OM-1

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

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

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)

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

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

Every format is a combination of trade offs. For example, you won’t find a bright standard zoom the size of Panasonic 12-35mm in any system. On the other hand, if you’re OK with f/2.8 on Micro 4/3, then an f/4 zoom on a full frame camera should be more than perfectly acceptable. A Nikon Z5 (or Z5 II
