OM System is Destroying Olympus' Name
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Olympus was once a titan in the mirrorless camera industry. They were #1 in Japan for a long time. Tiny cameras that looked vintage and were weather sealed. Modern Olympus cameras like the EM1 III had the only phase detect autofocus for micro four thirds, class leading IBIS and electronic stabilization. Most natural color science rivaling Canon. Tiny cheap but sharp lenses. What happened to all that when OMDS OM System took over? We are seeing it play out with releases like the OM5 and TG7. Zero money going into developing new products.

The OM-5 is actually a great improvement over the EM5 III, it's got the same sensor, processor and video specs of an EM1 III but in a smaller, lighter body. Would’ve been a dream years ago!
The main problem is the lack of innovation, these are 2020 specs along with some very questionable decisions (USB 2.0, really?).
If only Panasonic could shrink down the G9 II just like OM System did with the EM1 III, we’d have the perfect camera. The search continues :)
By reading OM System's own website, the E-M5 III and the OM-5 appear to have the exact same dimensions and weight.
I think @mbnovantanove meant that the OM-5 is smaller and lighter than the EM1 III.
I sold my M2 and bought the new OM1 when it launched. I'm happy with it for pictures and video.
Milord, she didn't mean photography, her fever is high. Please show mercy, do not banish her
How on earth you manage to shoot this without crashing into a tree full of squirrels is beyond me😱
On the OM topic, I actually purchased the 40-150mm f4 Pro and love it. The "Four Toneh" line-up and small primes is what M43 is all about IMO.
The 8-25mm is actually a pretty unique lens due to the focal length. If you're into outdoors stuff, it's very useful. It's weather sealed, metal construction (mostly) and sharp. Dunked one into the sea a few weeks ago (together with an EM1) and it survived without an issue.
Agreed, it's a fun zoom range, worth choosing Olympus for. But f4 on m4/3...and Tamron (!) is now bringing a 17-50 to FF, just 10% heavier, probably cheaper...
My E-M1.3, the 8-25 and 40-150 f/4 Pro make for a bombproof kit in the backcountry, weighing about 1530g, vs the 2140 of my FF setup (R6, 14-35, 70-200). When shooting landscapes, I'm rarely looking for shallow DOF, so f/4 on MFT is not a problem; I'm usually stopping down to f/5.6-8 anyway. Some other manufacturers have lighter "dust and splash resistant" wide-angles (e.g. the new Sigma 10-18; Sony 10-20; 16-35 PZ) none have this exact comparable focal length range, and I often find myself needing a FL somewhere between 35 & 70 (FF equiv) for proper framing. The 40-150 f/4 is arguably the bigger draw to the system, as there are no sharp, weatherproof tele zooms for APS-C or FF that are close to the same weight. As soon as Sigma release a tiny, lightweight 50-140 to go along with their 10-18 and 18-50, I may be tempted over to a Sony A6700, but not before then. A Sony A7CII/R is also super tempting, but while the wide and standard zooms are a reasonable weight, the lightest sharp, weather-resistant tele zooms are twice the weight of the 40-150, albeit much brighter. And if I want to go *really* lightweight, while sacrificing a bit of image quality, weather resistance, and zoom range, the combo of my E-M5.2 plus 9-18 f/4-5.6 and 35-100 f/4-5.6 weighs only 800g altogether.
If you're comparing F8 equivalent lenses to F4 FF lenses, might as well just bring Nikon 1 or Pentax Q to weight comparison table.
@@trym2121 Are there any comparable reasonably lightweight, robustly-constructed, environmentally-sealed f/8 tele zooms available for any FF system? I like my RF 100-400 f/5.6-8, but even that's 65% heavier, much longer, not weather sealed, slightly less sharp, and its AF hunts more in low light.
@@trym2121 "F8" equivalent in terms of depth of field (which is an advantage for the kinds of photography these lenses are used for), and total light collected (which every MFT shooter is well aware of, they chose to buy into a crop sensor system).
But the *intensity of light* on the sensor is the same as any F4 lens, irrespective of the image circle that the lens is projecting, or the sensor that it's illuminating. And that's critically important for autofocus. Using an F8 lens would substantially degrade autofocus, and it would put the higher-res FF sensors into diffraction territory, losing some of that resolution advantage.
Equivalency is only useful for roughly comparing field-of-view and depth-of-field.
