Perhaps nothing new for people who own MFT equipment but a good informative video by Duade Paton about the joy of shooting wildlife with MFT.

I agree! It is a hopeful message but perhaps it doesn’t reflect the reality.An inspiring video indeed.
As to, "Why people are switching to MFT", I'd like to see evidence of this. No, really, I don't mean that cynically. Anecdotal comment is not enough.
I suspect it comes from interactions with his viewers/subscribers. He did a video a few months back about things one should consider before investing in new gear. One point he raised was weight, and in doing so he said "One I have been getting all the time recently, and it's surprised me how often it's popping up, is people are complaining about the weight".I agree!

Like I said in the other thread, the video would add weight if Duade Paton gets himself a OM1 and something like 100-400.An inspiring video indeed.

People are switching both to and away from MFT. He's giving some of the reasoning why many of the people who switch to MFT are doing so.An inspiring video indeed.

It doesn't appear that people in Japan are switching to m4/3rds. Aps-c appears to be way more popular now.Perhaps nothing new for people who own MFT equipment but a good informative video by Duade Paton about the joy of shooting wildlife with MFT.




Yes, I was looking at that report the other day. As someone curious about getting an OM-3 someday, I hope perhaps it will see some good sales sooner than later. At least, if that top 50 chart is an indication of it not selling very well, then that would seem likely.The OM System OM3 and OM1ii didn't make it into the top 50!It doesn't appear that people in Japan are switching to m4/3rds.

No one is "switching". The comments Duade highlighted are people who already shoot FF, and added an additional kit. The M43 system is a side kit that compliments FF, it doesn't replace it. Think of it like steak and potatoes. The potatoes don't replace the steak. No one's switching from eating steaks to potatoes. It's a good addition for FF users who can afford to run two systems. It's great for adventures where you're walking long distances and don't want to carry so much weight. Adventures where image quality can take a back seat - adventures where the journey is more important than the destination.Perhaps nothing new for people who own MFT equipment but a good informative video by Duade Paton about the joy of shooting wildlife with MFT.
Neither did the Nikon Z8 or Z9, Canon R5 or R7, Sony A1 or A9, Fuji XH2S - ie no wildlife orientated kit. Wildlife is where m43 really excels - in fact, I was quite surprised that the G9ii made it into the listIt doesn't appear that people in Japan are switching to m4/3rds.

It seems like IBIS is not a popular sought after feature in Japan as the R10 doesn't have it and is the no.1 seller.Wildlife is where m43 really excels - in fact, I was quite surprised that the G9ii made it into the list

I doubt a camera that's absent from the top 50 necessarily represents a decline of a brand.I don't see any Leica camera's in the top 50 either and you don't hear talk of them declining.![]()
I'm surprised the OM1ii isn't in the top 50. The G9ii made it to no.39.I'm all seriousness I love My OM-1 and GX85. Both for different reasons.
