  • It's here! The OM SYSTEM OM-1. The new flagship camera from OM System!
    Read the full blog post with more photos here: bit.ly/CEW-OM1-Review
    I've had the honour of being a part of the global launch campaign for the OM-1 and have worked on several projects for OM System and this new camera over the past 4 months. It's been a wild ride and I'm beyond excited to finally share this (and so much more) with you.
    Similar to my previous Olympus / OM System videos, I'd like to share my real-world experiences with you and let the results of my work do the heavy lifting.
    In this video I won't be telling you to buy or not to buy, I won't compare to other brands, won't nit-pick or pixel peep, but instead, I hope to inspire through the scenes and stories the camera helped me capture.
    I had the honour of using the camera for a microplastics sample collecting project in the extreme weather of arctic Norway. As well as getting to test out its video features while creating a promotional eMTB film for Specialized.
    When it comes to telling stories, the best camera is the one that is the most natural extension of our expression and I can, with confidence, say that, to me, the OM-1 takes on exactly that role.

    So, asides from your relationship with Olympus/OM System, what made you pick this camera over other similarly priced or cheaper cameras? A7 IV, X-H2s, X-T5, R6, S2, Z7, etc.

    • @chriseyrewalker
      @chriseyrewalker  Год назад +91

      1 - I've been shooting with OM System for years now. I own a lot of accessories and all the PRO lenses for the system. It would be a massive investment to jump to a different system to ultimately do the same job. (more on this in point 8)
      2 - I still believe that the weather sealing and ruggedness of these cameras beat all other brands. I've taken my OM-D through places I wouldn't dare take other cameras. I've shot at -35ºC at 6500m and +45ºC in sandstorms. Stood under waterfalls, shot in storms no matter where... these cameras just work. They don't overheat or break... not one OM-D body has ever failed me. I've slipped and fallen ONTO my E-M1X in Iceland on a glacier... nothing. (the lens broke a little though).
      3 - Features - The HandHeld Hi-Res shot feature is amazing and I use it a lot and more importantly the stabilisation. No other brands comes close. I can handhold several second long exposures. I haven't shot a photo on a tripod in YEARS. Years of travel without a tripod is amazing!
      4 - The portability aspect. Yes, the full-frame cameras have gotten smaller. But the lenses simply can't compete with micro 4/3. Especially the difference with the wider and telephoto lenses. I own full-frame lenses for my cinema camera and each time I'm surprised at how much chunkier and heavier they are.
      5 - The price. Full-frame bodies might have gotten cheap. But lenses on a PRO level, with the weather sealing, build quality and most importantly: the sharpness level of the OM System PRO lenses (Olympus is a lens manufacturing company after-all) can't compete.
      6 - Ergonomics. I love how this camera sits in my hands. Not too big, not too small. I've held Sonys and hate how uncomfortable they are.
      7 - I switched to Olympus many years ago for all the above reasons (and more) and shooting with the E-M1 (Mark I) back then rekindled the joy of photography. I was excited to take my little camera out and shoot. Something I didn't feel with my Canon 1D Mark III back then. This is super subjective... but a camera that is a joy to use, always works and ultimately makes me go out more, be more creative and shoot better photos is the one I want to / should be using.
      8 - Photography, as a professional, is about more than just the choice of technology. It's about the business side of things too. A relationship with a brand that trusts my visions and supports me with whatever crazy project I come up with is worth maintaining. And by 'brand' I mean the people behind the brand that I have had the pleasure of working with for years now. Even when a different brand comes out with a new piece of kit that might be 10% better in some tiny aspect... ultimately, that 10% or that new feature won't change my work.
      Sure, if someone re-invents the wheel... maybe I'd consider it.
      When I see all the RUclipsr reviewers that jump ship every time a new piece of kit is out just to get the views and money... that, to my eyes, isn't a smart way of doing business. It's money, and not relationship driven and not a long-term sustainable way of treating people. Just my 2 cents.
      I know that the last point (8) is super subjective, of course. But many years ago I felt like I could do better work with Olympus, so I sold everything and went for it. Not only did I do this because I could finally travel with all the kit I needed to shoot surf - but I also knew / hoped that there was a relationship I could build with this brand. And - 8 years later - this was one of the best professional decision of my life.
      Gear isn't everything. It's the work we do with it. So, if you are looking at a new piece of kit... just ask yourself if it will make you a better photographer and if it will help your business on the long run. And these decisions are just as subjective and personal as they are objective.
      Sorry for the lengthy response, but I hope you now understand where I'm coming from.

      @@chriseyrewalker Your response was excellent, point driven and educational as well. I have the EM 1Mk ii (Did not feel the Mk iii was enough improvement to change) I also have the G9. I am very much considering purchasing this camera and your video was extremely helpful. Great work and thank you!

      Chris, while researching the EM1 a long time ago I remember calling my family to watch your videos because your tenacity in persisting with environments that project the cold even from the TV screen was admirable and inspiring (no worries there). You also being a great photographer in these harsh realms results in some truly original and stunning work. I am a long term Digital Olympus user (17 years!) and have been patiently waiting for a (any) camera that can cover my unique requirements with the additional hope that that it can cover almost every situation (especially including pro video capability)... I'm delighted to know that Olympus is the brand that has emerged to meet this requirement (and way more!). Great work over the years. Keep it up. Thanks.

      Great review, indoor explanation combined with outdoors images and video. Seems that OM is targeting action, sports and wildlife photographers. The best news is that OM System will keep updating their cameras and lenses so giving confidence for their customers. The proof of the pudding will be updating the lower models to keep with new technologies.

