“Trying to sell those 50.000 cameras at twice the price would not have covered the loss. The price would have had to be tenfold, but we all know that would not work either. Somehow Olympus ...

I’m 73. I have an em1 mkii and all the lenses I need with the exception of a long tele. If there’s a fire sale I’ll pick up a mkiii and add the 100-400 oly if it comes out or panny if it doesn't, ...

I think the problem all along has been marketing. Olympus never seemed to make the case for the smaller lighter system, especially good for tele and macro with features that blow the big guys out...

Here we go again. A neverendum. I stopped listening to Nothrup and wife years ago. Same old tired story for years.

Depends on budget, but the Epson p800 is excellent. I picked up a lightly used one at a good price.

I’ve been printing 17x22 since the old 4/3 days, and I’d bet they are indistinguishable from any aspc cameras.  Prints are stunning, and unless you crop a lot with ISO =>3200 you won’t see noise ...

You all do know that the mk ii has HiRes mode with a tripod, just not Hand Held hi res.

My only reason to even consider upgrading is hand-held hi-res mode.  Not a cost effective purchase for me.  YMMV

I think they’re going after those of us who passed on the Pany because of mount issues, and lack of dual IS with Oly cams, and repair horror stories. I for one, will snap it up.

Current cost is USD79.99, but Topaz is always having sales. It works as a plugin AND standalone.

Glen I'm not defending. I'm actually very happy we can do it even better!

Topaz Denoise AI and Sharpen AI are magic. See this thread... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4482979

If I want to work on only a part pf the image I use AI Remask, either to isolate a subject against a blurred background in one pass, or to create a layer in Affinity.

Yes they did. And I for one don't blame them.  Version 2.1.6 was a free update for those who bought Denoise AI originally though. I am quite happy to pay for upgrades for a product that gives me ...

What I did was a quick and dirty. I have no doubt I could do better given more time. And the newest version is much faster than the original so multiple trials are more than possible. The point is ...

My abject apologies to Clarke!

When shooting birds I use shutter priority with auto ISO, maximum set to 5000. I find that birds move so quickly that a fast shutter is the best way, and I know I can rely on Denoise AI to clear ...

Cloning the twig was the ONLY other editing.  The 2 are otherwise directly comparable.

Before and after.  eM1ii, ISO 5000, underexposed. Processed in deNoise AI 2, using the AI clear function, max noise removal, max sharpening Isaac Asimov said that "Any sufficiently advanced ...

The EXIF data would say what shutter speed, aperture and ISO, all of which can affect detail.  Many program strip that data  when exporting to jpg..
