Another brand of M43 camera? This is cool, but a super light simplied M43 camera is not really my cup of tea For US$2000 or less, I am perfectly happy with my OM-3 https://www.43rumors.com/cool-project-esquisse-camera-is-developing-a-new-gm-styled-mft-camera-for-2000/

Ha Ha Be Glad we are in not in USA or Europe but in Singapore. Was at the PSS 75th Anniversary Dinner. One guy was explaining why he is using a $2000 Profoto flash instead of a Godox flash. Another one was using the latest Hasselbrad x2dii camera to shoot model. Went to Google and I think it...

Nice explanation as this part was not covered during my school Physics lessions on lenses LOL. But there are some points to note: 1) Equivalence theory is only a theory. It is true that FF image quality is better than APSC and M43. But in real world applications, it is not true that that...

Of course Law of Physics still apply. APS-C has a crop factor of 1.5. Some Sony, Nikon etc users still use them on their full frame cameras and some even program a custom button to get the 1.5x focal multiplier from their FF lenses, but of course with a slight compromise in quality. M43 push it...

Another amazing lenses from OM Systems. The new-om-50-200-f2.8 lenses is equivalent to Full frame 100-400 F2.8! Currently I don't see even any constant aperture 100-400 zoom lenses for Full frame, even at F4, don't say F2.8 Everything is great about this new lenses from OM Systems. Ideal for...

Back to the topic of M43, it seems that OM System have no more upcoming releases on lenses. Good news is that M43 already has a very comprehensive variety of lenses. Hopefully, it is channeling its resources to develop the much asked for Pen-F and the OM-10 Budget Camera...

Retail sales do not do badly in all counties. China is making it easier for tourist to purchase and claim the GST/VAT. I was in China purchasing my drone and while waiting for the processing, the salesperson chit chat with me and told me his colleague just sold 8 pcs of Mavic 4 Pro to the...

I love everything about the latest OM 50-200 F2.8 lenses ...... except the price. Sigh! Yes, it offers the equivalent of 100-400 F2.8, a unique focal range where I don't see any Full Frame cameras offering. But honestly, 1 F-Stop is not that useful nowadays, as even smaller M43 and APS-C can...

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/

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

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...
