This Camera changed my Mind about Micro Four Thirds

[@petervogel6326]

Every great camera deserves a skilled photographer, and with this combination, you truly have both. Thanks for the video.

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

Thank you Peter, that’s really kind of you

[@stevenorrisphoto]

I have used MANY cameras over the years (I had a camera store and studio for nearly 30 years), I switched all my full frame gear for the Olympus E-M1x when it was released and wouldn't swap it for the world. I don't specialise in any genre of photography but like to dabble in everything from bird photography, landscapes, macro and astro and this system shines in all areas. Thanks for your videos Chris. I was born and raised in Hull and have lived iin Australia for the last 55 years so I love your Humber and Spurn Point videos.

[@icecreammm2]

I just got one a few weeks ago, together with the amazing 45mm f1.8. I like the ergonomics, the AF speed, the IBIS, the smaller size of the MFT lenses, the speed of the interface, customizability (buttons and interface), the mechanical shutter sound, Pro Capture mode and other stuff I'm forgetting. I want to keep the system as small and light as possible, so I'll probably get a few extra f1.8 primes (probably the 17mm and the 25mm) and call it a day.

[@daysofgrace2934]

I have an Oly E-M1 mk1 12-40mm, 40-150mm f2.8, tripod, shutter release, glass filters, print to Flickr. I have a 25mm f1.4mm for 45mm f1.8 for minimalist photography. Couldn't be happier. I'll probably buy the Lumix Leica 8-18mm f2.8. I have an E-M10 + grip + Leica15mm f1.7 prime along with a spare battery which I stuff in jacket pocket and just do some woodland photography. 16MP going into 4K gives loads of cropping room with a bit zooming with feet thrown in pretty much never fails. The prime stopped down to F8 with the IBIS is tack sharp and the colour rendition is amazing. Liberating just grabbing camera, jump in the car, drive 20 minutes to the woods for a spot of photography around golden hour on Sunday...

[@markyteo]

Fell in love with photography again when I bought the em1 m2 by accident. Mind-blowing IS. Never letting it go again.

[@simonatterbury]

Best camera I've ever owned.

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

I would have to agree.

[@stephengilbert608]

Great video - thanks! I have 2 OM1 MkII cameras which I have used professionally for weddings for nearly 8 years now. I do keep an eye out for upgrades but I learned years ago that, if your gear does what you need it to do, don’t fall into to marketing GAS trap and blow money on upgrades. The two lenses I use for weddings and events are the Oly 12-40 f2.8 and 40-150 f2.8 - one on each camera body. These are both fantastic lenses and I only occasionally augment these with primes for low light stuff. My reason for using this kit is primarily for size, weight and the fantastic glass that the m4/3 system affords - being unobtrusive in a wedding leads to the best candids in a 10-12 hour shoot. My hobby is wildlife photography and, like you, I use the custom settings for things like Pro-capture (perching birds/take-off shots) and BIF. It’s amazing that you can get an 800mm equivalent reach with the Oly and Pana 100-400mm zoom or unparalleled 600mm equivalent f4 prime in the Oly 300mm lens in such a small size. On top of that, combined IBIS and lens stability, this reach can be used effectively hand-held without mashing your back! I’m sure an OM1 variant will be mine one day but, while the images and my current cameras are working out, I’ll not be spending money on an upgrade just yet. One final point - I still use my EM5 mkII as a general walk-about/street shooter. This paired with the Oly 17mm prime or Pana 12-60mm is a terrific discrete walk-about combo which I won’t be upgrading from any time soon. Cheers!

[@johnpark8297]

Really enjoyed this video Chris, some amazing shots. Top work 👍

[@hanahoeo7073]

Mark II I tired when thinking of switching brands several years ago. Results got me to finally to move to m4/3 with OM-1. Never regretted a moment since change. Enjoy your videos and your work. Tfs

[@gezgriffiths3793]

Another excellent video Chris love the last photo. Have never even tried a long exposure hi res shot on my em1 mk3 which is why I love your videos I learn something new every time you upload them. 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@liveinaweorg]

Sold my E30 in 2020 and bought the EM1 MkII - it's everything I need from a digital camera (and more). The 12-100 F/4 is my perfect companion. Great vid and fab image under the bridge.

