I think the e shutter x sync is faster on stacked sensor bodies (OM-1, A1, A9, Z9 ...) due to their faster readout speed - the same reason they show less 'rolling shutter' effects. But I don't ...

I think some Oly bodies [M1.2 and later, OM1]as have a flash with electronic shutter option - the electronic shutter x sync speed is quite a bit slower than the mechanical shutter x sync. On my ...

What are you currently using? Hardware? A 'laptop' could be anything from an entry level chromebook to a top of the line MacBook Pro or Alienware gaming system. What photo organizing or editing ...

My Olympus cameras can establish a WiFi hot spot, and v e r y slowly export photos to an app on my android phone or iPad. Once in the phone or iPad they end up in Google photos or Apple photos ...

I didn't recommend a flash - just pointed out that I could get reasonable results with antique equipment back in the early 1970s. What was a constant for all the photos was harsh direct lighting, ...

Can you use a flash? [can be annoying in some venues & occasions] Do you own a flash? Many years ago [thumb wound, TriX days] I took photos for the school yearbook with a Canon FTb, 50mm f/1.8 lens ...

I was on a Northern Lights tour near Tromso Norway this past November. Conditions were not ideal (Ship's shore excursion via bus; 8/10 cloud cover; intermittent drizzle or snow flurries; almost ...

Hybrid camera bodies suitable for your use cases are fairly common. Take a look at recently posted reviews for (1) Panasonic GH6 [and older GH series bodies, or the venerable G9]

Looks like the Panasonic G9 is currently available with 'kit' lens for about $1200 In addition to the Panasonic cameras mentioned on this thread, you may want to look at the Olympus EM10 series - ...

If you are adapting the camera body directly to the telescope, then you cannot control aperture settings from the camera body. You will also find image stabilization to not be useful on a telescope. ...

OIS lenses have the advantage of working on film SLR bodies ;-) Their disadvantage is that they can only correct on two axis IBIS will work for all lenses, and can do 5 axis corrections that OIS ...

You will likely find no useful mirrorless to mirrorless adapters - unlike SLR to mirrorless adapters that are plentiful.

I sometimes will take a phone photo so it provides a geotag when grouped with other photos taken a the same time/place. It is also trivial to share the phone photo - the OI Share program for ...

Looks like a reasonable starter lens - from moderate wide angle to a useful tele range zoom. I would keep & use the lens until you review some of your photos and see where something wider, longer ...

My choice of a 'second system' would be renting specialized equipment for an anticipated special need.

The zip file may be corrupted - MacOS default action on a zip file is to extract it using the 'archive utility' Try downloading it again.

I would recommend taking raw+jpeg pairs, then setting the software to treat the pairs as a single image [Workspace does this by default; most other non destructive editors also have that as either ...

A minor nit in terminology - the 'R' in SLR & DSLR stands for 'reflex' = having a mirror somewhere in the viewfinder path. Any current production camera [medium format, 'full frame', X mount, Micro ...

If you look - the four thirds and micr four thirds mounts are the same diameter and flanges [hens the problem with a poster looking for an OM to four thirds adapter and purchasing an OM to micro ...

And that adapter would be fine on any MICRO four thirds body - it is just not compatible with a four thirds SLR body [except possibly for extreme close ups, similar to bellows or extension tubes]. ...
