a lot of lenses for mft are stupidly sharp, to get that kinda quality in FF you need to pay lots of money 😀
You guys are ageing well….
Love for the shot at 04:50, like catching a glimpse of a scene right out of a fairytale.
Still don't want to sell my M4/3 lenses, because I'm longing for a new "small" Camera with that mount (imagine a GX9 successor with the sensor of the G9II).
Unfortunately the image stabilization in these apparently starts to break down. Got two Olympus cameras that have that blinking red notification on screen.
Other than for wildlife photography, I see no reason to buy a m4/3 camera ever. Better go with APS-C or even FF if you don't mind heavier equipment.
To be followed by "Tthe 9 reasons not to buy micro 4/3s cameras".
A 10+ year old Christmas song come to my mind….
"lokC's round with his olympus ep1, he's a bit tipsy but he's having okay good fun!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kai, do you remember that? LOL!!!!!!
GX9 and the 14-140 it's a great do it all setup.
You've got the oly 12-100 and 300mm F4 that have image quality as good as any. Well apart from the 10-20k full frame combinations.
With dxo even highish iso isn't a problem.
Ok it lacks some low light ability and if you need amazing toneh then it's not for you.
But why limit yourself to only one camera.
I love dynamic range too! We should be best friends. 😛
We got a camera drop instead of a mic drop. 😲
I got into amateur photography with a Panasonic G10 and my favourite photos have been taken on this. Love a good micro 4/3's
most modern medium format sensors are 4:3 also
Oh, your poor GM1! LOL. I do wish Panasonic would come out with a new version of the GM5, the ultimate tiny camera…I still have mine, and do use it on occasion when tiny is necessary.
I've been using M43 since 2011. I do have an S5 now also, and like it a great deal, but yeah, the lenses are big….Beautiful output though. However, for most things, the size advantage of the M43 lenses are unbeatable, and most of them are optically excellent.
One thought: I recently picked up a G9II, when Panasonic had a big sale on them. I had no intention of getting a larger bodied M43, but it was too good to pass up, so…. I have to say I have been utterly shocked at how much better the DR, and tonal and color gradation is on the G9II than any of the system's prior 20MP sensors. It's not a small difference. And, of course, the PDAF is a HUGE improvement over the prior DFD CDAF they have had in their M43 bodies.
I would LOVE to see you do a comparison of the G9II and S5II, and the GM5II that you have here, also. No, you are not going to get the same high ISO capabilities that the FF has in any M43 body, but for reasonable light, the G9II is the very first M43 camera that really steps up in output and gets close.
MFT forever. GM1, GX7, GX8, GX850, G9. Yay. Thanks. toronto canada.
Panasonic has great Color Science , all the DSLR's , GH2 thru the GH5, and even the G85…..I own several of these cameras, if you want a Film look, nothing beats the GH2 Color Science…..The G85 has IBIS and great Codec Options as well…..Most can be had for under 1K…Panasonic Lumix Line is very under rated………. Sony has gotten all the Press , they do have better auto focus and AI features…. If you can afford it, I suggest a couple of Cameras from both Sony and Panasonic…..
Whew is that cave?
Actually insane lens loadout, from 16-800mm in one bag. And that's next to four bodies instead of one or two.
Back in the day sensor manufacturing cost was a very significant factor in determining overall system cost. This is no longer true. Lens manufacturing cost now dominates. M43 lenses are much more difficult to manufacture than the equivalent full frame lens. Consider, for example, a f/1.8 50mm lens capable of resolving 20 Mpixels on a full frame sensor. The equivalent f/0.9 25mm lens capable of resolving 20 Mpixels on a M43 sensor is a much bigger engineering challenge, and will require a much more complex and expensive design. It seems to me that full frame will therefore eventually become the realm of the amateur photographer and M43 will probably be mainly the realm of professional videographers, where the high readout speed of small sensors is crucial.
