One shot in the parking lot; I'm sold

Something tells me you'd love a Pen-F. But they're over priced for what they are, because they're beautiful. This YouTube video might help you get an overview of the line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-iAWmhM6Zw. Summary: * Pen-F (beautiful, capable, but a little aged, and still expensive used)

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

Wanting a lighter, smaller camera that's still good. I've had an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II with Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f1.8 lens for 11 years.

maybe you would be interested in the E M5 iii which is the first one in the line made of largely polycarbonate. the om-5 and om-5 ii are also polycarbonate and a similar weight to the E M5 iii. im struggling to think of anything else smaller, lighter AND weather sealed. you might be interested in so

Price of used OM-1 MK I 's are absurdly low / great bargain. Theories?

OM systems did absolutely shoot themselves in the foot by re-using old camera names that are still traded frequently in used spaces. This creates a lot of pointless confusion. Keep in mind that the OM-1, being a full-grip pro-body that appeals to more serious photographers who are expected to use he

Should I stick with Micro Four Thirds or switch systems? (Currently using Olympus OM-D E-M5)

Full frame is better for low light moving targets. That said, that is exactly what I shoot: indoor sports. I found the 40-150 f2.8 lens affordable and absolutely fantastic. In addition you need a phase-detect autofocus camera. The EM5.III and higher (OM5 is the next in line), or the M1.II and higher

OM-5 cheaper than E-M5III?

No idea why the price would be less given same condition/shutter count. But go for the OM-5. Might as well have a newer camera with newer processor and more features (Hand held high res, LiveND, starry sky AF, supposedly improved IBIS). The fact that OM released an om-5 mark ii without resolving the

Protection against water and dust

Hi, I work in an IP rating testing lab. IPX1 is laughable, but the reason it's rated like this is most likely only because they didn't bother with a higher tier certification. IP testing is long and expensive. You don't test the product until it fails, you just test what the manufacturer told you to

Just what were people expecting with the OM5?

I think it was just too close to the em5iii. It’s a really good camera. I’m looking forward to the om-5ii. I prefer that form factor, and I don’t need the latest sensor. I do hope they include animal detect and maybe the graduated ND filters.

Anyone else think the OM-5 II might be "sandbagging" a bit?

The processor may be the same generation (shared by the EM-1 iii, E-M5 iii, and OM -5) , but there are firmware upgrades that add features. That is also true when comparing the OM-5 with the OM-5 ii. And while the E-M1 iii has a lot of features that the OM-5 ii lacks, the OM-5 ii does have some extr

Canon M6 Mark II - worth it?

Yeah, don't buy this. This was an issue the E-M5 III from Olympus (and it's OM successors) were famous for. This looks like a particularly severe example, there are cracks going up both sides of the camera. Depending on the construction of the camera the effect of the damage could vary, but this loo
