Hi Joe, we just wanted to wish you nothing but the best with your new camera. It is a camera that I am considering.

Hi Joe, we just wanted to say that we thoroughly enjoyed this video and are considering a Olympus camera in the future. Good luck from Bill and Abby from Patterson New York.

Om1 or eos r6? I primarily shoot small waves in handheld longexposures. Love the om1 already but i‘m worried that the r6 is better in low light Situations and has more dynamics in the shade of the Breaking wave

Great video - you are talking about weight, so why go for the 40-150 f:2.8 PRO, When their 40-150 f:4.0 PRO is 99% as sharp as the F:2.8?

Great decision young man , i have been with Olympus -OM systems since the em-3 i now have the OM-5, the OMD-EM1x and the OM-1 with the 12-40 2.8 pro the 40-150 2.8 pro ,a 25 1.8 pro and a 60mm macro lens all of which are awesome lenses . I do also have a Nikon D850 with a 24-70 2.8 and a 70-200 2.8 which i also love for different reasons . My favourite saying is it doesn’t matter which camera you use because these days there really isn’t a bad one just bad users , if you work at being a good story teller then every camera will work so just get out and shoot. Good luck.

Funny thing is I still have/use the 2010 Olympus EPL1, the 2012 EPL5 and EM5 and they have been in the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Canada and all across the USA and all 3 still work flawlessly.

Congratulation Joe on your new camera. I shoot full frame in the early 80’s film. Then fall back to a few film point and shoot. During the digital age I do canon powershot then to the APS-C Nikon, full frame was just too expensive back then. Few years back I switch to MFT using the Olympus Pen series then to the last Olympus camera the OMD EM1 Mk III with 12 - 40 2.8 Pro an a couple of primes. The OM System I believe is the newer manufacturer that took over Olympus camera divisions. The Olympus camera features is superb and most important to me as a biker, it is small and light weight. Hope you have great time and make many photos.

That’s a really cool feature

Hi! I can’t wait to see the stabilization performance and the dynamic range from the OM1 in post processing!

Great choice..!

Great video! I just subscribed. I'm in the same situation you (were)-I’ve been eyeing OM System cameras for nearly two years but haven’t had a chance to try them in person since I don’t have a good camera store nearby. I’m torn between the OM-5 (or maybe the E-M1 Mark III) for its compact size and affordability, and the OM-1 for its feature set. I'd be interested in your thoughts comparing the 2. What made you decide on the OM1 (for you) in the end? Thanks.

Welcome to the family!

I have had almost every camera known to man over the years, looking for the perfect one of course. My first decent one was the Olympus Em1 and recently I returned to the fold with the OM1. I can actually afford good quality lenses for it, it’s light and small and the image quality is very good. I hope no one else catches on because I don’t want prices to rise. Let’s keep it quiet 😊

I just sold all of my Sony Gear in September and now have the OM1 Mk1, and I am absolutely loving it! I love the smaller form factor, mainly of the lenses. Live Composition is amazing, so is star AF

Congrats, it's one of the best cameras I ever owned, and I'm sure you'll like it.

Joe, Congratulations on your new camera system. I am a beginner photographer and used the Nikon D5600. I recently purchased an OM-5. If you find good tutorials for OM system beginners would you please share? Thanks and look forward to your upcoming videos with the OM system!

Great video, I can feel the excitement. I know how it feels although I have been using Olympus for 10 years now. Not even two months ago I bought the OM-5, upgrading from my two OM-D E-M10s, also buying a couple of pro lenses - and a grip which makes it as big as the OM-1 I guess. ;D The only pro lense I had before was the 12-40 (v.1), and I am really happy with it. I shot two weddings with it, not even needing a flash. I got the 7-14 pro, the new 20 pro and the 40-150 pro (f4), all of them brilliant lenses. I can also recommend the 17 1.8, the 25 1.8 and the 45 1.8, the ones I've used the most up to now (they fit nicely with the small E-M10), oh and the 60 2.8 macro. I use the 75-300 to shoot the moon. You see, I'm fully equipped. And I am far from being professional. At 50, I just started using RAW files for the first time and getting acquainted with Lightroom and Negative Lab Pro for all the old films I shot with my Nikon SLRs back in the day. Really looking forward to whatever you're doing with your OM-1 II!

