Iceland. The land of Fire and Ice. Every photographer's bucket list location. How could you not be excited to go? I definitely was. I was going with my buddies Richard and Mark. We were flying over and camping for a week in a trip that encompassed the whole island. This meant spreading the equipment load and bringing only the most essential equipment. Weight was definitely an issue.
At the time I was using Canon and even with just a few lenses I was well overweight. Something had to give. It was time for a travel camera. I hummed and hawed. Fujifilm seemed like a great idea, the image quality was great, but there were focus issues. One of my portrait photographer heroes had started using Olympus, so I bought an E-M5. It was feature packed and very compact. It fit the bill.
