The learning curve is steeper than some programs of its type, but as a RAW development program ON1 gives me great results, seemingly better quality in many ways than other programs I have used. ...

Makes perfect sense to me. Olympus plans to do what they do best, stills oriented photography and world class optics in their lenses. Panasonic does what they do best, excellent video. And we as ...

It's been my camera of choice for the past two years, small, good high ISO and is just fun to take photos with.

Wonder how this lens would compare to the Oly 17mm f1.8? I have seen several reviews where the Oly 17mm f1.8 is sharp across the frame wide open. Would the Sigma have to be stopped down from f1.4...

Not really, there are both pros, amateurs like me and neophytes. If you have not already made up your mind how terrible and awful m43 is, enjoy this website:

I think early batches may have had softer copies.  If you look at some reviews the peak resolution is incredibly sharp.

PDAF, slightly better IQ, slightly smaller and access to more lenses are my reasons to stick with Olympus E-M1ii.  OTOH, that viewfinder on the G9 does look really nice!   Choices, choices.

The Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 is really sharp and much lighter than the 40-150mm f2.8 For landscapes you really don't need the extra 2 f stops with IBIS. If you taking photos of moving objects like ...

Looks like a really specialized camera, great for those in cinema.   It doesn't fit my needs but it is great to have in the m43 system.  No doubt more great lenses will be on the way because of ...

Thank you, that does look like a great place for nature photography.

I have the 12-40 but have used the 12-60.  Both are going to be excellent optically, but as others have said there is nothing like having a constant f2.8 focal length for FF equivalent 24-80mm in ...

I notice the high ISO on the G9 is somewhat worse. Maybe the G5S will be better.

Maybe because they used a lens on the G9 that is $1000 more expensive than the one shot on the EM1.2

Correct me if I'm wrong but can we get great low ISO by just downsizing photos from the present 20MP or 16MP sensors?  ISO 25,600 look pretty good when downsized in half.

PDAF is by its nature better than DFD, which is why Sony uses it as well.  Panasonic is just using DFD because they are committed to it, put a lot of money into it.  It will be interesting to see ...

I use the Oly 12-40mm. From what I have read about the PL 12-60mm, both are excellent in terms of IQ. The reason I don't buy the PL 12-60mm is that it is not a consistent f2.8 lens which means ...

i could buy a G9 or an E-M1ii as a replacement for my E-M5.  The G9 is tempting with the new EVF and 6k/8k stills, but from everything I have seen I think the Olympus PDAF will still be a tad ...

Better JPEG engine, but the RAW files are the same.

Then you would be able to get very good results at 2-3 seconds on the E-M1ii and manage a few at up to 5 seconds.

The AF and the IBIS will still be not up to the E-M1ii standards. Having to raise the ISO to handhold in darker settings is a big minus.
