Have OM System Lost Their MINDS?!

- I'm speechless. No I'm not :) OM System OM1 II adds a bit of ram and no specs increased. Been waiting 3 years for them to show Olympus did not go out of business. Very minor update. The 150-600mm f5-6.3 is a head scratcher. It's an old DSLR full frame Sigma design, only they somehow made it even heavier than the original, and cost 3 times as much. In fact, if you bought that setup for wildlife, it would be more expensive and heavier than a Canon full frame setup, Nikon, Sony, Fuji and Panasonic. All have cheaper lighter and more capable wildlife photography cameras and lenses. And the 9-18mm f4-5.6 II is just a slight body colour change with no actual upgrades.
If you buy today's gear through my affiliate links, you will have a system that costs and weighs as much as my Sony A7S III with 200-600mm. The micro four thirds advantage.

IT is twice the reach of the sigma.....1200mm . With the Sigma you only get 600mm for the same weight.
@brounremi7577 jep but he forgot about that...
2x teleconverter, or cheaper aps-c body gives you way more reach than you'd ever need. I'm very happy with the 1.4x tele on my 200-600mm gives me 920mm in 4k 120p. @@brounremi7577
If I could get enough money out of all of my Olympus gear, I would do exactly that, switch... but no one is paying for Olympus gear anymore.
@@2ShoesPhotodepends…what do you have to sell? Let’s talk about it….
"We have seven employees, six are working on IBIS" 😂
The one guy, can't even see out of his left eye.
As an MFT user, I laughed way harder than I should have.
I'm still laughing. Laughing so hard, I'm crying. Or, am I crying so hard, I'm laughing.
I got shadow banned on the OM Systems YT channel for asking if 4K 120FPS is coming in a firmware update. I guess I found the 7th employee. True story.
our OM-1 money is perfectly invested
lmao 🤣
It's really too bad, because M.Zuiko glass was so amazing. Loved it.
I used that tiny 9-18mm for years, a delightful lens for a M43 smaller bodies, you can buy it second hand for around US300. M43 should focus on small, light gear + innovative software
You should give that memo to the higher ups. It seems they lost that insight long time ago. G9ii, om1ii, I think it's been quite a while since they release a small body, probably the last is e-p7
Exactly, why buy M43 is it's the same size and cost of FF? It makes no sense, most of M43 lenses and bodies released recently are heavy and expensive @@trym2121
If full frame can keep making lenses and bodies smaller - imagine if MFT could do the same. What would be dope is a foveon sensor on a MFT camera giving it something between apsc and FF resolution in a fraction of the size
I mean, the Nikkor Z DX 12-28 can be had *new* for $360 (frequently on sale for less) and is a lot more versatile with better optics than the 9-18.
@ryankwan1934 you are right, and I would switch to a z30 if it had a viewfinder and ibis
The acting in this skit was top-notch!
While traveling for a month with my A7riv and multiple lenses I got to borrow an e-m1x and the 300mm f4 for 2 days. A bizarrely disproportionate number of my favorite shots are from those 2 days. Joke all you want. I sure did, before I tried it for myself.
There is a whole gang of devote followers of the M1X. I guess they're people with large hands...
@@Emerald_City_ No it's people who appreciate quality in both their gear and the images it produces.
@@Emerald_City_you're too kind 😂
@@Emerald_City_ I have medium size hands, but love the grip on the EM1X.
Oh man, I was waiting for a sushi joke during that meeting! LOL! I live in the Lehigh Valley, PA area where Olympus has its USA headquarters. They are in the medical equipment business heavily. Their camera technology is now focused on endoscopes for colonoscopies, etc. Thanks for the morning laughs. It was good to see another meeting. Have a great week.
Olympus medical devices are the only surviving part of the original Olympus company. Even microscopes have spun off from the original Olympus which made for some interesting paperwork (I administer lab microscopes). OM System cameras have just like the microscopy company spun off from the original Olympus and are basically their own thing.
Colonoscopies. Interesting. Wonder why kassey hasn't told us about that yet? Since he's an expert on colonoscopies.
This has all the signs of a company that acquired a bunch of assets from what they bought and are now trying to squeeze blood from a stone while they plan to eventually end the company. Either that or a desperate attempt to restructure/save a failing company. These are refreshes and half assed additions. Olympus users have been wanting (for example) small weatherproof updates to the 1.8 primes for years, and not even a hint of that or another Pen. I think they're simply not making anything new and the good stuff OM has released is mostly just the work of Olympus prior to the acquisition.
