What is the difference between an OM-1 and say an entry level Lumix full frame s5 ii camera?

At equal light gathering for a given FOV, lens sizes will be pretty similar, with a slight weight/size advantage to crop sensors. FF has more large lens options that gather more light for a given FOV. M43 has more compact lens options that gather less light for a given FOV. ------------ When systems

In love with my Fujifilm X-Pro 2

The X-Pro2 is one of my "special" cameras. Most cameras, I could use them and love them, but if you present me the upgraded model, I probably wouldn't have any problems when it comes to switching to the newer model. Like, I used to use an X-T2 + X-H1 for event photography. Change them for an X-T3 +

Looks like OM had some ambassadors debunk sensor myths!

most of these points are kinda weird, like you are making compromises on some aspects and gaining benefits on some others, that is how different gear work, so you can say the compromises are worth it for you but totally dismissing them isn't the way. like looking at the points, low light, resolution

Please share your First impression of OM-1 Mark-ii

I have recently shot with top level Nikon (Z9, Z8, Z6III) and Sony (A1, A9II, A7SIII). I was a professional motorsports photographer and my primary weekend kit was 2 Z9's and 2 Z6III's (depending on how much video the client wanted vs photos, more video was Z6III's, more photos or bad weather, Z9's)

Best Camera Brand for beginner nature photographer?

For wildlife, the best (almost) no caveat systems would be OM System or Sony. Some of the most important features for me would be a stacked sensor with decent buffer, pre-capture, and blackout free shooting (which is essential for birds in flight). Canon freezes up when the buffer is full, Nikon lac

Leaving full frame camera - for something else... (my camera-journey)

The OM-5 II uses the same sensor and imaging system / processor found in the OM-5 and E-M1 III (Sony IMX272 with truepic IX), but includes the new OM menu's, which are more intuitive and a few quality of life upgrades like better grip, USB-C, and a "CP" button. AF is good but not great. The resolvin

Sticking to Fuji for wildlife or change system

That is a tough one. I did see and test 150-600 with H2/s when it was released. It’s definitely the lightest and best executed long zoom but the cameras were very disappointing. I don’t see much chance to do BIF with it. Even LUMIX is now better. Om1 and especially MII with 300/4 is no problem at al

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

Which ecosystem to go for?

As you didn’t mentioned it, and no one else did I recommend looking at Olympus (currently OM System) lineup. There’s OM-1 Mark I that costs about the same as sony a6700 (maybe slightly more but it depends on where you live). It’s micro 4/3 sensor so it’s 2 times crop from full frame (so 300mm on m43
