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.
@cameracafebyscott Since then I got an E-M1X, a 300m F4 lens, and now I'm taking packed lunches to work. 😅 But wow, there's an instant jump in quality of my long range photos. I gotta go about improving my eye now. Also been appreciating my GX80 as a runabout camera too.
I would prefer the Olympus OMD EM5 iii. It still features dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof, also good for shooting wildlife in the most difficult environment...
OM-1 is actually a big upgrade over E-M1ii thanks to its stacked sensor. I agree though, if you're just starting, it makes way more sense to go with E-M1ii and allocate the rest of the budget into lenses.
I thought the OM-1's stacked sensor would do a lot but I've seen those testing it see little benefit. The big benefits of stacked is normaly speed but while there is some improvements, it isn't what you'd expect.
@@cameracafebyscott That's interesting, because 50fps procapture with continuous af, without rolling shutter was literally *the* selling point for me. Some reviewers also did not see improvements in high iso performance, which is factually incorrect.
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.
High MP means problems with low light, though, especially on smaller sensors. Going to 45MP would cause a lot of worry amongst M43 users. Panasonic has a new, nice 25MP M43. FOr landscape these cameras can do 50MP hand held and 80MP tripod mounted. That solves a lot of issues.
Great camera. Love mine.
3 models old now, still a great camera
Yeah, it's amazing. It's still one of my main cameras and people are still amazed with how good it consistently looks.

Oh nice! I mean Panasonic makes great stuff too. But there is just something about the Olympus system :)

I agree ! A great all around little performer !

Lot of hot air blowing around in this video.
