I will go LIVE with amazing Micro Four Thirds RU-vidrs on 12 February 2023, 10PM Malaysian time. LIVE STREAM Link here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nvCXReaIBDg.html

Words cannot express how heart lifting this video is to see a great human being receive such a generous act of kindness from one of his subscribers. Everyone who watches Mr Wongs channel will benefit from this remarkable gesture , god bless you for your generous donation.

Given an OM1. I must confess I have dreamed about being able to do that for you myself because your channel and attitude is so inspirational. I have never heard of this ever happening in any other community. Must be that the 43rds community is unique.

Robin you receiving the OM 1 is so well deserved. That contribution is going to help all of us who watch your videos.

Damn, I got teary eyed at the part about the new camera gift. Well deserved man, you're a gem to the photography community

thanks to the generous donor and thanks to Robin giving his EM-1 Mark III to a friend in return. This is true greatness.

I have to say Robin despite you saying that everyone has reviewed the OM1 to death I would still like to hear one from you. Just the way you put things across and the detail of your explanations would be worth listening to. I got one of these a few months ago after trying lots of other systems and everything just feels right about it. Look forward to your next videos and really happy for you. Although your enthusiasm never waned it is obvious that it has been elevated to another level. All the best.

Hey OM systems, Robin deserves an apology and a huge thank you and yes an ambassadorship for all that he does to inspire so many of us to stay loyal to your brand.

Wow! A big "thank you" to the generous donor of the OM-1. Thank you for your belief in Robin and in his work. And wow, Robin, giving away your precious EM1-3 is a very generous gesture. Your friend is really blessed to have a friend like you. God bless J the OM-1 donor, Robin and his friend :)

I am an old man and quite content with my photography. I watch Robin’s videos mainly because it is heartwarming to see such a likeable and charming person. He genuinely lifts my mood and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a gifted camera. I rather hope he wins the lottery. Best wishes Robin.

Wow, that's a GIFT! It's at a good home that's for sure.

Hey Robin, I am very impressed with you ! and the way you handle things ! The unexpected ups and downs ! Your strong character is evident. As they say, "you must have had a good childhood education" or "you must come from a good family." If everyone paid forward as you have done (and Jay too), how great things would soon be for so many people!

The OM-1 gift is amazing news to hear. If there’s anyone out there deserving of this gesture it’s clearly you. I’m looking forward to seeing your images from this new camera. Congratulations!

Robin, your are certainly one of a kind. I love your positivity. Please never change for anyone.

Wow what a gesture Robin very happy for you. That’s the sort of story that creates a good feeling all round 👍🙏🏼

Came here because i watch Casey's Camera Conspiracy... You are one of a kind Robin. Subscribed!

Hi Robin, you make the best Job for Olympus, that i have seen on RU-vid. Fantastic!!! Best Regards from Germany Joerg

Many OM1 users expected for Robin to get this camera and creating content! We also thank you J.

Robbin, congratulations on the 'new' OM-1. I don't have one yet, but it is clearly a stellar camera with amazing features and capabilities. You will certainly continue to produce outstanding results, as you are a very skilled photographer. Often, new gear gives us a much welcomed creative boost, and I pray that this camera does that for you. I appreciate your blessing someone else with your E-M1 Mklll -- the world needs much more of this kind of thoughtfulness. Also, I want to commend you for your decision to accept this gift -- as that was a true blessing to 'J', who appreciates all you have done to help other photographers over the years. I once photographed a wedding where the bride's grandfather was dying of lung cancer -- he was going to escort her down the aisle with his oxygen tank. He knew this would be his last wedding and knew how special it was for his granddaughter. At the wedding rehearsal, which I attended, he pulled me aside and said he wanted to give me his much beloved Canon AT-1 camera and lens. I accepted, and I know that he was very blessed to gift his camera to me for photographing his special time with his granddaughter. That was about 20 years ago, and I still have, and treasure that camera. Like Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give, than to receive."

Quelle gentillesse cet abonné a eu de te faire cadeaux du OM1, il exciste encore des gens merveilleux sur terre!

Great news Robin, You have been such a positive influence on RU-vid and your photography passion is contagious! Congrats on the gift camera!

The gift of an OM-1 from one of your subscribers is very generous. I know you'll make good use of it. The content from you, Rob and Peter (among others) has been very useful to me, especially since I bought an E-M1 Mk II about a year ago. Keep up the good work.

