If the bird is very distant, it will often not be very sharp because of atmospheric distortion. For those very distant, small birds, I simply flip the camera to portrait orientation and it will ...

It is much easier to frame images of animals in a zoo for best effect.  They are not going anywhere. I find that few animals in the wild remain in a position long enough to carefully frame the ...

Using a tripod is rarely a good option for wildlife, unless you are in a location where the wildlife comes to you. The shutter speed necessary to avoid blur will depend on the ...

There will always be lower priced FF cameras which are priced equal to of lower than the most expensive mFTs cameras.  I have no desire to move to FF, but that is certainly a viable option for ...

It depends on what you photograph.  I find the E-m1+300mm f4+MC14 can become a much more useful lens with the dual stabilization.  Of course one could carry a tripod as one walks through ...

If you use half press of the shutter with Low Sequential, the shutter will release with full press and Rls Priority C = On with either the 300mm f4 or the 50-200 SWD.  Focus does not need to be ...

The E-M1 focus is almost instantaneous with the 300mm f4 in CAF mode (PDAF used), as long as the target has sufficient height.  The sensors are not cross type so they are sensitive to verticals.  ...

My first Olympus digital DSLR was the E510, upgraded to the E5, upgraded to the E=M1 (with an E-M10 backup). I will upgrade to the E-M1 MkII because 121 cross phase detect sensor points is a ...

No, I never bother with those types of presentations, they are all too much like political adds in the USA, I just go to the website and click on specifications.  As long as those are accurate, ...

Since these specifications come from the Olympus website, how have they not been clear?

[Sequential shooting L] approx. 10 fps with selectable 1-10 fps (including AF tracking: C-AF+TR)

I haven't tried High sequential with Electronic Shutter for BIFs.  The OP is using a FTs lens, so it is only PDAF in all modes. I think the difference in autofocus with High Sequential vs Low is ...

Another really cute Aussie bird.  Very good set of images.

The E-M1 with your current EC14+50-200 should be fine, unless you are photographing really fast, really close airplanes. The 40-150 f2.8 with & without the MC14 would work except for those where ...

Great set of images.

Great set of images.

Maybe useful for sports when you know where the action will be especially when you have a reasonable depth of field.  Not as useful for using the 300mm especially with the MC14, where the depth of ...

If it is still "Under Study" Panasonic probably doesn't yet know the actual size, unless they mean it has been designed and pre-production models produced, but don't know yet if they ...

When you assign a Myset to a Mode position on the current E-M1, you can make any changes to the settings while that mode is active and the temporary changes remain until the camera is turned off ...

It would still be better than carrying two lenses to cover the same focal lengths for a walk around lens/camera combination and no need to change lenses.  Of course, if you don't want the 60-100mm ...
