Micro Four Thirds in 2022? | Olympus E-M10 II
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лип 2024
- Back when In 2018 when I was taking my first digital photography class in college, I made the decision to invest in my first entry level camera. Being a novice in the world of digital photography then I didn't really look into tech specs, I just chose one I thought looked the coolest. I've owned this Olympus micro four thirds cameras for just over 4 years now...but what do I think of it now that I've gained more experience in photography in since I first enrolled in that photo class?

Most every camera these days will provide very solid results. I was a Nikon guy for 40 years and went to MFT about ten years ago. I truly don’t think many can tell the difference in image quality unless you are shooting in very low light conditions. Love my EM1 MK III which always has the 150-400/4.5 Pro on it. I also carry a second camera at all times, which is the E-M10 MK II with the 12-100/f4 Pro. They both yield outstanding results.
My first SLR camera was an Olympus OM-10 purchased in the 80s, the film entry level camera from before the digital era. The OM-10 was a great little camera now I'm shooting an E-M5 Mk II, as well as other cameras.
Your film setup is beautiful. Loving the calm blue tones with the window in the background
Great video
It proves that gear is just a tool serving the eye of the Photographer.
I have been using M 4/3 including the E-m10 Mkii for some years now, and still loving it.
It’s not the camera, it’s the photographer. That being said, I love m4/3.
100% 👌🏼
I bought mine (the black version) in 2016, also almost didn't know anything about taking photos then either, except that I love the grittiness, the contrast and the colors Olympus produces (I set it up to my liking). And like you, I also go around with the camera strapped to my wrist using a DIY paracord bracelet.
Thanks for the video. Great pics!
Cheers from Indonesia!
Indonesia wow awesome! Thank you for watching!
Redondo Beach native and Olympus shooter here! I went through a couple different camera systems (Fujifilm, Nikon) before I landed on Olympus. I originally purchased an E-M5II just to try out because it was being sold for so cheap. Flash forward about 6 months later and it's the only kit I have. For street, the sensor size rarely is a factor, but the super quiet dampened shutter and small and light lenses and bodies are perfect. Keep at it man, great content!
Definitely think people get caught up in the bigger the lens and camera the better the pics but as far as form factor, quality and versatility, you can’t go wrong with micro 4/3 👍🏼 thanks for the positive comments!
Yes, a great camera, which I’ve just matched the 12-40mm f2.8 pro lens to and really enjoying the results. I started with the 25mm f1.8, just like you. 😎
Lovely images - thank you! I've had them all over the past 20 years from Panasonic 5mpx point and shoot to the Sony A7iii and G Master lenses and the Olympus OM-D em10ii is still my favorite walk around camera.
Very nice! I agree the E-M10 ii has still been very useful for me and it is a powerful little camera 📷
I have a EM1 Mark III and love it! It is a really compact and fun camera system, inspite of not so great low light performance. I just use fast len's to compensate. . Enjoy
Loved your video, I just bought an em10 mk IV. I also have an em1 mkiii. I love the small size with my 1.8 primes and I plan on buying more mft gear in the future. Olympus has amazing colours and really good awb.
Love the vibe in this whole video. I'm planning to get this as its being sold rather cheaply compared to the Fujis and Canons out there! Although MFT sensors are smaller and cheaper, they are still pretty good for pro results.
You can get great results with this little camera for sure, thanks for the comment!
I still find mine ticks all the right boxes . I have a number of primes and prefer the sigma 2.8 30mm, as that is my preferred perspective . I grew up with 55mm 1.8 Fuji lens . I also shot Nikon and Canon pro gear and 5x4 plus 6x6.
Now I am retired I want light gear and the Olympus ticks that box, as does the sigma lens.
If I need wide-angle then my phone has that covered .
I process all images from the camera on my phone in Snapseed and from saved images I print in photo books each year.
In reality you do not need more than 16 mp. I have also used old 6mp cameras to get good large prints. Since most of us don’t print for exhibitions and larger , it is academic as to whether you need that many mp at all.
Since there is no single perfect camera or lens , the camera you have with you the most often is also going to be the one you not only master the best , but you will know how exploit its weakness to make it work as a positive .
Whilst I also have a portrait lens for when I need one, for more or less everything else the 28 mm 1.8 and the 30 mm 2.8 deliver all I need .
Finally got an genuine thoughts on my favorite camera but still struggling using this soulful gadget.
I purchased my first OM-D camera when the E-M10 was first released back in 2014. It's still one of my favorite cameras even though I my gear has grown to include both the E-M5.3 and E-M1.3. Just a great take anywhere camera.
