Are there landscape photographers here using m43?

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.

I've been researching cameras & lenses for weeks and have narrowed my final choice down to Olympus or Sony, but I can't decide between them. What should I do?

Inevitability the conversation will come around to (be dominated by) the eternally boring M43 vs FF sensor. This is the wrong path to go down for you, IMO. There are as many advantages to M43 as there are for FF and ditto disadvantages. Firstly I'm going to quote your specific genres that you shoot

Low quality scans or am I just bad at this?

Depends what the problem is that you’re seeing, they look pretty good to me from here but that’s with reddit compression. If you’re pixel peeping then yeah, most scans aren’t going to be sharp enough; I’ve had the same roll scanned with 4 different scanners/cameras and the sharpest result I had was

Just what do I give up when I go to APS-C in low light?

Pro wedding shooter here. My weddings are on full frame Sony's (A7r4 and A9ii). My personal stuff I carry a Fuji x-e5. I've shot low light ceremonies where I cannot use flash on the Sony's and I've shot low light on the x-e5 such as Thanksgiving. With really bad light, both crop and full frame look

If dlux is a Panasonic then is M11 a Sony with no autofocus

I asked myself the same question. Eyesight issues forced me to stop shooting with my M9, after five decades shooting Leica I just cannot do the rangefinder thing any longer. I considered the M EV1 but figured the Sony A7Riv has the same sensor at a fraction of the price. So I am selling the M9 and f

DSLR or Mirrorless? What Camera Are You Using and Why?

I started shooting back in 1999, long before mirrorless was a thing. My roots were in Canon SLRs and later high-end DSLRs, and I shot pretty much everything over the years. Sports, landscapes, portraits, studio work. I was using serious bodies at the time like the Canon EOS 3 and later EOS-1D, 5D se

Excess megapixels?

It depends on what you are going to be shooting. It is disappointing how many people show up to this discussion, though, and pretend that cropping doesn't exist or isn't useful. I shoot a Sony a7r4, which is 61 MP. Having all those MP has been a huge benefit to me on many occasions. - sometimes, my

Sea Frogs housing worth it?

Have had mine for years. Scuba and freediving. No leaks no issues. Sony a7rIv. As many people have said, keep it clean and check your seals etc and ive found them great. My only issue is they are decently buoyant without having strobes etc on there

Convince me to keep my GM1

Well, AFAIK they have a decent resale value so if you're not using it you might as well move on from it. There's two main reasons I fell in love with the smallest M4/3 body options and why I still have two of them tho (GM1 & GX850 but I prefer the latter): A) they're good bodies to take to concerts
