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

Debating whether to stay with MFT

If you want shallower DOF and more light gathering than you can get from F/2.8 zooms and F/1.4 primes on M43, then it's time to move up to a larger sensor system, and you'll have to carry more weight to get larger entrance pupils covering the same FOV. I wouldn't consider the F/1.7 zooms or F/1.2 pr

Genuinely impressed with my om5ii Vs a7iii photos.

Jestem posiadaczem równolegle dwóch systemów, oba rozbudowuję i modyfikuję od lat. Mam Sony Alpha (obecnie A7RM5 i A7CR) oraz M4/3 (obecnie OM-3, choć przez kilka lat głównie OM-1 MK1 i MK2). Nie potrafię się pogodzić z myślą o pozbyciu się jednego z tych systemów. Oba mają swoje dobre i złe strony

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

OM Outlet Pricing

You're not comparing like for like. The OM-1 is a totally different sensor and processor. If you put that sensor and processor into a 5 series body you would see that new 5 series body selling for MORE than the OM-1. The E-M5 III, which is based on the E-M1 II, consistently sells for more than the E

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

Do not try to "future-proof" this decision. That makes it harder because we don't know the future. The used camera market is very robust. So if you need something different next year, it is easy to sell what you have and get the other thing. Make the best decision for what you need today, and you wi

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