Seriously though this was so funny and cathartic.
yes it looks really bad. making as much profit bevor ending it all. probably have to switch systems soon
Olympus had a great 17mm f/2.8 for E-P1 release as it's kit lens.
It is slow to focus and noisy (not MSC), but tiny.
IMHO Olympus should have made f/2.8 primes their cheap 200-250€ each price range.
8mm
12mm
17mm
25mm
50mm
And that's it. A great set of primes. Design like 40-150 R.
And then make the premium line as 17mm f/1.8 with metal shell and not plastic like 45 mm f/1.8.
And those to be priced to 550-650 range if possible.
And finally, Pro line as f1.2 as was...
But Olympus forgot again 4/3 fault, too large bodies... Too large lenses...
All OM-D should have been like E-M10II. The E-M1 was largest it should ever have become by any means, and Mk 2 went way past the respectful size and weight.
40-150 mm PRO is great lens, amazing really.
But let's face it, people want TINY packages... Not large... Crap all those who want big and "ergonomical" as they don't know jack about ergonomics or handling or anything like that.
SECOND mistake Olympus did, was abandon the software updates they did with E-M1... Never was any camera updated as heavily as that one...
And after that Mk2 got like one feature after release...
Seriously, cameras needs to be updated with new features for 6-8 years... Yes... You heard it.
It is low hanging fruit to keep customers loyal to you. They will eventually buy new bodies, but add as much software as you can...
@@Superbus753 They won't be making a profit on the 150-600 if nobody buys it.
I suspect they'll go the Pentax route. Outsource lenses to Sigma and/or Tamron, let the few engineers remaining work on marginal software updates and keep milking their base until they all leave or die.
@@ryankwan1934 Very possible. We don't even know how much of Olympus IBIS patents were licensed to others... Or some other technologies from Olympus patent portfolio.
The OM System can't be considered a serious camera business anymore.
And what is such? It would be a company that could start a any time a completely new format, system and build all the lenses and bodies to it for next 10 years.
Can someone say OM System would be capable for such a feat? No...
Said it back when the sale happened. The company that bought them is known for milking whatever they can out of their acquisitions without any new products. No surprise here, move along.
The idea that OM are milking it is rather dragging on a bit. Originally they were going to sell it straight away according to the doom and gloom pundits but they are carrying on producing kit which is good for the hobbyist still photographer. The fact they cannot keep up with the youtuber reviewers who have an insatiable appetite for video frame rates, codecs and resolution with the prime aim of using the kit to review the kit's suitability for reviewing the kit is neither here nor there for most people.
@@michaeld5888 😆
OM are not innovating and are therefore gradually loosing their USPs (eg Ibis and small form factor and weight). They will gradually fade into obscurity as other manufacturers surpass any previous advantages of the OM (former Olympus) system. Shame.
@@dougmckillop9352 - hmmm. The OM-1.2 has 8.5 stops of stabilization, better than the 1.1 and still class leading. The OM1.2 has 128 Live ND in-camera and 5 stops of GRADUATED ND. Name one other camera that does that. Name one camera that predated the OMS acquisition that does that. OMS completely rebuilt that AF using machine learning tech. They absolutely are still innovating.
Yo Panasonic, will you adopt Olympus? They're currently living in an unsafe household.
Panasonic are merrily discontinuing m43 lenses...
I think there was a meeting....
You're right. If OM would charge 1500€ to 1600€ for the lens it would be fine, but 2699€ is just inacceptable
Yeah this makes no sense 😂 This is the first time I have felt the system is dying.
yep up to now i was taking it with its pros and cons. but now i think the system is dying.
It's almost like OM systems is telling people not to purchase our products and to move on to something else.
This is it.
It's been nice knowing you OM.
hey that Deer worked really hard for Employee of the month!
That role playing early on in the video, I'm thinking Golden Globe, Academy Award in the making, well done.
Yeah ! The first second only tells you everything. 🤣 Excellent role play !
Comedy gold today, Johnson! Free sushi for everyone
Kasey, that first part (with Johnson and the boss) was hilarious! You are getting better and better! If 'the boss' had been wearing a tie, it would have been perfect! Great combination of technical information and superb comedy!