Far out! That was some pretty serious multi-tasking there, Kasey! It was terrifying watching you on the road reading your notes and talking straight to camera while cars were looming up behind you - shit, man, you actually made it look easy! But, take it easy, OK?
He is also not looking ahead into the parked cars to see if someone will suddenly open their door so that he slams into it and then falls away from the car and into the street where a loud FedEx van drives over this body.
@@tech-utuber2219 that happened to me once, I almost died 😂😂
My big problem with OM systems is they have done nothing to calm the fears of Olympus users to want to further buy into the OM system, camera and lenses, If they want us To keep buying camera and lenses and not migrating to other systems they need to earn our trust that they’re not gonna go away in the next two or three years that they’re here for the long-haul making new camera equipment and lenses.
Who actually worries if they are in business for years to come as I still have 2 old Olympus cameras Em5 and Epl5 they both still work flawlessly and I also own a couple of newer Lumix cameras and several Oly and Lumix lenses so even if my cameras ever stop working and can't be fixed We still have other MFT bodies from other manufacturers. And all of my MFT bodies shoot great stabilisation on photo and video. Also why would you not be afraid Sony will not go out of business because their lens mounts are proprietary but MFT mounts are shared by many. Also I still have 2 Samsung NV7 and they also work flawlessly and that company stopped producing cameras years ago. I also have Fuji, Canon and Pentax APSC cameras who also have proprietary lens mounts. The point is most People own more than one system already. Including our host who no matter how much he dogs a company he will always love his MFTs
OM System worries if I will be around in ten years' time.
I'm in a company that was bought out, and it took 5 to 6 years to get out of the rut of turnovers, layoffs, and integration phases. So, 1.5 years is not enough for them to get their dung together let along get you a newly designed camera release.
I am a snorkeler and scuba diver and the TG series is an EXCELLENT product for those situations. It is quite a small niche though I will admit.
I'm heavily invested in Olympus/ OM System gear and I agree with everything you said. I use the OM1 + 300mm f4 for wildlife and it's great for what it is however OM System has not released anything at all that wasn't already in the Olympus pipeline when they took over. The G9ii is my next camera because (and I never thought I'd see the day) Panasonic now has better video autofocus than OM System.
12:10 Totally agree. I'm also with you on their logo 'OM' but the 'System' part is so cringe
I want to see either just O.M. or 'Maitani' as logo
I searched for "funny idiots" and UA-cam showed me this....great recommendation....love your sense of humor
My dream camera OM-1X with 26 megapixel BSI stacked sensor with an all new image processor, and with larger dials and joystick more easily be able to operate with gloves on, and also with dual CF express type B cards for speedy operation.
This is Kasey's most terrifying video. I love it. I also love how ugly Toronto looks here.
For cameras with photography as the priority and video as a "we do that a little too," OMDS is doing fairly well. Kind of like Panasonic is with video. They emphasized how much the G9ii was designed for photography, yet the only thing reviewers seem to talk about are the video capabilities. I think Panasonic still might work to improve the photography side of things, but each time I ask about it, they say it already does great. My questions don't really get answers. Though perhaps they think I'm too niche in my interests? Of course, the features I'm looking for are similar to what OM-1 already has and what smartphones have had for years. The 5mp addition is a true improvement over the OM-1 that I can see. For sequential shooting, 60fps CAF vs 50fps CAF, with the latest tech that is pretty good. I hope the dual gain ISO improves dynamic range as well as it's stated, but we know in reality these claims are usually pretty high-reaching.
Everyone who's gotten a G9ii ahead of its release has great things to say about it. If they'd managed not to drag their feet on the photography side for 6 full years, I'd have probably ended up with it instead of an OM-1. Given the speed at which the M43 companies release new models, I'm not sure we can be expecting drastic new releases very often. Perhaps an OM-1 mark ii by 2024-25 if you really push it. Other model releases though, would be nice. You are right. I'm hopeful the company continues to pursue new technology and innovation. I suppose we have to hope, lest M43 slowly suffocate. Without OMDS as competition, Panasonic might make us wait 8 years for a new G9. Unless they just opt to jump completely into FF and give up on M43 entirely. That's what FF enthusiasts have been claiming was happening, again and again. I myself am optimistic. I see the new bodies and lenses being released and have hope for a brighter future. OMDS may be gaining their footing, retooling and doing lots of R&D as they prepare for upcoming releases. The transition to truly new models from what Olympus had in the pipeline is probably pretty intensive. Manufacturing is complicated, especially these days with supply chain issues and silicon production already called for by companies years ahead of time. You have to pre-reserve fab production capacity years in advance. I suppose we can only wait and see, ever hopeful the company comes out with something sooner rather than later.
