Thank you Peter. I completely agree with your comment about considering the M5 as fun and leisurely vs M1. For me this works for three reasons. 1. The M5 is smaller, lighter and just feels more fun 2. It has the same sensor as my M1, so I don’t become anxious that I’ll end up with inferior photos 3. It’s weather sealed so I don’t feel I’m using a junior camera. The confidence I get from the last two things allows me to relax and have fun.
I use the EM5 mk2 with primes and the EM1 mk2 with the Pan Leica 8-18 for landscape and my 40-150 f2.8 pro for zoom. I feel the f4 aperture better suits FF cameras, that said if I owned one I am sure I would be more than happy, although I do like the rendering of the 1.8 primes.
I got EM5mkIII shortly after it was released and I used Pana Leica 25/1.4 (2nd gen which is weather sealed) to get my lightweight, “go anywhere” set. As soon as I got my hands on 12-45/4 I was blown away by optical quality of this little zoom. I put it on and keeping Leica 25/1.4 for evenings but honestly optical quality of Olympus 12-45/4 is far superior (sharpness, CA). I still do love PanaLeica 25/1.4 for special charm when it is wide open. Peter, thanks for review, it is indeed perfect combo!
Your comparison of a leisure camera being similar to changing out of work clothes and into something more casual and comfortable was absolutely brilliant.
I keep watching this video and wishing I had chosen this lens when I bought my kit. Got the 14-150mm which is also weather sealed but I rarely extend it beyond 45mm and have discovered I like to get up close to my subject. Learn something new every day.
Great review,now I am really feeling good about getting this Combo last month.I have had no problems using the standard grip so far.I considered getting the ECG-5 grip,but did not. I will put the money saved towards a fast Prime instead. The build quality on both the Body and Lens is excellent.I like your idea about shooting in bad weather for a different perspective and not have to worry about ruining your equipment.
I own a Panasonic fz330 24-600 with weather proofing and many features. I didn't want to carry a dslr and to have to change lenses any more. I take it hiking, family trips, and occasional airshows. My daughter has just got an OM-D 10 ii and it is so small and light that I am now considering mft. The only thing that worries me is the Olympus menu system! I want better image quality and a light system so this combination is very appealing. I have massive hands so can see I'd probably buy the additional grip. I really like your videos. You don't try to force the biggest, most expensive things and have a common sense approach for amateurs/enthusiasts. Thank you Peter.
You pretty much never use the menu system outside setting it up and customising it for yourself. After that everything is available via the super control panel(SCP) and external buttons etc. The only time I use the menus in the field is if I need to format/delete an SD card!
Great video. I do like your tip 6 and comparing the E-M5.3 and the 12-45/f4.0 the E-M1.2 and the 12-40/f2.8. I feel the same way but it is with the E-M1.3 and the 12-45/f4.0 as the fun setup to the E-M1X and the 12-40/f2.8 as the serious setup. I really love the 12-45/f4.0. I love how close it focuses, especially on the wide end. I believe the 12-45/f4.0 will really come into its own if or when the other F4.0 lenses (8-24) and 40-150) that is on the lens roadmap gets released. I find the E-M5 series of cameras to be a little too small with ergonomics that is compromised to get the size. Then again I do love my Pen F for my family/social outing camera.
I started playing with Olympus cameras in 1978. A discovery. Now I'm home, it is harmony around me. I'm waiting tomorrow to get delivery of my new EM5 mkiii + 12-45. I had during these years different things, but always. I'm coming back to Olympus. It is not the best in everything...Neither the worst... But it is the only one living on this DNA...
Hallo Peter, du sprichst so ein gutes Englisch. Deine Videos schaue ich mir seit drei Wochen an und bin begeistert von den Infos die du gibst. Das 12-45mm f4 habe ich mir heute bei Olympus bestellt. Da gab es die 200€ Aktion. Bin gespannt ob es so viel mehr Bildqualität bringt gegenüber dem Kit - Objektiv.
Hi Peter yes it seems a great combo. I have 2 cameras (including the em5iii) & 4 primes but I’ve been surprised by the quality of this zoom & I’m often tempted to get it for those days when I don’t want to change lenses. It’s also on sale with a famous online shop atm for the same price as 2nd hand options. Regards Rich
Peter, came back to update my report from 2 years ago, can't believe that time has gone by so fast since I purchased my M5. I can say that because of the advanced image stability in the OM body over Canon, and the high price of Canon glass, I sold/gave away the Canon system to go exclusively M43 Olympus/OM. I have added a 45 & 75mm primes and 12-100 zoom & very happy I did. No question that the Canon system takes a beautiful image, but OM with its IS body is the one I go to first, and despite the small edge image wise, I was leaving my canon at home for OM (M5 mkIII) everyday. Shot my daughters wedding beach images using the above glass. I may try the OM5 later for the simplified features, but menu familiarty for me is vital at the end of the day, and owning one system is best for me in that case. Kind regards and thank you for your capable and honest evaluations. I hope that OM will recognize the value good people add to a product, and you have done a stellar job for me, thanks again, Mark Rose
Hi Peter, thank you for making this and your other videos. I really appreciate the way you talk about your experience of using the gear. I know any modern camera will take good pictures so I am not so interested in micro-analysing specifications as what I want to know is what it is like to use everyday. I have had a Canon DSLR for about 10 years and found I barely use it anymore because of the size and lack of weather sealing, instead just using my iPhone for everyday photography. The DSLR still takes great pictures, but the problem is is does not make me ‘want’ to take pictures. Anyway, I purchased the e-m5 mk3 + 12-45 f4 pro the other day and I must say I absolutely love it. The things I wanted in a camera were: small and compact, weather sealed, good video, and the X factor that makes me want to pick it up and go shoot. This is perfect, ticking all the box’s, and both the body and lens feel incredibly well made and solid despite being lightweight. Thanks again for opening my eyes to Olympus. Cheers.
This video of yours just came up for me, probably because I just ordered this combo on a Black Friday sale and the algorithms watch everything we do. I agonized over whether to get just the body or the pro lens as well, since I have other lenses that cover this range and not sure if it will be significantly better than the Tamron 14-150 that usually lives on my camera. The weather sealing and close focus distance made the decision for me to go for the extra $400 USD on the bundle. $400 is a steal for a pro lens, on top of that. I already have an EM5 mk2 and EM1 mkI. The EM5 appears that it will have many of my favorite features from the EM1, but in a more compact form similar to the EM5, which is my go-to. Thanks for some good info.
