TIL two weeks after being appointed CEO of Olympus, Michael Christopher Woodford blew the whistle on Olympus after he was fired for repeatedly questioning suspicious transactions and involving external auditors, exposing one of the biggest "loss-hiding arrangements in Japanese corporate history".

I have owned a camera from almost every system being produced but I always find myself drawn back to Olympus M43 cameras. I have a Fujifilm XH2S but I seem to prefer my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, to the point that I'm seriously considering selling my Fuji kit to get an OM-1. It's so sad how Olympus

Z5II owner bashes Leica community indirectly

honestly i agree with him, got an Olympus omd em5 mk2 recently and like its a cool camera but holding it is a bitch, like there's a reason we moved away from the stamped camera form factor

Looking for super compact digital (think Ricoh GR), with interchangeable lenses, but most importantly weather sealed, any suggestions?

That camera doesn't exist. Pick one, maybe even two - interchangeable lens / weather sealed / pocketable. Every one of these will have some trade offs Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III / OM-5OM System TG-7Canon G1 X Mark III

How do you carry your camera on long hikes/walks?

My Olympus EM5 Mk III with the small 12-45mm F4 completely cracked at the base of the body, fell off the clip, and cracked the lens. Both camera and lens were toast. I did some more research and found that I was far from the only person to experience this. All of that being said, the PD clip is bull

15 year old photographer, just made the jump from A7IV to M10. Any tips?

I’m 20 fuckin 6 and shoot an almost 10 year old Olympus. But I’m happy shooting Oly because it has been my dream system since I was 13 and they’re just all around good cameras. I’ll have money for Big White and an E-M5 Ti one of these days.

In 2025, what would be the best travel camera?

Used Olympus OMD EM5 or EM10 series cameras. Check them out and see what you think. I travel a lot and have taken these cameras all over the world and they do me solid.

First leaked image of the new OM-5II

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

What lens are you choosing for edc: DJI/PL 15mm, Oly 17mm, or PL 20mm… and why?

On my Panasonic bodies, the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 is one of my favorite lenses on either m43 or e mount. On my Olympus body probably the 17mm. Why? Because the 20mm is slow AF on my e-m5 iii.

My First impression of the Pen F as a GX85 user.

eeeh not sure about that. The Pen-F was released 10 years ago, not sure this was a marketing ploy to force you buying a camera they would release 9 years later. If anything they simply saw the Pen-F as a casual camera that would turn into a collectible (the marketing back in 2016 heavily played on h

OM Systems welcomes new Chinese M43 brand: Songdian

Might also push the price of older cameras down. I'm not particularly keen on getting one of these entry level cameras, but I'd love to replace my E-M1 Mk1 with a newer Olympus body, they're not coming down in price at all though. An E-M1 Mk2 or E-M5 Mk2 costs basically the same as it did 5 years ag
