OM-D E-M10 Mark IV

can't go wrong with the em10 series as a beginner, it's literally what it's meant for. As a beginner you probably won't be shooting super fast sports or jittery birds ( at least right away ) so CDAF with AFS is more than enough for static or semi-static subjects. That being said, I'm very biased tow

That is so disappointing. You have a new (to you) camera and it is failing at its most basic task. The Olympus line split into two customers: Average consumers or beginning photographers Serious amateurs and professionals For the serious photographers who depended on their equipment, there were the

That of course will be a matter of opinion. But the general trend in the last 5 years has been away from the classic M43 compact style and toward bigger bodies with more capable sensors, cpus, and batteries. There are two that I can think of currently in production, and then I can think of two more

why do you want a 'beginner friendly' camera? In my opinion , that's just vendor-speak for 'cheap' because they're lacking in features/capability. If you're really interested in photography its better to go for a used/older but more feature rich mid-range or "prosumer" camera than a brand new but ex

If you’re ready to move beyond smartphone photography and take more control over your images, a mirrorless camera is the best place to start. These cameras offer outstanding image quality, fast performance, and more creative flexibility in a compact, travel-friendly design.

In the USA right now, the Lumix G97 kit with 12-60 kit lens costs less than the EM10-IV kit with its pancake lens. This may vary by country, of course. The G97 is, I think, a far better camera than the EM10, although it is also larger and heavier. I had an EM10-IV briefly and returned it. Tiny, flim

If you are talking about buying new, then there are only three M43 bodies currently in production that fits the bill. The OM-5 ii. Great, size, build, and features. Lumix G100D - good size, but lacks IBIS, if that matters to you The OM-3 - noticeably bigger and heavier than the others, but still sma

As someone that owns and M5iii and an OM-1 I'll say I think it definitely is worth owning still just with a few caveats. It obviously falls a little short of continuous AF performance of newer cameras but it still does ok for CAF on people as long as it isn't sports or really young kids running like

Your setup is weather sealed, you should be fine. Just keep the lens on at all times unless in a controlled environment or clear weather. Your oldest's lens is weather sealed, but their camera is not, so it won't matter that the lens is sealed. I don't know how rainy this rainy season is, but if it'
