Beginner: OM-5 I/II, GX9 or Fuji?

Hi OP, welcome to GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome/Sickness) and Analysis Paralysis :) If you want to take photos of mostly static people, I would recommend Fuji X-E5. I find it has more pleasing skin tones than OM. Fuji also has shallower DOF (Depth of Field) due to larger sensor so that there will b

So who's buying an OM-5 II and why? (Surprise: Me?)

Yeah I can see why it seems like we’ve had 3 cameras that are the same that have slowly chipped away at what was needed. I don’t think that’s especially fair when looking at the E-M5.3 and the OM-5. They are based on two different “1 series” cameras, E-M1.2 and E-M1.3. The major missteps were: The E

New OM Camera

What I expect: OM-5 II update with USB-C and new menu system will continue to use IMX272 sensor with the same PDAF points, but with a TruePic X processor, tamed down a bit for the smaller battery size of the 5 series (think, lower clock speed, fewer features enabled). $1200 MSRP. The update to the p

Would you recommend an M43 for a new photographer?

Absolutely. You've said elsewhere you're tending towards OM, and I'd suggest any of the bodies with phase detect auto focus: em5 iii, om5, om5 ii, em1 ii, em1 iii, OM1, om1 ii or om3. Going used on the earlier models of those is a really cost effective way of getting very close to the latest kit. Fo

Stuck in upgrade paralysis

I have owned and used EM/OM cameras over the last decade, starting with the E-M5 II, then E-M1 II, E-M1 III, OM-5 II, and OM-1 II. The E-M5 III you are familiar with has the same IMX270 sensor and truepic 8 processing found in the E-M1 II. The IMX270 is fundamentally equivalent in imaging performanc

Which M43 camera would be worth trading a Sony A7III for if any?

You have various options. I don't know how much you can trade the Sony for (or home many lenses you have for it). OM-3 - great retro looking camera. Looks innocent but is highly capable. Has the new sensor. OM-1 mark I - Bit bigger, not unlike your Sony, still with the new sensor. I feel it attracts

Camera to photograph mushrooms?

Om5 and Olympus 60 mm f2.8 macro. There is a new om5 (the om5 ii) that's just been released so you might well find the mark i on offer (it is where I am) or just buy used. There are very few differences between the mark i and ii. M43 (the sensor size in the om5) has some nice advantages for macro, a