The "How to show everyone we are riding a dead horse while ripping of the customers most" award goes to OM-Sushi ....
The Panasonic Pony got its eyes and ran wild over that OM Sis factory! Holy cow, $2,400 and people complain about the g9ii price??
Om-1 II is a significantly better still camera than the g9 ii. G9 II is a significantly better video camera than the OM-1.
Olympus did this before with E-M1 MK III which had the same hardware as E-M1 MKII, just software improvments.
There is a version of Sigma 150-600mm SPORT which weights 2.1 Kg and costs 1500$. Probably this is the design which was used by OM. So the weight actually decreased with 40 grams. :) And Olympus/OMS has more lenses designed by Sigma.
Your video is cool, fun ! I liked it. :)
Yes, sure.
There was a high-water mark, and it was the EM-1 Mark ii.
I still have it and I take it more often with me than my heavy Z7...
I guess I will stick with it...
EM1.2 way better than the OM-1 and OM-1 and 1/2.
3:50 Deer going to eat all our sushi... Comedy timing genius 😂
New 9-18 msrp is $799, old OLY can't get $250 on the used market now (it's actually not a bad lens for what it is). new should be half of what they are pricing at.
@_cameraconspiracies sure, best way?
Any chance of OM Systems selling this camera just went out the window!
I think OM Systems broke Kasey! I could see the anger and the pain! As a Pentaxian, I feel better about our lowly estate! At least we have some respectable cameras! I feel bad about OM... I thought they might have done a NIkon turn around, but now 😭
My thoughts are, "If i have nothing nice to say I won't say anything at all."
(Which is why im so glad you have 😂)
Then again Thomas Eisl is very enthousiastic about the subtle but significant improvements to the Mark ii, based on months of actual use and testing. Watch his 1+ hour video. Still I would like to see compact MFT cameras again from both OM and Panasonic, maybe even a tiny fixed lens camera to compete with the Fujifilm X100V and the Ricoh GRiii.
@@tizio54 me too on both counts. I think the smaller, more photo-centric cameras are what make the system shine!
@@tizio54 it really is a weird review (that of Thomas Eisl). It's an odd mixture of an overinflated advertisement balloon, marching on to Lili Marlene song, and a semi-scientific enthusiast pile driver working on a low octane gasoline. Reminds me on that Monty Python's sketch in which Michael Palin impersonates the guy from Ulm... -But Eisl is worth having a look! The alleged AF improvements, high-res modes... improved noise performance etc
To my mind, the OM1 is an interesting case. I don't agree there's nothing nice to say. The OM1 is a great camera. What made it unappealing to me was the complicated autofocus system with notable weaknesses when it comes to people. This seems to have been adressed. The other improvements are small, but still interesting. The only area where I see meaningful potential for improvements is video, but I personally don't care about that so because of the faster sensor, slightly better lowlight performance, the form factor and the better ovf right now, I'd choose the OM1 ii over the G9 ii.
What leaves a bad taste is that the autofocus improvements had been promised to come as a firmware update to the original OM1 which never came so this looks a bit like a rip off, especially since it coincides with the release of two overpriced (not really) new lenses.
It's really a shame. A wasted opportunity.
@Garrus4Spectre this is my issue too, a lot of it should have been a firmware update. It doesn't even seem to be enough of a bump to be classed as an "om1s" (like a halfway update like the GH5s was before the GH6 arrived), let alone an entire update. I love the OM1, it is excellent, but I'm not buying an entirely new camera (£500 more than the G9ii, which in my opinion - especially for my needs - is a much better camera) for something I believe we all should have got via a firmware update for free.
And yes, the lenses! I've just bought my second copy of the 9-18, such a great lens. I paid around £260 used both times used. I was sad I had bought it again before the new version was announced. But no real improvements and £700?! I am no longer sad 😂
I would go for the G9ii in your list. But I still do CZcams with a GH5 and I love it!
You are right about one thing only - It is a redesigned Sigma lens but it is the SPORTS version NOT the CONTEMPORARY so the weight is IDENTICAL @ 2.1kg. But yes it is a heavy lens.
and not just that but it is a copy of the DN SportsE-mount version not a dslr copy.
