I rarely  shoot less than 3000-4000 (and could easily get 10,000) images on a single battery with my EVF, though at my age I rarely walk more than 4-5 hours.   The LCD and/or EVF are the only ...

The E-M5 MkII is a very good camera, but not for things that move.  The E-M1 MkII would be a very definite improvement.  The 20MP sensor does offer better IQ especially in shadow and at high IO. I ...

My E-M1.2 battery lasts for a little over 2.5 hours with the camera constantly on, no matter how many shutter activations.  One day trying different camera settings and a dot sight vs the EVF ...

EVF vs OVF makes no difference to me.  You simply learn to use the camera you have.  I do disagree with the statement "at the expense of autofocus tracking ability".  I have no problem ...

The E5 was a significant upgrade over my E510 (essentially the same sensor as the E3) at high ISO.  The E-M1.1(not cross type PDAF sensors) is equal to the E5 CAF for large targets which occupy a ...

All different sensor sizes have their advantages, but don't overstate them.  What FF has a two stop advantage over an APS camera from the same manufacturer?

The Azure Kingfisher is one of the most beautiful birds.  I would love the opporturnity to photograph them, but unfortunately probably will not happen.

If you want a zoom lens that is almost parfocal, get a Cine lens. Even then it may not be perfectly parfocal. Sigma statement "In general, a perfectly parfocal lens production is nearly impossible. ...

Olympus repair is done by one of two third parties.  Precision Camera in CT and US Imaging Systems in NJ.  I have had one repair by Precision Camera (before US Imaging Systems was used) and two by ...

I almost always use auto ISO with shutter preferred and use exposure compensation based on the background the specific bird.  Unfortunately there is no easy way to modify exposure as the bird ...

Hummingbirds tend to repeat the same feeding routine on a fairly regular schedule.  If you watch them for a while and note how much time elapses between feeding visits, you can fairly accurately ...

Your shutter speed is higher than necessary, unless you are trying to freeze the wings.  Always try to use the lowest ISO possible. The most important thing is focus.  Use a single point on the ...

The primary determinant of battery drain on the E-M1.2 is the same as the E-M1.1, the amount of time the camera is turned on. When I first decided to try the E-M1.2, comparing the EE-1 vs using the ...

It has little, if any, effect on battery life. It can cause problems with very fast wing movements (hummingbirds/bees) or leaning background objects with very fast panning. The maximum flash sync ...

I don't ware camouflage clothing, I just try to move slowly and quietly and use a long enough focal length that I won't disturb the wildlife.

That would depend on what you want to know.  If you wanted to know if a cropped image without TC was equal to an image with TC, then don't move the camera.  If you want to compare the same size ...

Very well done.  Your moths are a different color to the ones I typically get in NJ (USA).  We have planted honeysuckle and I have a small stand of dogbane (somewhat invasive) which serve as host ...

I prefer the first one.  If I wanted a little more "POP", I might have added a small amount of clarity in LR to the first image.  I would have shot it at f5.6 to reduce the ISO to 800 which would ...

Yes. One set with shutter preferred mode with Electronic shutter for BIFs/wildlife, a second essentially the same with Mechanical shutter both with Shutter preferred mode with a shutter speed ...

I would use Low Sequential at 6.5 fps in order to have Live View.  High Sequential view will be the last image review.
