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

EM-5 iii ---> OM-5 ii = Worth the extra $365 USD it'll cost me?

The E-M5 III is based on the guts from an E-M1 II, IMX270 sensor/AF and truepic VIII processor. OM-5 II is based on the guts from an E-M1 III, IMX272 sensor/AF and truepic IX processor. As far as raw imaging performance goes, these are indistinguishable from each other for a standard shot that is in

I regret to inform you it costs $2000 for a good telephoto on M43 (an Olympus 150-600mm review)

Wow... Here I am taking shots on the EM5.3 + Oly 75-300mm and having a great time. https://www.openfilmmaker.com/olympus-om-d-e-m5-mark-iii-m-zuiko-75-300mm-f-4-8-6-7-ii-the-ultimate-travel-birding-combo/

EM-5 iii ---> OM-5 ii = Worth the extra $365 USD it'll cost me?

Thank you all for your advice, input, and tips! I followed up with the seller and learned two key things: The OM-5 II was brand new (0 shutter count vs ~45k+ on my E-M5 III) A sealed OM 14-150mm f/4-5.6 II that wasn’t mentioned in the ad was also included I already own the Panasonic 14-140 II, so I’

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

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

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

Just what were people expecting with the OM5?

I think it was just too close to the em5iii. It is. But I returned my em5.3 to get an om-5 only because of the "my menu" feature.

So who's buying an OM-5 II and why? (Surprise: Me?)

The baseplate issue is not an OMS/Olympus problem. Many other makes are also suffering broken baseplates. The common denominator is a well known clip for carrying the camera. Just remember the attachment is made to sit the camera on a tripod. Don't use it for anything else. I had an EM5iii (now give
