Would you like to provide the images from a phone to compare with these sample images?

The shots from my E-M5ii and E-M1ii have never made me think a phone has better quality.

Let’s not compare...

I don’t regret getting a second E-M1ii.

And these specs show that it’s still the better option.
This camera is clearly aimed at those who can’t afford the E-M1 series or want the smaller camera.

This isn’t the 100 years anniversary camera.
It is a refresh of an older camera.

Every manufacturer does this, some more obvious than others.

Hard to tell on the dynamic range without RAW files or seeing the same scene shot with another camera.

None of the shots looked as if they lacked enough range to my eyes, albeit on a phone right now.

The body is only part of the picture, the lenses are much more important for size.

I gave up eating trolls a while ago JACS.

😂

The only way Olympus can do that is to develop a new sensor, camera, range of lenses, and compete with Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Leica, Sigma and obvious leave all current Olympus users with...

Also note that DPReview have not stated the Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7 lens is a f/3.4 equivalent... strange they mention the equivalent aperture on Olympus. Seems somewhat biased to me.

Not gonna...

J A C S: "MFT glass is designed specifically for MFT- It is itended to resolve the high pixel density of the format" - regardless of that, at f/13 the image is soft. The resolution is determined by...

J A C S:
At which point did I say it was a 400mm lens?

This statement does not reflect what is meant when people say f/6 is f/6.
@kevin wilkins: "f/6 is f/6" Problem: 200/6 is not 400/6.

The...

J A C S, as clearly pointed out more than once, f/6 is f/6.

Focal length divided by aperture opening.

Concerning diffraction or the benefits of different systems, I agree that each system has its...

J A C S, perhaps spend less time reading articles and more time using your camera.

The amount of diffraction you get per a given depth of field and angle of view is fairly similar.
Let’s take a...

J A C S, I fail to see how this is a f13 eq lens for diffraction purposes...

Diffraction is a resolution limiting factor, and if you are worried it’s to limiting them you aren’t looking what is...

Gino, have you used the 10MP four thirds?

The diffraction limit is closer to f11 than f8, let alone your claim.

It’s worth remembering that the pixel size of the D850 is almost the same as a 10MP...

Chris2210, of course mobile phones don’t fair well indoors without flash, however the current generation of phones is much better than 3 years ago, let alone 5.

Each system has a pro and con, 35mm...

I am not kidding myself, I did state it’s equivalent to 5.6 for depth of field.

However the lens is physically a 2.8, as the aperture opening is 1/2.8 of the focal length. Since the...

DeathArrow, please do feel free to compare the quality of a 40-150mm 2.8 to that of a 50-200mm f4-5.6 (or similar)

I can confidently say that I’d be shooting better images, with faster shutter...

Does the high shutter count of 400,000 not warrant extra cost?
It’s double the EM1 mk ii and a lot more than other £2k cameras.

Does the improved weather sealing not warrant extra cost?
It’s...

Also behind my reason for picking Olympus, prior to micro four thirds. And the reason I stuck with the system.

The E-500 was a very capable camera, my first DSLR and the system has always been...

I see the ‘lets compare aperture’ gang found my comment.

The f/2.8 provides the light intensity of a 2.8 but the depth of field of a f5.6 when compared to its equivalent 35mm lens. The lens is and...