Yes, Peter. I get it! I fortunately own this E-M5 MKIII combination and I use it on occasion. When I do grab this camera it feels fun and so easy to carry about that it’s a little energizing for me. Definitely a fun and very well made camera. I do use a much larger SLR on occasion and I very much suffer fatigue from the sheer weight of the camera. With the EM5 III I am able to carry all day and never feel any fatigue. The camera you review here is definitely a real PLEASURE to use. I have a few SLR toting friends who are (I believe) secretly envious of this camera haha but they will not admit it... Again, thanks for your posting here!!
I just bought myself this E5 Mark III and also owns the Olympus lens 14-150 mm f/4-5.6. Ask me if the 12-45 mm f/4 would give me an additional value, by also buying it?
Very hard to say. 14-150mm is a good lens. 12-45mm does not really add up to the other lens. It is a bit better quality since it is a pro-line-up lens.
I agree on having both cameras..myEM1/2 is used for planned, focussed photography projects, and my EM5/2 for travel and particularly when hiking. It is lighter, smaller and cheaper, so I am less concerned about damaging it.
The 12-40 Pro with the MF clutch for me every time when I'm out on the street. It's saved me missing a shot on a number of occasions. Same thing with my 12-100 Pro on the EM1ii.
Outside of the constant f4 aperture, are there other advantages over the 12-50mm? I feel that the 12-50mm is a lens that I have found very recently ... it's probably one of the most over-looked lenses in the Olympus line-up and can be had used for $200-US or less. Despite having some much better lenses (technically) in my collection, I often find the 12-50 on my Em5-iii the most. I have found the 12-50 to have a lot of perks- weather-sealing, function button, manual & electronic zooming, and a great macro mode. I love using this lens- it's like a swiss army knife of lenses- always on my camera during "leisure-time" shooting! It would be interesting to see a comparison between the two. How does the 12-45 compare with the macro mode on the 12-50, for example?
You are right about the 12-50mm lens. It is a very good lens. I have tested once. I have tried to look to get one, but have not found a used one that was reasonable priced. It has been discontinued and it is not any more in the lens line-up.
Having just come from the E-30 to the E-M1 Mkii I can appreciate having the smaller package. I guess since you've been using the E-M1 series for quite some time, you find the same difference exists between the 1 and the 5 series. I also get your final point and it does make sense. I also have the Peak Design wrist strap and think it is a superb piece of equipment and very well thought out. Really enjoying being a subscriber to your channel; thank you.
Peter, I just ordered an M5 after watching one of your reviews. Also picked the same lens and the non-sealed 40-150 to try. I shoot in Alaska and also suggested it to my friend for the IS and weather sealing. Thank you for the review. Mark
The use of this camera as a personal camera and its relaxed "feel " for you makes total sense. Now I'm wondering if i actually need an E-M1 Mark II or this E-M5?
I got my E-M5III with the 14-150 kit before they released the 12-45 kit. Now that I have purchased the 12-40 f2.8 pro used I do not see a need to get the 12-45 f4 pro. For my needs I think I would still get the 14-150 kit as it’s a good all around telephoto lens that is also weather sealed.
Reason 6 makes total sense! While I was very critical about the E-M5 III when it came out, so many little things turned up in the meantime (on your channel, and Robin's, and others) that make this camera really interesting for me, especially as it is sold as a kit - with the 12-45mm f4 Pro … ;-)
Hi Peter, a question for you: did you really have an E-M5 III + 12-45 on your desk? If so, would you mind to show it a bit more in your next video. For what I see (or I didn’t see) it doesn’t seems like you appreciated it tat much as you’ve haven’t shown it once throughout this clip. Thanks!
Great review Peter. I love your videos and helpful tipps. I am currently using the 12-45 Pro with a m10 Mk 3 and am very satisfied with the quality and handling of the lens. I guess I will upgrade to the M5 Mk 3 soon to have those extra features and the weather sealing. The M10 would then be my backup with the very handy Kit Lens.
A very good review indeed, Peter. I am contemplating buying this combination, now I´m positive. Thank you!!!! The EM1 Mark ii/12-40 pro combo is too big for most of my work, so I´m replacing it with this smaller one.
It is not a big deal, but of course if the battery could be removed with out removing the grip it would be better. As Joel said the USB-charging is a good feature and can be done with out removing the grip.
As a lifelong camcorder user, I now want to incorporate more stills into my travel videos, so need a really good hybrid camera. Your reviews have been tremendously helpful and I settled on the Olympus OMD EM5 III for four reasons: weather-sealing, great image stabilisation, it’s a lovely camera to hold and it’s the only camera I can find that has an audio note facility to identify stills. However, I’m now worried. In another review of the Olympus 12-45 f.4 lens you said that the camera cannot maintain autofocus while zooming in video. I also saw Mathieu Gasquet’s review of the EM5 and the failure of the camera to maintain autofocus in video on a fast approaching subject (in his case human) until it got quite close to the camera. In other reviews, I have seen the autofocus sometimes erring in video mode and though it may be for only a split second it can ruin the shot. I have no interest in vlogging or bokeh and mainly shoot crowd scenes (e.g. markets), landscapes and architecture. Are these autofocus problems down to the lens or to the camera itself? I’ve been making videos of my travels since way back in 1978, firstly with the original JVC multi-unit consumer system and then mainly with Sony camcorders, and never had an issue with autofocus, whether zooming or otherwise. Thanks for your advice.
The autofocus in video is very good. While zooming it is not the AF, it is the lens. If you have the Face priority on it is be quite good keeping the focus on the face. Just choose the face by touching the screen to set AF point.
Hello Peter, thanks for this video, I myself have an omd em5 mark3 and some fixed lenses, I'm very interested in this combo but I'm a little worried with the low aperture at f4, is it a big problem as soon as the light goes down? Do you own it and use it a lot?
I understand absolutely your reasons for using the EM5 in your freetime instead of the EM1. I think I would be the same if I was a profi. Thats one of the reasons I like you and your videos: emotions are very important too.
Peter; I completely understand your last comment; that you feel when using the Em5 MIII that you are more relaxed, not on an assignment. Everyone needs some down time!
Thanks a lot for this video. It is certainly a great combo but for the time being I am still very happy with my OMD EM1 Mark II/12-40 mm combo alternated with my 60 mm macro lens...
