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

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

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.

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

Lumix GX9 vs Fujifilm X-E4
Both are great cameras, and the autofocus on either is perfectly usable. That said, it’s not on the level of more modern systems, or even Sony’s APS-C cameras from the same era like the A6300. Ultimately, the decision should come down to the lenses you plan to use, because that will have a big impac

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
