TIL two weeks after being appointed CEO of Olympus, Michael Christopher Woodford blew the whistle on Olympus after he was fired for repeatedly questioning suspicious transactions and involving external auditors, exposing one of the biggest "loss-hiding arrangements in Japanese corporate history".

I have owned a camera from almost every system being produced but I always find myself drawn back to Olympus M43 cameras. I have a Fujifilm XH2S but I seem to prefer my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, to the point that I'm seriously considering selling my Fuji kit to get an OM-1. It's so sad how Olympus

Full-frame aperture equivalency stupidity

I mostly shoot with Fuji these days, but for a long time was an Olympus shooter in the 4/3 days and still have a GX85 that I like. I really like m4/3. I've used full frame cameras. There are clear benefits to the various systems, but the differences are not always as great as some may believe. The e

OM 12-100 and 12-200 vs Nikon Superzooms?

The 12-100 is a superb lens which really has no weaknesses, except that it is a largeish lens for the MFT system. I love mine, and it is my go-to lens in most situations. My go bag has two bodies: an OM-1 with the 300 f/4 PRO and an OM-1 II with the 12-100.

Why does he have tiny holes on his face?

My camera is the OM-1 Mark ii and the lens was OM System 90mm 1:3.5 MACRO IS PRO. It’s my favorite bug camera! I also use an Olympus bellows lens and a laowa macro lens for my other photos. I have some of my shots on my photography page on instagram ( @Violetsandlenses ) if you’d like to check them

I think modern OM system stuff is meant to be pretty fine. There's not been a huge amount of development across M43 sensors though. The OM1 and Lumix G9 both seem pretty great for their markets tbf

In a dill of a pickle - Unsure what to do!

I would look into acquiring on OM System OM1 mk1, either new or used. It should be way cheaper than an OM3 and has better build quality. Check the stats and compare with what you need. If you like the OM m43 ecosystem, you can't go wrong with at least exploring this option. I got mine about 3 years

Is there anyone who has used both Sony and Olympus cameras?

I’ve had Fuji, Sony FF, APSC as well as Olympus/om cameras which I currently use. For me I really enjoy the lighter weight, ergonomics, ruggedness of OM and the quality of the output is completely acceptable for what I do with the cameras. The downside of m43 being MUCH less actively developed in th

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 +

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
