I really enjoyed this! Great images and I agree, the latest camera's from OM Solutions are fantastic and so capable of magnificent images. Thank you for this!
Thank you very much. Those owls were such a lucky moment l. They have been returning to the same tree for years but unfortunately this was the first year that I haven't seen them. Who knows, maybe next year 🙂 thanks for watching and your kind comment, I really appreciate it. Grt guido
Thank you Guido I was an Olympus shooter. Got rid of the OMD EM1 and 5 and went to Canon full frame. Now, its just too heavy and cumbersome. Im selling off my 5d 4 and Sr and going back to Olympus to the OM1. They have changed enough to bring me back in. Your video pushed me over the edge. PS My wife is from the Netherlands
Thanks for watching. It was great to see that you found the video useful. All my videos are shot with the om-1 and om-1mk2 (earlier version em1x), so if you want some more examples, then check some out 🙂 I'm sure you will love the om-1! Ow, that's great we're did your wife live and we're are you living now? Thanks for watching and your comment. I really appreciate it! Grt guidk
@rentedtux1883 ah nice city! Do you prefer living in the netherlands above living in the States? Lots of people would think otherwise. Guess it all depends on where you live in the States.
A nice yearly review of pictures and experiences! While I cannot comment all the pictures I thought that I would comment some particularly those that I might have missed or not seen in previous videos: hope this is ok.... 05:15 Depth. Light. Feels like I am there with the photographer. 05:55 Very nice indeed with layers. The bright vivid colors in the foreground and then the transition to the more muted in the background. 08:45 I struggle to capture insects and birds in good compositions and settings. I would be proud having this one in my portfolio. Also later in the video you have a section devoted to birds and birds in flight but I feel I cannot comment being a novice in this area. 08:55 Excellent! Rather different from most of the previous pictures: dark. The contrast between the leaves and the yellow brown (?pine needles?) and the rest if really appealing to me. 09:15 Just lovely. 09:25 So much atmosphere.... 12:05 dock boats with sunset/rise. Like with 05:15 I feel like I am standing there while you are taking the shot. 13:05 Wow! really like this one, a powerful image. 20:25 my favorite among your bird photos 21:35 such detail! 25:22 Very nice, really like it. Best regards, Joe
Thanks for your great reply Joe, happy to read wich images work best for you. I can only learn from that. Sorry didn't reply to your mail yet. Busy weekend. But I will get to it later this week thanks again for your support. 🙏 grt guido
Wat voor camera heb je nu? De om-1 is een fantastische camera en ik heb nog niet eens alle mogelijheden besproken in deze video. Ik weet zeker dat je er geen spijt van krijgt. Mocht je vragen hebben over instellingen dan kan je me altijd een bericht sturen! Bedankt voor het kijken en je reactie! Grt guido
I really appreciate you sharing the photos you've taken with the OM-1. I'd be curious to see the settings, including lens, you used for each. I'm always wondering what someone did to get the results they have. Sometimes it just gives you more context. Thanks for all the effort you put into this video. It's been inspiring to follow you on your journey with the camera.
Thank you very much. I realy appreciate you watching my video and leaving a comment. All the images that you've seen in this video are in my other videos thar came by over the past year. If there are any images that you are particularly interested in let me know witch one then I will look it up for you or show witch video it is in. Are you an om-1 user yourself? Where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater You're quite welcome. I'll give your video another watch when I have the chance, and definitely let you know which photos I'm curious about.
@@GuidoVanDeWater I've been shooting the Lumix G9 for just over a year now. Coming to it through the Leica V-Lux 114 (Lumix FZ1000) after turning in most of my full-frame Nikon gear upon retiring from my newspaper in Pensacola, Florida. I have the Panasonic/Leica 100-400mm and 8-18 lenses for bird photography and a small amount of interior photography. I think the G9 software upgrades have made that camera far more capable than many people believe but I was glad to see the new OM-1 has proven that MFT is not dead and is a real contender for photographers who want the results but not the bulk as proven by yourself and photographers like Daniel J. Cox.
Hi! Some stunning images - you have a great photographic eye. The OM-1 is a truly great camera - I love mine. I also use the beautiful PEN-F for street/city photography - another great camera!
Thank you for those kind words 🙂 I just try to do my best. yes it is a great camera and photography is not all about the camera ib my opinion it is much more about what you do with it. Make sure to keep that pen-f they are starting to become very popular and rare. Where are you from? Thanks for watching and commenting i realy appreciate it. Grt guido
@rhiwderinraytube ow that is nice. I recently chatted with someone who was also from that area he had stunning images. Your close to dartmoore national park also. Is that worth visiting? I've looked at that multiple times with Google maps it's a large area of nothing compared to the rest in that area. But with Google maps it is difficult to see if its realy nice for photography. Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Yes Dartmoor has some stunning granite rock outcrops called Tors and also an area of ancient original forest called Wistman’s Wood which is very photogenic. It is also an easy 1 hour drive or so to see the old tin mines on the Cornish coast.
You've put up a beautiful portfolio - especially your macro work! I appreciate your video and opinions, but I have to say I did a direct comparison between the OM-1 and my E-M1.3 in the store (on a tripod, so same shots with both cameras) at several moderate to high ISO settings and I have to say I really don't see a difference between the two sensors with respect to noise... maybe an ever so slight improvement in the shadows on the OM-1. I did not perform a dynamic range test. At any rate, these days software can do wonders to mitigate image noise, so I didn't get the OM-1. And as I have four E-M1 bodies that all use the same battery it annoys me that OM created yet another battery for the OM-1, and on top of that they don't include the battery charger with the camera! So, maybe I'll try one OM-1 at some point just because I could use the better video capabilities, but I don't see replacing all four bodies any time soon. Also, my advice to you is add some gain to your mic signal, and to reduce the volume of the background music that plays through your photos. Try to get the two levels to be the same. Cheers
Hi Tom, thanks for watching the video and your kind words. I have an em1x that was my main stills camera before the om-1 and I also had my doubts when they came with a other 20mp sensor. The em1mk3 that you own Is basically an em1x in a smaller body so it is a great camera. The noise is a little less on the om-1 but the biggest benefit for me is the dynamic range. Shooting landscapes in mostly low light conditions I realy noticed a huge difference in dynamic range. Its much easier to pull up the blacks compared to my em1x. Also the high res and live nd capability are amazing. When shooting in these modes noise almost dissapears completely. But I think the most important thing is that you are still satisfied with your current camera. I always say that there is no need to spend lots of money if you are satisfied with what you have. Who knows you can skip a model of buy one cheaper second hand. I do get what you mean with the battery's. I think the main reason is that the batteries are a lot more powerful and last longer. I actualy don't mind that there is no separate charger. There is a charger but it is to charge the batteries within camera. And this is the truth I have never chamhed one battery on location! I have never used all the power (2 batteries I use the grip) so I just plug in the cable and it charges again. But within landscapes you don't use much power. I guess it gets a bit different when shooting birds. But with my em1x I easily went trough 4 batteries on 1 day. Thanks for the tip on de microphone. I had to look up what the purpose is of your advice but I get it and sounds logical. I'm not sure I can change these settings on my dji osmo that I use for the vlogs. It's a small wireless transmitter that comes with the osmo but I'm deffinitly gonna look in to that. Anyways thanks again for your comment I realy apreciate it. Grt guido
A used OM-1 is inbound from MPB. I can't wait I have Nikon and Olympus cameras. The Nikons take great action shots and portraits, but they are HEAVY and bulky. I love MFT for grab and go photography. Also I ALWAYS buy a vertical grip. I have them for my D200, D500, D850, and E-M1 iii. Like you the first thing I am adding to the OM-1 is a vertical grip.
Ow nice hopefully you will enjoy that purchase but there is no doubt in my mind that says differently. I agree on the smaller part. I love the grip with my big hands and such a small camera it's feel realy comfortable. And the best thing is that if I'm going out with the family for a day I just detach the grip and use the 12-100 f4 pro lens. It's a very small and lightweight kid but so much power in it! Thanks for watching the video I realy appreciate your comment. Where are you from? Get guido
Thanks a lot for this very likable video with plenty of excellent images! I am also excited about this camera - I gave up my whole full frame Nikon Z- equipment for the OM-1 with some very versatile compact lenses (8-25/4, 40-150/4, 20/1.4, 60/2.8 Macro), and I do not look back! Kind regards from Switzerland.
Thank younfor the kind words. That is a very nice kit you have there. I'm actualy thinking about selling my 7-14 and buying the 8-25 you have. I do miss that I can't attach any filters in mine and I probably won't miss that 7mm. Wow Switzerland amazing country. Made 2 videos there a few weeks ago when on my way to Italy could easily have stayed more then a month. We're di you live in Swiss? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater I live in Burgdorf near Bern - the Bernese High Alps always in view. At the moment I am on vacation in the Upper Engadine, the most appealing Alpine landscape of our country in my view. I shoot mainly landscapes, forests and plants, and nature in general. But I also make reportages of and with people occasionally. The 8-25mm F4 is extremly versatile - you can operate at ridiculously close distances, to photograph flower heads for instance, but also take amazing landscape images.
I stayed near Interlaken for a view days. I'll remember your holiday spot who knows for my next trip 🙂 there are 2 videos online in case you would like to see my trip to your lovely country 😊 grt guido
Hello Markus! Welcome back in the mFT-System. I remember to hear from you some time ago as a member oft he oly-forum. I live in Burgdorf near Bern too and i think it cuold be interesting if we could exchange our toughts about photograpy. Since 2004 Olympus is my mainly used gear, but over the years i checked out most other brands and formats. The OM-1, wich i own since May 12 2023, is by far my favorit… If you are interested, i would be amused to hear from you…… Fritz Sommer, Eystrasse 9 I rede bärndütsch @@markusbolliger1527
Thank you very much. I hope you will enjoy the new camera! But as you've seen in the video I'm convinced this is going to be a great purchase. Where are you from? Thanks for watching the video and your comment I apreciate it 😀 grt guido
I am from Ireland. I mostly like to shoot landscape, however I have become a fan of shooting some local birds , plus I would like to try to shoot more Milky Way photos and I think this camera will do all of this very well. Look forward to checking out the rest of your videos. Many thanks!
@@ianmcmichael8799 I think it will be perfect for you. I think the best thing about the micro four third system is that because of the size and weight you can take all lenses with you and decide later what you want to shoot. There is never a compromise for me. Ireland wow that must be great for landscape photography. I've been wanting to go there for years but somehow It hasn't happend yet. I'm also a fan of u2 so maybe that's where the Irish interest comes from 😅 hope you will like the other videos. There's not star photography in them since the netherlands is the most dense populated country in Europe there is never a place without surrounding lights interfering. But I've seen images and videos about it and the om-1 is realy good at it. Thanks for you comment 👍 grt guido
Thanks I'm sure you won't be disappointed. All videos over the past year are shot with the om-1 so if you want some more examples just have a look around. What are you using right now? Grt guido
hello. yes i do mostly do birds and although i was using em 1 mark iii before i felt its a major upgrade in both focus and iq. its just i lost the 300 prime recently felt a bit sorry but the 100-400 mm and the 40-150 mm f2.8 + 1.4 TC are doing well so far. wish i can improve in landscape in the future.
Do you mean the lens is broken? Do you know om system maintained fixed repair prices? I belive it is about 272 euro and they will fix whatever is wrong with it. Just bring the lens to a dealer and they can send it to the repair center in Portugal. We'll I hope my channel will give you some nice ideas to improve your landscapes! Grt guido
Finally an OM-1 video for landscape photographers, I'm seriously seeking my APS-C gear off and moving onto M43 for my every day and just needed to see the kind of images I take with this system ... Thankyou 👌👍🙂
Thanks for watching the video. Happy to hear you liked it. I actualy don't know if there are many landscape videos out there using the om-1. But there are a lot of bird and wildlife users that is for sure. And it is a brilliant camera for landscapes but I actualy think that there are no bad cameras anymore these days. All my videos use the om-1 for landscapes so plenty of examples. Videos from before July 2022 use the em1x also very capable but a bit heavier and bigger camera. A good thing to share is that I have never come across a situation were the camera could not do the job properly. In my latest video there is some good examples of the om-1 high res mode and the live nd filter mode. Might be interesting to watch aswel. Anyway thanks for watching realy apriciate you taking the time to comment 🙂 where are you from? Grt guido
Some great images there Guido, I love my OM-1 but i did have some trouble with it after 6 mths of use, the lcd screen packed it in and just before that happened i got a shock off it when unplugging it from the wall socket ! Apart from that it has been magical to use specially for birds. I also do a lot of Macro and again its the perfect camera for that style of photography, look how many are changing to the system for Macro and Birds, the lens are so sharp that you don't need sharpening afterwards. I have shots indoor school plays and from a distance with the 40-150 F2.8 and the shots are fantastic ! If the rumors are true a firmware update to give us star tracking will be a game changer ! Cheers from a very wet and cold New Zealand, so off to Australia October for three weeks with the Two Mad Photographer's, well four days with them at OReillys and the rest of the time touring on our own !
That sounds like a great trip that you have planned there! Never heart about that problem before. Did you send it in for repairs and did they say what was wrong with it? Would not like being electrocuted by my camera. But I don't hear many complains technically and especialy with usage and image quality. The om-1 already has starry sky af but I think younrefer to something else? I'm don't photograph stars at all. Living in one of the dense populated county's in the world there is no possibility for star photography here. I realy have to travel for hours to find a spot that is dark enough. Hope I can visit Australia or New zeeland one day but its about thenmost expensive and far trip that I can take from the netherlands 😅 thanks for you comment and your support. Really appreciate it 🙏 grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater It was repaired under warranty here in NZ by an Olympus repair agent and haven't had any problems since. Yes the Starry sky is for focusing on the stars, its very good this is firmware to track the stars/milky way same as a tracker does but without having to take a tracker with you ! It would be a game changer agin for OM Systems !
I can imagine that is something realy amazing. I've seen videos on what people bring along to photograph stars. Hope that the rumour is true. I've seen rumours on new telephoto lenses online but nothing official yet so hoping for that 🤞 grt guido
Thank you very much. Yeah I feel very fortunate about last year. And I even left out a couple of amazing images because the on location videos were not releases yet. So the start of the second year is also very good. Hopefully everybody watching will take a bit of all my tips, tricks so we can all push the photography to the next level 😀 grt guido
Your images are outstanding, and you are bless with a really good understanding of light. The OM-1 is truly an amazing camera -- especially in the hands of an amazing photographer. 🙂
@@GuidoVanDeWater I live in Austin, Texas. I'm a retired professional photographer (portraits, weddings, and corporate events), and now spend a lot of my time photographing birds, wildlife, and scenic beauty. I just recently acquired the OM-1, but also have an E-M1X, and a Pen-F -- all excellent cameras. I'm impressed with the way you use light and fog/mist to create mood in your images. Nice work!
@@gregm6894someone recently told me that there wasn't a of landscape possibility in texts with all kind sof different habitats. Have never been there myself but who knows someday... I always try to work with the light that is available. I came home disappointed many times but because I planned a specific shot. Then I stopped planning and just wandered around areas and trying to use the light on any given subject. And somehow that way I just found much more good photographs. And I love those moody mornings... if you like beautiful light, fognand atmosphere then make sure to watch my Sundays on location videos the next few weeks. Been having some amazing trips on moody foggy mornings. Grt guido
Such beautiful pictures! The one at 16:20 from Cap Dramont is perfect. Seeing all this amazing images just reminds me yet again that great photography is more photographer and good lens than frame size. Cheers from Spain! Pd: The Instagram link in the description seems to be wrong. I found your ig from your website instead.
Thank you for your kind words I realy apreciate it. And I totaly agree its not about the camera that much. There are no bad cameras only super good and super super good. It's all about training the photographer to look for the right images and be out in the right conditions. That cap dranobt shot was indeed a great moment. One of my favorite moments this year. If you're ever around there it is definitely worth a visit. Where do you live in Spain? Just watchibg some videos from andalusia looks amazing! Thanks for bringing that instagram problem to my attention I will look into it Greetings guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater The UK, near Wales - my Sony a6000 is no longer made, but it's served me well for over ten years, so much so, that I bought a second body to accommodate my E mount lens collection.
@hjones451 that is a nice area. It's a strange world isn't it. You have something that is satisfying your needs and then suddenly they stop producing it. Happend to me a couple of times. Hope the second body will serve you well for some time 🙏 grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater I am from Nepal. I owned a few MFT cameras and was interested what OM-1 has to offer. Regardless of the gear, it is the photographer's experience and visualization which is most important. Feel free to check out my channels for camera gears I use. Cheers and Subscribed!
@@GuidoVanDeWater Yes Nepal is a dream come true for landscape photographer. I make some travel videos on RUclips sharing the beauty of my country here: ruclips.net/user/nepal360 BTW I have not tried OM-1 would love to use it for sure but I have my Lumix setups currently.
Beautiful works!!! I love mine as well and after over a year still no dust even when I took video at F22. Still need to learn how to do decent landscape or macro photography. I am mostly into wildlife and family vacation type of photos. For me 20MP is enough. I would ike to see it has much more buffer and video AF improvement. Cheers!!!
Thank you very much. It's amazing right. Never Had a camera that had not even 1 dustspot after a year. And I never had a camera that I used so intensive. If your into wildlife mostly then I get that you want more buffer. Can never have enough of that. If you want to improve your landscapes then I hope you've subscribed because that is what this channel is all about. I shoot 80 to 90 percent landscapes. I have this goal that I want to be able to take a decent picture at any given condition and so far it's going prety nice. Where are younl from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Yes, I subscribed as soon as I finished watching the footage :-). I am in the US but travel frequently to Thailand as well as Europe.
Us and thailand that are some stunning county's for photography. Haven't veen to thailand yet but who knows in the future. Thank dor subscribing really appreciate it. Grt guido
I actualy tought the same I had (still have it as second camera) an em1x. But when I started to use the om-1 it was very clear that the improvement was amazing. Yes the sensor is also 20mp just like the em1x but the amount of dynamic range is so much better. Viewfinder is very clear and realistic and focusing is way better then on the 1x. OM system has a test and wow system if you want to try it for yourself you cab get one on loan for a couple of days so you cab make your own opinion. But the most important is that when you are still satisfied with your current camera of course there Is never a need to upgrade 🙂 where are you from? Thanks for watching the video. Grt guido
Thank you, Guido! I'm considering moving from Canon to OM System with the OM-1! This review is very helpful! More importantly, I love the photos you showed! Your eye for mood, color, simplicity and subect is amazing! Yes, the camera is great, but it's more about the person than the machine! I will be following your work!
Thank you very much. Those are kind words 😀 Yes you are right in the end I am convinced that the camera or lens doesn't give you better images. It the experience and time that you invest in it. I'm happy to see that you like my work and find it useful. Have a nice weekend. Grt guido
Haha thank you very much. Yeah these images are nice but some of the flying birds are shot during a show and are not wild animals. That makes it a bit easier to take these shots. But it was an excellent opertunity to test the camera with these conditions. It made me confident enough to know that I can capture any bird if I encounter one in the wild. But most of the times I shoot them sitting somewhere 🤣 thanks for watching the video. Are you an om-1 user yourself? And what subject do you like to photograph? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Yes, I've had the OM-1 for about a month now, so I'm just beginning to "find my way". Since I already had the BMPCC4K for filming, the choice for an MFT still camera was pretty obvious.
Thank you that is a great compliment 😊 there are plenty of videos online and I'm not planning on stopping for now. Hope you will like more videos 🙂 where are you from? Grt guido
When I read lindenhurst i tought that sounds german haha. Long island wow is that a good location for landscape photography? I imagine a very crowded area. Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Hi Guido, Actually, Lindenhurst was settled by many Germans back in the day, I guess that's why the German sounding name. Oh yes, a lot of beach's here on Long Island and many parks and on the East end many wineries.....its a beautiful place to live but expensive, lol. I found you on IG and started following you.