OM1 Mark 1 and G9II here, combined with the 40-150 F2.8 Pro, the 300 F4 Pro and the 12-40 F2.8 Pro and both TC... (I came from 30 years of NIKON, lastly the Z7II) I am very disappointed. Their website says we work every single day on getting your already bought camera better via firmware. The last update was from summer 2023, now we know why we did not and will not get any update. They 'found' some extra buffer RAM (which should have been already in that camera) and for the rest got the firmware update of the Mark 1 and planted in the the Mark 2 (the AF in the Mark 1 desperately needs that update). It makes me furious to see how they think they can deceive us with a Sigma lens. All those ambassadors seem to like it. I am not gonna exchange my 300 F4 Pro for that piece of sh.... Again you hit the nail, spot on with this video... and I think you even stayed to kind for them.
OMG! I really wait each day to watch your videos and have a good laugh. love the the corporate meetings
Absolutely brilliant. This is how I see it. Not really an update to the OM1. So many of the fan boys and girls are saying this is brilliant and amazing (the emperor’s new clothes).
Very disappointed the OM1 mkii and the new 150-600mm lens pander to a small number of Pro Wildlife photographers. The combination at over £4700 takes it out of range of most potential upgrade candidates. Maybe time to look at other systems!!
I'm bailing on m43. OMD has been a disappointment.
Of all the lenses they could adapt, they picked a Sigma lens. Sigma, known for heavy lenses. I think they're trolling us.
all companies are at this point. Nikon made zf without a grip, superb video specs (for a nikon), flip screen and photo dials on top!
The Sigma 150-600mm lens for Canon was the reason I switched to M4/3. You've got to laugh.
I love my OM System camera. Its just a joy to use. Use whatever brings you joy!
A repackaged Sigma 150-600 for close to double the price. What a deal. OM Systems must be a government front as they understand how to inflate prices for budgeting purposes ($600 hammers, $1,000 toilet seats, etc).
Umm - it's more than just a "rebadged Sigma." The OMS lens has 6 stops of in-lens stabilization and 7 with Sync-IS, the Sigma glass only 4. The OMS has 4 lenses with ED coating, the Sigma makes no mention of this optical upgrade. You don't like the price, don't buy the lens.
Wow...your reply is awesome dude. "You don't like the comment, don't hit reply." @@EdwardBartel
No improvement to the sensor. No switch to the appropriate CFexpress card. No GPS. OM, your parking brake is stuck on.
I still love my EM1 MkIIs. They focus well and the images look terrific. Even 4K video looks great. That said, I'd love to have better video formats beyond the Cinema 4K30 (like 4k60, FHD 120 and 240) , but for the amount of video I do at the moment, it's not really worth the cost to upgrade. It's interesting (not to mention disappointing) that OM Systems seems to be sort of pissing away the reputation that took Olympus years to build.
I was on the edge the whole video,but the deer killed me...😂
Johnson only makes $15 an hour. That explains everything.
You always make me laugh! Great show.
Good to see these comparisons that might otherwise not be mentioned. Careful Casey - they'll come for you! ;)
I really like my E-m1 iii but this new launch is really disappointing. Ill probably jump to a g9 ii after a price reduction...
Best digital cameras Olympus ever released were the EM 1 Mark I, II & III closely followed by the EM 5 Mark I, II & III.
I would say mark 2. But 3 is sweet.
E-410 . It was a pocketable DSLR with a 25mm f/2.8 pancake [50mm equiv] I still sell stock photos taken with it. Absolutely brilliant.
@@tdunster2011 Yes, the earlier Olympus E models were awesome, especially the ones with the Kodak CCD sensor.
Yes, I have moved away from M43 except for an EM-1 MkII + Oly 60mm for macro shooting. Honestly a fantastically capable macro rig for not much $$$.
If only people were this honest in meetings!
Actually, the whole thing is no laughing matter for me as an OM-1 customer, but you managed to put a grin on my face
Let’s relax. I knew they were doomed after the acquisition, but I still got many of the MZ PRO lenses in the recent years as the system is really great for my purposes. There is still some hope left that they will be able to produce the OM-1 & OM-5 (or however they call them) for about a decade, but I feel this would already be the best outcome.
(I also use most of the Canon EF-M lenses & M6 II, a completely dead system, but it is compact, works, has good IQ for photography with the right lenses, so who really cares that it’s dead if it works for you?)
