There are bunches of them. The end that plugs into the charger is a nearly universal standard. You probably have some around your home. The Apple "duck bill" (or duck head) plug that comes will ...

I live in Bangkok and Olympus has an excellent distribution network here. I see a lot of M4:3 gear on the street, probably more Oly than Panny but not significantly more. My unscientific, anecdotal ...

Use an Olympus body with the Oly 45mm f1.2. Stabilization and weather sealing.

Cameras can already make better pictures than most of us are making. If you want to be a better photographer, you need to make more pictures. Remember the old joke, a tourist asked a musician how ...

Sensor size is just one part of the cost equation in camera bodies. In a lot of ways, the E-M1 Mark II is one of the most advanced bodies on the market with some features no other camera can match. ...

There are several chargers that come with car charger adapters (the cigarette lighter plug). This Wasabi charger , available from Amazon, for example.

The 40-150 is very large and heavy and relatively expensive by M4:3 terms but it is an amazing lens. I came to M4:3 from "full frame" (and film before that). My 40-150 replaced my 70-200 and my ...

You're right. I moved to M4:3 full time in 2014 after a career spent in Canon film (I've been a fill time photojournalist since 1984) and digital cameras. I started with the Panasonic GF1 and ...

I'm left eye dominant and I swing the LCD closed. If you're into retro (which obviously not everyone is) it completes the look.

You're right. I thought about it after I posted and I realized that what I wrote was uncalled for. I'm sorry.

Of all the possible criticisms of cameras, "cuddly and effeminate" are two of the worst. And most misogynistic.

As digital cameras become more mature, the pace of innovation is bound to slow. I look at my E-M1 Mark II now and think there really isn't much I want added via firmware. I think it's a pretty ...

I use it for close range daylight fill and to trigger my larger flashes in off camera flash setups.

When I was working with Lumix cameras I used the reciprocal rule, but like other posters I did the math for lens equivalency (1/20th for 12mm, 1/30 for 17mm etc), although I was generally steady ...

Getting UHS II speeds out of the lower slot is a hardware issue.

I carry the primes 12mm f2, 17mm f1.8, 25mm f1.8, 45mm f1.8 and 75mm f1.8, with hoods and rear lens caps on but front lens caps off. I use an old school shoulder bag - the Domke F2. The bag is a ...

In general, he's quite supportive of M4:3 with a very realistic and pragmatic view of the format's strengths and weaknesses.

I used the E-M5 Mark II as my main cameras for a couple of years. I liked it a lot. Paired with the Olympus f1.8 primes it was a great camera. The biggest issues I had with it were battery life ...

I'm gonna go on a little bit of a rant here. I agree with you. I think the "full frame" manufacturers are missing the point and promise of mirrorless. They've delivered on smaller/lighter bodies ...