@robb8773 sounds like a nice place indeed. I always see it on television as a place where the rich and famous live or spend they're holidays so it must be expansive indeed haha. What camera do you use? Also an olympus / om system user? Grt guido
Thank you. I think the flying birds, the live nd shots and some of the HD shots would have been difficult on a different camera. At least for me. But its a difficult question haha. I guess we will never know the real answer to that. Thanks for the compliments. Grt guido
Thank you 🙂 If your still satisfied with the mark 3 then you can always wait. I haven't heard any news about an om-1 mark 2 yet so far. But the om-1 came as a surprise aswell so who knows we will be in for a treat. Where are you from? Grt guido
Hello from India !! Great images !! I am new to MFT world which lens do you recommend for nature, birds and landscape? Any zoom to try economical way ? I used Nikon D500 and 300 f4 for birds. Thank you - Rahul Deshpande
Welcome to the system and to my channel 🙂 the best lenses are always the pro series lenses. These lenses are all realy good. The only question is then wich focal range you prefer. I always like the 40-150 f2.8 pro a lot but the focal range might be a bit tight for birds. So maybe adding a 100-400, 300 r 150-600 for birds might be a good idea then. There is also some none pro lenses with foodnfocalmranges for bird like the 75-300. Hope you will find a good fit for your needs. Thanks for watching! Grt guido
I am using a Canon R6 and a Canon 90d. There great no complaints except maybe weight. I just like the ergonomics and. the end results. I have a 24-70 f2 lense that weighs more than the om-1 with 40-100. Thanks for the very informative videos and the excellent images.
@@thomasphillips5850 I guess there are no bad cameras anymore these days but cameras have different advantages compared to another. I guess the size and weight are a great advantage of the om system / olympus cameras. Because of it I don't have to decide what I want to photograph I can do whatever I want and adapt to the conditions. Can I see some of your images somewhere? Always nice to see what other create 🙂 grt guido
Thank you very much. I think both cameras are great updates coming from an em10mk2. The question is what you want to achieve with photography. Do you want to travel light and do you want something you cary along easy then the om5 is great. But the image quality, handling and lots of options are much better of the om-1. But that comes with a whole different price tag. The biggest question is how serious you want to do photography. If you have bigger plans then spending more bow wil prevent you from another upgrade in the future. But with both cameras you can take great images! What's your favorite subject to photograph? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater thanks for you kind reply and greetings from Barcelona. In fact, I am quite used to the small size of the EM10 for travel, landscape etc. I have this camera dedicated for macro as I own the 60m plus diffuser, external flash and raynox. I do bracketing so I appreciate focus stacking but not esencial to me. So my main aim is a camera for overall photography. Maybe I do not need the extra feautures of the OM1 as extended nd filter or extended focus stacking but I wonder if longer lenses fit also well with the OM5 due to its smaller size. All in all and also price I think Om5 seems right for me as I said it would be landscape, travel, street photography etc
Barcelona nice... do you know moises? He is a great ambassador in Spain and always happy to help. His instagram account is @photomoisho. He lives right on the corner from you somewhere close to Barcelona. Sounds like the om-5 would be right for you. I'm not the biggest macro specialist out there so ik not sure wich camera is the best for those subjects. There are 2 videos on my channel where I tested the 90mm Pro macro maybe interesting for you also. Indo know a lot of macro photographer changed to the om-1 might be because of the focus stacking capability. If you want to shoot landscapes the honest answer is that the sensor in the om-1 is a bit better in low light conditions. I think om system has recently launched a test and wow in Spain. If you want to try wich one suits you best they send you a camera for a view days so you can try it. I believe its free but the program doesn't run in the netherlands yet so I don't know all the details. I know Spain is one of the try put country's. Maybe have a look at the website. The best decision is one we're you tested it and made your own opinion 😀 grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater thank you so much. I will contact Moises as he is in my area, you are right that i definetely should try on my own the performance of these cameras so to have the right decision. Much appreciated for your help and good advice. all the best
I don't think that will ever happen because it doesn't suit the philosophy of portable lightweight cameras. And to be honest I don't miss it at all with the current technology's I much rather prefer that portability. Thanks for watching the video I apreciate it. Grt guido
I think think the hdr-1 and hdr-1 work perfectly. I sometimes use it deliberately because of that in my opinion excellent noise reduction. If I want to shoot a scene a bit on the darker side then I know noise appears so I use the hdr. When there is no wind and the scene looks realy promissing I always shoot hdr scenes. For me the moment when I start to bracket is when I can't get the dynamic range ge into one shot. That's when I make brackets but with brackets you loose the bigger files compared to the hdr in body. So recently I did a couple of brackets with in nobody hdr shots. Insane results and extremely large files 😅 you do need a very fast computer because processing them takes the maximum amount of memory 🤣 but I can't say that I use one or the other more often. Depend on the scene and on my mood 🙂 grt guido
Amazing censor cleaning tech since the beginning og four-thirds system. I have had E-300, E-500, E-1, E-3, EMD 1, and now OM-1, and have never seen any dustspost whatsoever. However, in 2014 I was lucky to borrow a Leica M (240), and to my horror all images were filled with dustspots. I happily returned to my Olympus gear.
It is right! I only cleaned the sensor of my e-3 once. But that was after I visited Namibia and could not resist changing lenses in a windy dessert 😅 but that was the only time. Happy to see I'm not the only one noticing it 🙂 thanks for watching and your comment 🙂 grt guido
The subject recognision works way better with just AF-c+subjekt rec (not AF-c +tracking+subject rec). The tracking mode on all Olympus cameras isn´t working properly).
Thanks for the heads up here. Like i said bird photography isn't my main focus in photography. I will test your advice when i have the opportunity. I honestly don't know if there is a big difference and you probably have much more experience with birds so I believe you. Thanks for the comment. Where are you from? I have some family in Denmark with the same surname 🙂 grt guido
Productive year with that system! Wonderful images and glad to follow along your journey with it. How to become a brand ambassador? 😂 I should bug Sony on it someday 🤣
I actualy have no idea how that happened. I started the channel and a couple of months later I got an email that they wanted to meet me. First I tought it was a joke but it wasn't haha. Thing went realy fast from that point on. Thanks for watching hope this journey will last for some time 🙂 grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Honestly, how it is to be an ambasador? Just curirous. You are a nice person. It is like they tell you what you have to do, or they've told you that as an ambasador you need to move around the world countries for the OM events? Or it's rather that you just keep your conent there, and you got paid for that? I know the rest are to push the brand forward so you need a little to advertise the user and don't work on detriment of the company, but have you ever beeing told that you MUST to fly or move around the events too? That's very interesting. If you are able to say just anything would be so nice 😀
Well to be honest it isn't all of that. You have to see it more as a mutual sign of respect. They promote me and I promote them. I don't get payed by them to say or promote anything. If I help them out on a foto fair there is a fee depending on how long you work for them. But untill now I have only done these in the netherlands. Every country has his own group of ambassadors and since the netherlands I small no planes are involved. The is a small group of world wide ambassadors 5 or 10 for them it's probably a bit different. But for me it's just an honer to be acknowledged by the brand that I've use for years. And it's given me the chance to promote myself more and reach a wider range of public. Who knows someday I will donaomrthibg outside of the country but I honestly have no clue on how they select these kind of trips. Where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Thank you! That made it really clear. 😀Answering your question I am from Poland and I expect there are some polish abasadors. I mean.. I am pretty sure I watched some polish videos with polish OM ambasadors (or even he was an actuall technical worker for OM), but honestly world of photography is so wide, that it is really hard to know EVERY name of a photographer even from your own country.. (it's not a Football World Cup to know who's Messi or who is Memphis Depay.. 😂) And to gear, If I could go for the system, that would be exactly OM system or any Fullframe brand. I actually started this year with Sony A6400 and 200-600 mm. If I had to say "Am I happy with it?" I'd answer that I am not unhappy, but I would not like to stay with it for a longer period. That's a good gear, but in certain situations... You better have fullframe or MFT. For example in wildlife, APS-C can handle worse some situations than you would do with MFT or Fullframe, because on higher ISO you lose a colours and details (let's say 12,800 ISO is good for todays denoise programs but you still lose information) and you could handle the same ISO with noise as it would be iso 6400 on fullframe or like 4000-6400 ISO on MFT (because of compensation with lower shutter speed ability like 1/40 + good stabilization and good light with like 300 mm F4 pro - of course with 1/60 I am not talking about fast moving subject just about ISO handle). To get faster aperture you need to pay x3 in Sony lenses, and to shoot 1/60 with any Sony lens? Good luck to have one good photo at that range... 😂 So back to the beggining, it's really an honour to be just an ambasador - moneys aside. That's an achivement a lot of people would like to have! I am going to switch my gear next year. And we will see which way, because seems like I am going to monetize my work seriously, so as a future portrait photographer it's going to be a fullframe, or OM1. If I ever had OM1 all I need are 4 lenses: 17 f1.2 pro, 45 f1.2 pro, 300 mm f4 pro and 60 mm f2.8 macro. Fullframe is a little wide in brand so it needs to be carefully chosen not sure about which certain lens would be on my way yet.
Its exactly that... i find it a great honor to be part of this team. And they are all supportive and nice people. There are a number of polish ambassadors on the website. I don't know any of them personally but if you ever want to change you can always send them or me a message of you want some advice. OM system is rolling out a new test and wow system. You can then just test a camera you are interested in for a few days without costs. So if you have your doubts make sure to check that out might be helpful. Anyways thanks for watching and your great comment. Realy appreciate it. Grt guido
I use a wide range of lenses but my most used lenses are the 12-40 f2.8 Pro, 40-150 f2.8 Pro and the 100-400 f5-f6.3 but I also use the 7-14 f2.8 Pro fornthe extreme wide angle shots and the 60mm macro. I recently added a 300mm f4 prime witch I made a video about last week. Might be interesting to watch. Thanks for watching and your kind words I apreciate it! Where are you from?
Hello, Guido, many thanks for a very instructive and beautifully illustrated video. I'm on the edge of buying this camera and would be grateful if you could say something about the lenses you used for both your landscape and bird photos. Also, do you miss the slightly less bourke you get because of the four-thirds sensor's depth of field?
Hello Gerry, thanks for watching the video. Happy to hear that you found it helpful. Most of my landscape shots are done with the 12-40 f2.8 pro, 40-150 f2.8 Pro or the 100-400 f5-6.3 is. Most of the bird shots in that video are done with the 40-150 f2.8 pro or the 300mm f4 ( i don't own that lens but borrowed it for a trip. If you do lot sof bird then I think that lens is amazing. And the 150-400 is also amazing but at almost 8000 euro that is a different price range. I don't miss the dept of field myself and I think that the difference is much less then everyone think it is. The lenses that om system makes are amazing and I think you can adapt to that difference. For landscapes it's even an advantage because usualy you want as much sharp as possible in the frame. Where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Hello, Guido, many thanks for your full response that's very helpful. I live in SW France working for the Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in the UK. I'm attached to their Benelux Chapter through which I've had a photo selected to show at the Pelt Exhibition. In time I'd love to come to Holland for a workshop with you.
The south west of France is a bit of a blind spot for me. Are there any nice areas for landscape photography? I've never heard of that photographic society gonna look it up tomorow sound great. If you ever in the netherlands of want to go there feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help you out. Workshop would be awsome just contact me and I will see what I can do. Grt guido
Fascinating photos, This equipment is amazing - it's true. Do you have any experience with Hi Res on a tripod with studio lighting? I'm asking because I get soft photos (Hi rest handheld in the same conditions is very sharp) and I'm looking for a solution.
Hello, thanks for watching the video and your comment. In the second tab of thr menu you can find the high res activation screen. You can als say if you handhold the shot or use a tripod. Did you adjust that? The camera has to know that it is on a tripod there to get the nest results. I don't have any experience with studio work unfortuatly but I get that it cab be a great feature for that. If this isn't it then I guess I don't know what could be the issue here. Did you turn ofninage stabilisation on the tripod? Grt guido
They are both great cameras. I think it all depends on what you want to do with it and what your experience is. If you are not to demanding and you want a good camera that is small then the om-5 is great. For example lots of streat photographers use is. I you want a camera that allows you to use every available gimmick at the moment and can take every shot that you could wish for then the om-1 is the way to go. I personally love the om-1 because of its ergonomics and amazing features. So that would be my choice. What's you're experience in photograohy and what do you want to photograph? Grt guido
Dag beste Guido Bedankt voor deze mooie en duidelijke video. De hoge resolutie foto’s vind ik het mooiste, de rest kan volgens mij echt wel beter. de Live ND functie is een erg mooie. Ik overweeg, om deze camera naast mijn canon Full frame te gaan gebruiken. Het hoge gewicht en de toren hoge prijzen van canon lenzen lopen helaas voor mij de spuigaten uit. Wat doe je aan de fotobewerking met betrekking tot de ruis?. Met vriendelijke groet
Leuk dat je de video gekeken hebt. Ik doe eigenlijk niet zo heel veel aan ruis onderdrukking. Ik probeer het histogram naar de lichte kant te houden en in situaties waar ik weet dat ruis een issue is gebruik ik de high res foto's. De high res foto's zijn meestal zo goed al ruis vrij. Bij de overige foto's gebruik ik de ouderwetse slider in lightroom en heel af en toe een keer topaz deboise. De meeste winst zit hem naar mijn mening vooral in het vooraf bedenken hoe je ruis kan voorkomen. Maar eerlijk gezegd ben ik niet iemand die ruis super erg vind. Stoor me er vaak niet zo aan. Ik snap wel wat je bedoeld full frame lensen zijn we van een andere prijsklasse. Ik ben er echter wel van overtuigd dat de pro serie lensen absoluut dezelfde kwaliteit halen dus als je een om-1 wil aanschaffen dan zou ik zeker daar voor kiezen. Wat fotografeer je zelf vooral? Je zegt dat je de high res foto's de mooiste vind en dat de rest beter kan. Bedoel je dan mijn foto's of doel je meer op waar de camera toe instaat is? Gewoon even nieuwsgierig of ik het goed interpreteer 😅 Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater hoi Guido Bedankt voor je reactie. De eerste foto’s vond ik niet zo erg bijzonder. De High Res foto’s vond ik weer wel erg mooi. De Pro lenzen van Olympus zijn zeer goed, en kunnen zich meten met de full frame lenzen van Canon en de andere grote merken of zijn zelfs beter. Ik twijfel nog over de aanschaf van het Om-systeem, dat heeft te maken met de ruis problematiek door de kleine censor .Ik overweeg, om de 150-400 met een Om-1 body te kopen en deze naast mijn Canon set bestaande uit de R3 met een Rf 100- 500 met 1.4 converter te gaan gebruiken, en te gaan ervaren hoe mij dat bevalt. Ik heb me in ieder geval op je kanaal geabonneerd. Met vriendelijke groet
Als je een om-1 met 150-400 neemt praat je ook nog over stevige investeringen trouwens. Minder dan vergelijkbaar van Canon natuurlijk. Wat fotograaf je zelf graag? Kan ik ergens wat foto's zien? Ben wel nieuwsgierig eigenlijk. Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater goedemorgen Guido Ik ben eigenlijk niet actief op het internet wat betreft het plaatsen van foto’s. Door dat ik nog een ander hobby heb ( High - Eind Audio ) waar ik momenteel erg veel mee bezig ben Oa met puinruimen en verbeteringen in mijn audio systeem aan het door voeren ben, komt er van fotograferen niet al te veel terecht. Mijn laats foto’s dateren al weer van 3 maanden geleden. Toch hoop ik op niet al te lange termijn het fotograferen weer wat vaker te kunnen gaan doen. Is erg leuk om mee bezig te zijn. Het hoge gewicht van mijn combi ( de R3 met de RF 100-500 met 1.4 extender ) weegt 2,8 kg en als dat aan je schouder hangt is dat best pittig met wandelingen van 1 uur of langer. Wat ik ook een dingetje vind is de F waarden van F10 of hoger op het maximale tele bereik ( 700 mm ) van deze combi, en dan nog moet ik flink bijsnijden bij kleine vogeltje als de graspieper of puttertje. Je houd dan foto’s van 3 mg pixels over, en dat is niet veel. De foto’s blijven wel rag scherp en detail rijk. Ik ben ook aan het kijken naar canon 200-500 F/4 die aan het eind van het jaar wordt verwacht . Maar het prijs kaartje zal in Nederland zo rond de €20.000 zijn schat ik. Tel daarbij dat je er ook nog een nieuw te verwachte teleconverter bij komt die ook niet goedkoop zal zijn, en ook het hoge verwachte gewicht van deze combinatie , en de ramp is compleet. Hoogste tijd dus om verder te gaan kijken . Om-systems is dan een mogelijke optie. Voordelen zijn. Meer tele Bereik , lagere aanschafprijs , lager gewicht. Nadelen mindere resolutie en door de kleinere censor last van ruis . Met vriendelijke groet.
Hi, nice review but above all great photographs! I wanted to ask you what you think of the jpeg of this camera. Are the colors beautiful? If you want, can you use that directly? Do the shadows seem too harsh to you? bye thank you
I have never had any problems with the jpg files comming out of the camera. The colours in my opinion of om system / olympus are just amazing but that can also be a matter of taste. but I always prefer to shoot raw so that I can adjust anything if needed. And yes you can use jpg directly out of camera if you would want that.thabks for watching and your kind words I realy apreciate it. Grt guido
I'm not someone with experience in portrets. I know people that take amazing portrait shots. Especialy the fast prime lenses like the 45mm 1.2 and 75mm 1.2. The brands main goal is outdoor/ nature photograohy but I don't see a reason why it should not be possible to take stunning portrait shots. Thanks for watching. I know that jimi cheng takes some portraits try looking for him on youtube. Grt guido
Very nice! I finally ordered one 3 days ago. The only downside so far is that they sent it (from OM-System, Hamburg) as standard mail without any tracking. This is very strange for something of that value. Hopefully it will soon show up 😊. The last few months, I have been shooting birds early in the morning, and the combination of low light, high shutter speeds and a slow telephoto lens is not great for the E-M1 II
I'm sure the om-1 will do much better in low light and specialy the bird tracking works amazing. In my opinion this camera is a small but very capable camera on any subject. Strange indeed that they don't use tracking. I usualy get a tracking code when it's send out. Is it on the way already? I once order a new lens from 1200 euro. It got delivered when I wasn't home. There was a little not in my mailbox saying that he put the box underneath met car that was in the driveway 😱 swnd a complain to the mail company but of course they never responded. Luckely nobody found it and I didn't just drove of with my car when I got back home. Thanks for watching the video hope you will recieve the camera soon! Grt guido
@@KimHojbergJensen I would highly recommend John Greengo's video course on the OM-1. It includes 19 video sessions covering everything in and on the camera. Very well explained and illustrated -- great graphics and in-studio live demos on the various features and functions. He is a wonderful photographer, and very knowledgeable.
I think what i meand was that I can immediately see the final image in my mind when I look through at the screen. Thanks for watching and for bringing this to my attention. I'll always try to prevent mistakes like this, but sometimes they slip through. Grt guido
The cpl is about the only filter that I use. Specialy on days when everything is wet I use it to reduce those reflections on leafs. Or on a day with a bit boring colours I use it to enhance the colours. Specialy in autumn the filter is extremely powerful! But the quality is very diverse... so it's better to I vest a bit more. The cheapest option sometimes give strange colours on don't work good enough. Thanks for watchibg the video. Grt guido
I've heard gppd stories about the one from Phil Norton. You can find it here : www.philnortonphotographyblog.co.uk/product/olympus-714-adapter I've never used it myself. I don't own any filters for this lens at the moment. I'm actually considering buying the 8-25 because of that.
Hoi bedankt voor je camera. Ik refereer niet nasr een em 1 maar naar een om-1 er is maar 1 type om-1 op dit moment. Mijn oude camera die ik in het begin ernaast hou is een em1x. De om-1 waar deze video over gaat is de opvolger van de em1 serie en staat dus eigenlijk weer een stapje daar boven. Wat voor camera gebruik je zelf? Groetjes guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Ik gebruik zelf een Nikon Z6 ii na ca 3 jaar met een Z6. Ik konkureer jaarlijks met mijn broer in Canada die de Olympus gebruikt en hij imponeert wel. Voor de Nikon had ik ook een Olympus maar dat model was me te klein en ik had daarom veel moeite de juiste knoppen te vinden en de Video imponeerde niet. Ik zie nu dat de nieuwe models wat groter zijn. Dank voor je antwoord. Groeten Evert Ravenshorst
De nieuwe modellen zijn iets groter dan dan de em1 serie maar nog steeds een stuk kleiner dan de nikon. Ik moest daar in het begin ook wel even aan wennen maar uiteindelijk vond ik het kleine formaat juist alleen een voordeel. Wel leuk dat je toch onder de indruk bent van wat je broer maakt met de olympus. Kan ik eens wat foto's van jou zien? Ben wel nieuwsgierig wat u maakt 🙂 grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Sorry, een laat antwoord. Heb nu ook een OM 1 gekocht en mijn Nikon Z6 II ingeruild. Het is even wennen vwb het menu systeem, dus veel lezen en fotograferen. Groeten Evert Ravenshorst.