Appreciate you for watching! And yea totally agree my E-M10 is always in my bag ready to go 👍🏼
I love Olympus colors and agree it's a little flat. I like to tweak the Highlights -1/Shadows -2 to -5, and you can try contrast/saturation and even WB fine tuning can give you very film like settings out of camera
I miss my om10 I upgraded to the om1 mk2 a year ago and it is a wonderful camera BUT my em10 felt right in my hands and the image quality was great. I enjoyed using it so much.
I just started few months ago in photography with a E-M10 Mark III, I am useing a 25mm panasonic and a 40mm-150mm olympus lens, i just love it.
Great combo! I actually have the 40-150mm lens as well, great zoom for landscape shots!
Thanks for the video . The photos are very interesting. I
think you have a special style. I like it.
Greetings from Berlin.
Appreciate it!
thank u for the advice！
I enjoyed your video. I got started in photography I am guessing before your parents were born lol. I have an assortment of APSc, M43 and Full Frame cameras and lenses. However, my EDC camera is this EM10ii I got last year from a Pawn shop for about 300 with 2 lenses. I just love using it. Will check out some of your other videos as I have not seen any of your other ones before. Hope you enjoy and have a long and prosperous photography career.
Appreciate it!!
I just bought 6yrs old Olympus Pen F and i love it. I practically carry it everywhere. My very first camera was a Omd em-5..extremly beautiful camera. I sold that to get OMD EM1 but I like styling of OMD EM5 & EM10. Unfortunately Olympus no longer exists anymore. OM who bought out olympus with new OM-1 camera brings best of M4/3 so we will have to stick around some more to see.
I had a colleague who used the Pen F, really stylish looking camera 👍🏼 there’s something about the style of Olympus cameras that inspire you to get creative and they actually take amazing photos. And true we’ll have to wait and see. Thanks for watching!
Great camera and great lens: I have a lot of the Olympusand Panasonic primes and zooms but the 25mm 1.8 is the one that sees more time on my cameras
It's definitely a great lens, I actually used it to shoot portraits recently and the results were great in getting that shallow depth of field 👍🏼
This was my first "real" camera 3 years ago and now I have several mirror less and dslr's and lenses. The em10 mk2 is still my favorite by far, too easy and lots of "pro" features like hdr, timelapse, live bulb... love the long photowalk, new sub for me!
Making this video I honestly did not think it would get many clicks because of the E-M10 being a bit outdated, although it seems like many of you had or at least tried this camera and that's awesome! Thanks for the watch and the sub!
What’s with the quotes please? I’m a bit skeptical now…😣
@@danielclinton4059 by "real" I just mean interchangeable lens camera. What are you skeptical of?
It seems that Photography course paid off! I agree that the lens makes all the difference. The kit lens is nice for video, where the softness is actually welcome, but for stills you need sharpness and the Oly 25 delivers.
Definitely agree!
Even a 1,9mpx Photo looks good on digital photo frame! 16mpx photos look phanatastic, crystal crear, so profesional. MFT is great
I got myself a E-M10 Mk II a few weeks ago, it is a fun camera to use. Great images in a compact body~
Hello, greeting from Singapore. I'm a new friend here. I also really like the micro four third camera, because it is compact. And to this day I still use my 10 year old Olympus OMD EM5 Camera with M.Zuiko 70-300mm ii lens for photography as well as videography. And the footage from this camera still looks pretty good for my UA-cam content. Keep up your good work. Take more photo with your camera and you will enjoy it. Have a nice day.
Singapore wow! Thank you very much for watching, very nice to hear everyone is enjoying micro four thirds format.
Another fine example of a creative eye being more important than the gear. Great images! This is a fantastic camera paired with the 14-42mm pancake lens. Almost pocketable.
Good choice of lens, makes it a great camera to take anywhere.
I'm only hobbyist been into the hobby for 40 years, 35mm, MF & m4/3, landscape/street...I keep an M10 mk 2 and the Lumix Leica 25mm F1.4 keep that with me most days to just indulge the hobby. Cheap Leica Q2/3. The Lumix Leica 15mm F1.7 is a good lens too, more compact and closer to the Leica Q 28mm...
This was a satisfying video to watch with all the clicks and quick intro to Micro 4/3rds. I'm actually considering a second hand purchase as a novice of either the EM5 MK II, MK III or EM10 MK II, MK III, MKIV. Can't decide cause they seem to have similar build and features - with the except of the EM10 MK IV with 20 megapixels. I would like weather sealing just in case I'm in humid/wet conditions but also not sure since when you travel you can be met with anything.
How should I narrow this down?
look at what you need to get out of the camera primarily, if weather sealing is a huge concern for where you live and you feel like you really need it try to spend a bit for it, however the MK cameras are built very solid, I've taken my em10 II out in rain with just a plastic bag covering the body and it went fine. if you can get the MK IV at a decent price I think you wouldn't be disappointed. hope this helps!
