      I think it's a well done refinement to the ground breaking OM-1 Mk I. The best products are almost never the ("Mk I") versions, but rather the second or third or fourth, etc. models which are enhanced and tweaked to "perfection". Look at the Fuji X100 - it's taken Fuji SIX iterations to final add IBIS. 🙂

    Thank you for this fair and informative review. It seems the pattern now on RUclips for any new OM System camera to get dumped on by a certain segment of "haters" who dismiss real progress and make criticisms which are both dishonest and unfair. Then, time passes, and reviews come which we should have seen at the product release rationally discussing the true capabilities and features. This happen with the OM-5 which is now being lauded as one of the best travel cameras available (I can concur as I have one), and here you do an excellent job of showing the stunning OM-1 Mk II features.
    Imagine, we live in an age where MFT cameras are as good or better than any other camera for video or wildlife photography. Too bad it's a dead system (joke!). However, the most important thing you said is that OM System is finding "their people" and building class leading cameras for them rather then make more "do anything" (but nothing exceptionally well) cameras in a market with too many of those already. 99% of the "geniuses" bashing OM System on RUclips have no understanding of just how brilliant that is. It is what will ensure that OM System thrives where Olympus was floundering. AND, consider that a camera built for the rugged outdoor life is just going to work brilliantly in the rain shooting street photography, or weddings, or whatever, and last longer. Thanks, again.

      @@djmouglie Possibly, or probably, in some aspects, but I don't know off-hand which ones they are, and all would be some FF system which has no appeal for me due to it's unnecessarily larger system profile, although such a product may be a good fit for some. Having said that, it still remans that the OM-1 Mk II has the best IBIS in the industry and the most advanced and comprehensive suite of computational photography technology of any camera at any price, and the new Graduated ND filter is unique to this camera. In the larger perspective and as a professional technology manager, advanced tech often has no place to go but deep into the area of diminishing returns: providing smaller improvements in niche areas for every smaller populations. Still, there is much to be said - especially from the stand point of brand building - to having the bragging rights to the "best" or "most advanced" tech. For me, as an avid Olympus shooter, I bristle at the haters who have unfairly dumped on OM System and products like the OM-1 Mk II. I have a couple of OM -1 Mk I's which do more than I need, so I'm waiting for the Mk III 🙂 In the meantime it feels good to see such excellent products receive the recognition they deserve.

    This is by far the best review I’ve watched, and I have watched a lot of them. Personally, I decided that instead of upgrading from my OM-1 to the mark II, to downgrade to a E-M1X (not planing to sell my OM-1, just added the E-M1X). Of all cameras I’ve used, the PEN F is still my favorite, and for a long time I’ve been curious about the E-M1X experience to be the most similar in a fast and weather sealed body. By experience I mean how does it feel, and something that I’ve learned over the years, how does it sound matters as well. When got the OM-1 I was super excited about the 50 FPS, but after a while I got tired of ending with so many shots at the end of day (I do birds for the most part). I did set the OM-1 to 25 FPS max, still, shooting mechanical in the E-M1X feels better even at lower rate.
    At the end of the day the OM-1 is like the modern car. Might be faster, have better performance, get the job done with technology, but missing on the driving experience. I am not saying this is a bad thing at all, and I am sure at some point will end upgrading - most likely to a mark III. I am just making the point that technology and performance quite often comes at the expense of user experience that cannot be measured in hit rate or megapixels.

The only improvement I would like for the MK1 apart from 4K 120P is stickier AF in ProCap when birds fly directly at the camera but I'll wait until OM System releases another AF improvement firmware for the MK1 due autumn 2024 before upgrading. Thanks again -very helpful!

    Puffins look like they would benefit from somewhat longer wings. I'm still rocking the original OM-D E-M1. I purchased it new something like eleven years ago and I still pick it up waaaay more often than my Canon EOS R. Getting birds in flight, or even birds on a branch can be a challenge, but that's part of the fun. When I get an awesome shot, it's an accomplishment. That said, I'm getting close to committing to an update. The OM-1 Mk II looks really intriguing. I can't imagine pointing a camera at a bird in flight and nailing focus without performing all manner of physical contortions as part of the process. Very cool!