I'm thinking of jumping ship from Sony, the OM1 is top of my wish list - Is there a particular lens to pair it with that works best for landscape? There seems to be a few that cover 12-xx mm (24mm FF upwards) but going to 40mm or 100mm and so on. I need something better than 'kit' lens status
I have only seen the OM-1 being offered alone, or in a kit with the 12-40mm f2.8 Pro II lens, which is an absolutely stellar lens, as it is in their Pro-grade of lenses.
Thabks for watching the video. Im sure you will love the om-1 if you decide to jump into it I use the 12-40 f2.8 Pro and the 40-150 f2.8 Pro for 80 percent of my landscape images. If you want to go wider I can recommend the 8-24 f4 Pro and if you want a one lens option the 12-100 f4 Pro is also a very capable lens. Shooting landscape usualy means we rarely come beneath f4. If your into start photography then the 2.8 will be a better choice. Hope I helped you out a little if you have any more questions please feel free to contact me at any time. Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater That's brilliant help, thank you! I think the 12-40 would cover my range as a main lens, but I do like a bit of wildlife as well as cropping in on some landscapes, so anything in the 300mm (600mm equiv) would also be great. I'm not sure some of the older Olympus lenses would be up to the task (I dont have the budget for the 150-400)
I have the 100-400 f5 - f6.3 it is a great lens for the amount of wildlife that I photograph. You can also look for the 300 f4 Pro prime but that is almost double the money of the 100-400. You also look for a 40-150 with a 2x teleconverter you loose a little bit of sharpnes at the long end but then you have and excellent zoom for a bit closer and the ability to reach those distant subjects if needed. And no problem happy I can help 🙂 grt guido
Amazing photographs. It’s unfortunate this system doesn’t get as much love as offerings from other brands. I wouldn’t be able to tell any of your photos apart from full frame top of line alternatives.
Thank you very much. I do agree that the system is a bit under appreciated. I did a photo trip with the photography club that I am with a while ago. During the trip we all took almost the same images. A week later we were at the club and everybody showed the images on the large screen and nobody could see the difference. That screen was created with a high ress beamer and shown on approximately 3x2 meter size so that proved to me that there isn't a single camera system out there at the moment that can't do the trick. What camera do you use yourself? Are you from parma? Grt guido
That's a nice camera also. If you ever want to try it have a look on the om system website. They are unrolling a new test and wow system across different country's at the moment. They send a kit that suits you to your home and you can test it for a couple of days to set your own experience with it. After that you send it back to them without costs. Can I see some of your images somewhere? Always like to see what people watching this channel ate interested in 🙂 Grt guido
@@parmanduke I thought I'd chime in as I've had a bit of a similar experience. I tried out the X-H2s at the same time as the OM-1. I ended up keeping the OM-1. It is slightly lower resolution, but the IQ is so high, especially with the pro lenses, and there's just something about the jpegs out of the camera that are special. I suppose it's like how some people love the Fuji looks. Olympus definitely has its own look. Granted, I really liked the images out of the Fuji. It was a difficult decision to be sure. In the end, I opted for the OM-1 as I already had a Panasonic and some M43 lenses. So it made sense for me. These stacked sensor cameras really are another level. I'm surprised people don't give them more credit. They cost a lot, but compared to their full frame equivalents they're relatively reasonable.
I'm still surprised every day by the image that this camera produces. Specialy yhe dynamic range is amazing compared to other m43 cameras. And when using high res shots or love nd for example I'm prety sure that it can compare to full frame easily. Ik actualy trying to make a video about the image quality difference between normal / livend and high res photos. I was so surprised how the camera manages to create absolute noise free images. I just wonder what the next step will be for om system since Panasonic has made a 25.6ml sensor ij they're new camera I'm sure that we will get something simular in the future but then back-lit. Thanks for your feedback I apreciate it 😀 grt guido
Er zaten volgens mij sel 1 of 2 foto's uit amsterdam bij ja. Doe niet heel veel straat fotografie maar af en toe wel leuk 🙂 bedabkt voor het kijken! Grt guido
Stunning images, general opinion is that the image quality is only very marginally better and in some instances actually worse than the EM1 mk3, guess its better to wait until they actually change the sensor. The OM is bigger, heavier and a little bit faster in processing, but thats all. I think the new iteration is a great disappointment. My EM1 mk3 will do absolutely fine for me until we see some real innovation from OM, not just a rebranding exercise.
Thanks for watching the video. I do agree that the image quality isn't worse or better then your em1mk3. I never owned that camera but it is the same sensor as the em1x that I used. The dynamic range however increased a lot compared to the em1x and the high ress images are way better. I also prefer the oled voewfinder on the om-1. So there are some benefits but everyone has to decide for themselves If that is enough to change the camera. I totaly understand if you say that you're happy with what you have 😀 I believe this tis he last year that they are allowed to use the olympus name so I thibk after this year the whole rebranding process will be over and they will start releasing new stuf. where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Look, your images are fantastic so there is no doubting your dedication and your skills, but as you know its usually about the guy behind the camera rather than the camera itself. I would be the first to admit that the new OM is better in many ways, but is it really that much about an incremental improvement. Some would say that modern cameras have actually become too clinical and the magic of the image is being lost. I have just got back from Cambodia and I shot with my OMD EM5 mk2 which uses my M.Zuiko primes and and my OMD EM1 uses my 40-150 f2.8 and both with the 16mp sensors. So long as you shoot in RAW and know how to post process you can deliver the image. Its never about absolute quality its more about the experience and your own personal ability. I also have a Sony A7R3 with the 45mp sensor which I use only for portrait work and the images are so much cleaner and more punchy than any m4/3 camera, but I still have beautiful portraits taken with the 16mp sensor which on liners still comment on today. And when I compare the 16mp to the 20mp, yea there is something there but not actually that much. What I am alluding to, its not about the camera, although a good lens is always a good thing to have, its about you, your own journey and your own enjoyment, at the end of the day no one really give a stuff about your pictures anyway. You are not an artist. The only true artists start with a blank piece of paper or a solid block of rock, now those guys you can truly admire.
@zardosspinosa6944, wow, you nailed this post, and I can't do anything else and then agree with you 🙂 I always say to people that they should take photographs for themselves. If you don't like your own images, then why do photographybat all? So if other people like them also that is nice of course, but you should not take pictures in a way that other like them. So I guess that kind of resembles what you mentioned 😃 can I see some of your work somewhere? Interested to see what you produce 🙂 grt guido
You can still crop byt bot as much as full frame. Unless you use the high ress mode when you get 80mp files then there is plenty of space to crop. But i often crop a normal image to a 3x2, 16x9 or 1x1 and sti) there is plenty of pixels left to make large prints. But if you be more accurate in the field with your composition it prevents cropping and saves pixels. I even think it makes you consider compositions more while in the field. Every negative had its positive and the other way around. What camera do you use? Grt guido
I actualy paid the normally prices for all of my gear. Only became an ambassador after I bought the om-1. Recently gotnto test the 90mm macro Pro but had to return it and if I want to have I still have to buy it myself. I guess the happy days of getting everything for free are over unfortunatly.
@@GuidoVanDeWater My apologies to you; I "assumed"! See, your reviews now have more weight to them -- knowing that you bought all your own gear. Thanks for sharing!
No problem at all. I get that it is a bit strange since I'm an ambassador but like I said this my honest opinion and because I bought it before I became an ambassador I can say that this is a decision that I made for myself and I had all the same dilemas as everyone else making the decision 🙂 where are you from? What camera do you use? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater I have an OM-1, EM-1 mkiii, and (2) EM-1's, plus an array of lenses: _Just_ got the 12-100 f4 for outdoor Wedding use (Already have the f2.8 zooms + the 75mm f1.8) ... (like to see the "FF" guys do _that_!) + trio of f1.8's + others -- working to build a kit for Weddings. Oh, I live in Illinois.
That sounds like a serious kit! I have the om-1 and an em1x as backup but I never use it. Thinking about selling it and buying something smaller that I can take with me for filming. Do you plan on become a wedding photographer profesional? Or just on occasion? I tried it a few times but I figured that it just isn't my cup of tea. It can make some great income but I just don't like the stress that can come with it. Grt guido