Hi Peter, thanks for your videos! I have the em5iii and love it. Super compact, insanely fun and great to carry everywhere. My Nikon D750 rarely comes out anymore and feels gigantic now. I Primarily shoot 1.8 primes but considering the 12-45 pro for walkabout and daytime family snaps. Thinking of picking up the ec g 5 grip at some point but wondering if it affects the weather sealing of the camera and if the grip itself is weather sealed. Can’t find anything online regarding that. Do you happen to know?? Thanks
It does. There is nothing wrong with the 12-40mm f2.8. I just like the size of the 12-45mm f4 lens. It is more convenient for me for my leisure photography. For most of my professional work I use the 12-40 f2.8.
12-40/2.8 is excellent lens. Really is. But it ain’t perfect ;) Some pixel peeps at 2.8 may find imperfections. 12-45/4 starting wide open is brilliant, really brilliant. So technically speaking it is hard to find any optical flows in 12-45/4 but for me it is not a only main point. 12-40/2.8 on EM5MKIII fells too front heavy and EM5 doesn’t have large grip as EM1, so handling is not ideal. 12-45/4 balance and fits EM5 ideally. Even little grip on EM5MKIII makes handling natural. Personally, I am using described combo mostly for hiking, when it is not too dark and where i usually don’t need shallow DOF. So weight and optical quality of combo outshines F/4 limitations. Btw, another PRO lens which shines on EM5MKIII is 8/1.8 Fisheye which I usually de-fisheye with OWS.
castiel vargas Totally understand and agree - F/4 is not a perfect “all around” aperture, this is why I am always keeping PanaLeica 25/1.4 next to it ;) If someone already has 12-40/2.8 there very little point to buy 12-45/4.
Hi Peter. Nice video and good tips. Two things i like to mention. First it would be nice if photo stacking(not only bracketing) could also be possible in the em10 series. Then i would like to know what is your thoughts on the tripod mount failures that happened to some oly omd5 mk3 owners. Do you think its isolated,to heavy lenses extenders etc, or mal handling by the owners. Lastly how do you get the lens names(focal lenghts) on your lens caps. Like the idea. Thanks.
Those lens caps are from lenzbuddy.com. I have not sen how the tripod mount has been broken. Most likely it is the user, but it sounds bad. I need to look into that.
Nice video (as always). I have the E-M5 III. I think it is a great camera. I wonder if Olympus could add noise cancelling image stacking option to OMD cameras. Thanks to this smartphones take so good images in low light. Peter, do you think it makes sense in m43 cameras?
Hi, I think it is not about difference in megapixels. It is about difference in sensors. These 20mpx sensors are step above of old 16mpx. When few years ago I were looking on m43 systems and it had 16mpx sensors as top of the line, I could not see my self switching, it was debatable. After I evaluated images from 20mpx m43 cameras, personally I could not longer justify for myself using FF (at least in my photography style). It has nothing to do with pixel density it is more my personal perception of images.
Mike Freider I have the 16 mp em1 and 5 Mark ii. I am thinking of upgrading. The only reason would be for image quality. I am quite satisfied with everything else. So what is your take on image quality?
Warren Fox I don’t have much of experience with old 16mpx m43 sensors just played around and assessment. New bodies EM5mkIII and EM1mkIII it is way more then just new sensors but if we narrow down to pure image quality, I can say - after switching from 36mpx FF - I never looked back.
Cheers for this Peter, i've just taken the plunge and moved across from Canon DSLR as i'm not convinced about their mirrorless range and price of the lenses. I've bought this combo and waiting for it to arrive now. i've added a 75-300mm lens and saving up for the 25mm prime.Just wondered about legacy lenses as i've got some nice pentax k and olympus om lenses. Do the micro 4/3 cameras work ok with these via adapters? (i understand about the manual only operations, as i have used them with my Canon dslr in the past)
Also slightly offtopic... Hi-Res mode on M5 Mk III can do up to 80Mpix RAW files, but i really dont understand why its everywhere advertised as 50Mpix :D
Great video Peter and I am warming to the plastic MIII concept so if I can afford one at some point I may well do so for the focusiing technology. - One question is when cash is flowing again and you have returned this combo to Olympus, would you then spend your own hard earned money on it, or would you use your existing gear as the liesure camera? Thanks again. Pete
The lens choice depends on what you need. If you need more wide angle and reach the 14-150mm is better. I personally prefer the compact size of 12-45mm f4.
Thank you for this video Peter . I have a question for you - on a scale of 1 - don't touch it to 100 wonderful ! how would you rate this combinatioin compared to an M5 MARKII and 14-42mm f 3.5 to f5.6 EZ lens ??
it is hard to say for others. The E-m5 MKII and the kit lens is a good combo too. I personally do not like the electronic zoom, but it can be handy when used to it. The E-M5 MKIII and the 12-45mm f4 is better. The camera is better and the lens. But to be honest in everyday shooting most do not see a huge difference. Also the E-M5 MKIII and 12-45mm f4 Pro is totally weather sealed combo.
I used my em1 III for two month and more but when used my em5 III again I was very happy with the handeming even em1 III has a great grip... but .... the easiest to use is the em1 III em5 III easiest than em5 II and this is easiest than I. Every generation is easy. Still have them all
As an Olympus ambassador, please ask the company about the multiple cases reported on DPReview that show that the tripod mount can literally rip out of the plastic base plate. There are 5 documented cases so far. I don't think anyone can be convinced of the ruggedness and reliability of this plastic body unless that is addressed.
I have the EM5 ii (which I love !) plus 14-150mm lens combo for travel plus a 17mm f1.8 (for inside shots mostly) and the pancake kit lens (for when when convenience is king) . The weight of the 12-45mm f4 pro seems not that different from the 14-150mm and they are both weather sealed. . Are there any advantages to the 12-45mm over the 14-150mm aside from the constant aperture and a little extra on the wide end (12mm vs 14mm) ? Is the image quality significantly better/sharper ?
@@tizio54 thanks ! I am considering it as a walk around lens where a mid zoom is adequate. For European travel, I do like the reach of the 14-150mm. For travel in north america the 12-45 would be fine.
Bit like Tizio said. I've had the 12-45 for a couple of weeks now and it is certainly sharper in that range. There were a couple of times when I shot something a bit further away and had to crop in later, and then the 14-150 (my go-to travel lens for the last few years) would simply have been better as I could have filled more of the frame with what I was shooting and ended up with a crisper shot.
@@angusgregson9385 I have a similar experience with my Apsc cameras. My 16-70 f4 is sharper but for European travel my go to is my 18-200mm. I say europe because there are many times where there are interesting architectural details high up on churches and palaces and lots of things to zoom in on when up on towers and battlements. Not so much in north america where most of the architecture is modern in cities and the historic architecture is generally low rise so a mid range zoom is fine for 90 percent or more of the time. Picking the most suitable lens for the occasion is what I try to do (within my budget of course).