    • @MicroFourNerds

    • @boggisthecat
      @boggisthecat День назад

      I recently updated from the original OM-D E-M1 to the OM1 mark II. The E-M1 is still a very good camera, but with a lot of quite dated capabilities. The OM1 ‘mark I’ is a lot cheaper, so I did a fair bit of anguishing over spending the extra for what some were asserting was a ‘firmware upgrade’. However there are a few people who did get the mark II to compare, and they all decided the cost of that incremental upgrade was worthwhile.
      I shoot a lot of airsoft, which is people with eye-protection and often full masks. The OM1 mark II tracks them quite well, and AF is much snappier than the E-M1. It’s much easier to use for this type of shooting. (I had moved to using a Lumix ‘superzoom’ instead of the E-M1 as the additional weight and awkwardness wasn’t worthwhile for the technically better shots.)
      It’s not a cheap purchase, and there are now 135 format systems for around the same cost, as well as the GH7 if you are into video. Best to evaluate what you want to do then decide if it’s worthwhile. If you do shoot a lot of birds or other moving subjects, then it’s probably one of if not the best of options right now.

    Thank you for your review. This is perhaps the most helpful I've seen. Most reviewers who are not in the system don't really get it and can't really discuss the new features against the mk 1. For those in the system already, we need practical experienced advice as to the real value of the features and you've delivered that in spades. The burst mode BIF looks amazing in its accuracy, and the reorganised AF menus and functionality make so much more sense. I hope that they bring that reorganisation to the mk 1 even though they said the improved human detection won't be offered.
    Your video and images from the trip look epic, even with (or because of) the conditions. Was that part of an organised tour. If so, what did you think and could you share the details?

I use the 12-100 F4 on the OM-1 most the time, but just got the 7-14 F2.8 for some extra-wide experimentation. I love the handling of the OM-1. The original G9 is still my favorite handling camera. If the G9ii handled like the G9, I would not even have the OM-1 probably.

    Still lots to mull. A question for you if you wouldn't mind, Emily - you've naturally focussed a lot on birds in this video, given your shooting location - would you say that OM's subject detection is much better than Panasonic's (as in G9 II, GH7) when it comes to mammals too?

    • @MicroFourNerds

      For mammals, I think they're very very similar in performance. I took the g9ii and the original om1 to Kenya and honestly, they both did me so proud with the larger animals.
      I think an important difference is the g9ii has "animal" detection (which covers everything including birds) and the om1ii has "bird" and "animal" so they've definitely got some bird-specific tweaks in that camera! For larger animals both will be excellent 👌

    I thought this camera was so ridiculous. Then I start looking at the actual specs and speed and it makes a lot of sense for people that want to do high speed and long reach. Like if you take pictures of racing, planes, some sports where really high fps is preferred and rolling shutter is a problem. It is trying to compete with other stacked sensor cameras, and those are definitely more expensive.

    Jumped the fence and went "full" Olympus last year, eagerly awaiting to see what they drop off with the promised firmware update in regards of AF and such. Being more of an general purpose shooter than a birder, the stacked sensor cleanliness is lovely, I shoot the OM-1 to 25600 ISO without hesitation. What I feel a bit let down on is AF functionality in very low contrast/very dark situations, where I find the EM-5MkIII solidly locking onto subjects where the OM-1 AF is chugging like its 1999, even with Pro lenses... Its a odd one, ISO perfomance one could only dream of a couple of years ago, combined with an AF thats not very keen on locking onto stuff in low light/low contrast scenarios. No body upgrade on the horizon for me, as OMD can bloody well fix the OM-1 and not use their customer base as beta testers... ;-)

The ONLY thing the OM1 still has over its closest competitors in terms of the wildlife niche is the pro-capture in RAW. I still have the E-M1III, I got tons of Zuiko Pro glass, including the excellent 300mm f4, the 2x converter, the 100-400, 12-100, 25, 8 and all of the non-pro primes. And I would probably choose the Z6III over the OM1II at that price point, accepting the hassle of swapping systems.

