OM-5 Mark II BODY BLACK

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

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

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

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

Given your use case (beginner, not doing extensive birds/wildlife, no macro) you probably don't need a ton of bells and whistles, and you would benefit from the more modern UI/UX of the OM systems cameras. Given that, you can probably "get away" with a lower tiered, newer camera like the OM5i/ii. Lo

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

Ok, then let's say OM System is relying on the after-market for some accessories. :-) In my opinion, the cost to develop, build, and warehouse low volume accessories could easily exceed any retail profit. Yes, Olympus had a hand grip for the E-M5 Mk III (and OM-5 Mk I) but how many have you seen peo

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
