Pros: Compactness-stabilization always at the top, in my opinion Olympus is leader-high resolution decidedly improved
Cons: Quality in extreme situations, high ISO still high seas, overpriced price.
Opinion: I can not express myself at best, but still proved today in a demonstration, it seemed excellent from an ergonomic point of view but it was also before, I left Olympus two years ago and already with the OMD EM1 Mark II The ergonomics was already at the top, so from the aesthetic point of view there It is little to admire, I would have expected a more appealing look, (clearly personal opinion). I was always a big fan of Olympus but from the shots made today I could ascertain that the high ISO quality remains a sore point, even if it is normal given the small size of the sensor, up to 1600 ISO quality is satisfactory and I emphasize satisfactory , then the file degrades and the quality drops almost irreparably, however the knead file is low dynamic range, since the product is aimed at an audience that makes the nature and sports photos the kind of primary importance, we are not, who works in These sectors know perfectly what it means to shoot when the light does not allow you and therefore you are obliged to raise the sensitivity. Certainly ten years ago, when Olympus made its debut with the WD EM5 there was a kind of revolution, I sold all my Canon material to move to Microquattroterzi, and I must say that all these years, then passing from the OMD EM5 Mark II to the OMD EM1 and Then at MARK II, I enjoyed a world, little weight and so much quality. Unfortunately it is when you use in extreme situations that Olympus must give way to the larger sensors, currently working with Canon, Sony, and Fuji, and I could no longer go back, the quality is excellent, and in extreme situations work quietly especially with Canon and Sony at 6400 ISO sometimes as in the case of Canon EOS 1DX MARK II I pulled up to 16,000 ISO photographing the Palio of Siena at 9.00 in the evening, thing impossible for Olympus, also if ten years ago one of the strengths was the practicality today was overtopped by Sony and From Fuji, cameras that are equivalent to weights, for example with Sony Alpha 9 + 100-400 We are around the 2 kg grip included, ditto with Fuji with XT3 and 100-400, but unlike we do not forget that the sensors are larger. In The last thing that I was most disappointed was the price, 3000 euros are an exaggerated amount, there you can ' buy almost a Sony Alpha 9 top camera in all respects and full frame, and anyway a Fuji XT3 that I consider a crazy camera in my Even more performanc for speed, for example in cropping mode you go from 26 to 16 mega but reaching 30 frames per second, and it costs about a third. That said I do not want to denigrate the qualities of this new product Olympus that I do not know in its entirety, surely will find in the already owners of the brand of safe buyers, but personally I was hoping for something really new and revolutionary that I It would have encouraged to return owner of one of the brands that I have always loved, so it was not, patience, Olympus remains a strong compromise with interesting qualities but also huge problems that today you can no longer afford because the market has changed a lot and Brands like Sony & Fuji make it and will be the master for many years to come. |