      The in body stacking is very very hand with high flash sync rates, speed of processing and versatility of settings. You can get shots that become excellent rather than just very good, but it won't be a massive massive jump on existing stacking. This is on my om1 mki experience.
      But the other often ignored element for macro is the hand held hi res mode. If you're happy with your dof then you can get a super clean hi res composite shot that opens up other possibilities.

      For this stuff I've been really quite lazy and not even applied a LUT, I couldn't get it to look nice like you say. I just ramped up saturation and contrast, and played with the tone curves a bit. Looks OK I think!! But I much prefer Lumix V-log for colour grading

    I wish OMDS would have updated the OM5 like this, but sadly they didn’t. I would live to add an oly body to my mainly pany body kit, but as a non-birder/wildlifer the G9ii is a better all all-a-rounder, and the gx8 wont break if I use it with a shoulder clip. I would really like a smedium body from either company. But neither is delivering.

      Yeah, I ended up jumping back into photography with an E-M10ii a couple months ago. It’s a great body to dip my toes in, but I’d love to eventually upgrade to something with a similar form factor. The OM-1 line is too big for my use case, so hopefully a lotta these features (especially the menu!) eventually trickle down to the OM-5 line, or even a potential revamp of my camera as an OM-10.

    Thanks Emily. Just a doubt on this bird-focused marketing OM is doing: what happens when light starts to fall off? Asking as I assume that’s when the sensor hits its (theoretical) limits, and I’m afraid they’re pushing the (half-)wrong niche. This is the perfect camera for reportage, in dynamic and tough environmental situations, where you don’t need to freeze the motion at 1/1000s or so and still get away with it even in very low light. A future smaller sibling will be perfect for travel+street… I understand finding a niche, but focusing ALL the marketing around that is giving the wrong message imho.

    Hi there you did a great job with the review and I think I could easily love that camera. They really have thought a lot about features and it's great the AF is awesome that's my most important top of the list. The 300mm F4 lens would likely be my most expensive lens if I went into this system. There is no way I would pay for the white lens upgrade especially it's only a zoom the best it does is 400mm F4.5. I already have better lenses in Canon and Nikon (I've got both systems). I can imagine most users also would just get the 300mm unless OM subsidised their channel so they get one. Don't get me wrong I thought you did a great job with the video.

    • @mrrobertmr123
      @mrrobertmr123 3 дня назад +2

      Exactly my thoughts the 300mm F4 lens is around £2000 or more UK even that is way off the mark as you saty that zoom lens is just not prime enough for that money you end up paying premium as very few get it.

    Excellent review Emily. I have been a loyal Lumix user for 15+ years, however, for those of us who are primarily landscape, nature, wildlife and macro photographers, IMO the G9ii was a huge let down. Not only was the OG G9 body near perfect, but the mark ii does not seem include the useful computational feature the OM-1 ii has (live composite, GND etc.) nor does it seem to have focus bracketing with flash. Looking forward to your detailed comparison for the G9ii vs the OM1ii. As its stands, if I do upgrade from my OG G9, it will probably be to an OM systems camera.

    • @MicroFourNerds

Possibly quadruple your initial investment with the right gear but it takes 35-50 years....❤😊 Olympus will be highly sawed after cameras in the second half of the 21 century. And my Olympus God told me so, lol. I'm so obsessed with Olympus and with your videos that it's hurts me when hear you talking about Lumix in the Olympus sentence... Lumix is for kids, therefore it's a toy. On the other hand Olympus and O.M. System is for the professionals and lovers!! I hope so far you like my essay just as much as I love your videos!!
