There are many Panasonic cameras that have more features than Olympus which are considerably cheaper. Clearly you're an Olympus fanboy cause even there lenses are more expensive compared to Panasonic ones.

I currently work with the OM-1 MK II alongside my Sony full-frame gear. Both systems have their merits, but it's important to recognize the inherent relationship between crop factor, focal length, and aperture - this affects not only image characteristics but also the price and size of equipment, which are dictated by physics. If you’re comfortable with the trade-offs, such as a smaller aperture, greater depth of field, and increased noise, crop sensor systems can offer significant advantages in terms of affordability and portability. Ultimately, it’s not just about the sensor size but the synergy between sensor and lens that defines photographic outcomes. See this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGbdf2mEi91gnrs Noise isn't about pixel size, it depends on the signal-to-noise ratio, which is determined by how much light (signal) is captured versus the inherent noise in the camera. Larger sensors, regardless of pixel density, collect more light due to their size, giving them an advantage in terms of signal-to-noise ratio. However, when factoring in aperture and crop, this can equalize. For example, a 300mm f/2 lens on a crop sensor provides the same SNR as a 600mm f/4 on a full-frame sensor, resulting in the same noise and shutter speed. The OM-1 MK II's base ISO is 200 and you can't get less noise that this on the camera, however, my Sony full-frame gear, at the same base ISO of 200 captures four times the light at any given shutter speed and aperture (exposure) and gets lower noise levels.

Hello! Thank you for the awesome video. Would this work in grocery store, warehouse, and indoor office settings?

When taking Macro or even only close-up shots, more depth of field is what we need. Even when focus stacking, more depth of field requires less shots for making a sharp photo: so for close-up and macro, M4/3 has an advantage over APSC and FF.

Still one of the best lens quality/price ever

Olympus put a lot of effort in this lens when they came out with their first pro body.

I bought mine in 2011. After using bulky 4/3s DSLRs the E-PL3 finally fulfilled the 4/3's promise of small sensor = compact camera. I have never felt comfortable pointing a camera at a stranger, and when the subject is aware of the camera the composition is different. I usually shoot waist level. The tiny camera with its tilt screen is essential. To compensate for the E-PL3's limitations I finally bought a big boy camera with a real viewfinder , flippy screen, 20MP and built in mic jack. (Lumix GX8). I couldn't have made the decision without my beloved E-PL3 for my favorite style of photography. BTW I have a hot-shoe mounted mic jack. There in nothing like it available for the Olympus PEN F, hence my switch to Lumix.

Thanks for that very interesting and informative video, I'll definitely go out and take a few statue shots in the near future and use your techniques!

Hi, so I used to do the live trick but IG doesn't show me the online active followers anymore...does yours?

he is not real

That was helpful thanks !

For a first time I think you did a great job. Interesting and entertaining. Maybe next time show the photos that you took a little bit longer?

Thanks for teaching me ICM.

Very good video. Hull's a place I've wanted to visit for a while. With regard to Olympus, I used an E-330 for years (Four Thirds rather than Micro) and found the colours to be richer. Is yours a preference/settings thing, slight overexposure or an idiosyncrasy of the EM1? Solid photos at any rate.

Thank you for your review. Very helpful.

wait so instagram well send you all the followers that have followed you since the beginning of the account?

What an interesting city Hull is, nice video 👏

Had to chuckle ! In 1973 I was sent on a training course to Hull, since when my abiding memory of the city has been The Land of Green Ginger - which I spotted at the end of your video ! 😂

I included the tidal barrier to the left of 'the deep' (I did pretty much the same walk with my camera in early July). Those lighting conditions were difficult but as I was shooting with an infrared modidified dslr I wasn't worried. I did pop into 'the lion and key' for a pint and you'd have loved the photo opportunities inside. I know the area very well as I was born in Ull! Keep up the great work and enjoy it. When you stop enjoying it, it's time to stop,

Well done for your achievements.👋👋

I feel my pictures don’t seen good like taked by others… I think is psycological sentiment.

Interesting stuff. Good to know that you’ve been able to get some reward for such helpful videos. Hope you’ll keep them coming.👍

Do you reckon using a fast write-speed SD card will make my 650d less slow when recording video? It sometimes takes a while until I can hit record again, waiting for the recording to save or process

Get your 12-40 pro f2.8 repaired..

