Pros: Portability & features

Cons: None so far

Opinion: Have been working with this gem for some months now. Been working with MFT since 2013 besides my Nikon gear and have seen a steady but impressive development of this formula. For me the OM-1 (and its lenses) is all about portability while being able to produce high quality output that can compete with camera's with a larger sensor. In my opinion OM-Systems succeeded to produce a camera that does just that. There is so much to tell about this camera. To sum this review up: Fast AF, doing great on high ISO, customization and creating presets works well. Button layout. Battery life. I can go on and on.

Pros: Performance, ridiculous price for what it offers, image quality

Cons: Dynamic range a bit limited, continuous autofocus still a little behind the FF flagships. Criminal devaluation of second-hand vehicles, often by dealers, even official ones

Opinion:

Pros: Tropicalized system. Very high-performance quality lenses. Excellent portability. Files with good dynamic range. I can easily print 200 cm x 120 cm For me it is a really complete and reliable system

Cons: It suffers from noise above 6400 iso buffer a bit slow when I use pro capture, the moving focus lock system sometimes comes off but it is a problem that is relatively important for the photos I normally take

Opinion: It's a great system, at the moment I own 9 Pro lenses, an OM1 and a 1X, I have two dedicated flashes, GODOX V1 The new 2X 90 mm macro lens is something spectacular, I really do everything without problems and I think with excellent results since at the moment I have photos that reach 6000 likes (Venetian New Year's Eve fireworks). The only big limitation is me who has not yet learned to exploit its potential well!

Pros: The advantage of being able to have a lot of depth of field while shooting with fast times, excellent stabilization, well-built camera body

Cons: Good viewfinder but in my opinion not as good as that of the XH2S (of which, however, unlike the latter, it does not have the typical factory defect of fuji of inconstant af with wide-angle lenses and closed apertures)

Opinion: Driven by the bitter disappointment with the fujifilm brand (I refer to my review of the xh2s and to a brief search on the web where many people complain about the serious defects on the af s) and by the forum of the great Andrea Bernesco, I bought the micro 4 3. I don't regret anything, neither the 45 ff and passes mpx nor apsc, nothing. This is indeed an "intelligent system". With the same exposure triad, I have a greater depth of field that allows me to better tell the story of my small journeys. Let me start by saying that I am not a lover of blur, I have owned fast lenses but either because of the weight or because in the end I always tended to close, I realized at my expense that they were not for me. Here I finally have a light camera body, smaller lenses, the buttons are all in the right place and the ergonomics are also excellent. It's just a shame that the viewfinder, although good, is not at the levels of other top of the range but that's okay come on. Another thing that I like less is that in af s if I move the af box it doesn't use all the points but it makes a bit big jumps, anyway you get used to it. The jpeg colors seem beautiful to me, different from fujifilm films but still appreciable. A negative note really is the shoulder strap supplied, it saws off the neck like crazy, as soon as I feel like it I will certainly change it .. Personally, I did not find it difficult to use the rear wheel, which many say is too recessed.

Pros: Solidity, lightness and dimensions even with bg, pro capture with non-jpeg raw files like the other top of the range, price.

Cons: High ISO sealing, so-so tracking

Opinion: Necessary premise: I am absolutely convinced that there is no perfect camera or a perfect lens in the world but that there are different combinations that turn out to be perfect in different situations and OM1 combined with a pro series lens falls into these cases. If you know that the high ISO performance in low light is rather dismal and you know that the depth of field with the m 4/3 system is what it is, adjust accordingly. That said, OM1 remains my first choice (I own Z8) in wildlife photography for the very simple fact that it sizes, lightness, pro capture that makes raw files (The Z8, Jpeg), stabilization and color rendition, etc.. they allow "that AGILITY" and those results that other systems, perhaps more emblazoned, perhaps more fashionable, etc.. Due to their size and weight, they limit the work to be done, making the result more difficult to achieve. OM1-BG-mc20-40/150 2.8 (FF 160-600 5.6) weighs 2160 gr and has a total length of 30 cm. You carry it around all day and you could say absurdly that you put it in your pocket when you're done. My basic settings are to lock the iso limit to 800 and shoot at custom white balance aperture priority. When shooting raw, the photo mode is of little use, but it's basically natural. In post I clean with dxo and then finish in photoshop. I don't bother with the m 4/3 system as others do because I'm not interested in analyzing the details or all those aspects that in the end are completely irrelevant and that only serve to cheer for one or the other, so I just say that if you are aware of what you have in your hand and you know it well, you bring home the results.
