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

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

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

OM-5II

OM Systems welcomes new Chinese M43 brand: Songdian

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

OM-1 II: Overkill for a "nature & kids" amateur, or the perfect ergonomic solution?

I always despised people buying the latest and greatest gear while not having the skill to use it fully. The whole point of the latest gear IMO, is that it makes challenging photography far more accessible to those with LESS skill. The only way you're going to get in-focus shots of moving subjects i
