What else is there left for users of this forum to criticise about the format? The usp of m4/3 is meant to be its small size. What would you prefer them to do... ignore that completely?

That link just goes to lots of photos. What has that got to do with m43 or FF? ;-)

YOU are paying full retail price for the phone... and extra too.
Generally cheaper to buy outright and go on a sim only plan than to enter into one of the usual 24 month contracts.

The OP indicated they were looking for something for birds and wildlife. I think the 75-300 would be a far better choice for that specific usage. The 45-175 is certainly in the spirit of small and ...

Yes. It works very well on my EM1 Mkii. You can use the lens stabilisation or the camera sensor stabilisation. The 75-300 is still a very good option if price is a concern.

I have used the 75-300 for several years. Generally it is a very competent little lens. Up to around 250mm you will have no concerns with image quality. 300mm is also perfectly acceptable, but ...

The firmware releases did not address many of the improvements listed in that article, particularly relating to AF.

0 should be fine on a fast focussing lens like the 40-150. The different settings seem primarily to alter the time period before it starts detecting movement or a change in focus distance. Once it ...

I would use IS priority. I believe this centres the sensor immediately before shots and gives lower risk of IS errors due to the sensor reaching its maximum extent of mivement.

Only for the initial shot in a burst.

“I’m over here!... In the Olympus booth!”

If we look at Nikon as an example, their largest sales volume in interchangeable lens cameras is for the small, consumer grade APSC cameras, not Full Frame monsters. Why on earth would Olympus feel ...

“Over here!... I’ve found a post about m43 in this bag of FF rubbish”

A while ago, Olympus confirmed to dpreview that they were working on a number of updates for the EM1 mkii.... https://www.dpreview.com/articles/2574196907/exclusive-interview-olympus-r-d-on-continu ...

eat a loss? When I moved from Nikon dSLRs to m43 I had enough left over to take my family on a nice holiday! And that was moving from a 12mp Nikon (d3s) to a 16mp Olympus EM1. Both had similar ...

Took my daughter to the zoo today (a pitiful excuse to try the 100-400). Didn't really get too much opportunity to fully concentrate on photography, but enough chance to try the lens at my most ...

The test results I’m getting are quite useful for my copy of this lens. For a subject central in the frame I am slightly better off shooting at 400mm for absolute resolution at the centre. However ...

With comments like this I’m not convinced you are best placed to advise about friends! Some nicely timed shots here. You could probably have increased shutter speed and ISO a bit to reduce some ...