[@johnniewelbornjr.8940]

This body was my second choice behind the E-M1X I ultimately chose and have sworn by since. I simply like the dual-orientation features, grip and batteries on mine, though many of the internal features are similar. Coupled with the Pro glass, it was a huge step up from my old 4/3 E-510, even though it was an excellent performer for its time. I love the electronic nd filters, hi-res mode, focus points/tracking and focus-stacking... The list goes on, of course, but the features in this system are truly remarkable and it's still sufficiently light that I can access some rather remote locations without feeling like I've packed an old 4x5.

[@jilka-b]

Just upgraded to the EM1.2 from an E500 myself haha

[@johnniewelbornjr.8940]

@jilka-b Enjoy! lol Glad I'm not the only one to wait so long to finally upgrade :)))

[@johnehman8685]

Thank you! The E-M1ii remains an excellent camera in 2024, and it’s a workhorse for me. I find not only does it perform extremely well, but it feels entirely comfortable in my hand, and the customization of buttons and settings makes everything I need immediately accessible. Also, thank you for sharing your wonderful photos!

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@dangreenberg8983]

I have a MkII - my first MFT camera and also a MkIII and OM-1. I have had the MkII since 2017 when I switched over from Nikon. Even after all this time, I still find the camera a problem free joy to use which produces exceptional results. I have used it for all sorts of photography with no problems. This year, since I had both of the two newer versions, I had it converted to IR and it is doing an amazing job at that too. Thanks, Chris, for all of your videos showing just how great MFT is.

[@rnwnsfla]

Perfomance, portability, design, price. Hard to beat this camera. No camera is perfect but this camera is most perfect.

[@Bigfarmer8]

I do not have the E-M1 MKII, but I have several Olympus/OM System cameras and they all have these nice features. Quite often I have to "defend" my choice for Micro FourThirds and get the standard remarks about noise and high price. I call my Olympus cameras enablers though, because with their small weight and size they enable me to take them anywhere. The build quality, weather sealing and features have proven themselves priceless over time.

[@ruivalverde]

I love my EM 1 Mark II. Never look back... This camera have everything I need and much more. Magnificent camera.

[@jpsteiner2]

I've tried long exposure high resolution, since I watched your video. Pretty cool!

[@DGriffGallery]

Used to use the old mk2. Also loved it. Wore it out and moved on to the OM-1. Totally agree with your views 🙂👍

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

OM-1 I’m thinking is my upgrade model next year.

[@mne9476]

4:15 “never failed to let me down” ? But I thought you liked it! LoL. I know what you meant. I love my E-M1 II. I find myself grabbing my M-10 II almost as much though. My EM-1 II does everything I need it to do. The only thing lacking for me is high-speed video. But I am not really into video much at this point so I will not upgrade until it makes sense. Bird tracking is tricky but it does well. Distracting backgrounds throw CAF off sometimes and it is hard to get it back in the same burst.

[@lensman5762]

You put your finger on it for landscape or street photography the MFT allows you to shoot near wide open with great depth of field. Thebonus is that due to the physics of optics the MFT lenses are usually at their best only a stop or so from wide open, which means you don't ha e to wack the iso too high up.

[@harrym7570]

Great video, I changed my full frame, Nikon gear several years ago, for an Olympus PEN F and after Em 1 MK III, never looked back and very happy with my choice. I support your opinions, keep good work flowing….Cheers.

Some amazing shots there; I recently moved to an OM-D E-M1 II - whilst sometimes I enjoyed my prior camera (E-PL7), I found myself often in situations where the camera was laughing at me (autofocus issues). The E-M1 II however has been an absolute revelation - it works with me, and I've yet to find anything like an issue - it really is an absolute joy to use!

