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

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

What is Micro Four Thirds missing in 2025?
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stagnation looking our neighbors and thinking traditionally about our brands, we always use to think brands are a bit outdated with small number of new releases, but as a traditional words says "If you think you're not making progress, look back and realize how far you've co

Advantages of moving to Mirrorless over DSLR?
I have a mixed fleet of mirrorless and DSLR cameras, both have their advantages…since I am a manual focus fanatic, I have found that it is far easier and accurate to keep my images in focus using DSLRs and I can keep them on for much longer than my mirrorless cameras, I have ALL of my mirrorless cam

Should i buy this camera?
I have the OM-D E-M1X. I Thought about this but i want better low light performance and dynamic range for portraits. I use my Olympus mainly for high speed sports cause of its IBIS and for wildlife cause of its reach. A 45mm on my olympus would be 90mm equivalent, which im jot sure is optimal as a p