14-150mm lens has it advances. It is a bit more versatile. I have tested them both. I prefer the 12-45mm f4. It is more compact and the zoom range is just perfect for me. The image quality of 12-45mm f4 is better than 14--150mm has, but in most cases the difference is not that meaningful. That is not a thing that I would worry about.
This lens is made for the em5 mark III, like the 12-40 for the em1 mark II (or III), but the absence of focusing distance indications is a real shame ...
Hey guys, currently running a Panasonic G80 was wondering if there were any video shooters here, what would be the best camera em1mk2 or em5mk3? Thank you
Hello Miles, Both cameras are great for video but the EM1 Mk2 has the edge because it has a headphone jack. The stabilisation in both models is astounding.
It all depends on what and how you are shooting video. E-M5 MKIII is great for vlogging. Very light and easy to use as a vlogging cam. If you are shooting interviews and similar type of content I would go with the E-M1 MKII or MKIII. Both of these cameras have OM-Log400 and headphone jack. Other than that the differences are minimal.
I understand #6. I too have a high-end camera that I use for "precision work" and a mid-range model with a standard zoom for a relaxed walk in the forest.
Nice video. I think your point that this is sort of your "leisure camera" makes totally sense. For me, the em-5 is maybe the best looking camera on the market. I love the vintage look of it. (PEN-F and Fujis are close though)
I agree - I love the look of the EM5. Makes you want to pick it up and go shoot pictures :-) I am a little miffed at Olympus about the PEN-F. I had been saving up to get the silver version and just when I was getting close to biting the bullet, they discontinued it !!! I was hoping for a weather sealed version of the PEN F to come out ...
@@des4719 In Canada the Olympus web site only has the black version for sale which is likely old stock. All the camera stores list the silver version as out of stock and discontinued.
I'm sure it's a great camera photo wise, Olympus features have been admirable for a long time and pro lenses are always top notch, but I cannot get away from the plastic feel of it, within about a month of having one Rob Trek had knocked a button off, and just from handling the thing the switches feel plasticky, it just FEELS fragile, which is a total shame because I want to like it, and as I said im sure it's a great camera but I just wouldn't have the confidence taking it out and about, also as here in the UK the price isnt far off an EM1.ii it's really hard to find a reason to choose the 5.iii over the 1.ii 😔
Spain : (this week) OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5 Mark III + 12-45mm F4 PRO + extra batt = € 1,450 (last week) OLYMPUS OM-D E-M1 Mark II + 12-45mm F4 PRO = € 1,380 The best choice was obvious.
@@ForsgardPeter I already did it, I got the 12-45 PRO combo with E-M1 II. The funny thing is that in the deals that last a week, this combo (official distributor Olympus Spain) was cheaper than the body of the camera alone! Crazy!
Thanks Peter, fine review on the gear -- the lens looks like pretty good, but would wait for a couple hundred off on that price, or more. The camera is fine, but I wish they had stayed with the more premium all metal build. Alas, overall it wins as a much improved design and performance over the previous model, so that is important. On another note, I found another camera discussion RUclips site which is good for general photographic talk. It is Ramon Trotman Photography site ruclips.net/channel/UCT9XvfjClG9eatnysKei78Qvideos -Loren
Dear Peter When you show us your beautiful pictures, it would be extremely didactic to add to each of them the following: ISO, APERTURE, and SHUTTER SPEED. don't you think? Thanks in advance
I know and I have done it sometimes, but on this one I didi not think it was so important. The exposure values are so different on evert occasion. Maybe Iso could have been something. But you are right it would be better to have them.
Thank you Peter. I completely agree with your comment about considering the M5 as fun and leisurely vs M1. For me this works for three reasons. 1. The M5 is smaller, lighter and just feels more fun 2. It has the same sensor as my M1, so I don’t become anxious that I’ll end up with inferior photos 3. It’s weather sealed so I don’t feel I’m using a junior camera. The confidence I get from the last two things allows me to relax and have fun.
I use the EM5 mk2 with primes and the EM1 mk2 with the Pan Leica 8-18 for landscape and my 40-150 f2.8 pro for zoom. I feel the f4 aperture better suits FF cameras, that said if I owned one I am sure I would be more than happy, although I do like the rendering of the 1.8 primes.
I got EM5mkIII shortly after it was released and I used Pana Leica 25/1.4 (2nd gen which is weather sealed) to get my lightweight, “go anywhere” set. As soon as I got my hands on 12-45/4 I was blown away by optical quality of this little zoom. I put it on and keeping Leica 25/1.4 for evenings but honestly optical quality of Olympus 12-45/4 is far superior (sharpness, CA). I still do love PanaLeica 25/1.4 for special charm when it is wide open.
Peter, thanks for review, it is indeed perfect combo!
Your comparison of a leisure camera being similar to changing out of work clothes and into something more casual and comfortable was absolutely brilliant.
Thanks.
I keep watching this video and wishing I had chosen this lens when I bought my kit. Got the 14-150mm which is also weather sealed but I rarely extend it beyond 45mm and have discovered I like to get up close to my subject. Learn something new every day.
Great review,now I am really feeling good about getting this Combo last month.I have had no problems using the standard grip so far.I considered getting the ECG-5 grip,but did not. I will put the money saved towards a fast Prime instead.
The build quality on both the Body and Lens is excellent.I like your idea about shooting in bad weather for a different perspective and not have to worry about ruining your equipment.
I own a Panasonic fz330 24-600 with weather proofing and many features. I didn't want to carry a dslr and to have to change lenses any more. I take it hiking, family trips, and occasional airshows.
My daughter has just got an OM-D 10 ii and it is so small and light that I am now considering mft. The only thing that worries me is the Olympus menu system! I want better image quality and a light system so this combination is very appealing. I have massive hands so can see I'd probably buy the additional grip. I really like your videos. You don't try to force the biggest, most expensive things and have a common sense approach for amateurs/enthusiasts. Thank you Peter.
You pretty much never use the menu system outside setting it up and customising it for yourself. After that everything is available via the super control panel(SCP) and external buttons etc. The only time I use the menus in the field is if I need to format/delete an SD card!