As for 3D pop, the 40-150 f/2.8 pro is perhaps my favorite of Oly lenses. It's very sharp, but somehow has that separation that you like, Casey. I'm not sure if you've tried one before. If you didn't live in Canada, I'd lend you mine just to get your thoughts. Despite my spiel above, I do enjoy your videos. You always manage to make me smile, and somehow give me hope for the world of photography/videography in a world where the medium is quickly changing, or dying, depending on how you look at it. Let's just look at it as if it's changing to something ... in transition. That's it!
OM System is only selling to the shrinking m43 userbase. You said "For cameras with photography as the priority and video as a "we do that a little too," OMDS is doing fairly well. " As they do so little in video they are not getting new users. Sony said that 40% of their sales are to content creators or video users and Sony has 20% of marketshare after Canon. Peter Forsgard, a former Olympus/ OM System ambassador, moved to Fuji as he needed more video features for his business. Problem of OM System is that they are updating their cameras with image processors from other models, which has features that simply is now the bare minimal to catch attention. When the OM-5 was released Chris Nichols and Jordan Drake at DPreview reviewed the OM-5 and concluded that OM System did nothing to adress the shortcomings mentioned when the introduced the EM.5 mark III. Their conclusion is that if you are getting into a system look elsewere. They said at the end of their video that Fuji, Canon and Sony are offering better alternatives at the same pricesegment as OM-5. This is a harsh statement of Chris Nichols, which himself used or uses Olympus/ OM Systems camera.
i LOVE panasonic
"We finally improved AF with phase detect"
40 years in the desert.....
I'd love to have an OM-1 without having to pay for it. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with the Olympus cameras I already own.
"Safety first!", says the guy not wearing a helmet!😂 Olympus is aimed mostly at photographers, not videographers. The OM5 is a good photography camera.
The 8-25mm is my favorite m43 lens. Sooo versatile.
Kudos man , that was a brilliant production , and not just a little terrifying.
Creative, death defying, amazing studio quality audio - outside/in traffic/with wind - and oh so frickin' funny. Even non-photography/video tragics would enjoy this entertainment. Its so good, it may even inspire Robin to take up skatevlogging as a hobby.
Great greenscreen video Kasey. You really coordinated your movements in the studio with the background action. Masterful.
You're not looking into the parked cars ahead incase someone is about to pop their door open. OUCH!
"Safety first, a**hole!" he shouted, as he flew down Carlaw in his skateboard, while vlogging. 😄
Let's be real: We all are of the safety third variety. 😂 Well, until we're in a terrible accident and then maybe, just maybe, we join the safety second variety.
😂😂😂
... as he flew down Carlaw on his electric skateboard while vlogging AND READING! 😂
and no helmet 😂
@@YourguitarworkshopHelmet... pFF'! what are you, a photographer?
The little action cam is amazing, mines green which makesit easy to find in a drawer. It works great in salt water and has a choice of how wide the wide angle is. I still have.the original 2012 EM5 and it still works amazingly well and weather sealed. Thanks for keeping their name out there.
The OM1 is impressive, but was designed by Olympus. The OM5 is the EM1 Mark III with an updated processor. That new tough cam is still rocking a 12 MP sensor and looks mostly unchanged. In my opinion OM System hasn’t really done anything yet.
Some random observations:
- If you're going to zip around traffic like that, you should really wear a helmet. If you'd wiped out on that truck trailer, it would have been bad.
- That guy at 8:52 has the shortest shorts ever on a guy. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Even if OMDS ceases to exist tomorrow, I would still be satisfied with my current line up of camera and lenses from them.
OM-1 + 8-25mm f4, 90mm f3.5 macro, and 300mm f4.
All I will ever need from them.
Whoa, for me f4 is barely enough even on a Sony A7IV
I’ve got Olympus lenses from the 70s that are mostly f2. Even got an f2.8 180mm lens. They beautiful. Why f4 now? With smaller sensor too
I don't need brighter apertures on my M43 camera, I also have a FF setup.
