OM-1

I truly hope—pray, even—that OM System’s next release won’t just be another rehash like the OM-1 Mark II. That camera, while fine on paper, was essentially a software update sold at full price, and it left many of us deeply disillusioned. I’m starting to lose hope in the brand. I’ve been using the E

Om1 mark 1, $960 from om systems refurbished on ebay, then get a Panasonic 100-300mm. You get a portable, great bang for the buck system for wildlife (with weather sealing)

I would look into acquiring on OM System OM1 mk1, either new or used. It should be way cheaper than an OM3 and has better build quality. Check the stats and compare with what you need. If you like the OM m43 ecosystem, you can't go wrong with at least exploring this option. I got mine about 3 years

I personally don't really care what APSC or Full Frame is up to, they'll always feel lackluster to me in terms of tech. I love my Micro Four Thirds cameras, all of them. The OM-1 Mark II, OM-3, and OM-5 Mark II, and until any other manufacture makes a camera with half as much computational tech as a

Ok, I don't have vast experience, but here's how I see it. It's gonna be a bit of a wall of text, sorry. Question: Do you care about low light and/or shallow depth of field? If yes, you might want to look into lighter alternatives for your camera. Shooting at f1.2 M43 would behave similarly to f2.5

I’ve had Fuji, Sony FF, APSC as well as Olympus/om cameras which I currently use. For me I really enjoy the lighter weight, ergonomics, ruggedness of OM and the quality of the output is completely acceptable for what I do with the cameras. The downside of m43 being MUCH less actively developed in th

I'll start this off by clarifying I only have experience with Sony & Olympus / OM systems. I've tried to use the Sony A6700 and the Sony 90mm for handheld insect macro photography and eventually gave up. The sensor readout time and buffer were too slow for my style of photography. I ended up going w

I think there is a perception problem with m43 that is unfortunately fueled in part by the m43 maker marketing. I say this as a mft user for the past four years that is now looking for alternatives elsewhere. There are many reasons why users come to or look at m43. My reasons were size, affordabilit

I think you confuse "camera" dimension with "system" dimensions.With the body you are limited by the human hand , usable screen size, system flange distance, and usable battery size. Then bulk up the rest with features like processor units, IBIS,..etc Which also gives more real estate for physical b

The thing is, I don't think history can tell us much. Mirrorless cameras developed so quickly and made huge leaps between 2008 and 2020. But the technology, as with smartphones, is hitting a stable ceiling where the improvements are incremental, though welcome. But the point is that they don't need
