Is M43 Really That Rare? (Discussion)

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

First leaked image of the new OM-5II

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

Help me save money?

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

Why?

R8 is a base model full frame with minimal features, it lacks weather sealing, stabilization, and uses a small battery. It's main selling point is that it's a full frame but not much else going for it. OM-3 is a flagship level camera with IP rated weather sealing, 7.5 stops of IBIS with stabilized l

Ratlos bei der Kamera wahl

Die Frage ist zunächst: Wieso Hasselblad bzw Leica? Für den Look? Für's 'haben'? Technisch gesehen sind diese Kameras zwar sehr gut und überdecken rein rechnernisch den MFT Sensor der OM, allerdings hast du auf Insta und Co nichts davon. Wenn du wirklich in den großformatigen Print gehen möchtest, w

Beginner: How should I split my budget between camera body and lenses to be future-proof?

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

The OM-1 1.7 firmware update is available

The OM-1 Mk I, Mk II, and OM-3 have a completely different BSI stacked sensor from the one in the E-M1 Mk III (and Mk II) which is what accounts for the improved performance of the newer cameras.

Panasonic G9 i vs Olympus E-M1 ii for wildlife?

I own the G9, Em1.2 and now Em1.3 (soon to start using) . From the start, using the same brand on a high end body has too many advantages to pass on them. A- G9 with 2.4 (or higher) firmware : dual ibis ii and dfd . While dfd is 'only' contrast base, it is the best at it. The 'pulsing' effect in vid

So, does this mean an MFT lens lineup revival?

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