Same, and I JUST bought into the system over Christmas. But you know what I have a hell of a lens collection for WAY less than FF would have cost and it's ALL I NEED!
Love tthe opening sequence! You deserve an Academy Award for that.
Maybe this isn't a parody 😂 2:00. OM system is going the Pentax route lol.
I wouldn't mind the 150-600 rebadge if they didnt more than double the price. It also...doesn't look very sharp on m43. I looked at the product page on OM's site, and the bird samples just dont look great. Feathers are fairly blurred together, and I'm very tolerant of lens flaws but it reminds me of the sort of quality i would get from my old Nikon 55-300, a notoriously soft lens.
What would you use it for ? I photograph birds with the 300mm F4 and rarely even need the MC-14 TC to get even small wrens to cover the frame without any cropping. [Something that's very difficult to achieve with a FF camera due to longer minimum focus distances and depth of field].
"The first lens to overheat" hahahahahahaha Gold
The best and most honest review of the totally BS "new" rebadged camera. LOOOOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤❤
They could have integrated some nice speedbooster in that large FF 150-600, then it will be brutal lens.
I wonder why OM didn't think to instal speedbooster there to win 1 stop of light. This would somehow justify the price
sigma 150-600 EF + VILTROX EF-M2 0.71x (f4-5.6 213-852 FF equivalent)
That’s your best angle yet brotha. Maybe just move that top shelf item to left a foot. Looks great
I don’t think the IBIS improvement is due to software - the smaller sensor just allows for more extreme displacements of the moveable element than if the same lens has to project onto FF. What would result in vignetting on a FF sensor still covers the full M43 sensor.
Can't see Olympus sending you any equipment to test or review. LOL
What makes me spit out my cornflakes is the dribble coming out of the mouths of the Olympus fanboy youtubers. Someone needs to give them a reality check for the crap and insanity they are peddling.
Yes, almost total nonsense. There have always been 3 to 4 guys doing Olympus/OM System regular rounds on CZcams and maybe 2 or 3 extras who may have been given the products to plug this latest launch to complete the theme of photographic hyperbole for all this new stuff. Perhaps with the only exception of DPReview nobody has shown anything that is worth looking at.
I died inside watching the first 150-600 videos praising it as some sort of pinnacle
@@panmaew you mean 4 to 3 guys...
I would get a OM 1 MKI for 800 Dollars used once prices are down.
I love the lenses (35/50 1.2 Pro and the 75-300) and if I ever need sth. I buy it used anyway.
Even if Olympus dies, my gear will stil work.
Maybe I should buy a cheap EM1 MKIII as a spare to my EM1 MKII...?
All jokes aside. I’m enjoying the OM-1. Lighter, Faster, and 100% hit rate on focusing. Coming from a 5D.
My em 5 mark 2 with 7-14 pro and 12-40 pro are still going strong 😂
It is said that the new 150-600mm MFT adapted Sigma 150-600mm. It should be heavier than one genuine for MFT.
Thanks for the laugh lad! This was hillarious. I was thinking what you´re saying when i saw the presentation.
I have plenty of deer around my house...I NEED to guard my sushi!!!
The first part of the video is so funny I''m watching it twice.
Thank god I didn't invest too hard in Olympus. I only have OM-1, EM1 Mark II, 12-40 F2.8 Pro, 40-150 F2.8 Pro, 300mm F4 Pro, 1,4xTC, 15mm PanaLaica ... OMG what have I done ...
The kit you have is all excellent stuff (and you can really enjoy what you have) - it's the future that maybe doesn't look so rosy.....
Dude that kit is great! Despite the vid the Om-1 is a fantastic camera.
A fabulous combination of glass and camera, fit to take absolutely fantastic pictures, if it all works do you really need to upgrade, the i behind the viewfinder is much more important than the ai within.
Really great video with valid points. I am also sadly disappointed. I bought into Olympus for the small body cameras but they seem to only be updating the bigger heavier models. It’s a matter of time before I switch. BTW my EM10 died last week so now I only have the EM1 mkii. Good thing I’m not too heavily invested I only have 2 lenses. Keep up the great work. I look forward to watching more.
