OM-3

Does not work reliably on Olympus/OM System. Does not work with AFC. Unusable for video with af.

The big one is that the Continuous AF with Tracking is nowhere near as good as Nikon 3D Tracking, and you can't set it to "any subject detect" like the Nikons. Then other things like you can't re-center the focus point by long-pressing "OK" unless you have moved it recently and it is active. Punch-i

As a new photographer, what are you going to be doing that needs the features of these cameras that cannot done by an older cheaper camera? This is a serious question you need to ask yourself, and then look back on the older models and see how far back you can go an still meet your requirements. If

There's... a mess when it comes to crop factors and low light performance. Definitely, MFT suffers from poor low light, though this comes from a mixture of misunderstandings of crop factors and "equivalence". Easiest thing to mention is something like a hypothetical 25mm f/2 Prime. With the x2 crop

I bought the Olympus 100 to 400 from Japan on eBay, used, for about 600 bucks. It will work with the Olympus teleconverters. It focuses fast… Is not a very fast lens but wide open, shooting a bird from a distance, depth of field might be a little too shallow unless a few nail focus on the eyes. I wo

I love m43 system, but no, it would be foolish to do so these days (with a few exceptions) You can find cheaper and better camera and lenses, new or used. Take a Sony A6100, it smokes everything m43 by a mile except the OM-1 and G9 II in some areas and it's dirt cheap. Autofocus, video, fps, senzor,

I think personally I can see where you are going with this post, but also personally I can say that you probably should have stated what the real issues actually are, ergonomics means the GX8 and GX80 wont be much better you need a BIGGER camera period, something like Lumix G80, G70 or heck even E-M

No, it's not hard to stick with m43, but it's definitely hard to continue to upgrade bodies when the cost for new OM System cameras is comparable to or higher than many great FF mirrorless cameras from a host of other companies. For the cost of a used OM-3 I opted for a used Sony A7C with a 120 shut

m43 really needs a small camera with stacked/BSI sensor and better AF. I could do without the AF, but low ISO performance on my A6700 is a dream, worrying about motion blur or grain isn't even a thing anymore. m43 is the system that benefits the most from this tech to get better performance out of t

I'm pretty surprised to hear that tracking AF on fast targets is better on OM-3 compared to Zf. AFAIK, even top-of-the-line OM Systems cameras still trail the big 3 of Sony, Canon, Nikon in terms of tracking AF. Then again I don't have first-hand experience with the OM-3 and Zf. I can only extrapola