    • @weisserth
      @weisserth 2 года назад +1

      What's your commentary on the higher price point?
      I think the camera price is justified, but a battery is $100 now, the grip is a whopping $350, so a full kit (body, grip, 3 extra batteries) goes up beyond USD3,000 for most buyers. Compared to the E-M1 III and its accessories that is quite the price hike.

    Chris, I highly value your impression, a.k.a., review, of the OM-1. Presenting it as a tool that can help a photographer / videographer create their work product is more valuable than discussing numbers on a spec sheet. Well done.
    Another benefit of your presentation is that it shows that the new majority owner of the Olympus camera department is carrying forward the legacy of the OM System that Yoshihisa Maitani began in 1972.

  • @jamiegoodhart7069

    As always, the best (by a distance) review of Olympus/OM. Hugely engaging to me and my sort of dreams (and occasional reality). Fabulous storytelling and the best explanation of how and why on the internet. That 12-100 might be just the thing for my next expedition. I'm going to sell various bits to fund it! So much love to you dude. Inspiration lived!.

  • @keithholland4322
    @keithholland4322 2 года назад +9

    Thanks for producing this video! I'm definitely going to buy one when I have the money! I'm glad to see that OM System has finally recognized that their primary target market for a new flagship camera is outdoor photography and created a camera to exploit that market. I am really glad to see that it has subject recognition for mammals and better tracking since I do a lot of wildlife photography and sometimes equine photography. Perhaps the subject tracking in this camera is such that I won't be buying a Sony RX10 IV for photographing birds in flight after all, especially since this camera has twice the frame rate, so even if it does miss more often, there will still be more in-focus shots to choose from. The additional dynamic range, high ISO performance, improved IBIS, and Live ND will be useful for landscape photography too. And I'm glad they haven't overpriced it like they did with the E-M1X.
    Going forward, OM System needs to recognize that the smaller sensors in their cameras are ideal for the following types of photography and design their cameras and lenses to exploit those strengths:
    1. Real estate photography: Smaller cameras, lenses, and strobes, thanks to more depth of field at the same aperture.
    2. Equine photography: The 40-150 f/2.8 is lighter than a full frame 70-200 and there is no need for a shallower depth of field.
    3. Macro photography: More depth of field at the same aperture and smaller lenses plus in-camera focus stacking and bracketing.
    4. Adventure photography: Less weight, better weather sealing
    5. Wildlife photography: Smaller lenses with longer focal lengths make handholding possible. Pro Capture is a game changer too.
    6. Sports photography: Pro Capture is a game changer. Smaller lenses are easier to handhold.
    7. Travel photography: Small cameras and lenses are easier to travel with and don't cost as much if they are lost or stolen.
    8. Landscape photography: Smaller, lighter lenses are easier to carry on long hikes and IBIS makes tripod unnecessary in many situations, saving even more weight.
    Until a few years ago, it seemed that Olympus was mostly stuck on #7 and I'm glad to see that they are finally making progress on numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 with this new camera.

    Yes, I ordered the camera. But that's not what I wanted to say here. Here, I want to simply say I was awed and inspired by your creative and artistic approach to these projects. The 39 minutes of this video was a true pleasure to watch and at the very top of my list for quality work on RUclips.

    Thank you for the fantastic review. I’m really pleased to see this camera. I really like my EM1 MKii. When Olympus changed to OM systems I was worried that we would not see another serious camera in the future. Happy to see that is not the case. This looks like a beast of a camera.

    • @chriseyrewalker

    Looks like one seriously big upgrade and a camera to be reckoned with. I bought the original OM-1 in 1975 (and still have it!), and I just wish that all Olympus users/enthusiasts should start a campaign for Olympus to allow OM System to continue using the famous Olympus name on all future OM System cameras. The legacy should continue!

    • @chriseyrewalker
      @chriseyrewalker  2 года назад +2

      It sure is a respectable upgrade! I have a few original OM-1's around the house too. Love them!
      It might be sad to see the Olympus logo go... but it's still embedded in the OM name I suppose. Also, I don't think the people behind OM System will ever forget where they came from. The legacy will live on.

    I feel this is the perfect camera for
    1. wildlife & Sports shooters with that explosive FPS rate and improved C AF.
    2. Landscape photographers with it's Live ND, Handheld high res mode.
    3. PhotoJournalists.
    4. And yeaahh it can do as an event camera as well.
    It is a fine product with a solid evolution over em1 mk 3.
    Hope they do well.

    Hey Chris, I was going to be something epic and I was right! It's great to see more videos like yours that people are discussing ideas and creativity, not just some technical data.
    Your projects in Norway is something very similar to the work I do, just without this epic backdrop :)
    I was thinking for some time if I should change systems, but now with this new machine, vastly improved AF and low light I'm very optimistic for the future of the system.
    Thank you the inspiration, I think this is the main idea and purpose of youtube videos!

    Thank you so much for this great video. I still shoot with the E-M1 II - I never got round to upgrading. Coming from FF cameras before I've often been tempted to return, but I love weather that most people would rather stay indoors and Oly - oops OM - has always allowed me to dismiss those concerns of weather sealing. In addition good glass does not come cheap so selling out to jump ship, is only doable for those who can afford to. I've been waiting for a worthy upgrade and your video has inspired me to trade in my old MK II for this great looking tool - can't wait.

    • @chriseyrewalker
      @chriseyrewalker  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for watching. Happy to hear that you’re sticking around with OM System. Honestly, the OM-1 will definitely be a big jump up from the Mark II and you’ll most certainly love it.
