Has anyone on the forum ever seen a E-M1X in the wild ?

Never. In fact, I've only ever seen one other person using a m43 camera - ever! I'm in the US and to say the system isn't popular here is an understatement.

i saw one again today, then again i've seen the guy before, easy to spot because he's a proper ginger
 
I don't' do birding/wildlife as my regular thing. So I would imagine if I was going to see them I would have to first be around those areas.

Doing street photography with an EM1X doesn't strike me as a common occurrence and that's a lot of what I do
I doubt if you would do well in the UK

Here, you would almost certainly be arrested for

i, being a pervert

ii, being a terrorist

iii unspecified
Very true even with a smaller camera

Fortunately most of us do not have to be dealing with the most hypocritical society in Europe

Soo pleased with the Brexit 😂😂

Weird I thought the Uk still allowed street photography but I know the European unions doesn’t quite
The UK does still allow street photography. You are highly unlikely to be arrested for any of those things (and arresting you for (iii) is against the law in any case - if you're arrested, you have to be told the reason for the arrest). What is true is that many people are uncomfortable about people with cameras, especially if children are involved, and might possibly complain to the police. The police shouldn't take any action unless you are doing something illegal, and just taking photos in the street isn't.

There is now a law that makes the genre that is called 'upskirt' illegal. It maybe that was what admonished was thinking of, if it had affected his photography. But as long as you steer clear of that, you commit no offence.
Thanks for letting me know. Seems somewhat similar to USA but I think they are more aware photographing is a thing here (at the cops level, at the people level there's also an increase with people being uncomfy).

False on most fronts.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with either the EU or Brexit.

Well I you are going to talk about hypocrisy, how about Henri Catier Bresson can't do the work he did today in the same place (France) because of the new privacy laws and article 9 on France!

Even the arts minister of France of 4-6 years ago IIRC mentioned an exception needed to be worked on, so today Henri (or someone like him) could. But that hasn't been done.

I mean, I am not the side of agreeing with Brexit (but then I am not British)- and there's plenty of hypocrisy over here, but just saying :-)

Once again , you responded to my post without either reading it or understanding it :-O

what is the supposed hypocrisy there ?

I am not even sure you understood that either

Your desperation in actively responding to every one in almost every thread is really polluting this forum in my opinion

it is ok not to have an opinion on everything you know :-D:-D

In the past decade I've only visited the US once, and that visit lasted less than a week.

I was able to work in a single visit to a city park outside the busy working schedule, and saw just one person with an interchangeable lens camera (other than myself) and that was an Olympus OMD type. I thought US people all use OMDs ;)

that Henri Cartier Bresson - a French street photography luminaire can’t do his own work today in his own country that he did due to privacy law? There’s a tinge of hypocritical here ;-)

but to be honest it’s hard to understand your post given you just made a blanket statement about an entire country without any context - so hard to take seriously ;-)

that Henri Cartier Bresson - a French street photography luminaire.
A luminaire . seriously you should limit yourself to words which you know the meaning of :-)

Not to mention this snobbery about HCB is getting old . There were many photographers at that time whose work is waaayyy more interesting

HCB is to the street snob what bokeh, or Boca or whichever spelling you prefer is to the pretentious portrait photographer
can’t do his own work today in his own country that he did due to privacy law? There’s a tinge of hypocritical here ;-)
no it is just things change over time , in every country

and by the way he could not do the work today because he is DEAD .. so your point of comparing things is completely ridiculous :-P

Ah, the royal "we" strikes again. Please don't generalize. Many people, including myself, do not base purchase decisions on what others choose. I don't care what anyone else uses, and I'm sure many people feel the same way.

As for MFT, like many people here, I've been aware of the format since it was announced, and started using it with the EM5-II.
Same.

I started with the original G1 kit.

At the time, everyone was still buying Canon APSC DSLRs with like 5 stops (total) of grainy DR and the long dark chunnel for the viewfinder, with their one slow kit lens that they never took off of the camera ... ever.

m43 was such a breath of fresh air.

And I like small cameras and lenses. The "big black plastic dinosaurs" style may be perpetually in at the big box stores, but it's a real turn-off for anyone who actually uses a camera.

I have tried a number of larger sensor cameras since, hoping that someone would get it right, but no one has. Not for me, anyhow.

Way to go , insult everyone who prefers to use a larger bodied camera, They don't actually use a camera!

Ha ha ha. Nothing new here, being perpetually offended seems to be the fashionable thing these days. Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks :)

It does not bother me , I am simply amused by those who define a camera purely by their own requirements. That all cameras for m4/3 have to be as small as possible "because", (insert reason) is as bad as those who say all sensors have to be FF and give endless reasons based on equivalence theories why you cant take a good photo on a small sensor.
 
Here is an excellent example of EM1X in the wild - see first picture in this thread and read how he spends momths in the wild waiting for his subject to approach

Whatever. I was one of the people lugging a Canon around.

I'm sure your Nikon kit didn't have any of those issues, so you're probably fine.

are you suggesting that those lucky Olympus E-M1X + 150-400mm f/4 owners are not actually using their gear - or they do use it but find it a 'turn off"