My M43 gear have longer reach and greater depth of field, which are useful for birding and macro respectively.
@depends on what do you shoot. i use minimum f8 mostly on m43 (because I shoot macro )
I agree with Steve and others below that this video was terrifying (but compelling).
Event/Wedding shooting with an OM-1(or presumably G9 II) and, say, a PanaLeica 35-100 is amazingly relaxed and enjoyable compared to slugging a heavier system around. The greater depth of field for the same light level is also a benefit when moving quickly. The 1.2 olympus lenses handle any low light situation, including candlelit ceremonies, with aplomb and provide all the separation you would ever need. And the image quality is lovely.
I own too many cameras, including larger sensor systems and Fuji APSC, and I always choose M43 if I'm going to be running around for hours and I never regret it.
My nervous system was really feeling it, but since the video got uploaded I should have known it all came out OK
Your skate vlogging is perhaps the pinnacle of human existence. And a helmet would only mute the glory. Ride you beautiful Bastard ride!
Olympus should hire you to review their equipment! I am a long time user starting out in 1974 with the OM1 system with five different lenses. Graduated to the E1 with three lenses then to the OM-D EM5. And then autofocusing sucked so much with the old E1 lenses on the OMD . (unless I am missing something)
When you buy into a system, you first choose the lenses you want, then the camera but with Olympus that totally backfired on me. I spent a lot of money on 3 lenses that don’t work very well with the micro third OMD system.
Change my mind Olympus!!! Before I jump ship. I have also used Canon’s and Nikons at work but always preferred Olympus. But….
For your own safety, you need to pay attention to your surroundings instead of talking to us. There are so many distracted drivers out there and the odds of you getting hit are seriously high. At least put a helmet on.
If you paid attention to what he was doing it was quite obvious that he's paying attention to what's going on around him (see the various comments and head movements throughout the entire video).
I agree with you on the helmet part though. As someone who's had multiple head injuries I wish my ego wouldn't have prevented me (back in the day) from wearing a helmet. But, you know, people don't want no guvment tellin' them what to do. It's not like those helmets are tested and have scientific facts proving their safety or anything ... 😂😂
@@orangejjay Regardless, this was a stunt, I would rather he rant from his chair than on a busy street. He made it today but the next time he might not be so fortunate…
@@GhostRider_SR Exactly. I have no issue of him filming while boarding, but it should be a POV shot with the camera facing away from, not on, him. He should be paying attention to everything around him, not the camera. Living in a city, I have seen countless people get seriously injured from distracted drivers and people opening car doors without looking. We love CC and want him to stay alive.
@@RandumbTech I’m sensitive to this as a good friend of mine was hit by a car while cycling and spent 6 months recovering and he was paying attention. You also have to consider all the distracted drivers! Cheers
Seriously? Mind your own Karen
I recently shopped for a camera with a micro closeup lens feature, and it was down to a NEW OM System TG7 for $400 - or a USED Ricoh WG-5 for $115. I needed a micro closeup camera but in a compact, not a heavy SLR with macro, bellows attachment. I got the Ricoh, partly due to being a lifetime Pentax user. But the TG7 was rated higher in reviews.
Olympus died the minute they were sold. It’s sad, I was around and in photography when the original OM-1 came out and it was a game changer. I also had a few of their digital cameras up to their sale. 😞
We are so close to Pocket 3 right now, it’s hard to focus on other cameras. It looks perfect. There must be a catch.
No espresso function yet.
@@bradl2636skipping it then. No ☕, no 💸.
DJI will find a way to cripple themselves. Don't worry about it.
Pocket 2 is heat prone and drink battery like Sahara desert. If pocket 3 has sensor upgrade and doesn't have substantial bigger size, you'll know the same problem will occur
Olympus is dead. Just let go.
This is Kasey’s world, we’re all just driving in it.
Some of your best vlog footage came out of the EM1.3.. the 8mm fisheye night vlog especially, I haven't seen anything better to this day. You need to get back to night vlogging
So...uhmm... 2 things (3 maybe)
Your video vlogs with you skating are fucking righteous! It' adds a huge element of excitement - because I AM FEARING FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE BRO!~!
