I think I bought the wrong camera

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

Finally forced into buying a new body, but stick with Olympus?

Well personally, I would not get an E-M10.4 simply because the autofocus is only contrast detection. You might be able to get decent results sometimes but it's a bit of a gamble. I would look towards phase detection bodies instead, which fortunately there are plenty. Some options to consider : - E-M

What do you recommend for an all around beginners camera focused on nature?

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

E-M1X or OM-1 for Macro

The answer to that question isn't quite as easy as one might think. The OM-1 would likely be the right answer for many people, but it depends on how you do your macro. If want to do a lot of single shot images of less-than-cooperative insects, the OM-1 has a leg up. Its AF system is generally faster

Birding: Should I upgrade my setup or switch over to Nikon?

Im birding with my E-M1 II and switched to the OM-D from a Nikon D750. I really love my Olympus lenses and the E-M1 II and won’t go back to the bigger systems. I use 4/3rds lenses exclusively to trade them with my E-5. The Olympus 50-200 f2.8-3.5 with an MMF-3 and EC-14 converter is unbeatable for p

E-M1X or OM-1 for Macro

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

Best camera for a safari?

OM-D E-M1X, rugged and durable, it’s one of the best micro 4/3 cameras for wildlife photography. Telephoto lenses are smaller and cheaper too because the small square sensor size essentially acts as a 2x teleconverter, saving space.

What Best Budget Camera for Food Photography? Time for a Change.

I haven’t used a D8xx but a D750 and switched to an Olympus OM-D E-M1 II. The Ibis makes composing in food handheld so much easier, the high res mode gives me the resolution, when I want it and the bigger dog due to the smaller format is a big plus in my book for food and stilllife! When you search