I have a Sony A7R4 and about 4.5k in lenses. I often debate switching back to an MTF Lumix
Great photos dude, thank you for sharing.
appreciate it! thanks for watching!
I have been using the same Panasonic gx7 with 20mm f1.7 for 11 years. Still going. Still love it. I’ll throw an Olympus 12mm f2 or 45mm 1.8 on it once in a while. Occasionally a 45-150 to shot wildlife.
But 90% of the time the 20 pancake on the gx7 is perfect. It has documented my life and family…and then some; for over a decade.
Awesome, just goes to show you don’t always need the latest gear to have a reliable camera, thanks for watching and happy shooting! 📸
@@anthonyroblesphoto I disagree. Everyone needs a25,000 dollar Leica. Otherwise you’re not a” real “ photographer.
Joking!
Nice review had this camera loved it got the mkiii now and em1 mii
Good vid. I sub'd.
I have an original em-10, have gotten a lot of practice out of it. But I often wonder if it’s worth hanging onto or if I should jump on a mark ii or iii if given the chance
If you feel the need to upgrade I would say go for it but sometimes it's not worth giving up the camera body if you're only gona get little $ from it, better to hang on to it 👍🏼
My go to camera body but I have other Olympus bodies and maybe buy another body this year. Already pretty well have all the lenses I need or is that a want? Lol. Well...there is one more lens I'm looking at.
nice 👍
Sir please can you tell me the best lens for photograpy em10 ii
Исходя из ряда снимков и вашей внешней камеры, мне кажется вам стоит быть чуть активнее и смелее, начать улыбаться глазами заранее например, особенно когда вас заметили. Ну и приобрести пачку визиток на всякий случай. А иначе придется продолжать работу издали, допустим вместе с fz1000 либо при помощи 45-150мм
Hey,great video! How did u get this retro effect on the final photos? Did u get any lightroom presets,or they are coming like that straight from the camera? I wish to know because this is the exact effect I am looking for, and for this price of this small camera I think it's worth it! Regards
The final photos were edited on Lightroom with just some light exposure and contrast tweaks, the black and white photos were done with Lightroom's Black and White Low Contrast preset, other than that everything was straight out of camera, hope that helps!
I just a really good deal ( 150$) with kit lens on this very model and I was wondering if I should get it. It’s my first one. And the comments plus this video really got me excited. I’ll buy it tomorrow☺️☺️☺️
Hey Daniel! I would def say that’s a good deal if you can get it, it is a really proper camera and I think you’ll be satisfied with the kit lens for a while, the good thing is you can find lenses for this model camera at good prices if you wanna make the further investment , I’ve had this camera going on about a few years now and it’s still very useful to me and don’t see myself selling it 👍🏼
Bro, I just bought mine em10 mark iii 4 months ago. I'm a street photographer and it's really handy and perfect for my everyday commute. Btw, where did you get the lens hood? Thanks!
It really is such a handy camera and very portable! I got the lens hood off Amazon, it screws on the lens so unfortunately it wont work along with any screw on filters but it was only around $10 so I can't complain, works like I need it to. Here's the Link to it ! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R7GMDR4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@anthonyroblesphoto thanks!
I have a used 4/3rds LUMIX and ended up buying other micro 4/3rds. I now own 2 of YOUR model Olympus bodies and enjoy it - but not for video.
I have one and sad to say it's hardly had any use over the past couple of years, just sat there :(. Sad really, I just never got my head around the technicalities of photography and am too use to carrying around a phone instead. I want to start using it again now. I wonder how it compares to phone cameras of today such as iPhone 13/14 Pro Max? Image quality and zoom still better than phone cameras? It's such a cool looking camera and im sure very capable, I should try and learn it a bit more.
Totally understandable, we rely on our phones a lot these days and the cameras on them can sometimes work just as well. If you look more into my channel you’ll find a couple videos I have on iphone photography. As always the best camera for you is the one you know how to use well, for most people that’s their phone. I encourage you to occasionally use the Olympus though, it’s a great little camera once you get the hang of it 👍🏼
It was between this or the canon M50 . My school has it at their bookstore for like 800. Does it take good video?
If you're going for good video I gotta say go for the canon m50. As much as I praise this Olympus for good picture quality, it's definitely not for video. It does have video capabilities but they are so basic and the lack of autofocus is what would be a deal breaker. The canon m50 is more suited for vlogging and video. Hope that helps!
Which apertures use
I'd say f4 or f5.6 for most shots.
yes! if 5 years marks an important impact, I understand - it is a quarter of your life! Wait till it's less that a 10th of your life. and passes like water. if your plumbing isnt broke
Better lens makes a world of difference. Nobody should have to pay thousands of dollars for a brand new camera just so they can shoot in low light with a kit lens. 😄
100% ! Sometimes it's just better to invest in a quality lens than switching cameras entirely.