Great video. I do like your tip 6 and comparing the E-M5.3 and the 12-45/f4.0 the E-M1.2 and the 12-40/f2.8. I feel the same way but it is with the E-M1.3 and the 12-45/f4.0 as the fun setup to the E-M1X and the 12-40/f2.8 as the serious setup. I really love the 12-45/f4.0. I love how close it focuses, especially on the wide end. I believe the 12-45/f4.0 will really come into its own if or when the other F4.0 lenses (8-24) and 40-150) that is on the lens roadmap gets released. I find the E-M5 series of cameras to be a little too small with ergonomics that is compromised to get the size. Then again I do love my Pen F for my family/social outing camera.
I started playing with Olympus cameras in 1978. A discovery. Now I'm home, it is harmony around me. I'm waiting tomorrow to get delivery of my new EM5 mkiii + 12-45. I had during these years different things, but always. I'm coming back to Olympus. It is not the best in everything...Neither the worst... But it is the only one living on this DNA...
Hallo Peter, du sprichst so ein gutes Englisch. Deine Videos schaue ich mir seit drei Wochen an und bin begeistert von den Infos die du gibst. Das 12-45mm f4 habe ich mir heute bei Olympus bestellt. Da gab es die 200€ Aktion. Bin gespannt ob es so viel mehr Bildqualität bringt gegenüber dem Kit - Objektiv.
Hi Peter yes it seems a great combo. I have 2 cameras (including the em5iii) & 4 primes but I’ve been surprised by the quality of this zoom & I’m often tempted to get it for those days when I don’t want to change lenses. It’s also on sale with a famous online shop atm for the same price as 2nd hand options. Regards Rich
Peter, came back to update my report from 2 years ago, can't believe that time has gone by so fast since I purchased my M5. I can say that because of the advanced image stability in the OM body over Canon, and the high price of Canon glass, I sold/gave away the Canon system to go exclusively M43 Olympus/OM. I have added a 45 & 75mm primes and 12-100 zoom & very happy I did. No question that the Canon system takes a beautiful image, but OM with its IS body is the one I go to first, and despite the small edge image wise, I was leaving my canon at home for OM (M5 mkIII) everyday. Shot my daughters wedding beach images using the above glass. I may try the OM5 later for the simplified features, but menu familiarty for me is vital at the end of the day, and owning one system is best for me in that case. Kind regards and thank you for your capable and honest evaluations. I hope that OM will recognize the value good people add to a product, and you have done a stellar job for me, thanks again, Mark Rose
Thanks for sharing and thank you.
Hi Peter, thank you for making this and your other videos. I really appreciate the way you talk about your experience of using the gear. I know any modern camera will take good pictures so I am not so interested in micro-analysing specifications as what I want to know is what it is like to use everyday. I have had a Canon DSLR for about 10 years and found I barely use it anymore because of the size and lack of weather sealing, instead just using my iPhone for everyday photography. The DSLR still takes great pictures, but the problem is is does not make me ‘want’ to take pictures.
Anyway, I purchased the e-m5 mk3 + 12-45 f4 pro the other day and I must say I absolutely love it. The things I wanted in a camera were: small and compact, weather sealed, good video, and the X factor that makes me want to pick it up and go shoot. This is perfect, ticking all the box’s, and both the body and lens feel incredibly well made and solid despite being lightweight. Thanks again for opening my eyes to Olympus. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing.
This video of yours just came up for me, probably because I just ordered this combo on a Black Friday sale and the algorithms watch everything we do. I agonized over whether to get just the body or the pro lens as well, since I have other lenses that cover this range and not sure if it will be significantly better than the Tamron 14-150 that usually lives on my camera. The weather sealing and close focus distance made the decision for me to go for the extra $400 USD on the bundle. $400 is a steal for a pro lens, on top of that. I already have an EM5 mk2 and EM1 mkI. The EM5 appears that it will have many of my favorite features from the EM1, but in a more compact form similar to the EM5, which is my go-to. Thanks for some good info.
Yes, Peter. I get it! I fortunately own this E-M5 MKIII combination and I use it on occasion. When I do grab this camera it feels fun and so easy to carry about that it’s a little energizing for me. Definitely a fun and very well made camera. I do use a much larger SLR on occasion and I very much suffer fatigue from the sheer weight of the camera. With the EM5 III I am able to carry all day and never feel any fatigue. The camera you review here is definitely a real PLEASURE to use. I have a few SLR toting friends who are (I believe) secretly envious of this camera haha but they will not admit it... Again, thanks for your posting here!!
I just bought myself this E5 Mark III and also owns the Olympus lens 14-150 mm f/4-5.6.
Ask me if the 12-45 mm f/4 would give me an additional value, by also buying it?
Very hard to say. 14-150mm is a good lens. 12-45mm does not really add up to the other lens. It is a bit better quality since it is a pro-line-up lens.
@@ForsgardPeter Thanks for your advice. Have a nice day. Greetings from Belgium. Freddy Van Erp
I agree on having both cameras..myEM1/2 is used for planned, focussed photography projects, and my EM5/2 for travel and particularly when hiking. It is lighter, smaller and cheaper, so I am less concerned about damaging it.
The 12-40 Pro with the MF clutch for me every time when I'm out on the street. It's saved me missing a shot on a number of occasions. Same thing with my 12-100 Pro on the EM1ii.
Outside of the constant f4 aperture, are there other advantages over the 12-50mm? I feel that the 12-50mm is a lens that I have found very recently ... it's probably one of the most over-looked lenses in the Olympus line-up and can be had used for $200-US or less. Despite having some much better lenses (technically) in my collection, I often find the 12-50 on my Em5-iii the most. I have found the 12-50 to have a lot of perks- weather-sealing, function button, manual & electronic zooming, and a great macro mode. I love using this lens- it's like a swiss army knife of lenses- always on my camera during "leisure-time" shooting! It would be interesting to see a comparison between the two. How does the 12-45 compare with the macro mode on the 12-50, for example?
You are right about the 12-50mm lens. It is a very good lens. I have tested once. I have tried to look to get one, but have not found a used one that was reasonable priced. It has been discontinued and it is not any more in the lens line-up.
Having just come from the E-30 to the E-M1 Mkii I can appreciate having the smaller package. I guess since you've been using the E-M1 series for quite some time, you find the same difference exists between the 1 and the 5 series. I also get your final point and it does make sense.
I also have the Peak Design wrist strap and think it is a superb piece of equipment and very well thought out.
Really enjoying being a subscriber to your channel; thank you.
Thank you.
Peter, I just ordered an M5 after watching one of your reviews. Also picked the same lens and the non-sealed 40-150 to try. I shoot in Alaska and also suggested it to my friend for the IS and weather sealing. Thank you for the review. Mark
Sounds great!