Love you having the OM-1 finally. Looking forward to more great photos from you! Thanks to the donor.

Hi Robin, a video full of emotions, you are a wonderful person, your videos, your posts are always rich in content, well reasoned, full of reflection and also didactic, always well explained, you are a true master in photography, both technically and artistically. To share this wonderful experience, and to share your wealth of knowledge and experience with the whole community, make you Robin, an exceptional person..... Thanks again Robin for the great work you do for all of us, sharing your experience from your great wealth of knowledge. 🎉💯❤🎵🎶🎵 (Translate from Italian to English with Google translate)

Thank you Robin for all you do! You are truly a gift to this community and are so deserving of this generous gift. Thank you to Jay for your generous gift, honoring Robin for all he has done and will do! Looking forward to seeing what’s next!🙏

I am really happy for you, very well deserved! Also kudos to the kind person giving it to you! I am sure we will see some pretty nice pictures from your new cam soon. :)

This was a wonderful episode Robin! Thanks for all that you continue to do.

Hi Robin. Glad that you have the OM-1 in your hand. As far as I know the OM-1 is equipped with stacked sensor and as for today only a few cameras have that feature. After you take enough photo and video, could you please make a video discussing about the benefit of having stacked sensor in real life situation both for photographer and videographer (sharpness, low light performance, etc)? I am curious if the presence of stacked sensor justify the high price tag of this camera (compared to other olympus or any other MFT camera with just normal sensor). Thanks.....

Congratulations Robin🙏😊 your honesty on equipment review and your no nonsense tips and suggestions in every video does have a place in every enthusiast photographer’s heart, it’s credibility. Congratulations to J, you have good eyes in picking the right person 🙏

If someone does deserve this gift it is definitly you Robin. I entered the M43 with the OM-1 as soon as it was released. A couple of days later a thunderstorm came up. A quick search about Live Composite brought me to your channel. I watched your lightning video and BAM, with the first usage of this mode i nailed an image of a lightning striking 3 areas in a town nearby. The photo was published a day later in the local news. Since then ill check your channel every evening. Thank you for doing what you do. Greeting from Austria / EU J great move, your place in heaven shall be reserved!

Congratulations Robin! Thank you “J”! Robins content and RU-vid channel is a great gift to us. Looking forward to all of the renewed and inspired content coming from this gift. It is truly a gift to all of us here on RU-vid.

My congrats, Robin! And my admiration and many thanks to Jay! Have great shoots!

So incredibly happy for you Robin! And you paid it forward, so many kudos for spreading the camera love to your good friend. I'm excited to see how this OM-1 performs. Your street work and shutter therapy goes way beyond what most others do when reviewing cameras. At the core, reviews can be boring, it's the real world use that gives me the best info.

Hi Robin - I wanted to congratulate you for receiving this gift which is a token of how much the community cannot thank you enough for your contribution. I came to photography with a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P93 and then got more serious with a various of Nikon DLSRs. But I lost the taste of taking pictures at some point for various reasons. You are one of the few people that I follow that helped jump back to photography, where I sold all my Nikon gears to switch to Oly m43 system for a few years now. I cannot describe how excited I have been with the system! I always have my camera with me!!! Warmest thanks to you for your work. This mean comment doesn't even deserve any attention. Keep smiling, being positive, we definitely feel through your videos !!!

You are going to love it! And I'm happy you got one now because I know you will find some awesome tips and tricks related to the OM-1. It has been amazing for videos as well. Can't wait to see all the new content!

No one is more deserving to receive a gift like this! You've done so much for the m43 community, and I can't wait to see the content you make with the OM1.

I really enjoyed Shutter therapy. Really love all the bright colours and environmental photos. Inspiring!

I’m subscribing! Great knowledge and your personality is fantastic

Such a cool story and I am happy that you were able to accept this gift from someone. There are still good people in the world and I can't wait to see what you will be doing with your new camera.

This video gives me optimism about the future of humanity. And Robin, we all believe in you! Shout out to the subscriber that gifted you the camera.

you deserve it Robin 👏😍 congrats and Thank you to the person who gave you the camera.