I love those pictures taken on owls, esp the movement n details on the bird captured by OM-1 are just amazing 🤩

Thank you Guido
I was an Olympus shooter. Got rid of the OMD EM1 and 5 and went to Canon full frame. Now, its just too heavy and cumbersome. Im selling off my 5d 4 and Sr and going back to Olympus to the OM1. They have changed enough to bring me back in. Your video pushed me over the edge.
PS
My wife is from the Netherlands
Thanks for watching. It was great to see that you found the video useful. All my videos are shot with the om-1 and om-1mk2 (earlier version em1x), so if you want some more examples, then check some out 🙂 I'm sure you will love the om-1! Ow, that's great we're did your wife live and we're are you living now? Thanks for watching and your comment. I really appreciate it! Grt guidk
She's from Deventer 😊 we're in the States unfortunately. Taking care of my mother. We're moving back to Nederland when we're not needed here.
@rentedtux1883 ah nice city! Do you prefer living in the netherlands above living in the States? Lots of people would think otherwise. Guess it all depends on where you live in the States.
I love the Netherlands and would much rather be there. I love everything about it.
We'll be back there sometime
@rentedtux1883 of you get back here then let me know who knows we can do some photograohy together someday! Where are you located in the States?
A nice yearly review of pictures and experiences! While I cannot comment all the pictures I thought that I would comment some particularly those that I might have missed or not seen in previous videos: hope this is ok....
05:15 Depth. Light. Feels like I am there with the photographer.
05:55 Very nice indeed with layers. The bright vivid colors in the foreground and then the transition to the more muted in the background.
08:45 I struggle to capture insects and birds in good compositions and settings. I would be proud having this one in my portfolio. Also later in the video you have a section devoted to birds and birds in flight but I feel I cannot comment being a novice in this area.
08:55 Excellent! Rather different from most of the previous pictures: dark. The contrast between the leaves and the yellow brown (?pine needles?) and the rest if really appealing to me.
09:15 Just lovely.
09:25 So much atmosphere....
12:05 dock boats with sunset/rise. Like with 05:15 I feel like I am standing there while you are taking the shot.
13:05 Wow! really like this one, a powerful image.
20:25 my favorite among your bird photos
21:35 such detail!
25:22 Very nice, really like it.