Joe , thanks for sharing! I've had omdem5markiii for few years now with 12x45 f4 pro lens and have zero complaints only to say my wish list is all those pro lenses. My next lens choice for myself would be 40x150 f.4 pro for family pics and grandchildren daylight sports . My question to you is how much larger om1 vs om5 and your opinion on differences in size and features. Best of luck! Jack.

Hi very interesting video - which is the sharpest Tamron 59-400 or Nikon 28-400?

When the camera is "busy" the multiple image is taken and you can move it without problems!

Are you sure you need to hold on the camera still shooting High Res shots? Is the “Busy” time just for the camera to combine and process the multiple exposures into one single shot?

Great video and waterfall photos 👍🙂💧

That was interesting. Some say it doesn't matter which camera you use but I enjoy seeing others talk about their choices and the reasons why. You also have a cool way of explaining basic stuff. It's just a pleasure to listen to you.

What a great, uplifting and inspiring video. I wish there were waterfalls half as beautiful as the one you've been to in the area where I live ... in the middle of Berlin, Germany. ;D I got my first Nikon SLR in 1986 but switched to Olympus ten years ago. I needed something smaller and wanted something that looked like a camera from when I was young. The OM-D E-M 10 was perfect. A month ago I bought the OM-5 and I am super happy with it, now watching different people on RUclips showing me many possibilities of how to use it beyond my usual ways, so thanks for your enthusiasm. The only downside about the OM-5 is the small battery. I have two spare ones whenever I go shooting. I'll go and watch some of your other videos now. Keep it up!

On the High Res Handheld, you don't have to hold it steady once its showing Busy, I love my OM-5, moved from FF Sony :-)

Love your enthusiasm! Someone already mentioned it but the high-res shot is very fast, the processing just takes a wile. I have both the OM-1 and the OM-5. I love the OM-1 because it is so good at just about everything (high-res processing is much faster, stronger ND filters and so on) but my go to camera is the OM-5. Less than the OM-1 but for 95% of all cases more than enough. I have been using this camera for over a year now with days of up to 12 hours of shooting in sometimes very extreme weather (hot, wet, cold), but it keeps running and it doesn't show any wear at all. To me the grip is one of the best features of this camera. For such a small camera it is brilliant.

When was this video filmed ?

Beautiful photos. The camera may “take” them but first an artist has to “see” them, regardless of type of equipment. I had shot Canon for decades until a few years ago when I was introduced to Olympus (now OM Systems). What a joy to use…and smaller, lighter while saving some $ on comparable gear. And the innovations in OM System cameras really open up creative possibilities. Nice intro to a couple of them. Enjoy. Cheers.

Thanks for a good video. I have been an Olympus (now OM-System) user for many years (since 1975 when I got my first OM-1). But one thing makes me wonder - why choose an expensive lens that does its best full open for landscape photography where you're using f:8.0 and so? I have their 8-25mm f:4.0 and mostly shoot landscapes, and as a zoom lens it is really good - although not at the level of a top-prime. I have the first OM-1 and if finances allowed, I would switch to the mkII, just because of its LiveGND, which unfortunately does not come to mine.

I have the Olympus OMD M5 III which I love. However, the OM5 is not much more than a new logo and firmware update so I'm sticking with the M5. There is a rumor that there is an OM5 mark II on the way. If they add a USB-C port I may upgrade.

thank you for sharing your experience with Om-system and especially with the 5. I think the 20 megapixel photos are the sharpest. Make no mistake, there are 20 megapixels on a censor that is half the size of a full frame. the more pixels there are on a censor. the faster you will have problems with noise, among other things. otherwise very nice photos

Wow 👍🏼

I have an OMD EM1 MK3 and can hold 2 second shots

I am fascinated to know why so many photographers turn beautiful, sparkling, running water into cotton wool.

