1 is also a m43 system. There is some confusion between m43 and 43 systems so I will try to clear it up a little. The 4/3 system and m43 system use exactly the same sensor size. However, the 4/3 system was a DSLR system which had a mirror box. This put the flange distance about 3/4" further away than the m4/3 system. So while m43 and 4/3 have the same size imaging circle, the 4/3 system focuses about 3/4" further behind the flange than the m4/3 does. Therefore, to use 4/3 lenses on a m4/3 camera you need an adaptor which gives you that 3/4" back. Also, 4/3 lenses use phase detect auto focus while m4/3 use contrast. So except for the EM1, 4/3 lenses focus much slower than m43 lenses. 4/3 lenses tend to be quite a bit larger than their m4/3 cousins.If you used your lenses on an E-PL3 without and adaptor, the will work on the E-M1 without an adaptor.

Do I need an dapter to use Lumix Micro 4/3 l;enses?

Greetings,The beauty of the Micro 4/3 is that is compatible with any brand that has Micro 4/3 mounts without having to use an adapter. For example with the E-M1 you can use Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3 Lenses, Sigma for Micro 4/3s and even leica for Micro 4/3s. Hope this help.Best,Gala H and B Digital Team

I have seen reports of sunlight harming the EFV by causing green streaking and spots on the EVF. Has this been a problem for current owners?

I own an Olympus omd em5 mkII and it has many of those spots on the EVF... it's a great camera and my work around right now is to use peaking to make sure I'm in focus because of those spots covering most of the EVF I too read that it also affected the omd em1 but I just purchased one yesterday. I think it does not happen to every single camera. So, the best way to prevent this from happening is to no let the viewfinder get direct sunlight. I heard many people would put some sort of covering over there lens but that would seem to me to just be a bother... Also I didn't buy a new omd em1 because buying used I know that it hasn't happened to the camera I purchased so I felt it would not happen now.
