That was an excellent review of the Olympus Penn series. Thank you very much. 😊

he talks about everything except the camera the video is supposed to be about! wow

It is not understandable that Olympus descontinued the Oly PenF! If I am looking für the reason I meet "shutter shock" an malfunction of the IBIS. Is that true or gossip?

Well said

l bought a E-PL6 kit supplied with two Lenses...14-42mm & 40-150mm... about six years ago. Why did l choose this type over an SLR? because years ago l owned a Leica M6 and a lllB (made in 1938) with a couple of lenses and realised l just love the small quite, unobtrusive camera systems, (compared to modern cameras earlier rangefinders were particular diminutive)....as apposed to the, usually, larger clunky SLRs..However it is 'Horses for Courses' Moving on thirty years I'm a big fan of the Micro 4/3s format. Since returning to photography l have added a E-PL8 body a 9mm, 45mm lenses plus my latest acquisition a 60mm Macro. Apart from the small size the Pen range have that solid quality 'made of metal' feel which l remember so well, gives enormous confidence...To 'Snap' what Henri Cartier Bresson called 'The decisive moment' they are just perfect... They ain't the Leica rangefinders, but they ain't the same cost either!..

V good video, plz advice me shall I use this camera for wedding videography ? Pls reply.

It s the joy of using the pocketable camera. Handling in the end is the most important factor for keeping motivation. $6000 Canon 1Ds Nikon D3 heavy like a tank now even cheaper than these cameras. Cuz no one want to bring them out of street. Keep the gear small, forget all the big stuffs like OM1 (you gonna sell them sooner or later), only the small gear have their timeless value

It's not a problem to have blurry background with this camera and Lightroom for example

16:16 what has just happened on the background? 😂

I just bought my first ever Olympus camera....the EPL 9....love your video 😊

this video is very complete. it helped me a lot in choosing the optics to take with my d3500

The champagne of cameras, it is a nice backup cam for me.

I personally like the idea of the 16 MP sensor, because they are easy to send to other people or upload over slow connection, unlike my ginormous Pentak K3-III photos. I had been using Pentax QS-1, but disappointing autofocus missed to many shots. This video sold me on this for a more casual ILC camera. Thanks!

i have quite a hard time going through the video sadly. i really wish you had some on screen list or something where at the end of each section there is a list of all the lenses you just talked about so i have a visual overview of what i might wanna look at. but there are so many lenses in this video that by the end i already forgot wich lens you talked about first and then i need to go back and somehow find it again and i dont remember where you talked about it. some on screen list would really help. i am a visual person. i remember and identify things based on how they look and how a name of a lens looks like in text form for example. its like as if someone explains to you how a car works and wich cars are the best... but you never even seen a single car in your life so you cant even visualize what the person is saying

I liked this camera.. very aesthetic. Handles like a brick though with any lens attached. I can imagine the pen f feeling heavier. If you like this camera, you’ll love the E-P7 even more!

Stacked sensor isn't a big leap? THINK AGAIN!

比它責三部價錢的橋機也不能做全焦段都是 2.8大光圈証明它就是槁機之皇者無可代替超多特殊鏡片也是此機的一絕出片便分出高下講多無謂內行一聽便知真章懂吧！😅

I am just getting into taking nature pics animals and landscapes. I was looking for a decent camera with a long range zoom. I picked this up on amazon for around 450. And it seems great i think i would like more megapixles. But from what i hear 12 is decent? I still have 30 days to return. If there is anouther camera that is better at the 500 doller price range please let me know? Because i cant seem to find one.

Which should I get. The Olympus PEN Epl9 or Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1?

I have both the EPL9 in denim blue (love it!) and the EP7 in silver, and they’re absolutely great. Small, light, nice compact and sharp lenses to go with… very happy 👍👍👍

I got a nice FZ1000 for $200. It's in perfect condition. I also got a brand spanking new FZ80 for $200. The FZ80 is for birding. The FZ1000 is for everything else.

Remember about old Sigma sd series with 4.69 megapixels, that so accurate in all ways with color and shapes that it feels like 24 mpx. Foevon matrix was very good, but hard to work with in all environments. Btw you can add viewfinder as external device attached I guess.)

Just got a good deal on this camera for 150$. Been testing it for a few days, both pictures, video in 4k with external mic. Fantastic camera adnit covers all ranges with the zoom that i could possibly want. I know this camera is catered towards wildlife photography but i use it for street, architecture and Portrait.

blah,blah,blah

Just bought one open box for 367 :). Cant wait to use it

Is there a difference between the DMC-FZ300 vs FZ-300? Im seeing videos and google searches list both. Are they the same or there are 2 different models.