I just bought an Evolve GTR (used - i'm not Richie Rich) - and holy moses brother - seeing you skate with NO protective ghear - but its WORSE than that - You are literally wearing MINUS protective gear - SANDALS DUDE?!?! I personally KNOW the joy of having my bigtoenail RIPPED from the bed and lying on the sidewalk TWICE OVER (it wasn't joy by the way - that was sarcasm) The 1st time as a child - it was horrible - 2nd time as a drunk adult - THAT WAS WAY WORSE b'c it didn't some all the way off like it did when i was a kiddo - nope... just jerked out of the bed but still hangin on - So at the hospital - they used ion tmy big toe as a pincushion in an effort to turn it into an "anesthetic toe balloon" hoping i would then be able to withstand the sight of the "medical pliers" attempting to yank the rest of my toenail from my body - GUESS WHAT - AFTER 6 or 7 GOOD YANKS & a bunch of horrifying Cajoling - The doc looks up & says - well I'll just write you a script & you can wait until iit comes off on it's own - (He was CLEARLY ASHAMED he didn't do that in the 1st place_)
If you're NOT gonna wear a helmet and jeans man..... PLeASE AT LEAST WEAR SHOES!
i DON'W WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO WITH YOU ALL BANGED UP FROM NOT WEARING GEAR - and then not see you do this anymore - b/c it's a rad direction to go for your channel!
(End finger waving - pleading)
2nd thing - (I realy hope you had the patience to make it this far)
Get Evolve to send you one of their longboards - they're bigger & a little unwieldy when you are going to & from your pad - BUt MAN! On the road it's like a freaking MAGIC CARPET!!!
I'm serious - and wth the huge rubber tires WAY WAY MORE SAFE!!! (like WAY)
3rd - I fkn forgot godammit.
BUT - what's with the cricket fetish??
You have a cricket tattoo don't you?? The 1st tattoo I ever wanted was jiminy cricket whispering on my ear (you know - because he was pinocchio's conscience)
But..... it's way too late for that by now - if iu got a tat of jiminy, he'd have to be crumpled in a dejected posture giving me a dirty look & look haggard from tryna work with someone who never listened.
I'll go
IMO M4/3 needs to be, if it hasn’t already, be a loss leader. For Panasonic, it’s workable given they invested into FF and have now a closer partnership with Leica, there’s more headroom in FF as a platform and format. The revenues there can be used to “subsidise” m4/3, which can be a gateway (G9ii in S5II body says as much?) while also keeping certain brand equity alive (E.g. GH series).
Relative to Panasonic, OMS is in between a rock and a hard place. They have sell the m4/3 format, which on paper is losing any obvious advantage over FF that might have been there previously. There’s nothing to prop up the m4/3 line unlike what Panasonic has. As most feared, the new owners also don’t seem to be interested in running and innovating as a camera company. Think they will stick around for years to come but it’d surprising if they ever have a moment again like Olympus did with the EM5.
I love the OM-1, it's a game changer for bif. Not everyone needs video and great vlogging capabilities.
It does not give one much confidence in OM systems, to further spend more money on lenses and cameras,
OM system needs to earn back the trust of micro 4/3 users who spent the hard earned money on the camera system, they need to introduce Mark II to version of the OM-1 with an all new 24 or 26 megapixel that all new image processor that is these three times more powerful than the current image processor inside the current camera I would like to see larger, dials, and joystick on the next professional camera and new telephoto zoom lenses, they also need to take care of those who want smaller cameras, such as the Pen-F for the street photographer and those who shoot other genres of photography they want smaller more discrete camera for shooting pictures in the city and also just take along. Take pictures of family get together,
I think they should bring back the small pen type camera for those who want a camera in a small package at the same time not forgetting us who want a larger camera that is more appropriate for wildlife, photography and landscape photography, it worries, me that they have not even made some sort of announcement, saying there is new camera and lenses around the corner that we have not forgotten you,
And yes, I know there is no perfect camera, but it is time for OM systems to show us that they’re still in business making cutting edge, photography tools.
OM-5 is basically EM-1iii in an E-M5iii form factor. Would’ve bought it but already have the 1iii. I’ve gone in the opposite direction…film. Chasing ever increasing specs is just a way to spend money.
I have the EM-5iii so I was not tempted. Instead I got OM-1. Both the new and the old film one by now. Sometimes you just want less features and size plus more simplicity, but film is also a great way to spend more money these days. 😂 I dearly wish they would release a new Pen f or even better a new Pen mini (with the small wheel dial on the back and accessory port again, please)! And weatherproof it… But I fear this form factor has already fallen prey to the smartphones.
