I shoot wildlife, macro, street, and landscapes as a hobby. When I am photographing my family, I use the excellent F1.2 primes. I usually don't have excessive noise issues even in low light, but I ...

Excellent post. I will add that m43 can sacrifice shutter speed for S/N in a way that full-frame cameras currently can't. This will probably change in the next few years when full-frame camera ...

Ah, the pointless argument that never ends. If you don't want to freeze movement, M43 can perform as or much better than a full-frame camera thanks to the amazing ibis and high-resolution hand-held ...

@entoman - I am very sorry that in a year of a global pandemic, social distancing, lockdowns and economic meltdown that not have been seen since the great depression, the contest could not produce...

@ entoman - Perhaps you are excellent wildlife and macro photographer, but it doesn't mean that you have the skillset to appreciate a good travel photograph.

Personally, I find many of the...

Because iPhone was designed for amateurs that want to take a quick and, in most cases, average photo and share it immediately on social media for instant gratification. A professional camera such ...

This effect happens when you photograph in harsh light. This is not exclusive to Olympus. I saw many premium telephoto lenses from different manufacturers with similar results. The key is to be ...

@armandino

Experience taught me that what truly matters in a good photograph is color, composition, and capturing the moment. Nobody except for tech nerds care about ISO noise and DR. I saw...

@armandino

Unlike you I don't get emotionally attached to camera gear. I never said that at the current pricing the Olympus 150-400 is a good value lens. I said that your claim that the current...

@armandino

There is nothing "mediocre" with current MFT cameras DR. A $1,300 MFT camera offers about the same DR versus ISO setting as a $3,000 - $4,000 full-frame camera....

@Darren James

Do yourself a favor and stop following that idiot Tony Northrup. In the past, he taught how photography works and shared some useful tips, but nowadays his channel is mostly about...

My advice is don't waste your money on new lenses. The second-hand market is overflooded with barely used gear. You can buy a second hand Olympus 25mm F1.2 on eBay for $600-$700 like I did.

With long lenses you get duel-stabilization. If this is your experience with IBIS, you did not use the right cameras/lenses. My experience with a camera with effective IBIS is completely opposite ...

Yes, in theory, if you run both photos through DeNoise AI the two stops advantage will still exist, but in real-life situations, you won't notice any difference in details without zooming in by ...

The DeNoise AI is so damn effective that I don't see how it is getting any better with a full-frame sensor when viewing at 100%. You will have to zoom in 300%-400% to see a difference between the two.

I like Robin, but don't forget that he is Olympus's salesperson. I agree with Robin that understanding equivalence doesn't make somebody a better photographer because photography is about light, ...

Maybe if the lens arrived two years ago with the EM1-X, Olympus's imaging division was still alive.

I have the 40-150 F2.8 + MC14, and this lens is too short for wildlife, even with the teleconverter attached. This lens is fine for big animals and birds that allow you to get relatively close or ...