The use of this camera as a personal camera and its relaxed "feel " for you makes total sense. Now I'm wondering if i actually need an E-M1 Mark II or this E-M5?
I got my E-M5III with the 14-150 kit before they released the 12-45 kit. Now that I have purchased the 12-40 f2.8 pro used I do not see a need to get the 12-45 f4 pro. For my needs I think I would still get the 14-150 kit as it’s a good all around telephoto lens that is also weather sealed.
i you already have the 12-40mm f2.8 Pro most likely you do not need the 12-45 f4.
Peter Forsgård if I ever got that lens I would get it for my wife who has an E-PL9.
Reason 6 makes total sense! While I was very critical about the E-M5 III when it came out, so many little things turned up in the meantime (on your channel, and Robin's, and others) that make this camera really interesting for me, especially as it is sold as a kit - with the 12-45mm f4 Pro … ;-)
Hi Peter, a question for you: did you really have an E-M5 III + 12-45 on your desk? If so, would you mind to show it a bit more in your next video. For what I see (or I didn’t see) it doesn’t seems like you appreciated it tat much as you’ve haven’t shown it once throughout this clip. Thanks!
Yes I did. Here is another video about it: ruclips.net/video/xqVIxEX9wmE/видео.html
Great review Peter. I love your videos and helpful tipps.
I am currently using the 12-45 Pro with a m10 Mk 3 and am very satisfied with the quality and handling of the lens. I guess I will upgrade to the M5 Mk 3 soon to have those extra features and the weather sealing. The M10 would then be my backup with the very handy Kit Lens.
E-M5 MKIII is a great choice!
A very good review indeed, Peter. I am contemplating buying this combination, now I´m positive. Thank you!!!! The EM1 Mark ii/12-40 pro combo is too big for most of my work, so I´m replacing it with this smaller one.
Glad it was helpful!
Could I assign MF to a button, so I could easily switch between S-AF and MF if using the 12-45mm f/4 pro lens?
Yes it can be assigned to a button.
Great video as always Peter. Keep it up.
Thank you. I try my best.
Peter thank you for posting this video. Do you find the ECG-5 Grip to be difficult to remove when changing batteries?
@James, it takes 5 seconds, no problems... but it’s certainly easier to charge via USB when you’re using the grip.
I must agree with Joel, I am glad that I got my grip. It also makes it easy to use with my 12-40 F2.8😍
It is not a big deal, but of course if the battery could be removed with out removing the grip it would be better. As Joel said the USB-charging is a good feature and can be done with out removing the grip.
Thank you all for the replies.
As a lifelong camcorder user, I now want to incorporate more stills into my travel videos, so need a really good hybrid camera. Your reviews have been tremendously helpful and I settled on the Olympus OMD EM5 III for four reasons: weather-sealing, great image stabilisation, it’s a lovely camera to hold and it’s the only camera I can find that has an audio note facility to identify stills.
However, I’m now worried. In another review of the Olympus 12-45 f.4 lens you said that the camera cannot maintain autofocus while zooming in video. I also saw Mathieu Gasquet’s review of the EM5 and the failure of the camera to maintain autofocus in video on a fast approaching subject (in his case human) until it got quite close to the camera. In other reviews, I have seen the autofocus sometimes erring in video mode and though it may be for only a split second it can ruin the shot. I have no interest in vlogging or bokeh and mainly shoot crowd scenes (e.g. markets), landscapes and architecture.
Are these autofocus problems down to the lens or to the camera itself? I’ve been making videos of my travels since way back in 1978, firstly with the original JVC multi-unit consumer system and then mainly with Sony camcorders, and never had an issue with autofocus, whether zooming or otherwise. Thanks for your advice.
The autofocus in video is very good. While zooming it is not the AF, it is the lens. If you have the Face priority on it is be quite good keeping the focus on the face. Just choose the face by touching the screen to set AF point.
@@ForsgardPeter Many thanks! And keep the great video reviews coming.
I don’t need another camera right now but I’m really drooling on this combo. 🤤
I have never met someone who doesn’t need another camera. 😉
Hello Peter, thanks for this video, I myself have an omd em5 mark3 and some fixed lenses, I'm very interested in this combo but I'm a little worried with the low aperture at f4, is it a big problem as soon as the light goes down? Do you own it and use it a lot?
At the moment I do not have this combo. I do have f4 lenses and they quite ok. Of course when it gets darker the f4 might not be enough.
I understand absolutely your reasons for using the EM5 in your freetime instead of the EM1. I think I would be the same if I was a profi. Thats one of the reasons I like you and your videos: emotions are very important too.
Thanks.
Peter; I completely understand your last comment; that you feel when using the Em5 MIII that you are more relaxed, not on an assignment.
Everyone needs some down time!
Thanks a lot for this video. It is certainly a great combo but for the time being I am still very happy with my OMD EM1 Mark II/12-40 mm combo alternated with my 60 mm macro lens...
The combo you have works well too.
I just bought one yesterday. I'll sell 12-40 to buy 12-45. thanks for your videos
You are welcome. Enjoy your new lens!
Peter did you take the photo on the screen on your computer?
And Peter could the EM5 MKIII replace the EM1 MKII/III in your photobag? Why/Why not?
No I used a capture card and recorded my screen with Ecamm Live. The same software I use for live streaming..
I could. There is one thing why the E-M1 MKII/MKIII is better for pro work. Dual card slots.
Hi Peter, thanks for your videos! I have the em5iii and love it. Super compact, insanely fun and great to carry everywhere. My Nikon D750 rarely comes out anymore and feels gigantic now. I Primarily shoot 1.8 primes but considering the 12-45 pro for walkabout and daytime family snaps. Thinking of picking up the ec g 5 grip at some point but wondering if it affects the weather sealing of the camera and if the grip itself is weather sealed. Can’t find anything online regarding that. Do you happen to know?? Thanks
It does not affect the weather sealing. it just a grip and there is no electricity.
What is wrong with the 12-40mm f/2.8? I have the Mark III and it works great with the 12 to 40.
It does. There is nothing wrong with the 12-40mm f2.8. I just like the size of the 12-45mm f4 lens. It is more convenient for me for my leisure photography. For most of my professional work I use the 12-40 f2.8.
So size does matter!