@@sourcebased I live in Canada and was definitely interested in the Pen E-P7. But they didn't bring it to North America. Still have a white Pen E-PM2. Nice little camera. I agree, and accessory port was great. Had the VF-4 to go with it. They no longer are selling new Pen cameras here in Canada. PL10 has been discontinued here. I agree with their direction to appeal to wildlife and nature (esp. macro) photographers, but they have to reclaim the size advantage. Congrats on the OM-1 purchases.
@@derekgpony Cool! I picked up an E-PM1 in white (beautiful!) and a black E-PM2 last year used from eBay, also paired them with VF-4. I love these little cameras and find myself sometimes using them more then the OM-1. Picked up two of them because then I still have one if the other one breaks. I also love my OM-1 but it is just a bit too big, obstrusive and complicated at times. Of course it is so much better IQ wise especially in low light, but the older cameras can produce good images too. VF-4 is simply great! Bigger view than with the E-m5. I am tempted to add an E-PL6 to my collection sooner or later, as it still had the port as well. Preferably in white!
While I hear you, they offer a lot in photography. The weather proofing, pro capture and smaller image size makes it a great camera for a lot of people. They also have lots of features that make it easy to shoot like bird tracking and many other special features you can’t find on other cameras. I agree with the OM-5… not really sure what is up with that but generally I always go back. I recently got a Fuji xt-30ii and while I like it for walking around, when we went on vacation I went back to my OM-1. No regrets. 🤷🏼♀️
Will be very curious what they do in the future as I still can’t tell if they are wrapping up stuff in the pipeline or just really poor decisions??!!
oh em FiRe needs to get their act together
The firm that owns OM Systems has done this before with other brands. They never had any intention of investing in the kind of R&D necessary to create new products. Just put out what’s already in the pipeline or make “new” versions of existing products that don’t require an investment. It’s over.
Pretty likely actually. To my understanding Olympus let go a huge part of the staff before they sold their camera division off to JiP. And they were probably not very keen on hiring them back
I'm just trying to figure out how JIP is a sushi company
0:47 Ahhh the ‘bodge’. Well done my boy, well done. 🤩🙌❤
It’s not because I’m a fanboy that I do not want to change camera systems, it’s because camera and lenses are so expensive. Having to jump ship is super expensive things to do especially when it’s only a hobby.
Who is Cameron and why is he so expensive?
Audio and video quality was really good here... that's a great setup.
Sandals, no socks, no helmet, warp speed. What could possibly go wrong. LOL
I bought PL9 under bankrupcy days
only to discover it was a PL8 EXACT COPY but at half price.
So I didn't mind
BUT
when PL10 came out, it was the EXACT PL8....3 models without an improvement!!!
Эй человек! Я переживаю за тебя. Почему ты не используешь велосипедный шлем? Ударишься затылком о дорогу и станешь овощем. Ты этого хочешь?
I think you have so much love for OM SYSTEM! ha
Part of the problem with photography today is that the market expects new product all the time. Look at Nikon and Canon moving to ML, now you need new cameras, lenses etc and then every 2 yrs new bodies that are still catching up with what was already build into the OM-1 and even the EM1m3 and EM1x. OM keep releasing firmware upgrades, Canon does very little and Sony? Nikon has done well with the Z9 with firmware updates. So why do you need a new 300 f4? or a new 12-40 f2.8? the G9ii has now caught up with the OM-1 after 2 yrs, now people want to jump ship to Panasonic, because the video might be better.. maybe it is time like in the early DSLR and Film days to take pictures and improve their skill using what technology offer that is in any case much better than what 99% of people would ever need. But as this channel also clearly show, my affiliate links when you buy new equipment, new stuff means new sales, mean more income for the channel..

By the way, the OM-1 is pretty good, I tried it, just too heavy for M43, which is why the OM-5 was such a letdown. The only real weight advantage of M43 system is that telephoto primes and zooms are so much lighter
I love Micro Four Thirds. But I always recommend Panasonic over OM.
the em1 mark ii is everything you need, except slow motion, it would be nice to have a video about the old em1 mark ii as of today 20223.
I'd really like to have small pocketable m43 camera for street photo, maybe even with fixed 20mm lens (40mm in ff) or something.
