Very nice images; thanks for sharing 😊.

I’m sure they are good cameras in many ways…I’m just not convinced about using smaller sensors than APS-C. This has nothing to do with Olympus as such. They have a history of making quality photographic equipment, no doubt about that.

M4/3 has certain advantages like a wider lens availability, higher buffer, probably best video MILC cameras (Panasonic) etc but there are two big caveats:

(1) it was supposed to be a system for birders, and long tele users, but that never really happened. As a side note, an m4/3 crop from NX500 is 16MP, which makes the 18-200mm lens on NX500 with m4/3 crop a FF equivalent 36-400mm lens...not bad is it?

(2) Ultra wide-angle lenses are very difficult to design, and hence rarely available. I’m not sure if they even have a FF equivalent 12mm lens? Sigma has a 8-16mm (FF equivalent of 12-24mm) APS-C lens for many mounts.

I might buy a m4/3 camera someday just for video but is it viable as the “only” system one owns? I don’t think so..unless one has a very limited use (No ultra wide angle work, no birding, no portraits (DOF limitations), etc). Beause of these reasons, I don’t rate the whole “system” very high.

... but I don't see the need to put down any other system.

Just my humble opinion:-)

Samsung can't get near that, sadly.

True, and that's what I dislike about NX system. Not enough lenses

There will come a time when we all move on from NX.

Certainly. I do use other systems also because NX system has its limitations.

But when I do, it will almost certainly be for M43.

Fair enough. I think if I ever go for a big change then it would be dumping all my current gear and get on board with Sony E system. Not there yet though