This makes me happy to hear this. Not just because you finally have one, but because there are more people who feel the same as me about what you bring to the m 4/3 world of photography. Since seeing your video about why you are not buying an OM-1. I have hoped for some windfall of money so I could send one to you. As recently as this morning I saw that video link on youtube and thought the same thing. Ironically I go by Jay lmao When you said that name I did a double take to make sure I didn't zone out and send you mine. lol But no it's here on my desk. So thanks to Jay and thank you for all you do Robin. Looking forward to many more videos and what you can do with the OM-1

This is great news, we all love having you in our corner, us Olympus users and I always love watching your stuff, hey can't wait to see a OM1 setup video and all the usual tips and tricks on this great camera, thanks Robin

I am an olympus user.Robin you are a honest wonderful person I love watching your yuotube content.if olympus has not recognized you they are a losing potential ambassador. This is is an eyeopener

What an amazing gesture that could not have happened to someone more deserving. Hope you enjoy the camera Robin and looking forward to all the content you create from it!

"J" where ever you are, thankyou for doing this for Robin, and for all of us who watch & learn from Robin. I live in Melbourne Australia. "J" you are a fair dinkum bonza bloke. Robin shares his knowledge with us, you have given our teacher a truely wonderful gift, Robin will share.....

Congratulations Robin! Seeing this makes me happy for you and happy in general. I look forward to seeing your future videos.

Looking great brother! Stoked for you on this!! You’re the man!! Keep it up!

Hi Robin, today I have looked this video. I like you a lot. Not only of your videos, that give me a lot of inspiration,. That you give your "old" camera to someone who need it, shows that you are a good man. Thanks for all!

Glad your passion is back! Had always enjoyed your sharing on the usage of Olympus products as I felt they are more of a personal experience. Looking forward to your sharing on the OM-1!

So happy for you and for the all of us OM. 1 users. Cant wait to watch you in action with it 🎉

A well deserved very generous gift! Your videos have helped me through the learning curve of my mk3 - thanks!

Robin my heart absolutely burst at the announcement of your gift and you paying it forward. I know you struggled during the pandemic and this is great news. More 'power to your elbow' as we say. Love your videos and long may they continue.

WOW WOW WO THIS COULDNT HAPPEN TO A NICER MORE DESERVING PERSON. Congratulations Robin. And BLESSINGS to the incredible subscriber that contributed to your work.🤗👍🙏

I've neglected to thank you for the many Olympus tips that have helped me get what I need from my camera. So thanks Robin. Your videos have helped me a lot.

Thank you for this awesome video Robin 👍🏻Keep it up the good work 💪🏻

One thing about the digital teleconverter. After turning it OFF, you can do raw data edit in camera on any RAW images and make a jpeg that shows the FULL image field of view. I was going to make a video about it but it's true if people check. I think this is another advantage of shooting in raw plus jpeg mode.

Robin I can't think of a nicer or more deserving guy. I am so pleased for you. I traded in my e-m1 mk2 and a whole heap of random camera gear and received a lightly used OM-1 a few weeks ago. I love your videos and your positive attitude inspires me. Looking forward to many more vids from you :D

I loved the photo book, thanks for showing it. Good luck with the OM1 and thanks to the compassionate generosity of the donor.

Thank you Robin for the content and your positive energy. Congrats for your new camera. I'm very happy for you and it's really good to hear about such positive and generous people. You well deserve it. Happy shooting.

Robin ....I am so happy for you ...although I have lost my EM1 due to a main board failure I still love the M43 and hope to one day get back into the system....your inspiration is infectious ....be well

Your story is inspiring.. Full with empathy! Thank you for sharing! 👏🏻😊

Very very happy to hear this ! But even happier to see how you immediately passed the “good” on in the form of your EM 1 Mk3 to a deserving individual. Blessings to the one who sent you the OM1 and to you and you Chanel for the always frank and great content !

Hi Robin, if one deserve this camera, it's you! I've watched your whole feed after buying my first OM-D EM 5 II used and I think you (and the other guys/gals you're meeting soon) did/do more for the Olympus/OM-Brand than the official channels ;)

What a wonderful gift you have received with the OM-1! And what a wonderful gift you are for all of us who enjoy your videos! Thanks for being here for us!

In essence, J's gift benefits all of us. This is amazing, Robin. And I am so happy to see your review of the OM-1 as I am considering changing from my current model and need the input!

