About Olympus camera lenses sizes and complaints .

I have the E-M10 ..small compact and i can use all m4/3 lenses (normal and Pro) with kit lens .

I have E-M5 something bigger and i can use all m4/3 lenses ( normal and Pro ) with kit lens .

I have E-M1 series a bit more bigger and i can use all m4/3 lenses (normal and Pro) .

I have E-M1X great camera for wildlife ... much more people are discovering the greatness of this camera after 2years .... (this E-M1X has been burned down from the start by stupid people ) , and i can put all m4/3 lenses on it (big and small) .

I bought the 300mm Pro when it first came out ..... a marvel ! a small big lens which blows away the competition ..still after using it for 4 years ? I bought several small lenses too.. and they are all very good for what i do.

I dream about the 150-400mm .. a huge Pro lens .... which is a send from someone out there in the universe .... but a but to hefty on price for me .

So anyone complaining about the size ? Come on .. you have a choice , from small to bigger ..but all still small in comparison to the rest of the brands .

So you have a choice and next to it brand new technology ..... I do not see this with the rest of the brands .

Stop nagging and use all shapes and sizes of lenses and cameras to put you effort into making your photos ...

You seem happy with your choise, I prefer Panasonic

Panasonic Also has many different sized bodies. Even going one step farther and creating the very small gm series.

The GM series no longer exists There’s no point counting as valid options cameras you can’t buy new anymore as an advantage and offering for that company

Gm line exists it was just discontinued.

for the purposes of citing it as a m43 offering as a small camera it’s done and gone. You can’t buy a new one under official warranty etc  and it’s outdated

Unless you are suggesting all gm series cameras were destroyed or impossible to buy.

they are indeed impossible to buy brand new - at least with reasonable availability and price   I am not suggesting it - I am calling it as it is

Rare maybe, I've seen them pop up a few times. You cannot discount them just because product was discointued.

yes we can if it’s not reasonably available which it’s not   It’s also outdated

Used or not the camera is still a part of the system (and are still used).

not to show that as an offering because it’s not I’m the market  we can talk about the camera as something that was offered   Uiu can’t Vite it as an ex some of m43 available body to buy becuade it’s gone - in the context of today’s competitive market

Anyway my main point was that Panasonic also offers a complete line of bodies sizes almost matching olympus and going one step more and producing the very small gm line.

They don’t because  gm5 is no longer sold by them  it’s really that simple  though there’s g100 now
