With ongoing worldwide supply chain issues, and the difficulty in even getting the new 8-25mm f/4 lens into distribution, makes sense not to overpromise.

.... or -- a contrary view -- long term strategy of building their own brand -- huge win.

I walked away from Nikon to go with Olympus -- now heavily invested in Oly gear -- no regrets whatsoever. Actually, just purchased an E-M1x body during the recent refurb sale over at getolympus.com.

14mm f/1.4 would be larger and heavier than my 12mm f/2. My back and knees would not be happy. The 12mm f/2.0 works quite well with the e-m5 mark i, still remarkably capable several iterations past.

For all the doom and gloom comments when Olympus morphed to this OM DS structure, the company seems intent on continuing and growing the product line. The MFT format, with its wonderful IBIS, are...

Olympus 12mm f/2.0 -- small, lightweight. Was out shooting with it today on my 16 mp E-M1 mark i body.

I agree with these comments -- I was a Win7 user who migrated to Mac when Microsoft stopped supporting that operating system.  Win10 feels to me like a shopping mall -- like they're trying to sell ...

Thanks!  This offer is what prompted the question.  Just not sure about size and weight.  Love my smaller Olympus bodies, going all the way back to my "entry drug" -- the E-M10ii.

Two years+ on, Olympus has reduced the price of this body pretty substantially -- what is a price point where this body is a good choice today (August 2021)?

...... and I've used that warranty -- have an E-M1 mark I purchased two weeks ago in to KEH for repair under warranty.  A part broke off the body in my first use.

Smartphones are the Brownie cameras of the 21st century. Simple to use photography for the mass market.

Smartphones take over? Your crystal ball is better than mine.

Money no object, but size and weight is an object. That makes my Olympus M43 kit with smaller prime and zoom lenses, Fujifilm X100 (both T and V in my bag), and Panasonic LX100ii the clear winners...

The 9-18mm was an experiment for me. I could not afford the 7-14 pro, and liked the smaller size and lighter weight of the 9-18. Once I got it on my camera, I was very pleased with the results.

I've been very happy with the 9-18 and small is a factor for travel.

I find that every time I purchase a camera there is learning curve before I am happy with my own results.  That's on me, not the camera.

Having used the camera for four months now, I find it is an easy choice for grab and go.  Still learning to get the best results, but for me, a good  purchase decision.

I know this is an opinion piece, but, wow, I do not agree with the opinion. The true value of a tool is in handing over control. Cameras are designed to hand photographers control of their...

Thank you.
