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

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

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

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