3:15 lmao that Nissan flipping you off. 😂
Looks like the a7s4 is on the slate to be announced soon ™ and the Dji pocket 3 is rumored for ACTUALLY have the fabled 1 inch sensor.. should be an interesting few months!
The audio got worse once you switched it to your chest 😂
Ive been in M43 and left and then came back. Now getting out again all these newer M43 bodies are FF size, Just going to keep my G100 for street and play with ZF for awhile.
You've gone all Casey Neistat with the skateboard vlog.
Risking death to talk about OM System; how apropo.
Love your videos 😂
Sushi production is all owned by the moonies. I wonder if this means olympus is now a moonie company.
I still have a soft spot for MFT, although I'd also struggle to explain why, actually. Probably the cute puppy syndrome. It could be so much more. e.g. where's the successor to the GM1/5? Where's the Bokeh AI engine?
For all the complaining about the OM-5, I'm convinced that if it had used USB-C vice USB 2.0, there would be almost no complaints. Besides the USB issue, it's a great camera. Yes more photo-centric than video.
The f/4 lenses are all weather-sealed with great optics, for outdoor / environmental. Not really meant for high background blur photos or video.
The 12mm f/2 and the Panasonic 9mm f/1.7 are probably much better video choices.
Yes, newer with more features may be better, but at the same time, companies like Sony deliver seemingly new cameras that are just crippled versions of previous tech. Nothing really ground-breaking in quite a long time.
I had the Em-5 III because of the size, af and stabe but ultimately had to sell it. It was pretty nice combo with the 9mm. I don't know if its just me but I found the 4k files hard to edit and the 1080p is pure garbage, combined with the lack of video features... I have to say though that the action 4 is looking really sweet, I am tempted to pounce.
1080 looks nice only in 60p. But that's when you're ok with not being able to shoot All Intra, and can tolerate the South American soap opera look. I can, and I deal with the motion-induced artifacts by limiting camera movement (static shot, reframe, another shot etc ). But for higher quality - either an external recorder or a Panasonic. But that's another set of compromises...
@@tomaszstramel3594 Yeah, I went back to Panasonic. Got a killer deal on S5, I do miss the m43 lenses though!
Going through the olympus Panasonic list of lenses the last couple of weeks, and what is really missing, is weathersealed small primes. Ideally pancake lenses to match their street photography killer cameras.
That's something I've noticed myself. What's up with that? Is it because the cameras aren't weather sealed also? Always seems so strange to me to spend $300-$800 on a lens (if I bought it new ... which I don't) and have it be plastic and not even dust proof. I still love my GH5 and don't see myself switching away from MFT anytime soon but seems like such a simple thing to include a rubber gasket on the lens mount or to charge a little more to give it some weather/dustproofing.
@@orangejjay No idea. I have just been playing with a tiny 10yr old em5 mk1 that is weathersealed (if you have the right lens).
Once they add 4k 120 ill be happy to upgrade my em1mk3
For 266g more you get a camera that is IP53 weather sealed, has class leading IBIS, and pro weather sealed lenses. Interesting all-in-one travel video lenses like the 14-150 f/4-5.6 II or the venerable 12-100 f/4 Pro. They just need to up their video game some more. Make some strategic partnerships. Continue to innovate computation photography features. They really need to add GPS and star tracking like Pentax has either in-body or GPS via a phone.
Damn dude, you are heading down the Northrup tunnel of shame. Do you ever point out the good when it comes to OM/Olympus? I had sold my gear and went sony. Missed my OM-1 and Olympus gear so I decided to shoot two systems. My A7IV is all ready to go in to the shop due to focus issues and the shutter door thingy mabob sticking. 3rd time out using it. Know how many times I sent my Olympus gear in over 18 years? Never. Zero. Not once. My OM-1 build is superior in every way to the Sony. The sony body just feels cheap. Love the results I get for portraits but other than that I use my OM-1. With the 1.5 software it seems they fixed everything I bitched about. As far as lenses the Olympus lenses may be heavier but again. Built better, and still smaller and cheaper then their equal in FF. I would never take my Sony out in the weather conditions I will take my OM-1.
Mft is for the birds... no really like literally
I just bought a olympus cough *sigma* cough 100-400 but maybe it's time to bail on the system. There's barely anything intresting coming out, it's just all heavier and larger gear meanwhile fullframe is shrinking.
