I like the new hosts... way less sex appeal than Jimmy, making it easier to pay attention to the photography aspect.
Made my day xD
Don`t ever bring Saori and Zoha together again, Jimmy. I mean it, I just don`t know where to look. Can`t focus, I feel like a broken lens.
The thorn between two roses. 😉
You mean the hot gas that comes out in between two cheeks 😂
Oh my ...what a fun video! And the ladies .... icing on the cake!!
Thank you!
my Olympus E-M1 MKIII is arring next week im pretty stoked. what a great team you are, awesome video.
Wonderful and fun video. Loved the images. Zoha and Saori are wonderful together (Jimmy is great, too).
I came for the camera info but really enjoyed the fun personalities of you three :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Face & Eye AF improvements are amazing. The new hosts are amazing, nice change ;)
Zoha ready to take over the channel 😉!
I am going to take a long look at this system, as I am currently all Canon, but I Like what I an hearing about the M1
Michael Didomenico I switched from Canon to Olympus too my friend :)
@@Red35Photography I have a Fuji but have been looking at Olympus for a while now. Is there away to achieve a 3D look like medium format offers? Also I notice its the same megapixel count, How is it for large fine prints with micro 4/3?
@@DJAnamaly yes on gear menu 1 sub menu 12 there is a "Medium Format Look" option. Set that to Yes and you are good to go.
DJ Anamaly, look into the “Brenizer Method” of merging multiple photos to simulate a wider ultra shallow depth of field. ua-cam.com/video/VqpJDXZ8Zgc/v-deo.html
In comparison with the old way (my first film SLR had only 1 focus point) this auto tracking seems really good. I'm still used to having composition limited by focus or having to focus-recompose-shoot which is less accurate with shallow depth of field
Glad to see your videos again!
I want one! But I still Love my Pen F.
The Pen F is just so much fun! I have the EM1ii as well, and it's great, but it doesn't have the same fun factor.
Saory is lovely:)
Thanks girls for this video!! Ok, the guy was also OK!! LOL
Another very nice episode, thanks a lot for reviewing that funny way joined with Zoha and Saori :)
Looks like the new E-M1 MkIII will be an improvement over the E-M1 MkII when it comes to Face and Eye Detection. Great video.
I think Zoha would be a great photographer...especially with Jimmy coaching!
Impressive camera!!! The face/eye tracking in video is excellent.
Fun video! Thanks to all four (4) of you!
Cheers Ray! It's always fun with them girls :)
Wonderful video. Love having the ladies. Make the video a lot more fun to watch. Jimmy's your photos are great!
Great work as usual, JImmy! It's great to see you really enjoy UA-cam and photography.
Colour is fantastic
I skipped the E-M1X due to the weight and size. This new Mk3 must be my target no matter what. Especially it is introduced by the two beautiful ladies (instead of Jimmy 😍😍🤣)
😂😂😂 don’t be so mean mate! Well they are doing really great!
Red35 Photography Gus may have been a trifle harsh, but the interaction with you Zoha and Saori was fun.
Great review jimmy and girls. I love the street your in took a photo of number eleven and a half. Needed the girls to complete it.
The only thing about my EM1.2 I don’t like is the poor eye AF. Everything else is fantastic and fortunately I don’t shoot many people so all is good really.
Zoha, is so in focus 😍
Well that was really interesting comparison and very helpful to me. I've been asked a lot if I'll be switching up from the Mk2. I now have some really good points to explain why I won't be, plus i can sound like I know what I'm talking about! Great stuff. 😊👍
Looking forward to Zoha's new channel already
Very very fun with this new camera !
Olympus cameras have interesting and original ideas of their own.
Seriously considering getting another em1 mark ii and pairing it up with an Atomos Ninja V to improve the native evf .
Nice with Ninja V!
great video as always . . . I have a mk2 but after research I think I shall upgrade to the mk3
I enjoyed the interaction of you three. Thanks for the review. Wondering if the C-AF on the mk3 will work better than the C-AF on the mk2 for sports/action shooting?
Hello,did Em1 MKii get same autofocus and tracking features as Mkiii through firmware update? Thought I saw that somewhere...
Love the intro! 😂 Thanks for your creative reviews.
Great video Jimmy.
Cheers mate
We need to petition Olympus to make a Pen F mk.ii
I suck at photography in more video but the info from a master helps me improve!
Thanks matey. You are always welcome!
Wow! Didn't expect to see both Zoha and Saori in the same Red35 video. It's too bad they don't have any sort of trade-in programs here where I'm from, otherwise I'd have pre-ordered the Mk III.
Let Jimmy talk I enjoy what he has to say and but the others can talk also.
Great info and photos, Jimmy 👍
Hey Red!
Which one is better for youtube video usage ? Mark II or Mark III ? Is there any difference worth the money?
Mark III, if you use CAF a lot. In my case, I do for many reasons, gimbal and self-filming
7:15 Awesome shot ! :o
beautiful episode and excellent review Jimmy.!!
and which lens did you use for 03:47 .?
