Is "we have plans to launch a new PEN series under the OM System brand" genuine news, or not?

Senior Vice President Tazuhiro Togashi and Director of Product Planning Hiroki Koyama Not exactly "OM Reps". That suggests some low grade Marketoid. These "dudes" are "nosebleeder" - called that because they are so high up in the company, the thin air up there could cause nosebleeds. So these statem

Worth the switch?

Right, as a fellow Sony 20-70 f/4 owner and M43 shooter, let me share my thoughts… I own the Sony A7C (so, a step up from your A7II) along with the 20-70 f/4, plus a few other lenses. I also have an OM-5 paired with the 12-45 f/4 Pro. When I bought the Sony 20-70 f/4, my intention was to replace the

OM5 ii Alternative Recommendations

I have spent a bit of time (probably more than I should) hunting for the 'perfect' camera. Small size with lenses, and high quality. After trying the fujis, apsc, I have ended up with my OM-5 and I truly think it is the best option out there at that functionality and price point. Even if the bodies

Daily carry camera.

Micro 4/3 system. OM Systems (formerly Olympus) OM-5. Or the older Olympus OM-D E-M5 mark III. Paired with 14-42mm pancake zoom (28-84mm equivalent). Small, lightweight, good looking camera, great out of camera jpegs, RAW option.

Relative beginner—Is the OM-1 Mark II overkill?

i got a om1mk1 second hand and the camera store i bought it from gave a 6 month warranty + i could return if not happy with it - camera arrived in post fine & feels new to be honest & no regrets. Features of the mkii arent worth the cash difference but i know some ppl dont do second hand at all and

Backpacking friendly camera

+1 for m4/3 cameras. The OM System OM-5 Mk I or II will be perfect. Light, excellent weather sealing, and will produce professional grade photos if you use it right. Don't let anyone tell you different. I print 30x40 landscape prints off the older 16MP EM-5 II, and the OM-5s have a newer 20MP sensor

Be really honest, is it getting harder and harder to stick with m43?

No, it's not hard to stick with m43, but it's definitely hard to continue to upgrade bodies when the cost for new OM System cameras is comparable to or higher than many great FF mirrorless cameras from a host of other companies. For the cost of a used OM-3 I opted for a used Sony A7C with a 120 shut

Om 5 mk ii vs om 3

I charge outside the camera, but I understand the common cord benefits. It was an overdue upgrade. Don't let this crop factor thing get complicated: For exposure, all lenses are the same: f-whatever at ISO whatever at shutter speed whatever is the same on any lens on any system. An MFT lens (as you