Thank you so much for your hard work! 😊 I wanted to ask something unrelated: 🤔 I have a set of words 🤷‍♂️. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How do I use this? 🤨

thank you! I've searched for ages for a solution to attaching rode external mic to my phone. It's been doing my head in!!! Saved my sanity 😅 👍

I’ve just got my hands on this lens. Initial reaction is very favourable. I’m taking it away on holiday with just the 17mm f1.8 for company on my OM-1.

i had many aps-c sensor cameras (Pentax and Canon) Now i switched to MFT cameras and i am a happy guy! just Love MFT System! ❤

I was lucky enough to pick up one of these for peanuts not long before covid hit. At the time, these cameras seemed to have gone out of fashion. I wanted an easy camera to carry around instead of my Nikon full frame. After trying a series of small cameras with the awful 1/2.3" sensor size, the E-PL3 was a revelation. Five years later and my Nikon gear is largely gone, replaced by the E-PL3 and the EM-1 Mk2.

I borrowed the camera from my friend to learn photography

Actually, the Panasonic Lumix TZ90 does have Wi-Fi connectivity. I own a TZ90 and often use it as a second camera when traveling alongside my DSLR or Micro Four Thirds camera. The Wi-Fi feature is quite handy for transferring photos and controlling the camera remotely via the mobile app as you said. Just wanted to point that out!

It’s a T-Zed not a T-Zee. A ‘Travel Zoom’, pronounced as a Zzzzz not a Zeeee. Unless you are an American of course, a people who generally cannot pronounce ‘aluminium’ or ‘nuclear’ either. As for the camera, I had a TZ6 many years ago, mostly carried in my car for my travel photos. It was OK but nothing like the quality of photos now made by the better smartphones, especially not so in poor light. In good light, the zoom range is the uniques selling point of this compact camera. However, cropping an iPhone renders results that are at least as good. The focus system eventually gave up on mine and I never really missed the TZ, having bought a GX80 interchangeable lens camera that is in a different league and still very compact but not the zoom range. My son in law has it currently, being used on their Arctic cruise holiday combined with the 14-140 [28-280 full frame equivalent] f3.5-f5.6. Apart from anything else, this has far superior dust resistance and easy dust removal should it become necessary, while the TZ would require expensive professional teardown to remove sensor dust.

I paired one whit my g9 and i love it, It's ridiculously awesome

This lens is by far my most used lens. It is sharp edge to edge throughout the zoom range and fully open at f2.8. It is also one of the few lenses that can be used for in-camera focus stacking in the range. If you can afford it get this lens. It covers at least 3 or 4 prime lens focal lengths.

Thanks for your review. Those price hikes are eye-watering, but not limited to this camera. All decent compacts are getting more and more costly. I bought my son a TZ80 a couple of years ago, and he gets great images from it. Would I pay the asking price for a 95 ?………..not a chance. 😂

I received this camera for my 18th birthday in 2010 from my parents. I am 32 now and the camera is still going strong! I have purchased a few more lenses over the years and only had to replace batteries as I lost them but I think this review will make me use the camera a little more often!

I remember when my dad bought this camera when I was little. Nowadays it's the one that I use :)

Very interesting video! I tried really hard to love my TZ200, 1in sensor, 15x optical zoom, almost the same size as the TZ95. BUT it sucked in dust, had to pay nearly £150 to get it repaired to remove the dust from the sensor, and the image quality just wasn't that great in anything but perfect light. Also the Panasonic image app has not worked properly for about 3 months now so the remote control features don't work any more. If you own one, be very careful how you carry it, it's not dust sealed.

A good ' down to earth ' video, showing you do not have to have the latest gear.

Thank you for sharing.❤

After many years of using Olympus SP-590 UZ I just bought (cheaply, very cheaply!) such Canon. And now I'm learning a whole new world :)

Worked well but only 15 seconds of video

There is truly absolutely nothing special about these photos.

What the intro filmed on. You talking. Good depth of field

I've just taken delivery of one of these - with my OM-D E-M1 II it is an incredible combination. And having compared it to my Panny 20mm F1.7, I don't think I'll ever use the Panny again.

The problem is phones always oversharpen. It looks horrible and the more you zoom in the worse it looks. Focus and stopping down the aperture (maybe using a tripod) would have helped but note that the Nikon NEVER oversharpens. Phone is fine if you don't care about detail but once you zoom in everything falls apart while the Nikon is just a bit out of focus.

Thank you 😘

I bought one from CEX for £30 today, I though it was a pricing error. Really looking forward to taking it to Spain with me next week as its so light.
