OM-5

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

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

a smaller camera The A7C is basically the only 'proper' full frame body that is that size (not counting non-EVF stuff like the S9); everything else, everything else in the full frame market loses to M43 on system size and weight. I have an R8 as my main camera and even that is bigger, heavier and th

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

If you don't mind going a bit bigger I would suggest going with the E-M1 MkII or MkIII, maybe even the Panasonic Lumix G9. M43, e

Computational features. Interesting that no one has mentioned them. Notably found in M43 Om-System & Panasonic. Stuff like in-camera focus stacking, in camera ND filters and starry sky AF to name a couple. Compared to the Z7ii full frame I had, I liken my little OM-5i to a high tech little Jeep. It

First check out Justin Mott on YouTube he is a pro with extensive time with Leicas but always uses Sony for client paid work. https://www.youtube.com/@AskMOTT/videos I’d recommend renting a Sony A1 with a 16-35mm GM and then maybe a 85mm for portraits. As a super light backup camera the Olympus OM5

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
