OM-1

OM isn't 'the poorest system' for landscapes. That's a narrow mindset of the uninformed (usually FF shooters who've never used M43 and go by specs). It's extremely difficult to tell the difference between 11 or 12 stops in a print (for example). The difference is more in the operator than the gear.

My simple answer is* you can buy better cameras, but in for the things m43 is particularly good at - only for more money* m43 works really well for most things, but other systems work better for some* m43 weakest points vs full frame cameras are high-iso noise and dynamic range – but it is still perfe

Four thirds - I shoot most sensor formats all the way up to a GFX100S. The color from my ancient E500 with a Kodak CCD is very pleasing to my eyes, and the lenses are spectacular - and cheap. Resolution is fine for sharing online and making small prints. The spiked my curiosity - I really like the c

Few factors : - Lumix has always been a bit of a video-centric brand, ever since the GH1 released. Most of why peop[le bought Lumix cameras for was very often the excellent video specs compared to the price point, and not really their photo capabilities (which are still good) - Olympus has a HUGE ba

The 12-100 is a superb lens which really has no weaknesses, except that it is a largeish lens for the MFT system. I love mine, and it is my go-to lens in most situations. My go bag has two bodies: an OM-1 with the 300 f/4 PRO and an OM-1 II with the 12-100.

As someone who's had a camera in their hand for more than 35 years, I like that OM has a very nice simple selection of bodies and a rather amazing array of lenses. I've owned Minolta, Kodak, Pentax, Fuj, Sony, Canon, Leica, Nikon, Panasonic and Olympus. Even with bigger bodies like the OM-1 the m43

I shoot for a living and I use M43. Not sure I would use the word pro, but I do this full time with three OM System OM1's and I haven't gotten any complaints. I've never felt like I've needed anything more. I have gotten a few raised eyebrows from other photographers when they see my set up. To my s

Thanks for confirming. This MkII is really what the original OM-5 should have been. Updated menus and USB-C. Slightly different body. I don't mind the plastic as I have an existing OM-5 Mk I and it's fine for me. I don't do a lot of tri-pod or capture clip use, though I do have that installed along

Recent releases from OM Systems have been concerning, I think. However, you seem excessively pessimistic. Why do you say Panasonic has given up..? They are a large company, with enough resources to pursue both FF and m43. Their recent G9ii release was widely praised. As for OM: when Olympus was sold

Sure - buy a Sony A7C or A7CR. You'll pay out your nose for the camera and for lenses. FWIW I shoot everything from M43 (E-P7, OM-1.ii) to Medium Format (GFX100S) - in addition to FF and APS-C cameras. Larger sensors have an advantage - I'm not a fan of APS-C because it seems most manufactures inves