I came for the camera review and stayed for the love.❤Robin is one of the most expressive and genuinely human people on the web. Your help for average folks who would like to make better pictures is much appreciated.

I cannot wait to see your videos on the new camera! I have the OM-1 (after years working with the EM-1 mark i), and I am blown away by it.

You really deserve it Robin wish you the best. You are a great human being and I hope you can continue growing on this channel.

Congratulations Robin. Can't wait to see your future story with your new stuffs.

That is more than generous. Never doubt that what you are doing helps people all around the world. You make a difference.

I don't know how I missed this episode. But I'm so glad that I caught it. I'm very happy for you. Good jobs are rewarded. I look forward to future episodes. You're one of my favorites.

You do reserve the best. You have been a wonderful ambassador for Olympus and MFT.

It's a great feeling giving to another a camera. The look on their faces is awesome and to see the photos they create. Cheers!

Absolutely thrilled and happy for you in receiving the OM one. Many blessings to you Robin!

So glad and amazed about this story and your wonderful reaction ! Go ahead with introducing the human factor into your so good videos.

Hi Robin, you talk about your chum still using his 10yr old camera. I'm still using my OM4ti which i've had and used for more than 40yrs, as i still find it easier to use than my OM-d-EM5-1. Still works fine, but film is a bit of a bugger to get hold of. Cheers!

Congratulations 🎊 Robin. Well deserved. Look forward to your future content.

Thank you for coming back! 😊

Love this! Thank you Robin! And thank you "Jay!"

Wish you all the best Robin. My gut feeling is you will soon be an OM ambassador !

Wow! That is an awesome story. Congrats on your new camera. Very well deserved. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

Very well deserved and thanks to the person who gave the OM-1 to you!

Congratulations on the new gear Robin! Looking forward to the live stream with the heart of the M43 crew! Also, your photo book is wonderful! You mentioned it in another video some time ago and this is exactly what I am working on right now. Photos shouldn't just live in a digital space. I have so many photos from over the years that I simply forgot about. I'll be dividing them by year/years and this way we have something physical to look and share. Thank you for mentioning this and sharing your beautiful art!

Can't wait to get your impressions of the OM-1! Especially your impressions about the low-light performance would be interesting (even though you don't have the E-M1III anymore - but you have lots of older material to compare to). Kudos to the sponsor of this camera!

That is a beautiful story and well done for your infectious spirit also. I know it will continue.

Congratulations Robin you totally deserve this gift from a fan of your youtube channel, so glad to hear you are inspired to carry on your very inspirational vlogs keep up the great work. Gerry 👍

Well deserved Robin! 😁 👍 And kudos for "J" !👏 👏👏

I'm glad to hear you got an OM-1 and I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the camera and pictures after you've had a chance to use it for a few weeks.

You're the tops, Robin. Great content as always. Great photobook too.

Gracias por tu contenido Robin. Disfruta mucho de tu nueva cámara. ¡¡Te lo mereces!!

Robin, I too felt emotional when I heard your email. That vote of confidence isn't just for you, but it's also paying off for all of us who can't get you the OM1. While I don't have the new camera, I really appreciate your viewer who gave it to you, as you can create a whole series of videos with tips for that camera! When the OM1 comes down in price on the used market, I will be ready.

Great true honest story and someone with a great heart to give away this camera!

You deserve this! So Happy for you!!! Go Robin Go!

Hi Robin, I’ve been following you for more than a year and I am pleased to say that I really like how honest you are in your opinion. My OM 1 has arrived yesterday and I’m really exited to use it. My last camera is Sony Alfa 200 bought in 2011 and due my private life, I put photography a bit away from my the last few years. But I’m back and looking forward to join you in the OM1 discovery. I have so much to learn with your videos 😊!!! Thank you for making them 😊

Very well deserved Robin, you made me rediscover my old E-PM1 and showed me how M43 has evolved since then.

Fantastic news ! You deserve it! Thank you to your generous friend who allows us to follow the most enthusiastic youtuber!

Good on you , Robin! Keep moving forward.

Robin, you deserve to have the best photographic tool for work and also for your tutorials 😅not only does that give viewers more insight into the OM-1 and it brings your content more relevant to what a lot of people are using. Keep it up 👍

you deserve it robin , keep the videos coming great stuff .