I agree, Olympus stuff never made sense to me. It's so ridiculously expensive you can buy two full frame cameras for the price of some of their lenses, and the lenses themselves are heavy as heck. Also, why are micro four thirds lenses so expensive in the first place? There's even less glass than there is in APS-C lenses and those were always cheaper than full frame.
Go to look Northrup's video comparison of a OM-1 and R7 with equal lenses...
You will learn that what you pay for...
The cost of glass is trivial.
I saw an OM ambassador make a video about this lens and said the same thing lol what a joke
I’ve been saying, for years, that OM has no money. If Olympus believed that they, as a $7.5 billion per year company, couldn’t run the camera division any more, as they were losing a lot of money on that division for several years, then how the heck could OM do it? Yes, Olympus gave them $300 million in cash. But that was just enough to run the company for about a year. So what did they do all this time? They released projects that Olympus was working on and mostly finished. And now what? Given how much it costs to develop new lenses and cameras, with their tiny sales, they just aren’t bringing in enough. I’m surprised they’re still in business. But their fans will buy anything, I suppose. Go to those channels and you’ll see how excited they seem to be with everything OM does. It’s ok, it’s all great. No, really, it is! Isn’t it? Um, hello, anyone out there?
I bought all my OLY gear second hand and very cheap...
No problems with the 35 and 50mm 1.2 Pros... I almost get that full frame look.
@@Fuchs85DE it depends on the print size and your acceptability of quality. The format is still in a downward spiral.
M4/3 is a great street photography camera format to use. That's the only real purpose I've found for that format and I love my Panasonic GX9 when out and about because it's stealthy. Making 4/3 a heavy monstrosity is nonsense. Love the videos.
sure@_cameraconspiracies
I looked at OM late last year and found the weight, cost etc was nothing better than APSC or FF. I was out at that point.
Yet their camera bodies are lighter and smaller than the Panasonic's. But more expensive.
The Oly 75-300mm ==> where is the eqivalent in FF?
I think the next OM Systems release will follow Leica and be an OM-1 mark 3 that is only monochrome with a Sigma full frame 85mm lens rebranded to OM. Police stations will buy it for criminal portraits. (BTW: Love your video today.)
Then you'd have a Pentax 2.0
hahaha im dying.. om sushi!! 🤣 thanks god im doing research and found you!
Pentax should give JIP a box of seaweed to take over OM System. Pentax knew miniaturization (Q), and it can then have a real mirrorless system (not the K-01).
This episode is 150xLOL-to-600xLOL! 😂 Hilarious but spot on!😡
Could you share a referral link? After watching your video I am going to proceed to purchase that masterpiece
they don't milk this hard at the local dairy farm.....
ROFL - I knew you were going to do the meeting bit!
I think OM Systems is a Camera Conspiracies fan and loves it when you troll them.
But, I still use their stuff. Not buying into another system now.
It's telling IMO that OM sent the pre-release gear only to stores, OM ambassadors and a few very small creators.
I'd have expected a video from Petapixel at least 🤷♂️
You'd think petapixel would have one with all the podcast sponsorship
Yeah they've been shilling OM for months now and maybe that created a conflict of interest. OM probably doesn't want an unbiased review from them and Petapixel doesn't want to lose a sponsor.
I don't think there will be an OM-1 FW update in the fall.
I think OMD will be shut down by then.
Your om skits are always the best. "More RAM" is pretty accurate
Hey Kasey, i think it's about time you made real in-depth Hands-on review of OM 150-600 / + maybe OM-1ii? (not only superficial ''mass-crowded'' opinion, like most others on YT)....
You do it differently more ''relaxed'' and more true-to-reality-like, and that's the most obvious strength of this channel that differentiates you from other YT masses...
best regards
i preordered 4, I think I may add 2 more. This is what I've been waiting for since I first purchased of Olympus E1, their first Four Third DSLR. Thank you OM for staying true with the Olympus vision. Smaller sensor, bigger body, slower AF. More expensive. I'm waiting for F2 zooms that are twice the weight of F2.8 FF zooms. My SHG lenses have no mFT cousins to play with. They are much too big and heavy to play with the tiny mFT lenses.
FIrst time viewing your channel. Highly entertaining and informative. Subscribed. As an OM-1 user I had the same incredulous WTF/SMH reaction to the Sigma announcement.
IT IS a new Blackberry Story.
@_cameraconspiracies why not. Visit me in Germany.