I really appreciate you sharing the photos you've taken with the OM-1. I'd be curious to see the settings, including lens, you used for each. I'm always wondering what someone did to get the results they have. Sometimes it just gives you more context. Thanks for all the effort you put into this video. It's been inspiring to follow you on your journey with the camera.
Thank you very much. I realy appreciate you watching my video and leaving a comment. All the images that you've seen in this video are in my other videos thar came by over the past year. If there are any images that you are particularly interested in let me know witch one then I will look it up for you or show witch video it is in. Are you an om-1 user yourself? Where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater You're quite welcome. I'll give your video another watch when I have the chance, and definitely let you know which photos I'm curious about.
Brilliant video Guido, great images too ... I have E-M10 Mark ii and Mark iii cameras, very happy with what these awesome cameras can do!
They are absolutely amazing aren't they! Thanks for the compliment. What so you like to photograph yourself? Grt guido
Beautiful images and a well thought out review of the OM-1. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks for your kind words. Are you an olympus / om system user also? Where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater I've been shooting the Lumix G9 for just over a year now. Coming to it through the Leica V-Lux 114 (Lumix FZ1000) after turning in most of my full-frame Nikon gear upon retiring from my newspaper in Pensacola, Florida. I have the Panasonic/Leica 100-400mm and 8-18 lenses for bird photography and a small amount of interior photography. I think the G9 software upgrades have made that camera far more capable than many people believe but I was glad to see the new OM-1 has proven that MFT is not dead and is a real contender for photographers who want the results but not the bulk as proven by yourself and photographers like Daniel J. Cox.
Very nice video - I have just ordered the OM-1, upgrading from my EM1 Mk II that I've had 6 yrs and almost 70,000 shutter counts. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. I'm sure you will be very happy with it. What the main subject you photograph? Grt guido
Wonderful images
Thank you very much 🙂 grt guido
Masterpieces, beautifully done and now it’s my turn!👀
Thank you very much. Can i see your images somewhere? I'm sure you have some great images also 🙂 where are you from? Grt guido
Hi! Some stunning images - you have a great photographic eye. The OM-1 is a truly great camera - I love mine. I also use the beautiful PEN-F for street/city photography - another great camera!
Thank you for those kind words 🙂 I just try to do my best. yes it is a great camera and photography is not all about the camera ib my opinion it is much more about what you do with it. Make sure to keep that pen-f they are starting to become very popular and rare. Where are you from? Thanks for watching and commenting i realy appreciate it. Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Hi I’m from the UK (Plymouth) a great area for seascapes and landscapes!
@rhiwderinraytube ow that is nice. I recently chatted with someone who was also from that area he had stunning images. Your close to dartmoore national park also. Is that worth visiting? I've looked at that multiple times with Google maps it's a large area of nothing compared to the rest in that area. But with Google maps it is difficult to see if its realy nice for photography. Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Yes Dartmoor has some stunning granite rock outcrops called Tors and also an area of ancient original forest called Wistman’s Wood which is very photogenic. It is also an easy 1 hour drive or so to see the old tin mines on the Cornish coast.
You've put up a beautiful portfolio - especially your macro work! I appreciate your video and opinions, but I have to say I did a direct comparison between the OM-1 and my E-M1.3 in the store (on a tripod, so same shots with both cameras) at several moderate to high ISO settings and I have to say I really don't see a difference between the two sensors with respect to noise... maybe an ever so slight improvement in the shadows on the OM-1. I did not perform a dynamic range test. At any rate, these days software can do wonders to mitigate image noise, so I didn't get the OM-1. And as I have four E-M1 bodies that all use the same battery it annoys me that OM created yet another battery for the OM-1, and on top of that they don't include the battery charger with the camera! So, maybe I'll try one OM-1 at some point just because I could use the better video capabilities, but I don't see replacing all four bodies any time soon.
Also, my advice to you is add some gain to your mic signal, and to reduce the volume of the background music that plays through your photos. Try to get the two levels to be the same. Cheers
Hi Tom, thanks for watching the video and your kind words. I have an em1x that was my main stills camera before the om-1 and I also had my doubts when they came with a other 20mp sensor. The em1mk3 that you own Is basically an em1x in a smaller body so it is a great camera. The noise is a little less on the om-1 but the biggest benefit for me is the dynamic range. Shooting landscapes in mostly low light conditions I realy noticed a huge difference in dynamic range. Its much easier to pull up the blacks compared to my em1x. Also the high res and live nd capability are amazing. When shooting in these modes noise almost dissapears completely. But I think the most important thing is that you are still satisfied with your current camera. I always say that there is no need to spend lots of money if you are satisfied with what you have. Who knows you can skip a model of buy one cheaper second hand. I do get what you mean with the battery's. I think the main reason is that the batteries are a lot more powerful and last longer. I actualy don't mind that there is no separate charger. There is a charger but it is to charge the batteries within camera. And this is the truth I have never chamhed one battery on location! I have never used all the power (2 batteries I use the grip) so I just plug in the cable and it charges again. But within landscapes you don't use much power. I guess it gets a bit different when shooting birds. But with my em1x I easily went trough 4 batteries on 1 day.
Thanks for the tip on de microphone. I had to look up what the purpose is of your advice but I get it and sounds logical. I'm not sure I can change these settings on my dji osmo that I use for the vlogs. It's a small wireless transmitter that comes with the osmo but I'm deffinitly gonna look in to that. Anyways thanks again for your comment I realy apreciate it. Grt guido
Beautiful photos !!!!!
Thank you so much 🙂 grt guido
A used OM-1 is inbound from MPB. I can't wait I have Nikon and Olympus cameras. The Nikons take great action shots and portraits, but they are HEAVY and bulky. I love MFT for grab and go photography.
Also I ALWAYS buy a vertical grip.
I have them for my D200, D500, D850, and E-M1 iii. Like you the first thing I am adding to the OM-1 is a vertical grip.
Ow nice hopefully you will enjoy that purchase but there is no doubt in my mind that says differently. I agree on the smaller part. I love the grip with my big hands and such a small camera it's feel realy comfortable. And the best thing is that if I'm going out with the family for a day I just detach the grip and use the 12-100 f4 pro lens. It's a very small and lightweight kid but so much power in it!
Thanks for watching the video I realy appreciate your comment. Where are you from? Get guido
Thanks a lot for this very likable video with plenty of excellent images! I am also excited about this camera - I gave up my whole full frame Nikon Z- equipment for the OM-1 with some very versatile compact lenses (8-25/4, 40-150/4, 20/1.4, 60/2.8 Macro), and I do not look back! Kind regards from Switzerland.
Thank younfor the kind words. That is a very nice kit you have there. I'm actualy thinking about selling my 7-14 and buying the 8-25 you have. I do miss that I can't attach any filters in mine and I probably won't miss that 7mm. Wow Switzerland amazing country. Made 2 videos there a few weeks ago when on my way to Italy could easily have stayed more then a month. We're di you live in Swiss? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater I live in Burgdorf near Bern - the Bernese High Alps always in view. At the moment I am on vacation in the Upper Engadine, the most appealing Alpine landscape of our country in my view. I shoot mainly landscapes, forests and plants, and nature in general. But I also make reportages of and with people occasionally. The 8-25mm F4 is extremly versatile - you can operate at ridiculously close distances, to photograph flower heads for instance, but also take amazing landscape images.
I stayed near Interlaken for a view days. I'll remember your holiday spot who knows for my next trip 🙂 there are 2 videos online in case you would like to see my trip to your lovely country 😊 grt guido
Hello Markus!
Welcome back in the mFT-System. I remember to hear from you some time ago as a member oft he oly-forum. I live in Burgdorf near Bern too and i think it cuold be interesting if we could exchange our toughts about photograpy. Since 2004 Olympus is my mainly used gear, but over the years i checked out most other brands and formats. The OM-1, wich i own since May 12 2023, is by far my favorit…
If you are interested, i would be amused to hear from you……

I am from Ireland. I mostly like to shoot landscape, however I have become a fan of shooting some local birds , plus I would like to try to shoot more Milky Way photos and I think this camera will do all of this very well. Look forward to checking out the rest of your videos.
Many thanks!
@@ianmcmichael8799 I think it will be perfect for you. I think the best thing about the micro four third system is that because of the size and weight you can take all lenses with you and decide later what you want to shoot. There is never a compromise for me. Ireland wow that must be great for landscape photography. I've been wanting to go there for years but somehow It hasn't happend yet. I'm also a fan of u2 so maybe that's where the Irish interest comes from 😅 hope you will like the other videos. There's not star photography in them since the netherlands is the most dense populated country in Europe there is never a place without surrounding lights interfering. But I've seen images and videos about it and the om-1 is realy good at it. Thanks for you comment 👍 grt guido
Such an excellent video. I'm considering either the OM1 or one of the Fugi cameras (Maybe xh2). Thanks for sharing.
Thanks I'm sure you won't be disappointed. All videos over the past year are shot with the om-1 so if you want some more examples just have a look around. What are you using right now? Grt guido

Thank you very much. Happy to hear you liked the video. Do you use the om-1 yourself? Grt guido
thanks for this lovely video, enjoyed the images so much.
Thanks for the compliment and for watching. Do you use the om-1 yourself? Grt guido
hello. yes i do mostly do birds and although i was using em 1 mark iii before i felt its a major upgrade in both focus and iq. its just i lost the 300 prime recently felt a bit sorry but the 100-400 mm and the 40-150 mm f2.8 + 1.4 TC are doing well so far. wish i can improve in landscape in the future.
Do you mean the lens is broken? Do you know om system maintained fixed repair prices? I belive it is about 272 euro and they will fix whatever is wrong with it. Just bring the lens to a dealer and they can send it to the repair center in Portugal. We'll I hope my channel will give you some nice ideas to improve your landscapes! Grt guido