[@pluggednickels7321]

Recently picked up a “broken” EM1m2 with 2 batteries and a charger for under $50 The only thing wrong with it was the rear lcd wasn’t working. The EVF is fine as well as the hdmi port for using it with an external monitor. I also have the OM1 and it is the better of the two but I must say that I like the ergonomics of the EM1m2 more than the OM1. The button layout and dials are just better laid out on the EM1. I will be using it mostly for night work. Also have a full spectrum converted EM5m2. As well as the lumix G9m2. I have gone all in with micro 4/3 and I can’t say how much I have enjoyed the switch from the larger heavier FF stuff. It’s actually enjoyable to go out now with 1/3 the weight and size of stuff I used to take. And I’m getting the same images if not more than I was with my Sony FF stuff. I can say from my experience I come home with more birds in flight keeps with my pany and oly gear and 200 and 300 primes than I ever brought home with my Sony a9 and 200-600. It’s just so much more maneuverable than those monster FF super zooms. I still have my Sony FF with a few fast prime portrait lenses where I do want that shallower DOF. But for everything else I’m using my m4/3 gear. Best move I have made in 40 years of hobbyist shooting.

[@ben.prescott]

👋 hello. My daily driver is the mark 3, so very similar. I shot with the mark 1 for about a decade. The customisation and muscle memory I have for these cameras is a big plus for me. Then record button I have mapped for manual focus .. one use is for back button focus, basically. Tried back button, never got on with it. And I just got the tiny Panasonic 35-100. It’s the size of a 1.8 prime. I love zoom focal lengths, and it’s making all my other lenses really jealous because they don’t get onto the camera any more.

[@gobot109]

Very nice, even breathtaking shots. I bought a used em1-ii last year and I love it. I’ve been getting good results using an old Canon 500mm reflex for birds. Also the Panasonic-leica 100-400 (i) is really terrific.

I use that for a bit of street and music festivals..

[@salgado_fotos]

I love my OM1 Mark II. I think that for landscape it is an unbeatable camera if we use Live ND, Live GND and HR. Because we have a tonal range gain that is impossible for other systems. Photo stacking creates a single RAW with truly incredible information, making it possible to manipulate it without degrading image quality.

After I bought a Canon R6, I thought about getting rid of my EM-1 Mark II and various lenses. I sold the expensive Pro lenses but realized the body wasn't worth much on the used market so I kept it. The Canon is a better camera overall, but recently I've been using the Oly and a reacquired 12-100 Pro f4 for walk-around shooting. Canon doesn't offer a comparable zoom lens that's waterproof. For night photos and settings when I'll want higher image quality or narrower depth of field, I use the Canon and its heavier lenses.

Great Video! I got mine at the Birmingham camera show not long after it released.. its so robust too.. you can take it anywhere skiing, hiking, snow rain frost, ive had mine covered in mud and it still works flawless. the 12-40 is pin sharp even wide open too.

Hey Chris! Steve R from York PA here. Have been enjoying your posts and would like you to know I bought my used EM-1 Mk II largely due to your great videos. Still have my Nikons, but haven't used them much since. Been using my D850 for tabletop stills and macros, and will be trying the OM for same. So far been taking a few photos around the yard and added the 100-400mm f5-6.3 that I'm still getting used to. BTW, I couldn't help noticing the bridge structure behind you during your last great image of the bridge and was wondering if you happened to turn your Oly around with your wide angle and do your magic with it. Thanks for the great content, and look forward to your next adventure and images. Cheers!!

BTW, since posting this, I've added a used Oly 60mm macro and a new OM-1. What a camera! OM SYS had a great sale making it a no brainer at half price. Thanks again, and Happy New Year from across the pond!

[@Daniel-o1l2e]

If you need high resolution in High Res Mode: Stick around f5.6 with a sharp lens. F10 will give quite a lot softness from diffraction. It's totally normal that this implies no huge depth of field. Thats just physics. Whether you use 4/3s or PhaseOne medium format. It's the same.