3 models old now, still a great camera

Thank you for sharing the history of cameras. That was very interesting and informative. Finding digital photography as a hobby at the age of 65 is a challenge because what I remember about cameras and photography was back in the 70's while in H.S. photography class. You really know your stuff!

Did you have any issues with TSA bringing the FZ-300?

the epl7 is actualy better then8 9 and 10 in many aspects i bet om system will only continue on pocket linup no more ep and epl

Reason why m4/3 needs a new 4/3" sensor that has a 36-45Mpix count on it, is marketing by 95% of it. It would dramatically boost the street respect to have a OM-1 III (the OM-1 II was released just two days ago) with such a sensor. Seriously it would be far more easier to sell a 32Mpix OM-1 III than it is 20Mpix or even just a 24Mpix. I would go straight to 45Mpix now. Sony has such level sensors to sell. And m4/3 system could play in "big league" on the market. We can talk all about diffraction effects etc, but those can be overcome with a higher resolution as well. And how many is daring to admit using f/5.6 or higher anyways if given choice go smaller? The m4/3 lenses are mostly so sharp that we could get those couple (one from Panasonic and one from OM System) high Mpix landscape cameras. Like, take the step back and create the PEN-F like body style, but designed for studio work, for field camera. Nothing to even remotely indicate sports or anyhting like that. And then increase the normal models to 24-26 Mpix count, and separate OM-1 from wildland/sports to own OM-1X line with 20Mpix, and keep OM-1 as tiny as possible, like E-M10 was... And keep it at that 28Mpix level. I would even being E-PM2 size bodies back, with tilt screen, and 16Mpix (20 if cheaper) to keep it cheap and with great new software and handling. I like to take my E-PM2 and E-M1 out now and then. A 12Mpix and 16Mpix. The sensor technology leaped between those two. But you get to do lot with those things.

Funny this is the way I feel for the last 2 years. I'm acquiring more and more "old" stuff.

Actually $450 is reasonable for a 4K video camera. That is about half what a similar spec'd camcorder costs and there is nothing new from Panasonic that is better in that price range.

dude, the little fly :D

Very informative video. Needs two corrections, the 14-150 mkii it is weather sealed as well as the 100-400. Othwr than that, amazing video.

I started capturing my adventures and this has been so great! No complaints!! Very durable and great features for “beginners” and beyond

Coffee and photography, two of my favorite things in life. This is the perfect channel for me. Love the content. Hope to see more.

i bought the new E-PL 10 from Japan. I believe it is primarily for the Asian market. I have 4 pancake lenses *9mm, 15mm, 18mm f6.3, 30mm f/10 plus 2 Pentax 110 lenses w/ adapter. The Lumix 12-32mm is also a very good compact zoom.

Thank you for this concise and informative video. I have this in my cart in an online shop, and true the price is why I haven't purchased it yet. I am nervous though to purchase electronic products used. Which newer camera do you recommend with these features at this price point.

Anyone who tried a PEN-F will never call a PL-9 their fav.

Love my Pen F. You can find excellent used copies on KEH and MPB. You've made me think about getting a used EP# as cheaper walk around option. The Pen F is beautiful and I worry about abusing it.

One thing is certain; there is no perfect bridge camera. for shooting video FZ300 suffers from very slow autofocus even in the best setting, resulting in nearly unusable in fast or sudden scenes/objects. pictures are very good but 12 megapixel result in too small square for todays standards. Also the top zoom lever is defective from factory, probably due to bad quality parts.

Nice to see others interested in vintage digital cameras. I recently picked up a pre-micro 4/3rds Olympus 4/3rds E-420 and E-510 DLR's and their attendant 14-42 & 40-150 kit lenses. For kit lenses they are exceptionally good. I spent less than US$200 for everything.😎