Nah
smile good news hope the other panasonic models step up with new release too, what about schedules and planings, one open topic to be true i still hope i find some techsupport guys at panasonic for advanced hardening topics for real important relyable work in difficult scenarios…cheers:)
another one, you can forward some request for some 600mm leica lense or even larger…this is missing in the sortiment…
em1x was my favorite camera for a long time. still love micro 4/3. great video!
as a G85 user, yes, nice pictures, video, light, compact, rigid and affordable price.. not to mention superb ibis, 4k, now up to 25mp and long last battery, oh not to mention weather proof
Lord Tony has spoken. Micro 4/3 is dead, and we all know lord Tony knows everything. Meanwhile my em1x keeps clicking away.
They don't even seem that small compared to apsc or ff
My problem with micro four thirds is that there are so many APSC cameras now (and a few full frame) that are very very small which give you excellent portable options. The Sony A6XXX line is very compact and the latest ones have every feature you could need and tons of compact lenses. Fuji obviously has many compact ILC bodies and small fixed lens cameras as well. Though the x-e4, t30, and t100 like IBIS they will probably replace the t30 and e4 in the next year and will add IBIS since this is the trend for their cameras and they will need to compete with sony. The T5/T4/H2 are really not that much bigger than M43 cameras and the Fuji X mount lens lineup has tons of high quality compact options.
But I would be interested in a M43 fixed lens compact like a new pen F.
M43 is the FUTURE! M43 = FUN!!
I use an EM1-Mark 3 > Shooting predominately at night in a large city. If I can see it the camera can capture it. The IBIS is world class. I seldom have to boost the ISO beyond 2000. Add Zuiko Pro glass, and the Leica line of Panny lenses and you are set.
sometimes I shoot my M4/3 in 3:2 ratio so that my Full Frame friends people won't know I'm shooting with a tiny sensor.
really no point given how small full frame camera and lens are getting
Had an EP-5 with Oly 17/1.8, PanaLeica 25/1.4, and Oly 45/1.8. This was a great little package. Took the camera with the 17 to a business trip to NYC and brought back some amazing shots.
Love my MFT….using it more than my Nikons….just more FUN!
It’s so nice to see Kai and Lok back making videos since the days of DigitalRev, really helped me find my passion for photography
E-M1X is an oxymoronically very cool camera. If I had one, I'd probably rock it with the 9mm bodycap-lens.
I love and hate that you’re talking about this…I love my pen f and omd em5 mk3 and all the Olympus primes and pro lenses. The quality of the lenses and prices are incredible, it’s the perfect size to travel, durable, and the image quality has almost never been a constraint. I’ve been using Olympus m43 for over 10 years now. I just hope this video doesn’t start driving up prices!
Tony : m4/3 is dead
Kai : when Tony is dead, m4/3 still life.😅
I'm still rocking on my EM10 MKii, paired with the legendary 17mm, f1.8 lens (equiv. 34mm full frame) 😍🔥
Nonsense. Small sensor, large cameras, even larger lenses.
1. The original G9 looks damn sexy, very professional thus making you instantly a 3 times better photographer just by holding and using it.
How about a 1. of April part 2 of this video where you put in the ridiciolous reasons from the comments why mft is great? 🙂
micro four turds
I picked up a used GH5 last year for $500 and it’s such a fantastic camera. Micro 4/3rds lenses are incredible for the price and overall super happy that I switched from Canon EF.
Yepp time to brag my gx85
I ditched my bulky dslr for mft and havent looked back. The image quality is decent enough and I don't have to lug a big ass camera around 😂. I have an Em-10 mk 2 and a gx-80. So not even top of the line but the images are just very decent ❤
I'm actually looking at MFT again, trying to get a birding setup on a budget, because pf the 2x crop factor eheh
the lenses are not fast. No, they're not 'fast for their size'. They're exactly as fast/small as expected lol. The zoom is an f8. And it's okay.