Finally an OM-1 video for landscape photographers, I'm seriously seeking my APS-C gear off and moving onto M43 for my every day and just needed to see the kind of images I take with this system ... Thankyou 👌👍🙂
Thanks for watching the video. Happy to hear you liked it. I actualy don't know if there are many landscape videos out there using the om-1. But there are a lot of bird and wildlife users that is for sure. And it is a brilliant camera for landscapes but I actualy think that there are no bad cameras anymore these days. All my videos use the om-1 for landscapes so plenty of examples. Videos from before July 2022 use the em1x also very capable but a bit heavier and bigger camera. A good thing to share is that I have never come across a situation were the camera could not do the job properly. In my latest video there is some good examples of the om-1 high res mode and the live nd filter mode. Might be interesting to watch aswel. Anyway thanks for watching realy apriciate you taking the time to comment 🙂 where are you from? Grt guido
Your photography is world class 🎩
Thank you that is a great compliment 😊 where are you from? Grt guido
Some great images there Guido, I love my OM-1 but i did have some trouble with it after 6 mths of use, the lcd screen packed it in and just before that happened i got a shock off it when unplugging it from the wall socket ! Apart from that it has been magical to use specially for birds. I also do a lot of Macro and again its the perfect camera for that style of photography, look how many are changing to the system for Macro and Birds, the lens are so sharp that you don't need sharpening afterwards. I have shots indoor school plays and from a distance with the 40-150 F2.8 and the shots are fantastic ! If the rumors are true a firmware update to give us star tracking will be a game changer ! Cheers from a very wet and cold New Zealand, so off to Australia October for three weeks with the Two Mad Photographer's, well four days with them at OReillys and the rest of the time touring on our own !
That sounds like a great trip that you have planned there! Never heart about that problem before. Did you send it in for repairs and did they say what was wrong with it? Would not like being electrocuted by my camera. But I don't hear many complains technically and especialy with usage and image quality. The om-1 already has starry sky af but I think younrefer to something else? I'm don't photograph stars at all. Living in one of the dense populated county's in the world there is no possibility for star photography here. I realy have to travel for hours to find a spot that is dark enough. Hope I can visit Australia or New zeeland one day but its about thenmost expensive and far trip that I can take from the netherlands 😅 thanks for you comment and your support. Really appreciate it 🙏 grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater It was repaired under warranty here in NZ by an Olympus repair agent and haven't had any problems since. Yes the Starry sky is for focusing on the stars, its very good this is firmware to track the stars/milky way same as a tracker does but without having to take a tracker with you ! It would be a game changer agin for OM Systems !
I can imagine that is something realy amazing. I've seen videos on what people bring along to photograph stars. Hope that the rumour is true. I've seen rumours on new telephoto lenses online but nothing official yet so hoping for that 🤞 grt guido

Thank you very much. Yeah I feel very fortunate about last year. And I even left out a couple of amazing images because the on location videos were not releases yet. So the start of the second year is also very good. Hopefully everybody watching will take a bit of all my tips, tricks so we can all push the photography to the next level 😀 grt guido

@@gregm6894someone recently told me that there wasn't a of landscape possibility in texts with all kind sof different habitats. Have never been there myself but who knows someday... I always try to work with the light that is available. I came home disappointed many times but because I planned a specific shot. Then I stopped planning and just wandered around areas and trying to use the light on any given subject. And somehow that way I just found much more good photographs. And I love those moody mornings... if you like beautiful light, fognand atmosphere then make sure to watch my Sundays on location videos the next few weeks. Been having some amazing trips on moody foggy mornings. Grt guido
Such beautiful pictures! The one at 16:20 from Cap Dramont is perfect.
Seeing all this amazing images just reminds me yet again that great photography is more photographer and good lens than frame size.

Pd: The Instagram link in the description seems to be wrong. I found your ig from your website instead.
Thank you for your kind words I realy apreciate it. And I totaly agree its not about the camera that much. There are no bad cameras only super good and super super good. It's all about training the photographer to look for the right images and be out in the right conditions.
That cap dranobt shot was indeed a great moment. One of my favorite moments this year. If you're ever around there it is definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful works!!! I love mine as well and after over a year still no dust even when I took video at F22. Still need to learn how to do decent landscape or macro photography. I am mostly into wildlife and family vacation type of photos. For me 20MP is enough. I would ike to see it has much more buffer and video AF improvement. Cheers!!!
Thank you very much. It's amazing right. Never Had a camera that had not even 1 dustspot after a year. And I never had a camera that I used so intensive. If your into wildlife mostly then I get that you want more buffer. Can never have enough of that. If you want to improve your landscapes then I hope you've subscribed because that is what this channel is all about. I shoot 80 to 90 percent landscapes. I have this goal that I want to be able to take a decent picture at any given condition and so far it's going prety nice. Where are younl from? Grt guido

Thanks for this video. I have no plans to upgrade from em1 mkii. I don't see much improvements in om1
I actualy tought the same I had (still have it as second camera) an em1x. But when I started to use the om-1 it was very clear that the improvement was amazing. Yes the sensor is also 20mp just like the em1x but the amount of dynamic range is so much better. Viewfinder is very clear and realistic and focusing is way better then on the 1x. OM system has a test and wow system if you want to try it for yourself you cab get one on loan for a couple of days so you cab make your own opinion. But the most important is that when you are still satisfied with your current camera of course there Is never a need to upgrade 🙂 where are you from? Thanks for watching the video. Grt guido
Thank you, Guido! I'm considering moving from Canon to OM System with the OM-1! This review is very helpful! More importantly, I love the photos you showed! Your eye for mood, color, simplicity and subect is amazing! Yes, the camera is great, but it's more about the person than the machine! I will be following your work!
Thank you very much. Those are kind words 😀 Yes you are right in the end I am convinced that the camera or lens doesn't give you better images. It the experience and time that you invest in it. I'm happy to see that you like my work and find it useful. Have a nice weekend. Grt guido

"I'm actually a landscape photographer so I don't do much wildlife photography..." showcases some of the best bird pictures I've seen on YT! 😂👍
Haha thank you very much. Yeah these images are nice but some of the flying birds are shot during a show and are not wild animals. That makes it a bit easier to take these shots. But it was an excellent opertunity to test the camera with these conditions. It made me confident enough to know that I can capture any bird if I encounter one in the wild. But most of the times I shoot them sitting somewhere 🤣 thanks for watching the video. Are you an om-1 user yourself? And what subject do you like to photograph? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Yes, I've had the OM-1 for about a month now, so I'm just beginning to "find my way". Since I already had the BMPCC4K for filming, the choice for an MFT still camera was pretty obvious.

Great work! I have an EM1 Mark III with a bunch of pro lenses. I have been wanting to upgrade but was going to wait for the Mark II version

Hello from India !! Great images !! I am new to MFT world which lens do you recommend for nature, birds and landscape? Any zoom to try economical way ? I used Nikon D500 and 300 f4 for birds. Thank you
- Rahul Deshpande
Welcome to the system and to my channel 🙂 the best lenses are always the pro series lenses. These lenses are all realy good. The only question is then wich focal range you prefer. I always like the 40-150 f2.8 pro a lot but the focal range might be a bit tight for birds. So maybe adding a 100-400, 300 r 150-600 for birds might be a good idea then. There is also some none pro lenses with foodnfocalmranges for bird like the 75-300. Hope you will find a good fit for your needs. Thanks for watching! Grt guido
Excellent truthful video thank you. And some superb images, as well. You have reinforced some of my thought on this camera. Thank again.
Thank you very much. What camera are you using right now? Thanks for watching the video and your comment appreciate your comment 🙏 grt guido
I am using a Canon R6 and a Canon 90d. There great no complaints except maybe weight. I just like the ergonomics and. the end results. I have a 24-70 f2 lense that weighs more than the om-1 with 40-100. Thanks for the very informative videos and the excellent images.
@@thomasphillips5850 I guess there are no bad cameras anymore these days but cameras have different advantages compared to another. I guess the size and weight are a great advantage of the om system / olympus cameras. Because of it I don't have to decide what I want to photograph I can do whatever I want and adapt to the conditions. Can I see some of your images somewhere? Always nice to see what other create 🙂 grt guido
Thanks for the good video and excellent shots! I want to upgrade from the EM10 MkII and thinking between Om1 and Om5. Just deciding...
Thank you very much. I think both cameras are great updates coming from an em10mk2. The question is what you want to achieve with photography. Do you want to travel light and do you want something you cary along easy then the om5 is great. But the image quality, handling and lots of options are much better of the om-1. But that comes with a whole different price tag. The biggest question is how serious you want to do photography. If you have bigger plans then spending more bow wil prevent you from another upgrade in the future. But with both cameras you can take great images! What's your favorite subject to photograph? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater thanks for you kind reply and greetings from Barcelona. In fact, I am quite used to the small size of the EM10 for travel, landscape etc. I have this camera dedicated for macro as I own the 60m plus diffuser, external flash and raynox. I do bracketing so I appreciate focus stacking but not esencial to me. So my main aim is a camera for overall photography. Maybe I do not need the extra feautures of the OM1 as extended nd filter or extended focus stacking but I wonder if longer lenses fit also well with the OM5 due to its smaller size. All in all and also price I think Om5 seems right for me as I said it would be landscape, travel, street photography etc
Barcelona nice... do you know moises? He is a great ambassador in Spain and always happy to help. His instagram account is @photomoisho. He lives right on the corner from you somewhere close to Barcelona. Sounds like the om-5 would be right for you. I'm not the biggest macro specialist out there so ik not sure wich camera is the best for those subjects. There are 2 videos on my channel where I tested the 90mm Pro macro maybe interesting for you also. Indo know a lot of macro photographer changed to the om-1 might be because of the focus stacking capability. If you want to shoot landscapes the honest answer is that the sensor in the om-1 is a bit better in low light conditions. I think om system has recently launched a test and wow in Spain. If you want to try wich one suits you best they send you a camera for a view days so you can try it. I believe its free but the program doesn't run in the netherlands yet so I don't know all the details. I know Spain is one of the try put country's. Maybe have a look at the website. The best decision is one we're you tested it and made your own opinion 😀 grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater thank you so much. I will contact Moises as he is in my area, you are right that i definetely should try on my own the performance of these cameras so to have the right decision. Much appreciated for your help and good advice. all the best

Please build full frame om system.
I don't think that will ever happen because it doesn't suit the philosophy of portable lightweight cameras. And to be honest I don't miss it at all with the current technology's I much rather prefer that portability. Thanks for watching the video I apreciate it. Grt guido

