OM-5 Mark II Body Silver

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

It's a hard buy for me with the current OM-1 offering. Personally, I think OM-5.2 should've come with the same OM-1 and OM-3 AF system. It's a missed opportunity for OM not to put its great AF system in their latest model and ensures that this brand excels in AF. I doubt the cost in implementing thi

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

With the OM-3 you gain: Better autofocus algorithms. Better PDAF coverage on the sensor (100% vs I think 70%). Better build quality. Better video quality (but still not on par with Sony/Lumix). Color dial (I don’t use the JPEGs that often but use the jpeg preview as it will at least give me the ball

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

You're likely to run into other problems with a longer lens on that camera... As you start shooting longer lenses with larger entrance pupils, the DOF gets shallower and the subjects are moving faster in the frame. All of this increases the challenge of focusing on your subject exponentially. Unfort

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

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
