OM-1

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

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

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)

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

This again… Everyone says “there’s no new tech in m43 bodies”. What new tech is needed? Leading edge computational features have been a part of m43 for years. We have image pre-capture on even the lowest tier camera bodies for years, something that only recently appeared on LUMIX FF and flagships. T

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

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

I used to own a Tough TG camera. I realized that a Tough TG camera is a photographer camera where you normally bring a action camera, but an action camera doesn’t take good enough stills and you wouldn’t bring even a rugged camera like the OM1 series to take photos (think para sailing in the ocean o

Certain companies like Sony offer crazy discounts to camera store employees. Which help drives sales to the people that are selling the product. I know at one point Sony was offering something like half back in prepaid Visa cards or something to that extent. So the people selling the product ended u

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