What do you think of the hdr1 and hdr2 compared to bracketed shots? IMO the camera does too much noise reduction.
I think think the hdr-1 and hdr-1 work perfectly. I sometimes use it deliberately because of that in my opinion excellent noise reduction. If I want to shoot a scene a bit on the darker side then I know noise appears so I use the hdr. When there is no wind and the scene looks realy promissing I always shoot hdr scenes. For me the moment when I start to bracket is when I can't get the dynamic range ge into one shot. That's when I make brackets but with brackets you loose the bigger files compared to the hdr in body. So recently I did a couple of brackets with in nobody hdr shots. Insane results and extremely large files 😅 you do need a very fast computer because processing them takes the maximum amount of memory 🤣 but I can't say that I use one or the other more often. Depend on the scene and on my mood 🙂 grt guido
Hi Guido, I have set the button to left of EVF (little rectangle) that switches between EVF and rear screen. Disabled the auto switching option
But that disables the screen or viewfinder completely, doesn't it? I will try it at home thabks for the suggestion 🙂 grt guido
Amazing censor cleaning tech since the beginning og four-thirds system. I have had E-300, E-500, E-1, E-3, EMD 1, and now OM-1, and have never seen any dustspost whatsoever. However, in 2014 I was lucky to borrow a Leica M (240), and to my horror all images were filled with dustspots. I happily returned to my Olympus gear.
It is right! I only cleaned the sensor of my e-3 once. But that was after I visited Namibia and could not resist changing lenses in a windy dessert 😅 but that was the only time. Happy to see I'm not the only one noticing it 🙂 thanks for watching and your comment 🙂 grt guido
The subject recognision works way better with just AF-c+subjekt rec (not AF-c +tracking+subject rec). The tracking mode on all Olympus cameras isn´t working properly).
Thanks for the heads up here. Like i said bird photography isn't my main focus in photography. I will test your advice when i have the opportunity. I honestly don't know if there is a big difference and you probably have much more experience with birds so I believe you. Thanks for the comment. Where are you from? I have some family in Denmark with the same surname 🙂 grt guido
Productive year with that system! Wonderful images and glad to follow along your journey with it. How to become a brand ambassador? 😂 I should bug Sony on it someday 🤣
I actualy have no idea how that happened. I started the channel and a couple of months later I got an email that they wanted to meet me. First I tought it was a joke but it wasn't haha. Thing went realy fast from that point on. Thanks for watching hope this journey will last for some time 🙂 grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Honestly, how it is to be an ambasador? Just curirous. You are a nice person. It is like they tell you what you have to do, or they've told you that as an ambasador you need to move around the world countries for the OM events? Or it's rather that you just keep your conent there, and you got paid for that? I know the rest are to push the brand forward so you need a little to advertise the user and don't work on detriment of the company, but have you ever beeing told that you MUST to fly or move around the events too? That's very interesting. If you are able to say just anything would be so nice 😀
Well to be honest it isn't all of that. You have to see it more as a mutual sign of respect. They promote me and I promote them. I don't get payed by them to say or promote anything. If I help them out on a foto fair there is a fee depending on how long you work for them. But untill now I have only done these in the netherlands. Every country has his own group of ambassadors and since the netherlands I small no planes are involved. The is a small group of world wide ambassadors 5 or 10 for them it's probably a bit different. But for me it's just an honer to be acknowledged by the brand that I've use for years. And it's given me the chance to promote myself more and reach a wider range of public. Who knows someday I will donaomrthibg outside of the country but I honestly have no clue on how they select these kind of trips. Where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Thank you! That made it really clear. 😀Answering your question I am from Poland and I expect there are some polish abasadors. I mean.. I am pretty sure I watched some polish videos with polish OM ambasadors (or even he was an actuall technical worker for OM), but honestly world of photography is so wide, that it is really hard to know EVERY name of a photographer even from your own country.. (it's not a Football World Cup to know who's Messi or who is Memphis Depay.. 😂) And to gear, If I could go for the system, that would be exactly OM system or any Fullframe brand. I actually started this year with Sony A6400 and 200-600 mm. If I had to say "Am I happy with it?" I'd answer that I am not unhappy, but I would not like to stay with it for a longer period. That's a good gear, but in certain situations... You better have fullframe or MFT. For example in wildlife, APS-C can handle worse some situations than you would do with MFT or Fullframe, because on higher ISO you lose a colours and details (let's say 12,800 ISO is good for todays denoise programs but you still lose information) and you could handle the same ISO with noise as it would be iso 6400 on fullframe or like 4000-6400 ISO on MFT (because of compensation with lower shutter speed ability like 1/40 + good stabilization and good light with like 300 mm F4 pro - of course with 1/60 I am not talking about fast moving subject just about ISO handle). To get faster aperture you need to pay x3 in Sony lenses, and to shoot 1/60 with any Sony lens? Good luck to have one good photo at that range... 😂 So back to the beggining, it's really an honour to be just an ambasador - moneys aside. That's an achivement a lot of people would like to have! I am going to switch my gear next year. And we will see which way, because seems like I am going to monetize my work seriously, so as a future portrait photographer it's going to be a fullframe, or OM1. If I ever had OM1 all I need are 4 lenses: 17 f1.2 pro, 45 f1.2 pro, 300 mm f4 pro and 60 mm f2.8 macro. Fullframe is a little wide in brand so it needs to be carefully chosen not sure about which certain lens would be on my way yet.
Its exactly that... i find it a great honor to be part of this team. And they are all supportive and nice people. There are a number of polish ambassadors on the website. I don't know any of them personally but if you ever want to change you can always send them or me a message of you want some advice. OM system is rolling out a new test and wow system. You can then just test a camera you are interested in for a few days without costs. So if you have your doubts make sure to check that out might be helpful. Anyways thanks for watching and your great comment. Realy appreciate it. Grt guido

@Mike-vd2qt nice! 🙂
Great review. Can you tell me what your lens choices have been?
I use a wide range of lenses but my most used lenses are the 12-40 f2.8 Pro, 40-150 f2.8 Pro and the 100-400 f5-f6.3 but I also use the 7-14 f2.8 Pro fornthe extreme wide angle shots and the 60mm macro. I recently added a 300mm f4 prime witch I made a video about last week. Might be interesting to watch. Thanks for watching and your kind words I apreciate it! Where are you from?
Hello, Guido, many thanks for a very instructive and beautifully illustrated video. I'm on the edge of buying this camera and would be grateful if you could say something about the lenses you used for both your landscape and bird photos. Also, do you miss the slightly less bourke you get because of the four-thirds sensor's depth of field?
Hello Gerry, thanks for watching the video. Happy to hear that you found it helpful. Most of my landscape shots are done with the 12-40 f2.8 pro, 40-150 f2.8 Pro or the 100-400 f5-6.3 is. Most of the bird shots in that video are done with the 40-150 f2.8 pro or the 300mm f4 ( i don't own that lens but borrowed it for a trip. If you do lot sof bird then I think that lens is amazing. And the 150-400 is also amazing but at almost 8000 euro that is a different price range. I don't miss the dept of field myself and I think that the difference is much less then everyone think it is. The lenses that om system makes are amazing and I think you can adapt to that difference. For landscapes it's even an advantage because usualy you want as much sharp as possible in the frame. Where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Hello, Guido, many thanks for your full response that's very helpful. I live in SW France working for the Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in the UK. I'm attached to their Benelux Chapter through which I've had a photo selected to show at the Pelt Exhibition. In time I'd love to come to Holland for a workshop with you.
The south west of France is a bit of a blind spot for me. Are there any nice areas for landscape photography? I've never heard of that photographic society gonna look it up tomorow sound great. If you ever in the netherlands of want to go there feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help you out. Workshop would be awsome just contact me and I will see what I can do. Grt guido
Fascinating photos, This equipment is amazing - it's true. Do you have any experience with Hi Res on a tripod with studio lighting? I'm asking because I get soft photos (Hi rest handheld in the same conditions is very sharp) and I'm looking for a solution.
Hello, thanks for watching the video and your comment. In the second tab of thr menu you can find the high res activation screen. You can als say if you handhold the shot or use a tripod. Did you adjust that? The camera has to know that it is on a tripod there to get the nest results. I don't have any experience with studio work unfortuatly but I get that it cab be a great feature for that. If this isn't it then I guess I don't know what could be the issue here. Did you turn ofninage stabilisation on the tripod? Grt guido
maybe shut off IBIS if on tripod?
High res tripod mode should automatically turn of IS if everything works correctly.
I wish OM-1 was available in silver color 😢
I totally get that! It's a shame they didn't continue it there was a lot of demand for it. What camera do you use now? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater I got no camera yet. I'm debating on getting om1 mark 1 or the om5 with more lenses... What do you think?
They are both great cameras. I think it all depends on what you want to do with it and what your experience is. If you are not to demanding and you want a good camera that is small then the om-5 is great. For example lots of streat photographers use is. I you want a camera that allows you to use every available gimmick at the moment and can take every shot that you could wish for then the om-1 is the way to go. I personally love the om-1 because of its ergonomics and amazing features. So that would be my choice. What's you're experience in photograohy and what do you want to photograph? Grt guido
Dag beste Guido
Bedankt voor deze mooie en duidelijke video. De hoge resolutie foto’s vind ik het mooiste, de rest kan volgens mij echt wel beter. de Live ND functie is een erg mooie. Ik overweeg, om deze camera naast mijn canon Full frame te gaan gebruiken. Het hoge gewicht en de toren hoge prijzen van canon lenzen lopen helaas voor mij de spuigaten uit. Wat doe je aan de fotobewerking met betrekking tot de ruis?.
Met vriendelijke groet
Leuk dat je de video gekeken hebt. Ik doe eigenlijk niet zo heel veel aan ruis onderdrukking. Ik probeer het histogram naar de lichte kant te houden en in situaties waar ik weet dat ruis een issue is gebruik ik de high res foto's. De high res foto's zijn meestal zo goed al ruis vrij. Bij de overige foto's gebruik ik de ouderwetse slider in lightroom en heel af en toe een keer topaz deboise. De meeste winst zit hem naar mijn mening vooral in het vooraf bedenken hoe je ruis kan voorkomen. Maar eerlijk gezegd ben ik niet iemand die ruis super erg vind. Stoor me er vaak niet zo aan.
Ik snap wel wat je bedoeld full frame lensen zijn we van een andere prijsklasse. Ik ben er echter wel van overtuigd dat de pro serie lensen absoluut dezelfde kwaliteit halen dus als je een om-1 wil aanschaffen dan zou ik zeker daar voor kiezen. Wat fotografeer je zelf vooral?
Je zegt dat je de high res foto's de mooiste vind en dat de rest beter kan. Bedoel je dan mijn foto's of doel je meer op waar de camera toe instaat is? Gewoon even nieuwsgierig of ik het goed interpreteer 😅
Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater hoi Guido
Bedankt voor je reactie. De eerste foto’s vond ik niet zo erg bijzonder. De High Res foto’s vond ik weer wel erg mooi. De Pro lenzen van Olympus zijn zeer goed, en kunnen zich meten met de full frame lenzen van Canon en de andere grote merken of zijn zelfs beter. Ik twijfel nog over de aanschaf van het Om-systeem, dat heeft te maken met de ruis problematiek door de kleine censor .Ik overweeg, om de 150-400 met een Om-1 body te kopen en deze naast mijn Canon set bestaande uit de R3 met een Rf 100- 500 met 1.4 converter te gaan gebruiken, en te gaan ervaren hoe mij dat bevalt. Ik heb me in ieder geval op je kanaal geabonneerd.
Met vriendelijke groet
Als je een om-1 met 150-400 neemt praat je ook nog over stevige investeringen trouwens. Minder dan vergelijkbaar van Canon natuurlijk. Wat fotograaf je zelf graag? Kan ik ergens wat foto's zien? Ben wel nieuwsgierig eigenlijk. Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater goedemorgen Guido
Ik ben eigenlijk niet actief op het internet wat betreft het plaatsen van foto’s. Door dat ik nog een ander hobby heb ( High - Eind Audio ) waar ik momenteel erg veel mee bezig ben Oa met puinruimen en verbeteringen in mijn audio systeem aan het door voeren ben, komt er van fotograferen niet al te veel terecht. Mijn laats foto’s dateren al weer van 3 maanden geleden. Toch hoop ik op niet al te lange termijn het fotograferen weer wat vaker te kunnen gaan doen. Is erg leuk om mee bezig te zijn. Het hoge gewicht van mijn combi ( de R3 met de RF 100-500 met 1.4 extender ) weegt 2,8 kg en als dat aan je schouder hangt is dat best pittig met wandelingen van 1 uur of langer.
Wat ik ook een dingetje vind is de F waarden van F10 of hoger op het maximale tele bereik ( 700 mm ) van deze combi, en dan nog moet ik flink bijsnijden bij kleine vogeltje als de graspieper of puttertje. Je houd dan foto’s van 3 mg pixels over, en dat is niet veel. De foto’s blijven wel rag scherp en detail rijk.
Ik ben ook aan het kijken naar canon 200-500 F/4 die aan het eind van het jaar wordt verwacht . Maar het prijs kaartje zal in Nederland zo rond de €20.000 zijn schat ik. Tel daarbij dat je er ook nog een nieuw te verwachte teleconverter bij komt die ook niet goedkoop zal zijn, en ook het hoge verwachte gewicht van deze combinatie , en de ramp is compleet. Hoogste tijd dus om verder te gaan kijken . Om-systems is dan een mogelijke optie. Voordelen zijn. Meer tele Bereik , lagere aanschafprijs , lager gewicht. Nadelen mindere resolutie en door de kleinere censor last van ruis .
Met vriendelijke groet.
Hi, nice review but above all great photographs! I wanted to ask you what you think of the jpeg of this camera. Are the colors beautiful? If you want, can you use that directly? Do the shadows seem too harsh to you? bye thank you
I have never had any problems with the jpg files comming out of the camera. The colours in my opinion of om system / olympus are just amazing but that can also be a matter of taste. but I always prefer to shoot raw so that I can adjust anything if needed. And yes you can use jpg directly out of camera if you would want that.thabks for watching and your kind words I realy apreciate it. Grt guido

I'm not someone with experience in portrets. I know people that take amazing portrait shots. Especialy the fast prime lenses like the 45mm 1.2 and 75mm 1.2.

