    I don't know why, but every time I see "Starry AF" pop up on the screen, I read it as "Starry As Fuck"
    As for the E-M1 Mark iii, It sounds phenomenal and I am seriously impressed by several of those new specs.

    I am amazed at the negative comments. No one is forcing anyone to buy the camera. Name one camera with all the features as this. If the camera isn't for you, then don't buy it. Simple.
    If you need FF, buy it and get on with your life. Others do not, myself included. I've been using a Pana G9 for a couple of years now and am quite happy with the size and quality of the images, along with the video capabilities of the camera, like it's fantastic IBIS. I went from Canon to a brand I never gave much thought to until the GH4 came out.
    Cameras are tools. All those complaining about the sensor, what about it. Are the images bad? Isn't that what the final product is? The image? If you can take a crappy photo with a 100MP camera, were does the fault lie? Certainly not the camera.
    People need to get off their high megapixel, full frame sensor, horse and go out an better their skills.

      Agree! Ragging on small sensors because they paid too much for their FF sensors! How dare you produce a better quality image with a Micro Four Thirds than my full frame, hell it's not better, you can't print a 20' image with that tiny sensor!

    Joe, you’re still my favorite non-reviewer overviewer (is that a thing?) and you hit on all the key comparisons with clear and forthright explanations as to what they do and why they add value to the product. Thanks. I’ve enjoyed the E-M1.2 bodies for nearly four years come this spring and they’re ready to move on and be replaced by the Mark III bodies for my ongoing photography adventures. I’ve gotten used to many of the new features in the E-M1X and have been longing to have just this ergonomic palette in my hands in the E-M1.2 form factor. And they’ve done it and even lowered the price from what the E-M1.2 originally debuted at. I’m thrilled.

    I'm very pleased to see that Nikon has launched a D6 with the same censor as the D5 (4 years old), so it's not "only" Olympus doing it. Something tells me that progress on censors is not going so fast anymore. A bit like the CPUs that once doubled the speed every two years - which is not the case now.
    I look forward to being able to upgrade my em1 mk1 to an mk3.

    Great video as always Joe. But, I don’t know if Chelsea & Tony Northrup would agree with you on this camera being a professional tool due to it not being a full frame sensor camera. I’m just so tired of so many of the self professed pro photographers on UA-cam giving out BS information on camera sensor size.

      Hi William, I have both G9 and EM1mkII. If we take pure speed, Olympus is faster, really faster. I recently was taking shots of fireworks and I didn't not miss any, can you imagine none, zero shots. Most of them from artists prospective was very far from perfect but all were in focus. No prefocusing was required. I was impressed. On other side G9 face tracking is better compared to EM1mkII, this was a primary reason why I got G9 but now I am looking on mkIII and can see, they addressed it very well. BTW, G9 is very lovely.

    Thanks for this overview, Joe. Gotta admit, I owned the Mark ii and many of the Pro lenses. And, about 8 months ago, I sold it all. Huge regrets. I mean HUGE! Looked through my Oly images in LR and my heart sank even further. What a mistake it was to sell my Oly gear. Can't get it back, but I'm biting the proverbial bullet and getting the Mark iii w the 12-100. I have other cameras, both full frame and APS-C, but I have to admit that my Oly images always rivaled them for story and impact. Thanks for confirming that I want back into Olympus. Sometimes we have to make a mistake to realize...
    Stay safe.

    Learning my way through the menu but one of the reasons I got it was for Astro photography and the stary sky AF mode sounded great however I tried it but it didn’t work didn’t focus on anything just got a black screen. But maybe I wasn’t in the right ‘mode’ at the time. I was using aperture priority do I have to use full manual mode for this feature to work then?

    Out of curiosity but mostly boredom, I decided to give the z6 a try. It’s nice, the images can be really good, but there is no there there. It’s like dating a hot chick with a no personality and really bad breath. Sure she impresses your friends and is engaging in social situations, but in private moments she refuses to do those little things you really like. I’ll be working the Tokyo games this summer and it’ll be my trusted Olympus bodies and pro lenses going with me. I’ll let the other guys get hernias and heat stroke lugging around all that big glass and those giant bodies. Who knows, Maybe a mkiii can find it’s way into my bag by then. Hopefully Olympus will have a media and public presence there like they used to at the US Open in Flushing.

    • @theJoeEdelman
      @theJoeEdelman  4 роки тому +7

      Tania B. Silva M. - Olympus has been very open about the reason for not increasing the resolution of the EVF. The critiques are uninformed. Because the design aims to accurately capture moving subjects in the viewfinder such as sports and birds, they use a 2.36 million dot LCD with a progressive display format and 120 fps high-speed refresh rate. To increase the resolution would create tradeoffs and additional costs without gains. It is a viewfinder - not an image display. When I first picked up an Olympus camera I raised an eyebrow over the EVF until I was educated about the design and I now that I understand better how it works - I am glad they made this design choice.
