It's a very capable camera. I've had it since released. Menu is complicated but can be customized so you don't have to access it too much. Just set it to the super control panel which can access most settings. The 5 axis stabilization helps compensate for the sensor size limitations. Agree that the video isn't as good as new cameras. The small Panasonic and Olympus primes are sharp and small.

One of the advantages of this little gem is its lightness and go anywhere capability . Of course, fitted with a fast prime or one of the smaller pro lenses and things improve . However, I found my APS camera was getting to hurt my neck when using it for a significant period of time and whilst still light compared to full frame alternatives , I was looking forward something smaller and more affordable . It took a while getting use to the menu system, but once mastered , you are away . I bought mine a year ago direct from Olympus and paid £350 with an extended thirty months warranty . Pretty cool. I had been toying with getting the camera since it came out and was torn between xt20 and em10 Mkii. Having handled both and played around with the kit lens I chose the em10. There is no perfect camera , which is why it is always a very personal decision . Always try out your options and read and review images from those choices . Having done all that I feel I have the perfect alternative to my phone. I make a number of photo books each year and I love seeing my work in print. I don’t any longer do pro work and my needs are quite basic . Thank you for your thoughts and sharing them with us here.

@@GaryJahman Gary , what I over looked to mention that I also liked about this camera was the tilt screen , which is vanishing from many newer cameras , as video requires a swing out screen to do blogging . Since I am only do photos and have no need for videos , a tilt screen is a must . In addition, I need to review images in camera and wear glasses, this was one of the more workable options on offer. I also set up one of the dials to enable BW shooting , where the image also appears on screen and I camera in BW . That is a major advantage over film . I keep all processing to under thirty seconds on average and use Snapseed for this on my phone. I am not going back to using a computer or laptop . To do Justice to getting the most out of post processing I will require so much power , calibrated screens and before I know it, I am spending more time processing than taking images . So , using Snapseed speeds up my workflow and gives me the sophistic tools to do pretty much what I need on the go , along with sending images to my printer to create my photo books .

Care to explain how it better against em5m2?
@ordinosaurs Жыл бұрын
@@doel89 Lots of reasons. Let's begin with handling : the E-M5 mk II is about the same size but 30% heavier. Doesn't seem like a lot, but after a day's hike, in nature or in the city, every little bit counts. If you add the HLD-8L to the 5.2, it has the same size overall as the E-M1 mk II, but a far worse grip, so that doesn't help. And the E-M1 mk II has become a far better yet about as expensive camera 2nd hand. Then the "interface" : the EVF of the 10.2 is a beautiful OLED panel, the EVF of the 5.2 is an older LCD unit which can burn itself to death if exposed to the sun. Very fragile, very expensive to replace when damaged, worse image quality. Controls ? The 10.2 has a nice layout on the top plate, with 4 easily accessible buttons that you can recognize by touch. The 5.2 has a cluttered top plate with small and cramped controls. Specs : on paper the 5.2 takes the cake, but most of the improvements over the 10.2 are for video, and sadly it's the part that aged the worst. The 5.2 is limited anyway to 1080p HD, which doesn't cut it anymore. Which leaves, in favour of the 5.2 : weather sealing, under condition you use a (weather sealed) pro lens [big, expensive, in your face : contrary to the spirit of nimble inconspicuous street photography], high resolution, but only on static objects and from a tripod [again, not suited to street photography], and focus stacking [requires tripod and compatible with only a handful of pro lenses, see comments above]. Exclusives of the 10.2 : oled EVF, instinctive controls, weight, focus tracking with camera at eye level and your thumb on the back lcd (the 5.2 can't do that). The BLS-50 battery is still current (found on the latest OM-5). Against the 5.2 : The battery has been removed from Olympus inventory since 2019 and can't be found OEM anymore, and the camera has some teething problems (on/off switch can become erratic, several seconds lapse between shots when SD card close to full capacity). TL;DR the 10.2 is a much better street photography camera than the 5.2.

Well, because, maybe this camera, within its price and limits, one can go out and get something most people had forgotten about photography: TO HAVE FUN. Yes, I've noticed that nowadays, technography has taken away the fun of photography: Bokeh, HDR, phone synchro, 4K, weather sealed, not enough light, etc, etc. Cameras are, or were meant, back in the day, to record moments. We do not remember, nor dream, in 4K. No one here, reading these lines, including you, is going to expose at the Museum of Fine Arts. Let the "pros" get that hell and work it out, since they, after going through hell, in order to expose, they get & give hate in return You, go out and bring back memories, dreamy memories.

@ordinosaurs2 жыл бұрын
Both are 16 Mpix cameras. The mk II is all metal, the III is plastic. On the plus side, the mk III brings 4k video, and that's about it. But it takes a lot of advanced features away (for instance, silent shutter is now a mode by itself instead of being a shutter drive accessible from regular PASM modes). So, if you do stills photography, the mk II is less restricted, better built, and better value. It will grow with you whereas the mk III is firmly entrenched at the beginner level. If you have a bit more money, the mk IV is 20 Mpix, 4k, and a nice blend of the mk II advanced features and "easy modes" of the mk III.