I know that jimi cheng takes some portraits try looking for him on youtube. Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Thank You so much !!
Very nice! I finally ordered one 3 days ago. The only downside so far is that they sent it (from OM-System, Hamburg) as standard mail without any tracking. This is very strange for something of that value. Hopefully it will soon show up 😊.
The last few months, I have been shooting birds early in the morning, and the combination of low light, high shutter speeds and a slow telephoto lens is not great for the E-M1 II
I'm sure the om-1 will do much better in low light and specialy the bird tracking works amazing. In my opinion this camera is a small but very capable camera on any subject. Strange indeed that they don't use tracking. I usualy get a tracking code when it's send out. Is it on the way already? I once order a new lens from 1200 euro. It got delivered when I wasn't home. There was a little not in my mailbox saying that he put the box underneath met car that was in the driveway 😱 swnd a complain to the mail company but of course they never responded. Luckely nobody found it and I didn't just drove of with my car when I got back home. Thanks for watching the video hope you will recieve the camera soon! Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater I got the tracking number today, and 5 hours later the camera arrived. I don't know what happened, but it doesn't matter now 😊

Very well explained and illustrated -- great graphics and in-studio live demos on the various features and functions. He is a wonderful photographer, and very knowledgeable.
When I look throughout the screen, I can see the image in my screen… ahhhh ok…

Hi! Can i ask if CPL filter are useless for the landscape photography or not?? I dont know if its worth buying them
The cpl is about the only filter that I use. Specialy on days when everything is wet I use it to reduce those reflections on leafs. Or on a day with a bit boring colours I use it to enhance the colours. Specialy in autumn the filter is extremely powerful! But the quality is very diverse... so it's better to I vest a bit more. The cheapest option sometimes give strange colours on don't work good enough. Thanks for watchibg the video. Grt guido
You can see a bit of a demonstration in this video from a couple of months ago ruclips.net/video/8V2ehEuaj1g/видео.html

Hi. You refer all the time to the EM 1, but which model?? Bij voorbaat bedankt voor je antwoord!
Hoi bedankt voor je camera. Ik refereer niet nasr een em 1 maar naar een om-1 er is maar 1 type om-1 op dit moment. Mijn oude camera die ik in het begin ernaast hou is een em1x. De om-1 waar deze video over gaat is de opvolger van de em1 serie en staat dus eigenlijk weer een stapje daar boven. Wat voor camera gebruik je zelf? Groetjes guido

Ik gebruik zelf een Nikon Z6 ii na ca 3 jaar met een Z6. Ik konkureer jaarlijks met mijn broer in Canada die de Olympus gebruikt en hij imponeert wel. Voor de Nikon had ik ook een Olympus maar dat model was me te klein en ik had daarom veel moeite de juiste knoppen te vinden en de Video imponeerde niet. Ik zie nu dat de nieuwe models wat groter zijn. Dank voor je antwoord. Groeten Evert Ravenshorst
De nieuwe modellen zijn iets groter dan dan de em1 serie maar nog steeds een stuk kleiner dan de nikon. Ik moest daar in het begin ook wel even aan wennen maar uiteindelijk vond ik het kleine formaat juist alleen een voordeel.

I'm thinking of jumping ship from Sony, the OM1 is top of my wish list - Is there a particular lens to pair it with that works best for landscape? There seems to be a few that cover 12-xx mm (24mm FF upwards) but going to 40mm or 100mm and so on. I need something better than 'kit' lens status
I have only seen the OM-1 being offered alone, or in a kit with the 12-40mm f2.8 Pro II lens, which is an absolutely stellar lens, as it is in their Pro-grade of lenses.
Thabks for watching the video. Im sure you will love the om-1 if you decide to jump into it I use the 12-40 f2.8 Pro and the 40-150 f2.8 Pro for 80 percent of my landscape images. If you want to go wider I can recommend the 8-24 f4 Pro and if you want a one lens option the 12-100 f4 Pro is also a very capable lens. Shooting landscape usualy means we rarely come beneath f4. If your into start photography then the 2.8 will be a better choice. Hope I helped you out a little if you have any more questions please feel free to contact me at any time. Grt guido
Totaly agree the 12-40 f2.8 pro is an amazing lens!
@@GuidoVanDeWater That's brilliant help, thank you! I think the 12-40 would cover my range as a main lens, but I do like a bit of wildlife as well as cropping in on some landscapes, so anything in the 300mm (600mm equiv) would also be great. I'm not sure some of the older Olympus lenses would be up to the task (I dont have the budget for the 150-400)
I have the 100-400 f5 - f6.3 it is a great lens for the amount of wildlife that I photograph. You can also look for the 300 f4 Pro prime but that is almost double the money of the 100-400. You also look for a 40-150 with a 2x teleconverter you loose a little bit of sharpnes at the long end but then you have and excellent zoom for a bit closer and the ability to reach those distant subjects if needed. And no problem happy I can help 🙂 grt guido

Amazing photographs. It’s unfortunate this system doesn’t get as much love as offerings from other brands. I wouldn’t be able to tell any of your photos apart from full frame top of line alternatives.
Thank you very much. I do agree that the system is a bit under appreciated. I did a photo trip with the photography club that I am with a while ago. During the trip we all took almost the same images. A week later we were at the club and everybody showed the images on the large screen and nobody could see the difference. That screen was created with a high ress beamer and shown on approximately 3x2 meter size so that proved to me that there isn't a single camera system out there at the moment that can't do the trick. What camera do you use yourself? Are you from parma? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Fujifilm X H2s. Sold my R6 after I got the Fujifilm I'm tempted to try out the OM System OM1 for sure.
That's a nice camera also. If you ever want to try it have a look on the om system website. They are unrolling a new test and wow system across different country's at the moment. They send a kit that suits you to your home and you can test it for a couple of days to set your own experience with it. After that you send it back to them without costs. Can I see some of your images somewhere? Always like to see what people watching this channel ate interested in 🙂 Grt guido
@@parmanduke I thought I'd chime in as I've had a bit of a similar experience. I tried out the X-H2s at the same time as the OM-1. I ended up keeping the OM-1. It is slightly lower resolution, but the IQ is so high, especially with the pro lenses, and there's just something about the jpegs out of the camera that are special. I suppose it's like how some people love the Fuji looks. Olympus definitely has its own look. Granted, I really liked the images out of the Fuji. It was a difficult decision to be sure. In the end, I opted for the OM-1 as I already had a Panasonic and some M43 lenses. So it made sense for me. These stacked sensor cameras really are another level. I'm surprised people don't give them more credit. They cost a lot, but compared to their full frame equivalents they're relatively reasonable.
I'm still surprised every day by the image that this camera produces. Specialy yhe dynamic range is amazing compared to other m43 cameras. And when using high res shots or love nd for example I'm prety sure that it can compare to full frame easily. Ik actualy trying to make a video about the image quality difference between normal / livend and high res photos. I was so surprised how the camera manages to create absolute noise free images. I just wonder what the next step will be for om system since Panasonic has made a 25.6ml sensor ij they're new camera I'm sure that we will get something simular in the future but then back-lit. Thanks for your feedback I apreciate it 😀 grt guido
aha amsterdam
Er zaten volgens mij sel 1 of 2 foto's uit amsterdam bij ja. Doe niet heel veel straat fotografie maar af en toe wel leuk 🙂 bedabkt voor het kijken! Grt guido
Stunning images, general opinion is that the image quality is only very marginally better and in some instances actually worse than the EM1 mk3, guess its better to wait until they actually change the sensor. The OM is bigger, heavier and a little bit faster in processing, but thats all. I think the new iteration is a great disappointment. My EM1 mk3 will do absolutely fine for me until we see some real innovation from OM, not just a rebranding exercise.
Thanks for watching the video. I do agree that the image quality isn't worse or better then your em1mk3. I never owned that camera but it is the same sensor as the em1x that I used. The dynamic range however increased a lot compared to the em1x and the high ress images are way better. I also prefer the oled voewfinder on the om-1. So there are some benefits but everyone has to decide for themselves If that is enough to change the camera. I totaly understand if you say that you're happy with what you have 😀 I believe this tis he last year that they are allowed to use the olympus name so I thibk after this year the whole rebranding process will be over and they will start releasing new stuf. where are you from? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater Look, your images are fantastic so there is no doubting your dedication and your skills, but as you know its usually about the guy behind the camera rather than the camera itself. I would be the first to admit that the new OM is better in many ways, but is it really that much about an incremental improvement. Some would say that modern cameras have actually become too clinical and the magic of the image is being lost. I have just got back from Cambodia and I shot with my OMD EM5 mk2 which uses my M.Zuiko primes and and my OMD EM1 uses my 40-150 f2.8 and both with the 16mp sensors. So long as you shoot in RAW and know how to post process you can deliver the image. Its never about absolute quality its more about the experience and your own personal ability. I also have a Sony A7R3 with the 45mp sensor which I use only for portrait work and the images are so much cleaner and more punchy than any m4/3 camera, but I still have beautiful portraits taken with the 16mp sensor which on liners still comment on today. And when I compare the 16mp to the 20mp, yea there is something there but not actually that much. What I am alluding to, its not about the camera, although a good lens is always a good thing to have, its about you, your own journey and your own enjoyment, at the end of the day no one really give a stuff about your pictures anyway. You are not an artist. The only true artists start with a blank piece of paper or a solid block of rock, now those guys you can truly admire.
@zardosspinosa6944, wow, you nailed this post, and I can't do anything else and then agree with you 🙂 I always say to people that they should take photographs for themselves. If you don't like your own images, then why do photographybat all? So if other people like them also that is nice of course, but you should not take pictures in a way that other like them. So I guess that kind of resembles what you mentioned 😃 can I see some of your work somewhere? Interested to see what you produce 🙂 grt guido
But there's no crop as such so every shot must be frame filling.
You can still crop byt bot as much as full frame. Unless you use the high ress mode when you get 80mp files then there is plenty of space to crop. But i often crop a normal image to a 3x2, 16x9 or 1x1 and sti) there is plenty of pixels left to make large prints. But if you be more accurate in the field with your composition it prevents cropping and saves pixels. I even think it makes you consider compositions more while in the field. Every negative had its positive and the other way around. What camera do you use? Grt guido
So nice to get some or all of your gear for free.
I actually PAY for all of mine.
I actualy paid the normally prices for all of my gear. Only became an ambassador after I bought the om-1. Recently gotnto test the 90mm macro Pro but had to return it and if I want to have I still have to buy it myself. I guess the happy days of getting everything for free are over unfortunatly.
@@GuidoVanDeWater My apologies to you; I "assumed"! See, your reviews now have more weight to them -- knowing that you bought all your own gear. Thanks for sharing!
No problem at all. I get that it is a bit strange since I'm an ambassador but like I said this my honest opinion and because I bought it before I became an ambassador I can say that this is a decision that I made for myself and I had all the same dilemas as everyone else making the decision 🙂 where are you from? What camera do you use? Grt guido
@@GuidoVanDeWater I have an OM-1, EM-1 mkiii, and (2) EM-1's, plus an array of lenses: _Just_ got the 12-100 f4 for outdoor Wedding use (Already have the f2.8 zooms + the 75mm f1.8) ... (like to see the "FF" guys do _that_!) + trio of f1.8's + others -- working to build a kit for Weddings. Oh, I live in Illinois.
That sounds like a serious kit! I have the om-1 and an em1x as backup but I never use it. Thinking about selling it and buying something smaller that I can take with me for filming. Do you plan on become a wedding photographer profesional? Or just on occasion? I tried it a few times but I figured that it just isn't my cup of tea. It can make some great income but I just don't like the stress that can come with it. Grt guido
