Micro Four Thirds: It Just Keeps Getting Better 

I completely agree Katy, which is why I’m trying to highlight them to people on this channel. Thanks for watching.

I agree. I switched from Fujifilm to Olympus M43 and have no regrets. The image quality was slightly better but in exchange you get SO many cool computational features that other manufacturers don't care about. Plus the lenses are tiny - and cheap when buying used!

You can do this on the Ricoh gr3

Ditched the two major brands, investing in a few OM-1 II's with 12-100 & 150-400 pro lenses. We use photography to promote tourism, so street photography, landscapes, wildlife, some astro, portraits, etc.

I'm with you. I jumped into Fuji with an X-H2 when I finally came back into photography a couple of months back, but now have an OM-1.2 sat alongside it desperately trying to dethrone it. I have to say, it's doing a sterling job. The main problem is, I think, is that people can't see past the MFT sensor. As it's small, they don't think it's up to the task, which, as we can see from @ChrisBaitson and other photographers, just isn't the case.

I’ve never actually done star trails with it, I’ll have to try it and see how the results turn out.

Have fun with that 12-45, it's an incredible lens! Pair that with the 40-150 f4 pro and a fast prime of your favorite focal length you'll be set for almost anything.

Thank you and glad I was able to help! How do you find the OM-5?

I’ve also just bought the same kit. Came from Nikon ZF, great camera but a brick. The OM-5 does everything I want it to do and more. Extremely pleased with it.

So longer exposures work better? I’ll give it a try.

I need to grab a G9 and an GX80, I’ve heard good things about both of them cameras.

Never considered that actually, I’ll have a go when the time comes and film it!

Thank you very much! It took a long time to get comfortable acting an idiot in front of a camera 🤣

Explain why black and white is old fashioned?

They will sadly copy at some point.

Ricoh GR has had it for quite some time

Mono lobster pot = brilliant.

I had an old LUMIX GX7 and really liked the rangefinder style to it, as well as the tilting EVF.

I’m going to have to try fireworks, there have been a few comments about them.

I’d agree, it’s very similar to how smart phones work, or perhaps more like how star trail photos are typically done, only it’s in camera and less faffing about when you get home and I’m all for less faff!

I had wellies in the car. Mistakes were made.

Everyone has something that works for them, like you Nikon, but it’s always nice to find something new and fun.

Thank you. I just wanted to try something different, while it works great at the coast just be careful with the clouds 😆

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the support!

Get yourself down to Spurn and have a go like I did! Will have to meet up at some point if your game.

@@ChrisBaitson Hi Chris. that would be great. I live across the Humber opposite Spurn, I'll swear I could see you on the beach the other day.

Because the camera doesn’t have an ND filter inside of it.

Видимо при использовании live-composite нельзя использовать встроенный nd-фильтр.

@@ChrisBaitson oh you are not shooting with the OM1 m1 or 2

Thank you Eric.

I've just picked up an OM-1.2 and have to say the computational features, especially the GradND filter, is an absolute winner.

@@benejpocock 👏👏👏I think high resolution shooting with 14bit is another gift. Not to mention the ND 128 filter, that is, 128 stacked photos, with the consequent expansion of dynamic range and color fidelity...

@@salgado_fotos Totally agree. I’ve only had it a week though so still very much in discovery mode!

Just a generic Amazon one. There’s a link on my storefront from my links section.

Nice video, but why you always use your l brackets the opposite way? I've also seen you use it on the Sony the same way. That piece of aluminum on the grip side doesn't look very comfortable. 😅

Peperidge farm remembers Lumix GM-1

Honestly they could rerelease GM1 mk.ii and I'll buy it before thinking about it

Yes. I still wish that OM System would turn be smarter, and focus heavily to E-M10 and E-M5 size bodies. The E-M1 that Olympus made in 2013 was perfect size. The additional grip was very comfortable (once you realize how to keep your pinky below) in multiple different angles, but it wasn't so pocketable like the E-M5 (2012 model) was. The E-M10 is jewery. Very nice with the EVF. But my personal favorite is the E-M10 Mk2, that has the taller and well curled knobs. That is perfect sized tiny SLR body. I have E-M1 II as my primary camera, but it is big, and the side swiving display is pure annoyance for every single time using that camera. Totally unsuitable for photography and videography. Who ever wants those, are stupid. As that hinge design is legacy from Canon when they couldn't make a 90's displays tilt by any other means. OM System true jewel anymore is really the E-PL line. And even those are growing larger and larger. And they should really get back to down, like E-PM2 or GM1. That is where the normal camera body should be. And then keep E-M5 size body for professionals with all bells and whistless imaginable.

That’s a K&F Square Pro system.
