ArashM Posted Tuesday at 10:05 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:05 PM I find the timing for this article pretty funny, I was recently re-working a few files from my old E-m1x and was reminded of how much I liked the look and feel of them, Yes they are technically inferior to the current generation but there is something about them. So just picked up an OM system brand Olympus OM1 and 12-40 this past weekend..... waiting for them to arrive from Japan! Andrew - EOSHD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted yesterday at 07:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:02 AM I had one for a while and whilst I didn’t much care for the video compared with my full-frame Lumix at the time (S1H), I did like the stills files, but most of all, the form factor; the weight, ergos, build and sheer ‘rightness in the hand’ of the thing. Also the lenses, both the fast primes and the zooms. If I was ever going to do 4/3rds, it would be the OM-1 without having to think about it.

The E-M1X is... different. ArashM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfun Posted yesterday at 05:59 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:59 PM The original Olympus OM3 was one of the finest cameras I ever owned. Didn’t need a battery except for the meter (if I recall correctly). Even seeing “OM” brings back memories of long gone days… ironically given the debates about MFT, FF s16 etc, I sold it to get a Bronica MF. Anyway, sorry, totally irrelevant to the post.

fuzzynormal Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Oly cameras are charming. I have had plenty come and go. I don't like NOT having at least one. Currently own a EM10iii. The intangibles just make them "funner" to use. ArashM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EM1X seems like such an underrated beast. Does the image hold up well in 8 bit? I’m sure the IBIS performance is legendary. @Andrew - EOSHDdo you think the EM1X IBIS outdoes the Gh7? Or at least is comparable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew - EOSHD Posted 1 hour ago Administrators Share Posted 1 hour ago I don't have a GH7, but I remember it being better than the GH6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