I heard they are stopping production of cameras. Now I don't know if it's good or bad for already existing models...Just giving a heads up🙂
Really enjoyed the video Jimmy. I’m really pleased with the new features especially the better eye af being primarily a portrait shooter.
Cheers Charlie! Yes, the new eye AF and improved face tracking is just great for both stills and video!
Can you give some tips, i am starting to take portrait pictures. What mode to use and shutterspeed, iso?
Hey mate, thanks for dropping by. At present, it sounds like you need to learn the relationships of exposure triangle. This is the fundamentals of all photography. Then learn about depth of field. Mode is irrelevant because it only matters when it comes to speed of shooting. I am not trying not to tell yo anything but there's a whole load of things to say and teach than just write things down in a paragraph. You must understand what aperture, shutter speed and iso do and the relationships between them.
@@Red35Photography If you want to see photos taken by me. Check my Instagram @teemu_mikael and leave a comment. I know what changing shutterspeed, iso, f stop means and what A,M,P, S means. I like your photography style and thats why i asked some pointer. Currently i am getting hang of new EM 1 mk2 and all the quirks. Thaks for responding to my comment.
Wonderful review and content as always!
Amazing video
Thank you for the comparison. I'm still hoping to see how you edit your photos. Hope to see that soon.
NewRich Pictures yes you will. Please be patient, I have tons of videos I promised to do lol. So I am working through my list at the moment.
Would face tracking help with birds and wildlife I wonder? If not then is there any advantage the Mk. III has over the Mk II for wildlife photography? Love Zoha and Saori, they are a kick and beautiful as well. Zoha is going to have her own channel soon, no doubt.
Nice report and great assistance,. You give a review based on Pro use, and granted its a pro camera. How about the use as a general purpose camera, is it really worth the upgrade.
Hi,
Thanks for the video. I understand AF from EM1 Mark III has a better performance on eye detection from Mark II, right? I have the EM5 Mark II and was looking to upgrade either the EM5 Mark III or EM1 Mark III. EM5 Mark III, in theory, inherits the EM1 Mark II AF system. Does it mean the EM5 Mark III AF sits behind the EM1 Mark III?
Thanks mate for watching. Yes you are right, In terms of AF, the current BEST is EM1X (for sports and A.I. subject tracking) and EM1 Mark III for portrait and faces. These applies to both video and stills.
Very interesting video. I am torn between EM-1 Mark II and EM-5 Mark III. I have used EM-10 Mark II for 3 years and its a great camera and I love it, but it doesn't have a fully articulating screen and the AF, especially the face detect is not good at all. So...What say you?
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Hi Wahab, I use both the 1 Mk 2 and the 5 Mk 3. Functionally they are quite similar and take equally good photos. The differences are that the 1 Mk2 is larger and heavier but has the best grip that I’ve found on any camera. It is also “faster” than the 5 Mk3 and sometimes I find myself taking two or three photos with it at once when I intended to take one. This never happens with the 5 Mk3. The main problem I find with the 1 Mk2 is that the viewfinder is essentially unusable with polarised sunglasses in landscape mode (it’s fine in portrait). This isn’t a problem with the 5 Mk3. Both are a definite step up in functionality (pro-capture; better stabilisations; more direct access to things like ISO, shooting modes, subject tracking and focus on moving objects and both are weather sealed too), and to an extent picture quality, compared with the 10 Mk2 (I have one as well as still love it). It depends which one you like the feel of most.
Brilliant as usual
We definitely donnot want to see Jimmy talking, untill the EM1mk4 released.
You are so mean Ricky!
Very nice video.
But allow me please an annotation. Not all people are enthusiastic about the Mark III. In the forums many said, that they are very dissapointed that the Mark III has no new sensor, no new EVF and screen.
Personally I am very happy about these things:
- better face- and eye detection
- handheld high res mode
- ND filters inside (sadly not for filming)
- joystick
- auto iso in manuell mode for filming (hope so)
I love my Mark II. But these news are good reasons for me to upgrade. But not now. I will wait a few months and hope that the price will fall a bit.
Yeah, people are more drawn to specs than the actually usability and features. That’s unfortunate but it’s real that most think that way.
@@Red35Photography Yes I agree in every sense!
Zoha should start a channel, she has star!
nice one Jimmy
Good info, you made a comment about future firmware updates for the new OM-1 Mark III
Will that continue to happen with the OMD-1 Mark II as well??
LOVE it!
So is the face and eye detect better than the em1x?? I am thinking about buying the em1x but would buy this instead if it has better face detection. Please let me know! Great video!
Really enjoyed This episodr
Hello, I have two questions to 1 Mark III:
1) Does it really have doble exposure integrated?
2) Does it have f u l l automtic modus ?
Thank you for answerring.
was it a coincidence that the girls' outfit colours blended so well with those doorways?