[@eltinjones4542]

I don't have this camera but my mf3 adventure is with my Lumix g9 This gives superbe results for what I do. The Ibis with or even without the lens stabilisation, means I rarely use tripods ( a pain in the backside) The focus peaking with manual focusing, give me the hyperfocal ability that I sometimes require I know that all mirrorless cameras have that ability but 'the best camera is the one that you have' I also sparingly use a ' brilliant' GX7 and will never sell it Thanks, as ever for sharing your thoughts 📷 👍

The EM1 II is a great camera and I honestly believe the later flagship releases on MFT don't significantly improve on it for photography. I plumbed for the Lumix G9 based on the lenses that suited my photography mainly the PanaLeica 12-60, but the EM1 II and the G9 are neck and neck in my opinion. Also those bigger channel reviewers who a few years ago were shaming MFT users on DR now say DR doesn't matter after recent releases from Nikon and Sony had worse DR at low ISOs than both EM1 II and G9 😂. By the way I thought the hi res pic under the bridge turned out great.

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

Thanks mate. The hi res was my favourite of the day. The others were a bit meh in the end. My next upgrade will be to either the Mark iii or the OM-1 for the star autofocus as I want to dabble with astrophotography later in the year. The EM1 is capable but the screen gain is difficult to focus on a star.

[@rotdohrn]

Currently getting into astro, too, using my E-M 1 II. Was wondering exactly the same on whether to upgrade to the OM-1, but decided against it and rather invest the money in a Bahtinov mask for focus aid and a trip to areas with low light pollution 😂 Looking forward to your videos on your “dabbling” 😉

I am on the fence for selling all my full frame gear for this exact camera. The only thing holding me back is the Milky Way Astrophotography. I seen in your past videos that you have shot some night photos of the Milky Way. The question I have for you is are those single shots? How does the noise handle compared to a Canon 6D. I am trying to get balance in my setup for light weight portability purposes. So far the Canon 80d is going to be that for me but if this Olympus EM1 Mark ii is as good as you say then the noise should not be an issue.

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

I had a Canon 6D and loved it for astrophotography. All of my astro photos are single shots, I’ve never really been able to align the sky and landscape in photoshop. Given the option I would stick with the Canon for the night sky stuff.

@@ChrisBaitsonPhoto Ok, I'll do some more research. Love your channel and it's a big part of my decision to go for M4/3 and the E-m1 MII in particular. Not sure I can reach the level of your amazing photos though!

Hi Chris, great video especially as i have just got my hands on an em1 mkii….can you give me the heads p on the filter kit you are using..?? Many thanks

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

Hello there! I use the K&F Square Filter Pro system.

@@ChrisBaitsonPhoto cheers Chris much appreciated..👍

[@ChefCrash1]

Great video. What lens were you using?

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

That was with the 12-40 f2.8 Pro lens.

[@mlhm5]

If you are not a pro then the OM-5 + the Olympus 12-45mm f/4 Pro - 6.5 stops of internal stabilization.

That's not all over the uk you missed Wales out😂

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

And the south coast... where I'm from.

The EM1.2 and EM1.3 are better than OMD's newest.

To be perfectly honest, whats not to like. Doesn't break the bank to buy, doesn't break your back lugging about and has all the whistles & bells you'd ever need.

Dad of 3 boys hoping for a girl next .. I have this and didn't go broke and have a much better camera than my finepix which my mom now uses

[@RodTaylor-pz3bf]

Yeah, it's pretty bad. If theres a FATACC, they will attend with all sort of kit to measure etc, but as for prevention/deterence......nope. PLUS...theres a lot of "stuff "and people moving around on and in vehicles - yeah....bad. Poor poor force.

[@ChrisBaitsonPhoto]

I’m afraid I need some context there.

Observing the camera market, one can come to the conclusion that m43 is dying. What is the point of buying an m43 when you can buy a full-frame camera for the same money or even less?
