Check out the E-P7. I got it in mint condition with kit lens for only $505 from MAP Camera on eBay. It looks awesome and has the same color profiles as the OM-3. IQ is going be be basically identical to OM-3, but you are giving up an EVF, premium metal construction and some advanced computational mo

Personally, I think OM is goin’s to be okay. As we keep pushing tech, larger sensors keep lose (some) of their advantages. There are STILL people who believe that full frame “isn’t that much bigger” but they are wrong. M43 offers real advantages. The OM-3 is my favorite camera of all time! If you lo

There are a number of factors involved here but you can start with (I'll preface this with the fact I use both OM-1 & OM-3 and also the Sony A7r5 and A7Cii, and Nikon before that, however it's the OM-3 for me 95% of the time and I'm selling the A7r5 in the Summer). I will also mention that since I n

I currently use an Olympus OMD E-M5 MkII, and I've managed to bring the telephoto lens with me to some sporting events/stadiums because it's just so compact, lol. Sometimes I think about moving to the Canon R or Sony Alpha system, but I'm too embedded in the Olympus/OM ecosystem to really want to ch

Don't let glasses or EVF placement dissuade you from using the EVF. With either camera just get an add-on rubber eye cup and adjust the diopter for viewing through your glasses. The worst you'll deal with is a little nose tip smudge on your back display. EVFs exist for a reason. As for which camera,

This post happens to be about aesthetics but that doesn’t mean that is all I care about. OM-3 is a great camera that produces excellent photos. This lens is a pretty good lens that I bought for street photography. I’m not a professional but I enjoy getting out and taking photos. It gets me out of th

With that glass lineup I think you will definitely regret leaving M43... If you use Lightroom check out George Holden's film recipies... Has a full list of Fuji and Kodak so while it's not in camera you still get them after the fact. If you haven't tried LR Mobile definitely do, they work in that as

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

Fuji autofocus is the worst of the mainstream companies. Fuji weather sealing is unreliable. I didn't find the 40mp on the X-T5 anywhere near as croppable as my Nikon Z7 (45mp). I'm not sure if that's the Xtrans, the file processing, or what. It just didn't retain detail as much as it should have. P

The Em/OM 5 bodies can handle larger lenses just fine and are solid starter cameras. Pair it with the 14-150 for a surprisingly competent beginner setup. In fact, an EM5 with the 14-150 was what I got started on. The main thing you lose from the flagships is the tracking autofocus and in some of the