12-40/2.8 is excellent lens. Really is. But it ain’t perfect ;) Some pixel peeps at 2.8 may find imperfections. 12-45/4 starting wide open is brilliant, really brilliant. So technically speaking it is hard to find any optical flows in 12-45/4 but for me it is not a only main point. 12-40/2.8 on EM5MKIII fells too front heavy and EM5 doesn’t have large grip as EM1, so handling is not ideal. 12-45/4 balance and fits EM5 ideally. Even little grip on EM5MKIII makes handling natural. Personally, I am using described combo mostly for hiking, when it is not too dark and where i usually don’t need shallow DOF. So weight and optical quality of combo outshines F/4 limitations. Btw, another PRO lens which shines on EM5MKIII is 8/1.8 Fisheye which I usually de-fisheye with OWS.
Mike Freider 4.0 is a no go for me mft cams need much light. I love my 12-40 2.8 and the picture quality is good enough for everything
castiel vargas Totally understand and agree - F/4 is not a perfect “all around” aperture, this is why I am always keeping PanaLeica 25/1.4 next to it ;) If someone already has 12-40/2.8 there very little point to buy 12-45/4.
Hi Peter. Nice video and good tips. Two things i like to mention. First it would be nice if photo stacking(not only bracketing) could also be possible in the em10 series. Then i would like to know what is your thoughts on the tripod mount failures that happened to some oly omd5 mk3 owners. Do you think its isolated,to heavy lenses extenders etc, or mal handling by the owners. Lastly how do you get the lens names(focal lenghts) on your lens caps. Like the idea. Thanks.
Those lens caps are from lenzbuddy.com. I have not sen how the tripod mount has been broken. Most likely it is the user, but it sounds bad. I need to look into that.
I constantly get my lens caps mixed up, those labels wouldn’t help me at all, LOL.
I really like the EM-5 III, but with the added cost of the grip, it exceeds the cost of the EM-1 II. How is handling without the grip?
I like the grip.It all depends on the size of your hand.
Is there any way to monitor the audio?
Unfortunately there is not from camera. If tou use an external recorder there is.
@@ForsgardPeter thanks very much. That's what's holding me back from it even though I found one of the great price
Of course, that makes sense👍 Great video!
Thank you.
Nice video (as always). I have the E-M5 III. I think it is a great camera. I wonder if Olympus could add noise cancelling image stacking option to OMD cameras. Thanks to this smartphones take so good images in low light. Peter, do you think it makes sense in m43 cameras?
It would make a lot of sense. Using the HDR function or high res shot will also reduce some noise.
Another good one Peter. Do you find there is much difference in quality between 16 and 20 mp
Hi, I think it is not about difference in megapixels. It is about difference in sensors. These 20mpx sensors are step above of old 16mpx. When few years ago I were looking on m43 systems and it had 16mpx sensors as top of the line, I could not see my self switching, it was debatable. After I evaluated images from 20mpx m43 cameras, personally I could not longer justify for myself using FF (at least in my photography style). It has nothing to do with pixel density it is more my personal perception of images.
Mike Freider I have the 16 mp em1 and 5 Mark ii. I am thinking of upgrading. The only reason would be for image quality. I am quite satisfied with everything else. So what is your take on image quality?
It is not a big difference because of the increased megapixels. It is a new sensor and it also has a new processor.
Mike Freider Thanks for your input
Warren Fox I don’t have much of experience with old 16mpx m43 sensors just played around and assessment. New bodies EM5mkIII and EM1mkIII it is way more then just new sensors but if we narrow down to pure image quality, I can say - after switching from 36mpx FF - I never looked back.
Cheers for this Peter, i've just taken the plunge and moved across from Canon DSLR as i'm not convinced about their mirrorless range and price of the lenses. I've bought this combo and waiting for it to arrive now. i've added a 75-300mm lens and saving up for the 25mm prime.Just wondered about legacy lenses as i've got some nice pentax k and olympus om lenses. Do the micro 4/3 cameras work ok with these via adapters? (i understand about the manual only operations, as i have used them with my Canon dslr in the past)
Yes, m4/3 is a good system for vintage lenses. Almost any lens goes. I have a few videos about that: ruclips.net/p/PLDi4hF9-cy6jAaC69hi1YAFv5UOugDKI1
Also slightly offtopic... Hi-Res mode on M5 Mk III can do up to 80Mpix RAW files, but i really dont understand why its everywhere advertised as 50Mpix :D
I know it is odd. 80mpix with raw and 50mpix with jpg.
Great video Peter and I am warming to the plastic MIII concept so if I can afford one at some point I may well do so for the focusiing technology. - One question is when cash is flowing again and you have returned this combo to Olympus, would you then spend your own hard earned money on it, or would you use your existing gear as the liesure camera? Thanks again. Pete
I would.
Thinking I might get the em5 mkii with the 12-45, but the kit 14-150 seems like it might be better.
The lens choice depends on what you need. If you need more wide angle and reach the 14-150mm is better. I personally prefer the compact size of 12-45mm f4.
I'm using the 14-150mm f / 4-5.6. Do you think there is a better reason to buy me the 12- 45mm f / 4?
That is a hard one, not necessarily of you are happy with the 14-150mm lens that you havce.
Thank you for this video Peter . I have a question for you - on a scale of 1 - don't touch it to 100 wonderful ! how would you rate this combinatioin compared to an M5 MARKII and 14-42mm f 3.5 to f5.6 EZ lens ??
it is hard to say for others. The E-m5 MKII and the kit lens is a good combo too. I personally do not like the electronic zoom, but it can be handy when used to it. The E-M5 MKIII and the 12-45mm f4 is better. The camera is better and the lens. But to be honest in everyday shooting most do not see a huge difference. Also the E-M5 MKIII and 12-45mm f4 Pro is totally weather sealed combo.
I used my em1 III for two month and more but when used my em5 III again I was very happy with the handeming even em1 III has a great grip... but .... the easiest to use is the em1 III
em5 III easiest than em5 II and this is easiest than I. Every generation is easy. Still have them all
As an Olympus ambassador, please ask the company about the multiple cases reported on DPReview that show that the tripod mount can literally rip out of the plastic base plate. There are 5 documented cases so far. I don't think anyone can be convinced of the ruggedness and reliability of this plastic body unless that is addressed.
Yes, I will look into that.
I have the EM5 ii (which I love !) plus 14-150mm lens combo for travel plus a 17mm f1.8 (for inside shots mostly) and the pancake kit lens (for when when convenience is king) . The weight of the 12-45mm f4 pro seems not that different from the 14-150mm and they are both weather sealed. . Are there any advantages to the 12-45mm over the 14-150mm aside from the constant aperture and a little extra on the wide end (12mm vs 14mm) ? Is the image quality significantly better/sharper ?
