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

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

Upgrading from EM-5 mk II - How big is the difference between OM-5 and OM-3 really?

You are a birder - just get the OM-3 or OM-1, as it has subject detection autofocus and a faster sensor the autofocus performance of the OM5 isn't much better than the EM5 mk III. (Still better than the mk ii, but the OM1 and OM3 are a significant upgrade). Having owned the OM1 and EM5ii, I think th

Weather sealed alternative to my GX85?

E-M5 III, OM-5 on the olympus side for something similarly sized but pricier G85 on the Lumix/Panasonic side; similar price but bulkier. https://camerasize.com/compact/#673,835,689,ha,f

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

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.

Looking to upgrade: oM-5 Mark II or something else

I do not believe in "future proofing" tech purchases. That allows people to upsell you to something you don't actually need by triggering your fear of being left behind, or making a wrong decision. My motto is only buy what you need today. Because if you need more next year, you can sell what you ha

Am I crazy to sell my Sony a7Sii and Canon L series 24-70mm II set up for M43?

Not bad in low light, the drop depends on camera age. I have owned em5, em5iii, g9, S5, g9ii. Sold the s5 and got a g100 while I get another full frame. Still not sure if to stay on L mount or if to shift to nikon. Both of them clip highlights if you are not careful. What you will see is worse shado
