My wife and I came to an agreement that I have one bank account that I can put my weekly money into (direct transfer from another bank account at the same bank). That bank account is tied to ...

I don't own a G9 and I tend to shoot 1080p on my G85, but the G85 manual says: (1) MP4 motion pictures with a [Rec Quality] size of [4K]: Motion picture file will be recorded and played back in separate ...

My G85 and LX10 both do this for 1080p.  Both those two cameras can record longer than 30 minutes, so it may not be a fair comparison, but it shows Panasonic did do this in older cameras.  The G85 ...

Well it is was introduced in 2011.  Olympus has had various sales of it over the years, usually down to $150 US. Given the sales seem to have stopped, I imagine Olympus has sold most of their ...

I don't have the FZ2500, but generally with Panasonic cameras, if you have the European version of the camera, it will indeed stop at 29 minutes and 59 seconds.  This is due to a tariff that is ...

I have two main complaints of the JPG engine of my 3 Panasonic cameras (G85, LZ10, FZ300) compared to my Olympus cameras (E-m1 mark I, E-m10 mark II, E-m5 mark I, Stylus-1, TG-5, E-pm2, E-p2, E-5, ...

I've shot in some wet environments over the years, and I never had problems with my Olympus gear. Unfortunately, I had a slight mishap with my G85 and Panasonic 100-300mm mark II lens. I was on a ...

Adorama is currently running an 'open box' special on the Flashpoint Zoom-Mini Mini Thinklite TTL R2 Flash, which is the same thing as the Gotox TT350o. The open box is $59 + s/h, compared to $84 ...

Yes they are coded for the specific job (i.e. the camera) and they often have specialized units that help with specific tasks, but these days any camera is going to have a general CPU inside. It ...

It sort of depends on several things that you need to think about: (1) What is your budget? (2) How much space does it take to bring the cameras, batteries, and lenses on the trip in ...

While it might be just a metering problem, it might be a symptom of a bad shutter. I was shooting my E-m1 last summer.  I found when I was using a long lens, it would over expose but when I used a ...

Bear in mind none of the lenses you have are splash proof, but the 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ' kit ' lens that comes with the G85 is splash proof.  While not at the level of the pro level lenses, the ...

Thanks for the heads up.  I saw the Viltrox but I hadn't done the research to see whether it would work or not.

I have the 20mm f/1.7 mark I and I've used it for about 7 years. Sure it is slow to focus, and you have to use it in S-AF mode in video, but it is a nice small, fun, and sharp lens, particularly ...

In one of the forums, somebody asked what ISO do you shoot out, and I dug into my numbers. For the E-m1 mark I, which tends to be my goto m4/3rds camera for low light situations I see: (1) 41% at ISO ...

And if your problem is not enough outlets, this cable (or others like it) can allow you to connect up to 4 chargers to a single A/C outlet: (1) https://www.adorama.com/owcmnepwrus4.html

The 20mm is a fine sharp and small lens. However, it has a reputation for being slow to focus. If you a recording at low sound levels, you might hear the sound of the lens focus motor as it ...

Well the answer in these questions is always "it depends". Personally, since I've had one since 2016, the answer is I don't need a second one. The G85 has always struck me as a moma bear camera ...

Of the three, I only have the LX10. However, for video my preferred gear is the G85 with fast lenses, but that is outside of your price range. I've done some low light video with the LX10. Overall, ...

The E-m5 was the first Olympus OM-D camera.  The OM-D line includes a built-in electronic viewfinder.  Earlier Pen cameras supported using the VF-2 (and later VF-3/VF-4) electronic viewfinders.
