OM-3

I truly hope—pray, even—that OM System’s next release won’t just be another rehash like the OM-1 Mark II. That camera, while fine on paper, was essentially a software update sold at full price, and it left many of us deeply disillusioned. I’m starting to lose hope in the brand. I’ve been using the E

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

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

around f/8 at the largest usually That's where Micro Four Thirds is known to suffer from optical diffraction. If not for their obscene cost, I'd probably gravitate towards the brightest primes available just because even if at f/2, you're getting loads of light and you're probably at the peak of the

The issue (if it's fair to call it that) for pro photographers is that OM doesn't offer much for them - OM offers great savings and lightweight, compact, gear - but those don't move pros the way they move hobbyists, because pros are open to compromising on exactly those aspects in exchange for thing

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,

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

OM-3 still quite big especially compared to the EM5 or OM-5. So the difference really is that noticeable? size and weight are significant factors because I... I want to be able to give my kid the camera.that's also why ruggedness is a factor. 😬 can easily combat that with the exposure compensation A
