Not in my experience. I often go out with my A1 and Om1 on Bif outings. (in fact was just heading out there door for same) The the OM1 consistently outperforms the A1 for Bif or static bird shots. ...

Here's a shot from my OM1 with the 150-400 from the Ho'okipa Lookout.  Like you I was just using c-af without tracking and selecting a small center box.  With that method I got quite a few shots I ...

If you set the steps to 100 and there is no change at shot number 12 from shot number 11, the camera will stop. You're just setting the maximum number of shots you want. You can also set it to a ...

Here's one I did this week of a queen anne flower.  I shot this handheld with the Sony 100-400gm.  It was very windy out so the auto align feature with expanded parameters in Helicon did a pretty ...

I've got the A7rV and have been using the focus stacking feature.  You have 2 settings to pick on the focus bracketing choice.  The 'step' which at the one it is wide as in for wide angle lenses ...

Good one :)

OM1 - 150-400 - today on my Celery Bog lunch walk

Fun and hard to find little screech owl in Brookgreen gardens a couple of days ago.  OM1 with 150-400

That was shot with normal overhead lighting on the dining room table. I did just get the STF-8 Macro flash and have just started playing with it.  I was going to redo the penny shot and perhaps do ...

Back in the fall of 1971 I took my Pen F and removed the 38mm f1.8 lens and stuck it on the end of a paper towel tube with the other end into the Pen F and took a picture of the statue of Lincoln ...

This little fellow was burried way in the underbrush.  The camera threw the box on the bird anyway so I zoomed in and got some shots! 1st one is ISO 2500, while the next two are ISO 3200.  OM1, ...

The PEN F from 2016 has a plain CMOS sensor - not even BSI. The OM1 has a Stacked BSI sensor and thus in just about every way a completely differernt animal other than having the same resolution. I ...

Should be fun! Bug shots at a distance with cooporative IS between the body and the lens and the in camera focus stacking will continue the fun the 60mm gives. I was really hoping to get this...

Yes - it works very well hand held.  The hummingbird is in the blue guest bedroom framed and printed at 16x20 along with 4 other pictures my wife had me print for that room :) (another humming ...

Not for this shot.  But since my 9 month wait to get the thing ended a number of months ago, it does go out for nearly daily hikes which have been the full range of weather. What's so crazy about ...

Yes, XD-Prime is pretty amazing.  Here's the non-xd-prime processed shot.  I prefer XD-Prime to Topaz.  Topaz has some odd color shifting at very high ISO and some odd patterns. Here's the RAW orf ...

I also didn't think it used to go that high.  I'm assuming it was a firmware upgrade.  But I'm not sure.  I thought on the Em1x it was capped at 1600 and on the Om1 3200.  I don't know if it has a ...

In that extreme cold we had a few days ago, there was the cute little red finch out by our feeders all puffed up with just a tad of snow flying around.  I snagged this shot from our warm house ...

I was comparing my A1 vs my OM1 with a -2.5 EV shooting environment (at ISO 100 equivilant). My settings on the OM1 were ISO 12800, 45mm f1.2 pro at f1.2, 1/15 sec in Hand Held Hi-Rez mode.  On the ...
