Big new firmware update coming for the E-M1. Read about it here:

Several new features are potentially helpful to bird photographers. I'm especially happy that they are adding an electronic shutter mode and enhanced focus peaking. Both of those could help with digiscoping. The other very interesting feature is focus bracketing. I don't know if it will work on the fine scale needed for bird photography, but perhaps someday we can more easily get a quick series of shots that could be blended in post processing to get the whole bird in focus...
I'm very impressed with how Olympus has given me several significant firmware updates. Sometimes the new features aren't that important to me but at least they are developing the new features and rolling them out to older models. Nikon in contrast gives me almost nothing except bug fixes and support for new lenses, etc.
Olympus is the cool hip Mac guy in the commercial while Nikon is the clueless dorky PC guy... I'm only half kidding... I look at the guys in this picture and I wonder if any of these idiots use Nikon cameras or know a damn thing about photography...
