It's M43 Monday! Ask Us Anything about Micro Four-Thirds Photography - all questions welcome!

Welcome to the world of M4/3 cameras. In my case long time user and contributor to DPReview forums, just starting here as I basically do not like the recent changes to the DPR forum. I need another outlet for my thoughts. Not abandoning DPR, just visiting there less. Firstly "the Pana/Oly thing" may

New mirrorless camera for street photography advice ?

I'd consider one of the M43 bodies, maybe one of the smaller older ones, and a small prime, like a Panasonic 20mm 1.7. Like the Olympus E-P5.

Just converted to M43.

I got into M43 via the Panasonic G85, which remains one of the best photography values out there. I've owned the G9ii since it launched. Love it. It's been my workhorse, but I also own a number of tiny M43 bodies for run-and-gun work... the Lumix GM5 and the Olympus E-P5. One piece of advice: as the

Considering cheap mft body as a compact camera, does this make any sense?

With a bit of luck you may find an Olympus E-P5 for under $200. I paired mine with a Panasonic 12-32mm and Olympus 40-140mm f4-5.6 for street photography. It’s a great combo.

Ricoh to EM1 - Lens IQ & Video

I've been shooting Olympus for a long time, my 'main body' has been a E-M1 mk2, I just upgraded to an OM-1 by selling my GRIII. I came to the GRIII through a path of other cameras, first was a Oly E-PM2 + 14mm f2.5. I used this as my walking around/biking/travel camera. At some point I grabbed an Fu

Fantastic Visit

I used an Olympus E-P5 with a DJI 15mm lens. It's 13 years old but still amazing to shoot with. The ones from on the boat were taken with a compact Olympus TG-5. It's waterproof 🙂.

Is it dumb to replace my S5II for a lighter travel camera?

Was thinking this exactly. m43 is perfect for travel. I've gotten amazing shots with my Panasonic G85 (amazing deals on these... and it's weather-sealed!) and the Olympus E-P5 (I'm a sucker for its looks).

Alternative to Fujifilm x100v?

Fujis are the the only cameras that give bona fide film emulation in camera, but only Fuji films, and only really with color. You'll need to use post to get film like with alternatives, but that's easily done with any digital camera. The early X100's are the obvious choice, or if you can go a bit bi

Should I upgrade my gx1 to gx85/ gx9 solely for instagram post in 2025?

Honestly, if the only thing bothering you about the GX1 is the lack of IBIS, then maybe go for a GX85? It's a cheaper camera than both the GX8 and GX9, has great IBIS and is even slightly smaller than the GX9. It has the newer AF found in the GX8/9, 5 axis IBIS, nice touch screen interface and decen

Is Fujifilm x100vi still worth 2k? I’m looking for a simple but good family photo camera

Depends on what your priorities are. These days you spend a LOT and sacrifice features for size. Fun fact: the 500D weighs 520g, the X100vi 521g. An EF 28mm f2.8 weighs 186g, so that's the extra weight difference, less so with some smaller primes like the 40mm at 130g. Maybe get something like the o