It reminds me of Nokia back then.. 😂😢 I loved Nokia..
If you already have the OM-1 and need a second body, the logical option is the Lumix G9M2, I suppose that behind the users who did not already have the 0M-1, the one who is most happy with this launch is Panasonic.
I’ve never seen private equity grow anything. That’s not their purpose. Drive price and slash costs. Then sell the business in whole or parts for a decent return. Purpose fulfilled. Any products they offer in the meantime are a ruse to attract potential buyers. Sad, but true.
I imagine Olympus knew it was game over for the system when they sold this part of the business.
I don't know why full frame companies don't release nice 600mm F8-f12.4 Lenses, Light weight and smaller. It would drastically decrease the point of m43. Same with a few primes. people love m43 small f1.4-f1.8 primes, but it would be the same as full frame f2.8-3.6, which would also be tiny and light. Fit that to some of those smaller lighter full frames cameras...
That's pretty much what Canon have been doing with their f11 primes, the 200-800, the 100-500, even their 100-400 fits into that new gen lightweight slow zoom category
They are also a big reason why MFT is getting more and more irrelevant if you ask me... Pair the R8 with any of those, and I see very little appeal for MFT.
I gotta say I like the center composition
I love in the board room you were dying to laugh
You have said what all the other so-called ambassadors don't say.
Micro four thirds lost the plot when they started making bigger "pro" cameras. The OM1 M2 was actually the start of it. The camera was as big and as expensive as a FF, but fanboys would defend it and say they liked the "handling, grip" etc.
Coming from FF I love it... and with the 75-300 (150-600 FF eq) still better to carry than my Z7 with the Tamron 100-400...
I Actually need a little grip extension even for my Z7 with longer lenses...
I got into MFT recently... So small and fun. About to pick up the Olympus 100-400 lens for a trip out west.
100-400mm doesn't sync stabe. MIght be ok for photos, but not video.
@@cameraconspiracies I don't video
@@musa7606 Then you'll be fine :)
@@cameraconspiracies I am fine! :)
Pretty sure this lens is based on the DG DN version, still, big bump in price
An intro that takes up 1/3 of the video? Is there any way you could stretch that to the entire clip? The cinema could be yours!
Sums up my thoughts pretty well .
I bought my first Oly because it was small/compact/light after a life time of big heavy film and digital full frame stuff . That first Oly was the Em1 ; the best camera I have used (50 years of carrying cameras) . Wish I had that in my wedding photography days! Then I "upgraded" to the Em1 mark 2 :( . Yeah Ok , it's bloody good but the em1 is still the best to used . Only downside is the lack of the swivel screen for my low down camera angles.
The OM-1 did nothing me . Nothing new that I needed or even wanted .
I can only hope I can keep the 2 x Em1 bodies (both need servicing ; if that it is possible) and the 1 x Em1 mk 2 going until I have no use for them as I have no intention of buying a more modern Olympus camera . I just don't need any more bells , whistles in a bigger package . Strange how my first "pro" camera bought back the 1980s is still doing what it has also done and no battery required . That was a fully manual Nikon Fm2 .
Photography has not really changed ; it's still using light and shadows to record a subject with the right compensation , and no new camera can actually improve those skills
Love it, brilliant exactly what I’ve been saying on the OM CZcams channels and the OM die hards keep jumping on my comments essentially telling me I don’t know what I’m talking about… I’ve recently moved to M4/3 from SONY FF (fool I know) to try and benefit from reduced size and weight… anticipating a nice new hand hold able 150-600 and what do they put out a lens that almost same weight as my old Sony 200-600 I just sold… what are these OM SYSTEMS people in positions of power smoking??? 🤷♂️🤦♂️
They ain't smoking anything... Olympus already lost it with E-M1 Mk2 in size and weight. Instead Mk2 being exactly as Mk1, they should have cancelled E-M1 line and made E-M5 II as what OM-1 is. That was what... 2016...
The 150-400 f/4.5 came 4-5 years too late. As did premium version too.
And E-PM was cancelled. That should be like GM1... But with modern specs like E-PL10.
@@paristo What is wrong with the E-M1 Mk2? I love it!
Still lighter than my nikon FF with the lenses and I have big hands.
No you're confused. They added sink-stabe, which makes the 8.5 stops sink down to 7. It's a metaphor for how their business is a sinking ship.