I am/was an Olympus fan, but now, if it weren't for the new Panasonic releases, I would have abandoned the system. I have the OM-1, OM-5 and even the brand new TG-7, and although they are all great, I have not felt confident that OMDS will continue to develop their products, provide satisfactory FW Updates and innovative new products. So far, and with few exceptions, they seem to be reheating cold coffee! The OM-5, TG-7 and LS-P5 are NOT at all innovative and that's a shame!! I continue to have a ray of hope that at this moment they are still taking advantage of the stocks they inherited to make cash, but that at some point they will innovate again. But it's not what it seems! On the other hand, the new G9ii rekindles hopes for the MFT system. It looks like an excellent camera that raises the expectation of seeing a GX10, a new GM and even a GH7. It all depends on new sensors!! Particularly I would like to see, in addition to the Lumix described above, new OM Cameras, such as the OM-1X (24mp BSI stacked Sensor capable of 4K 120 and 5.7k 60 Open Gate), OM-3 (OM-5 in Metal Body and OM -1 Sensor and Menu) and Pen Fii. New Lens Roadmap would also help!
Kasey is the master of multitasking in this episode
They also released a 90mm f3.5 macro lens that was less sharp than its 60mm f2.8 predecessor.
That is one reason why I grabbed the 60mm from eBay after the release. Next is price, size and weight. And ultimately I just use it for scanning film negatives so far. 😂
Driving, filming and read notes ad the same time. You Will be hit by a ufo one day🛸
Ask the sushi boys for a new Pen-F.
I’ve been a lifelong Olympus user, not only do I hate the OM system branding in general (sounds ass, looks ass) but direction in the company is just non existent. Great work.
...leaving us with a glimmer of hope.
OM systems you want to sell more cameras and lenses earn our trust back ,then you’ll sell more cameras and lenses, what you’re doing now is not doing anything to earn the trust back of early adopters of micro 4/3 cameras and lenses.
What kind of skateboard are you on?

Your Euro haircut is amazing!
Hi if you had a thumbnail designer what benefits would you want from his service
btw and did you forgot somehow on OM System 20mm F1.4? :)
I mentioned it in the video...
@@cameraconspiracies ok, consider myself as a blind from now on... 🤣😂🤟
What are you driving bro? Onewheel?
I just reviewed the thing...
Honestly tho the om1 is effing awesome. Id he happy with an om2 that adds 4k 120 422 internal, better af, 24mp stacked and a bit faster than current read out
Any update on Pentax? How ya doing? 🏥🛏️
I got neither G9ii, nor GH6, waiting patiently for PEN -F2.
Started looking into Oly cause the supposed lightweightedness but it seems they're feeding excessive amount of sushi to their cameras and lenses. Also the price 😮
Flagship M43 is now in the budget FF price range. Meanwhile, the G9ii is literally in a FF body. I'm not sure if either company realizes what M43 was meant to be anymore. I had a G7 for years, and it was so small and light, with high-end features for the time. The G7 was the G9 of its time. So it seems the compactness and lightness with high-end features is possible, or at least it once was. Perhaps trying to make it the best of everything means you have to pack in more and more? When they made one model line for photography and another for video, it meant they could focus them more directly. Not that the GH line has ever been that small. I do wonder if Panasonic will release any smaller bodies once the G9ii has been out for a while.
what was worth it to me, you blew through a stop sign helmet less, didn't fall into any flat earth potholes and was not squashed by any vehicles. This means we will have glimmer in our hearts for another CC video.
So what did the dji guy say?
Excellent stabe on the DJI.
No helmet? You are a brave soul.
Olympus sushi 😂😂
Kasey, please shoot your action-cam footage in 60P as the horizontal stuttering while moving and panning is visually irritating.
Please don’t get ran over. What would we do without you 😢😂
The 150-400 has been great for catching birds and more dangerous wildlife without getting close. I agree, none of what they have is great for video, but hand holding birds in flight at 800mm equivalent? I've held the 800mm Canon. It's twice the weight and the same image quality. 🤷♂️ it's not for you, I get that, but you lack imagination if you can't think of a way that the 150-400 could be used...
Bro, I know you are a neighborhood Legend 😂. That Glimmerglass on an Action Camera 😅 8:34 that roll off.
Seriously, I use Glimmerglass on all my S5ii for Weddings… super dope image.