Waterfall Joe, like the name! Some nice shots you got there. I bleed Nikon and I'll always be a Nikon man and have been since 1975, but another photographer I've followed on RUclips tried the OM-5 last year and has been singing it's praises, and a few weeks ago I added an OM-5 with the 12-45mm to my quiver of Nikons! I haven't yet put it into the field in a serious way, but I will soon. However, that being said I have immediately become a huge fan. I as well, now and even in my youth, have never been a reliably stable shooter and growing up began shooting medium and large format sheet film ALWAYS on a tripod before my father let me use one of his Nikon F's. I've always shot from a tripod because of the discipline it forces upon everything from composition to patience in the entire approach to photography. In the quote, Old Days, when film was dear and you had to carry film holders/magazines, changing bags and boxes of film along with your camera and tripod, you learned patience and discipline because you couldn't waste film on possibilities. The tripod forced you to edit in your head and make decisions about what you'd shoot and what you'd only admire and leave un-shot. You still got images that didn't measure up but that's always been the case. I just have more of them now that I'm ALL digital. I too, LOVE the OM-5 and I haven't yet really used it. I continue to shoot with all my Nikons, my 850's, 800E for IR, and my Zed 7's, but this little gem, the OM-5 sits among them as an equal. It's the most nearly PERFECT little walk around and travel set up with the 12-45mm that I've ever held in my very large hands and still it's pleasantly easy to handle.

I find the ND is great! Focus stacking is amazing for macro.

Joe, great video. Your video reminds me that I need to go find some more waterfalls in my area. I use the OM-5 as my exploring camera. The size and feature set is hard to beat. I like to travel with the smaller Olympus and Panasonic primes for portability. It is also my main camera for macro shooting and I have the range of Olympus macro lenses as well. I am wondering what strap you were using with the OM-5? I liked the style of it and might want to get one. It looks like you have picked up an OM1 Mk2. I hope you are enjoying the new camera.

I use the older E-M1 Mark II. It's a great camera, so i know the OM series are even better. They're about 3 generations newer. Also, add you may know, you get the f2 light but double the depth of field. So at f9 you are really getting about f18 depth.

Awesome video Joe! Love the bridge scenes and the autumnal looks. Cant wait for you to be so comfy with hand holding that you take the tripod plate off! haha 😉

Once it goes to processing u don't need to be still. So it's very quick and varies depending on shutter speed

Great video, as you have already discovered the ibis is outstanding on any of the micro4/3 cameras, but you would have been even more impressed with the camera if you dropped your f-stops down to give you a little more shutter speed, you didn't gain any extra depth by shooting at f14 or f10 on micro 4/3 f5.6 would have given you all the depth you need just remember because of the 2x crop the focal length and the f/stops are doubled so at f/10 and f/14 you are already shooting at the equiv in F/Frame of around f/20 and f/22 so you're in the diffraction zone and probably not in the sharpest range of the lens, the sharpest range generally for most micro 4/3 lens is between f/4 and f/8.

How do you find this camera compared to your z6-2? I have om-1 for nature/wildlife/landscape. Curious about Nikon and Sony.

I have this camera haven't had much use for the live ND, actually kind of find it kind of frustrating to use. But I do enjoy the high resolution mode i use quite often, and the camera is my go to with the 17mm 1.2 pro with most things.

Buttermilk Falls inside of Plymouth, along the Bristol line (Fall Mountain area - 83 feet high over three stages.

Sadly I don't have a camera atm but I did see it tonight and about a week ago in binos 😁

I was in South Windsor and I tried to take a picture and I did ok. My main issue was manual focus on a dslr that I haven't been fully trained on. but I did ok. Maybe the next one I will be better on

Any settings to bring the comet to live view? It appears in the video that your camera screen is quite lit, while mine struggles to show anything. I’ve tried with Canon and Olympus.

Interesting!!

Hi Joe. I like the way you explain all stuffs. Wish you good luck for the youtube journey. ❤ from India.
