M43 - Starter Kit - Criticism Please

Although I’m an OM user my impression is that you’ll be very happy with that setup but the G9ii isn’t that small. Both OM and Panasonic make significantly smaller bodies. I can’t advise you on Panasonic, but OM makes the OM-5ii which is beautifully small, has PDAF, and is weather sealed. I use the O

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

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

Newbie looking to start out in M43 mirrorless, veteran m43 users please give me some pointers

Weather sealing is more important than you think. Prioritize it. OM-5 (Or EM5 III) instead of EM10.

Finally forced into buying a new body, but stick with Olympus?

Well personally, I would not get an E-M10.4 simply because the autofocus is only contrast detection. You might be able to get decent results sometimes but it's a bit of a gamble. I would look towards phase detection bodies instead, which fortunately there are plenty. Some options to consider : - E-M

EM10 Mk3 - Upgrade to..?

Hi, the E-M10III is still a great camera. I personally use an E-M10II for EDC and it's still a great little body. Now, if most of your photography is travel etc, I could probably see how you could benefit for an upgrade, especially when it comes to the new capabilities of the newer sensors and proce

Beginner: How should I split my budget between camera body and lenses to be future-proof?

Okay, so first of all, it seems you are pretty set on M43 / Olympus / OM System cameras. The first thing that you need to understand is that those cameras work with processor generations, and that some generations are super close, while other provide a generational leap. For example : True Pic VIII

Overwhelmed trying to buy my first camera

Ok, little help then. Do check out 'Micro four nerds' on YT. She has made videos that touch on this. Two brands: Olympus and Panasonic. OM bought the Olympus brand but their cameras are beyond your budget. Olympus has four series for you: E-PL6/7/8/9/10 : Nice looking pocket cameras, no ´hump' on th

Should I buy Fujifilm XT30 or Olympus EM5iii?

I have both an OM-5 and a Fuji X-T5, so not the exactly the cameras that you have in mind but I can tell you what my thoughts are. The IBIS of the OM-5 is really great and should be about the same as the EM5iii one. It opens some nice creative possibilities like handheld long exposures, which I real

Should I buy Fujifilm XT30 or Olympus EM5iii?

I really love my em5iii. I shoot almost exclusively using straight out of camera jpegs, and I've been quite happy. Most of my photography is adventure based (ski touring and motorcycling and other outdoor sports) and I've been very happy with it. We also use it for kid activity photos and are very h
