OM-D E-M1X

You'll probably want a camera with PDAF focusing. So, an E-M1/1.2/1.3, or a very-used OM-1. If you don't mind changing brands, the Panasonic G9 II and the GH7 have PDAF, but even used will be out of your budget. If you want to impress all the other sports dads, get an E-M1X ;) Personally, I'd look f

I don’t think that’s likely. E-M1X was a bit of a bet that failed because non-M4/3 users had a hard time understanding why they would buy such a large camera if the sensor was still half the area of a full-frame body. Olympus did pack the extra space inside it with as many features as they could at

They’re mostly all the same. Just get whichever one you want and stick with it forever. I’d probably avoid the cheapest Canons and cheapest Sony’s. The Nikon 50-250mm is a very good lens considering what it is. They also have a cheap but also very good 12-28mm The cheapest Canons like the R100 nerf

Generally, I think you are better off with newer generation gear, and right now you can get an OM-1 MK I in the US for $1,400. There are no differences between it and the Mk II that would affect macro work. Also, you can add the HLD-10 battery grip to the OM-1 giving you a very similar form factor a

Yeah I mean at the end of the day, it's mostly about enthusiats discussing about minor details about modern cameras. Realistically evey camera released since 2016 has only been a minor upgrade over the previous model. I feel this is especially true with Olympus / OM system going from the E-M1ii, to

Maybe we think we are in stagnation looking our neighbors and thinking traditionally about our brands, we always use to think brands are a bit outdated with small number of new releases, but as a traditional words says "If you think you're not making progress, look back and realize how far you've co

I used to own those lenses and ran them on an E-M1X and E-M1mkII. The size is great, but the performance per dollar isn’t there. The Oly 7-14 is good, the Nikon 12-28 is better. The 12-40 is fine, but at f/11 for landscapes, not much different over the 16-50 kit lens (or the Panasonic 12-32) and the

I don’t doubt that but when it comes to the E-M1x it’s used price is at least to me significantly less appealing (tends to go for about $1200 the few listings that pop up around here), the leap to a newer OM body is not huge (especially not if you go used, like OM-1 Mk i or so)

OM-1 . If I remember correctly the E-M1X was a precursor to the E-M1 III. It's basically just a E-M1 III + grip with additional features optimized for wildlife shooting. The OM-1 is essentially an E-M1 IV. The OM-1 would have the latest features so that'd be the best camera to use to get the most mo

The E-M1X is a beast. Performance wise, it sits pretty much in the middle between the E-M1 mark II and E-M1 mark III. All 3 have the same sensor, same burst rate, same video specs, etc however the E-M1X introduced hand held high res modes, which isn't present in the E-M1ii. It also has AI deep learn
