    WHATS NEXT FOR M43, after Olympus, what future is left?

    This is good news if it is real and not a marketing ploy. Reminds me of iPhone....... always short supply after launch. https://www.43rumors.com/om-japan-announced-that-demand-for-the-om-5ii-has-exceeded-expectations-so-shipments-may-be-delayed/

    WHATS NEXT FOR M43, after Olympus, what future is left?

    I know a lot of ppl find it "obiang" / too loud or oldish but I personally prefer the Golden tone one. No.... I am not going to buy it. Not because it is no good, but because I already have the OM-1 and OM03. Will not have much chance to use the OM-5

    WHATS NEXT FOR M43, after Olympus, what future is left?

    The current camera market is actually quite saturated with high end mirrorless SLRs. The upgrades on the flagship models of the Big 3, Canon, Nikon and Sony seems to be minimal upgrade, sometimes the sensor is not even upgraded, eg. Sony A1ii is still using the A1 Mark 1 sensor. Hence...

    Looks like there is a trend for lower price mirrorless.. OM System trying its luck again with the OM-5 mk2. Not for me though, as I already have the OM-3 as my 2nd back up and "casual" camera. Just hoping it will attract some users for OM-System. Larger user base will encourage manufacturers to...

    Bro, it has no response because after the 100-400mk2 is released, the price drop to $1125 at Amazon.sg I sold mine at $950 :) Yes, buying from Amazon is as good as not having warranty as we need to send to USA or Australia depending on who is the vendor. But anyway, anyone buying used items for...

    Are you serious? What are the items you want to sell? Did you join the OM Group by the local distributor? There is quite a lot of users during the monthly photo walks. I sold my OM-1 mk1 almost immediate after sounding off to one of the guys when I want to upgrade to the mk2. And I sold my...

    BTW, has anyone compared the OM-3 and OM-1ii ? I was on a trip with the OM-3 only to shoot other stuff except Birds. And then I saw a bird in flight, and got curious. Since I have set one of the custom mode for bird in flight, similar settings to my OM-1ii, I noticed the subject ID lock on...

    I think current technology on most SLR only permits 30FPS for 8K video. 8K resolution is 7680 x 43207680 is 33mp. which is decent. However, if you need faster than 30 FPS, you have to drop to 4K (4096 x 2160)4096*2160 which is 8.8mp only. Recording video at the correct shutter speed and...

    I don't always agree to Robin's views, especially those on OM-1 as Robin is not a frequent wildlife photographer, BUT I really like Robin's street photography and this is what Robin say about the OM-3.

    WHATS NEXT FOR M43, after Olympus, what future is left?

    As mentioned in my earlier post, a shop in China with a larger display of Sony and Canon cameras told me the same thing. The OM-3 have been selling very well. There was an OM-3 street photowalk last week and a couple of users took very good photos with the 4 Monochrome modes and some even tried...

    WHATS NEXT FOR M43, after Olympus, what future is left?

    That's for cameras being imported to USA only, not to the rest of the world. I have friends in USA already making plans to buy their camera gears on their next vacation (eg. Hong Kong is a good place to stop over). This is exactly what happened about 25 years ago, where almost every overseas...

    WHATS NEXT FOR M43, after Olympus, what future is left?

    Not surprised that the OM-3 is now a very popular camera. Put aside all the ideals of better dynamic range and resolution of Medium Format and Full Frame, the OM-3 is a now currently the most fun camera to bring around (the fun idea is from Panasonic S9). Main idea is that it is now possible to...

    Audrea Pizzini on the future of OM digital. (video below) OMG..... imagine OM Digital produce a new M43 camera with the Sony 47mp sensor for M43. But I guess what is holding back OM Digital is the decision whether to 1) give up all the computational features and high FPS for a 47mp sensor or...
