The slow (U)WW zooms for M43 are quite popular, so there seems to be a target group for those lenses. Especially on the wide end there is not a huge difference between f4 and f4.5, but this lens is...

Sensors have something in common with loudspeakers or combustion engines: size can only be replaced by even more size.
Agreed, it is impressive what smartphones can delivery nowadays, and I would...

"Tiny"?
APS-C sensors are wider, which makes them "larger". But if you only consider the part of an APS-C sensor that that covers the 4:3 aspect ratio, it is actually not that much larger than M43....

I understand your considerations. The market is flooded with 24-70 kit lenses, so they do not hold their value well., and it seems to be a shame to sell that lens for so little money. On the other ...

Many CFE cards - especially those with lower capacity - barely reach 200MB/s sustained write speed,

Seem like they guarantee that write speed will never fall below 400MB/s.

You need to compare prices with fast UHS-II SD cards - and suddenly CFE is not that expensive anymore ;)
They are not going to reach prices of cheapo SD cards anytime soon, because the technology...

It's simple: you don't need more than 70mm, go with the (cheaper and smaller) 24-70. You need a longer lens and don't care for above-average IQ (or have 200mm or VR higher on your priority list), ...

Generally speaking, IBIS is preferable for shorter focal lengths, and OIS ist preferable for longer focal lengths. A combination of both can be more effective than having only one or the other - ...

For me it's the lens I have been waiting for since I switched to a Nikon Z. And I know that many other Z shooters have been waiting for it for some years now as well. 24-70 f4 is too short to be an ...

Do whatever works for you. Just be aware that you are probably the only person in 2022 deliberately putting OS and apps on a HDD instead of a SSD. That just does not make sense on any computer...

Amazon Germany notified me yesterday, that they will ship my 24-120 next week (delivery on March 17). I preordered on Feb 17. They did have it on stock for a few days before I finally placed my ...

1 TB? That's what you typically store on SSD today. I don't think anyone still buys a HDD of such a small capacity.

I would say, that this highly depends on where you travel to and how you get around there. Image quality and aperture left aside, the 24-120 still excels in build quality. It will endure worse ...

We could obviously discuss equivalency when comparing M43 with FF, and that e.g. a Nikon Z 24-200 can hold up with the Oly 12-100 without adding size, weight and costs.

I guess I would rather use...

I can see that the 200-300mm equivalent range can be useful in some situations. But before I carry 12-45 + 40-150, I would rather consider to simply go with the 12-100.

Advertised rates are maximum burst rates that are achieved by the help of caching. With your test you are likely testing sustained rates (i.e. you write data amounts that exceed the size of the ...

While f4 is not as fast as f2.8, it is faster than the f6.3 of the 24-200 (from I believe around 70 oder 80mm on). So maybe f4 is not always fast enough for indoors shots, but it will give some ...

When I got my 14-30 during the winter promotion in 2020, the price was around 950 Euro, while the 14-24 had just been released at around 2.650 Euro - and I found no justification to spend so much ...

There is nothing cheap about Angelbird in general, they are certified for Nikon Z, and they specifically achieved some great benchmark results on Nikon Z bodies because unlike other cards they do...