Another very informative video...I have always had Pens (sometimes a Pany gx9 or gx7) along side my full frame gear etc....Note:.. though I have a VF-3 for my current E-pl8.I rarely carry or use it ..I am 70yrs young and retired living in Bangkok... I love doing street work... the rear screen is generally bright enough..(I use center point single focus with audio beep...Old school half press shutter than reposition...the beep is spot on....I dislike side flip and love screens that flip down (old medium format shooter.). Kinda why I have bought.. than later sold the Pen F twice... I really love the GX9 but its getting harder to buy used and now days the smaller E-PL 8 and a mint E-P3 fill my small camera habit...My current M43 lens compliment is minimal but does the trick .. (Pan Leica 9/1.7...Pan Leica 15/1.7...Oly 60/2.8 macro...Oly 40-150/2.8 Pro ...MC-14...Lumix 14/2.5 pancake...BCL0980)...(I am not much of a 50mm FOV guy...always prefered 35mm ish FOV) and being a Canon user ... I also use an EF300/4L IS USM or my EF70-300/4-5.6L IS USM on my M43 gear with a Viltrox EF-M. adapter... (saves buying the expensive Oly 300/4 ) Cheers

Hello guys I don't know much about cameras so help a brother out💙 Should I go for GX80/Fz300 camera Or for flagship phone like the S22 Or One Plus 9 pro, all what I care about is the video quality 💙💙

Great video quality,. I have the same Olympus set up but using the Olympus log and flat profiles. What picture mode are you using?.

Great observations and a perfect time to buy a classic! I recently bought a mint condition, low shutter count (Metal Body/weather sealed) Olympus EM-5 for $240. It was an amazing deal.

This is the first of your video's I've seen and I have to complement you on a very useful video with great presentation. I am also a big Olympus/OM Systems fan and have been shooting their gear since the film days, through the Four Thirds cameras, and then into Micro Four Thirds. My first MFT camera was a PEN - E-P2. I have a PEN E-P5 and E-PL9 now in addition to a some OM-D bodies and an OM-1. Again, great video, but in the interest of constructive input I some corrections: 1. The E-PL9 and E-PL10 (which are essentially identical) do share some significant improvements over the E-PL8. The 9 & 10 have the TruePic VIII image processor, but the 8 has the TruePic VII processor. Due to the processor upgrade, the 9 & 10 can shoot 4k video vs. the FHD of the 8. The rear screen on the 9 & 10 will tilt all the way down to face forward for vlogging but not on the 8. The 9 & 10 have 121 AF points vs. 81, and both the 9 & 10 have Bluetooth in addition to the Wi-Fi only of the 8. The 9 & 10 have a built in flash. However, the 8 has a port for one of several electronic viewfinders, as do most of the PENs from the E-PL8 and E-P5 backwards. 2. As stated in the last sentence above, most of the PEN models through the E-PL8 or E-P5 have an accessory port for a high quality hot-shoe mounted EVF like the Olympus VF-4. The EVF does add to the bulk of the camera, but is great for bright outdoor situations and for critical composition. 3. The E-P7 has some significant improvements over the PEN-F. It has the TruePic VIII processor whereas the PEN-F has the TruePic VII. The 7 supports Bluetooth, 4k video has a built-in flash, the same flip-down-for-vlogging screen as the E-PL9 & 10, Live Composite Modes, focus bracketing & stacking, and has a 1/8000th top shutter speed vs. the 1/4000th of the PEN-F. I have an OM-1 and only partially agree with you about the performance of the new sensor. Most sources document at least 1 stop of DR improvement and improved color fidelity and reduced noise at high ISOs. However, this real advantage of this dual-layer sensor is it's screaming readout speed compared to any single-layer sensor. This is why the OM-1 can shoot up to 120 fames per second with all sorts of other FPS combinations, with and without continuous AF and/or exposure. From other reviews I've seen, this new sensor also produces better color fidelity because of the way a dual-level sensor pipelines the image data. It is the technology of choice for many new bodies from other vendors, and is new enough I don't think it's full potential has been exploted. In summary, notwithstanding my comments above, your overall points really carry this video: 1. The PEN series is fun to shoot and small enough to always have with - I totally agree. 2. Even non-photographers love the look of them (which helps with candid and street photography shooting). 3. The best camera is the one you have with you - see #1 above. 4. The MFT lens selection is fantastic. 5 The PENs (and the Olympus OM-D series) were so advanced at the time that they are still great picture makers today, and at dirt cheap prices. Great video I will share with others, and you have more than earned a cup of coffee! Thank you!

I started with a Lumix GX80 when I knew nothing about cameras. Now I'm looking for a nice telephoto prime lens for deer in murky forests, and you might have just convinced me to stick it on an Olympus body.

My 10 year old Panasonic GM1 is still my go to travel camera. With its collapsible 12-32 zoom lens it fits in a jacket pocket or waist pack. Have thought about buying another as a backup.. how does the Olympus Pen 9 compare? Similar picture quality?