@gabithemagyar: The 12-45 is significantly sharper, but when you need a lot more reach the 14-150 is a better option.
@@tizio54 thanks ! I am considering it as a walk around lens where a mid zoom is adequate. For European travel, I do like the reach of the 14-150mm. For travel in north america the 12-45 would be fine.
Bit like Tizio said. I've had the 12-45 for a couple of weeks now and it is certainly sharper in that range. There were a couple of times when I shot something a bit further away and had to crop in later, and then the 14-150 (my go-to travel lens for the last few years) would simply have been better as I could have filled more of the frame with what I was shooting and ended up with a crisper shot.
@@angusgregson9385 I have a similar experience with my Apsc cameras. My 16-70 f4 is sharper but for European travel my go to is my 18-200mm. I say europe because there are many times where there are interesting architectural details high up on churches and palaces and lots of things to zoom in on when up on towers and battlements. Not so much in north america where most of the architecture is modern in cities and the historic architecture is generally low rise so a mid range zoom is fine for 90 percent or more of the time. Picking the most suitable lens for the occasion is what I try to do (within my budget of course).
14-150mm lens has it advances. It is a bit more versatile. I have tested them both. I prefer the 12-45mm f4. It is more compact and the zoom range is just perfect for me. The image quality of 12-45mm f4 is better than 14--150mm has, but in most cases the difference is not that meaningful. That is not a thing that I would worry about.
This lens is made for the em5 mark III, like the 12-40 for the em1 mark II (or III), but the absence of focusing distance indications is a real shame ...
You like the size and then tell us about the grip you added and why...
As I said in the video the grip is a bit too small. Otherwise the camera is perfect size.
Do you put any grip attachments on your e-m10?
There is the ECG-1, but not sure if it is still available. You check your local Olympus webstore.
Hey guys, currently running a Panasonic G80 was wondering if there were any video shooters here, what would be the best camera em1mk2 or em5mk3? Thank you
Hello Miles,
Both cameras are great for video but the EM1 Mk2 has the edge because it has a headphone jack.
The stabilisation in both models is astounding.
It all depends on what and how you are shooting video. E-M5 MKIII is great for vlogging. Very light and easy to use as a vlogging cam. If you are shooting interviews and similar type of content I would go with the E-M1 MKII or MKIII. Both of these cameras have OM-Log400 and headphone jack. Other than that the differences are minimal.
@@ForsgardPeter cheers, helpful advice!!
I understand #6. I too have a high-end camera that I use for "precision work" and a mid-range model with a standard zoom for a relaxed walk in the forest.
You just like it better, because it's a new camera!!
Could be so.
12-45mm f4 may complete my kit for EM5iii...its very tempting, but even my 12-200mm that I'm considering trading is faster at 12mm.
The 12-200mm is a good lens. It is more versatile, but it is also bigger.
Nice video. I think your point that this is sort of your "leisure camera" makes totally sense. For me, the em-5 is maybe the best looking camera on the market. I love the vintage look of it. (PEN-F and Fujis are close though)
I agree - I love the look of the EM5. Makes you want to pick it up and go shoot pictures :-) I am a little miffed at Olympus about the PEN-F. I had been saving up to get the silver version and just when I was getting close to biting the bullet, they discontinued it !!! I was hoping for a weather sealed version of the PEN F to come out ...
They are also still available in many stores in Germany, but maybe the rumours are true and it is wise to wait for a mark2 version? 🤔
Officially it is not continued and there is a door open for MKII version of Pen-F. I surely hope Olympus makes it.
@@des4719 In Canada the Olympus web site only has the black version for sale which is likely old stock. All the camera stores list the silver version as out of stock and discontinued.
Well made = Build like a tank =]
I'm sure it's a great camera photo wise, Olympus features have been admirable for a long time and pro lenses are always top notch, but I cannot get away from the plastic feel of it, within about a month of having one Rob Trek had knocked a button off, and just from handling the thing the switches feel plasticky, it just FEELS fragile, which is a total shame because I want to like it, and as I said im sure it's a great camera but I just wouldn't have the confidence taking it out and about, also as here in the UK the price isnt far off an EM1.ii it's really hard to find a reason to choose the 5.iii over the 1.ii 😔
If the price is not much different from the E-M1 MKII i would get the E-M1 MKII.
I thought the Mkll was just as weather sealed as the new Mklll
It is.
wish it had an AF joystick, cant cope without one so E-M1 iii or nothing...
I know the joystick is great.

:
(this week)
OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5 Mark III + 12-45mm F4 PRO + extra batt = € 1,450
(last week)
OLYMPUS OM-D E-M1 Mark II + 12-45mm F4 PRO = € 1,380
The best choice was obvious.
Alberto Cugat I’ve been looking for a kit like that here in Sweden but they try to sell the 5 mk lll with the 12-40 2.8
I just found out I was wrong. There are kits with the 12-45mm in Sweden.
Strange pricing. There has been a few other cases like that also. Of course if you can get the E-M1 MKII cheaper than the new E-M5 MKIII go for it.
@@ForsgardPeter
I already did it, I got the 12-45 PRO combo with E-M1 II.
The funny thing is that in the deals that last a week, this combo (official distributor Olympus Spain) was cheaper than the body of the camera alone! Crazy!
F4 is a no go for me. I dont buy zooms higher than 2.8.
Thanks Peter, fine review on the gear -- the lens looks like pretty good, but would wait for a couple hundred off on that price, or more. The camera is fine, but I wish they had stayed with the more premium all metal build. Alas, overall it wins as a much improved design and performance over the previous model, so that is important.
On another note, I found another camera discussion RUclips site which is good for general photographic talk. It is Ramon Trotman Photography site ruclips.net/channel/UCT9XvfjClG9eatnysKei78Qvideos -Loren

Dear Peter
When you show us your beautiful pictures, it would be extremely didactic to add to each of them the following:
ISO, APERTURE, and SHUTTER SPEED. don't you think?
Thanks in advance
I know and I have done it sometimes, but on this one I didi not think it was so important. The exposure values are so different on evert occasion. Maybe Iso could have been something. But you are right it would be better to have them.
I have problem with this camera! The speaker of this cámara es noise! Horrible! I have 25 days wiith this cámera 🤦🏻♂️
The speaker is horrible. It is only for making sure the audio was recorded.
first
When you just talk and show no images, it means nothing.
best watch it again - they are there.