Bassbarbie yes and no, we walked pass the street and I noticed these doors that match their colours :) so it was unplanned but only through observation :) this is part of being me improvising
Thanks for the video.. To my eye some of the images look a bit 'soft' or even blurred?? (eg 12:30, 12:32; 13:36) Is this the effect you are going for or is it my screen resolution? Or is this a deliberate 'effect' to protect your copyright or reduce resolution and file size for easier upload to youtube? reasons. Doesn't seem like a crisp edge on many of these shots? What do others think? (btw I am also an Olympus Fan. I just hope they keep improving image quality and sharpness)
Would you kindly tell me what equipment this video was shot with?
Loved it!
Hey Jimmy, love the collaboration :)
Being a Panasonic owner, I do like the video AF on the Olympus. Is there any other Olympus cameras which has this eye AF (phase detect) capability? Also I hear you're at the Photography show this year in Birmingham!
I have a Fuji but have been looking at Olympus for a while now. Is there away to achieve a 3D look like medium format offers? Also I notice its the same megapixel count, How is it for large fine prints with micro 4/3?
What is that lens on mark iii??? And one more, what is your opinion about the 12-40 f2.8 pro lens for portraits? Thx
My older E-M1 had a good Face-Tracking, but the E-M1 II and also the E-M5 III lost this Feature. NOW the E-M1 III is back with Face and eye-Tracking. Thats good, but Good enough When compare with my G9 with FW 2.0?
ASK the Husband of Gabriele...
Nobody cares about your g9 and it's shitty AF man...
How did you get so lucky to have 2 beautiful ladies.
Finally eye-af in par with others
Ignatius s Wonder how it stacks up against the Sony? I have not used Sony, but many comments speak highly of the eye AF of Sony compared to other brands. The Oly mk3 looked pretty darned good here.
@@douglasolsen1208 agreed, as far i see in this or other video review the eye-af so much improve compare em1mk2 which i use.
Ignnatius, I use the Mk2, also, and really like it. The Mk3 is really tempting!
One question. Is there a possibility in facedetection mode between faces without using the screen? I often take fotos in the theatre.
Yes you can. I did that in my camera and you can customise one Fn button to activate face selection, then you use use the front shell to scroll through and select fathers face you want to lock the focus on
I guess I could buy a very high end ND filter set for the difference in price.
Jimmy, btw, when are you going to be able to get out in warmer weather so you and the girls don't freeze to death?
Where are you shooting from and what season are you in now? Thanks.
LOL, well, London is still winter mate. We then to have a cold Feb or even April before weather starts to warm up.
Whats lens with em1 mark 3?
Red35! Even if you presented fridges, I' d follow you 'cause you are always surrounded by such pretty girls😋
😂😂😂😅
What lens u use during photo shot?
Saori, kawaiiiii
📸🎬🎥
Hi Jimmy... I absolutely adore the picture @2:04 taken just outside the Liverpool street station. Fantastic rendering.. was that taken with 25/1.2?
Good eye! yes it's from 25mm 1.2
@@Red35Photography sorry one more ... and at 14:21, is that 17/1.2? Only asking because I am deciding between 17 and 25. I normally prefer wider than 50mm equivalent.
Mahesh G you that right too!
He creeped her out at 9:53 lol
So, I was watching Spiderman, Far from Home and I could have sworn I saw Zoha in it. Am I just imagining her, or is she actually part of the MCU?
She’s part of it :) you are right
What is the camera and lens of this video?
Olympus EM-1 Mark II and 12-40mm f2.8 Pro
@@Red35Photography Thank you.
The E-M1 mark II are "the camera". 4 years to have this update are not enough. 4 years of works ? It's good to have some news cool things but in my point of view Olympus can give these updates with firmare but it's ok with the competition they need a new product to sell. I realy like my Olympus to photo and video use. For portrait and video with pro lens I never miss the focus.
In ua-cam.com/video/JrRHIfTAoTg/v-deo.html @ 02:00 you stated "My Mark II is almost dying. Because I used it so much it's basically...I wouldn't put 100% my confidence in it any more." In this video @ 14:10 you say ""[About the Mark II] after 4 years it's still performing as it should. Like brand new." OK so which is it?
Do you also photograph handsome men??
oh yes haha I have a few videos, though, I must admit, I have more ladies than men
Zoha Zo Cute :)
Here is a new question that I bet no one has asked yet.....
Will the new Olympus EM1 MKIII be able to focus on faces that are wearing masks and goggles? Or would I be better off getting the EM1 MK II saving hundreds of dollars and forget about photographing people because they all now look the same....the new abnormal.
Gee.....we really do communicate first and foremost with our faces!
Less girls interrupting
First, finally.
E M5 Mark 3 is overpriced and cost more $400 over G9 and E M1 Mark 2
Like the video, though you all look frozen, and there's a noticeable flaring in some shots.
Too much Jimmy sexiness. Now need two female models to counterbalance.
Everybody is fascinated?! It’s more like this camera would be ignored by the internet. Sorry, you have to be a hardcore fanboy to be fascinated by this lame E-M1 IIs upgrade.
As we say in UK mutton dressed up as lamb
@@floydsummerhayes5831 ^^
too much waffle!
The em1 iii struggles to keep the focus nailed.
