    Micro 4/3 How is the E-M1X and OM-1 with Animal AI Tracking (Specifically dogs)

    Hello, a bit of a out of left field question (don't ask me why am I using a baseball saying, I don't even understand baseball and I don't even know where, when or how I even heard it): How is the Olympus E-M1X and/or OM-1 handing the autofocus with Animal AI Tracking (I don't remember if it has...

    Micro 4/3 So what other camera alternatives are there to the OM5?

    I'm been holding out for the latest version of the em5/OM5, and now that the announcement is official, I'm a bit underwhelmed. It's still a decent camera and it would be a significant upgrade from my current generation m43 cameras, and there's still a fair chance I will end up getting one...

    I usually test lenses that I buy on a brick wall or something just to make sure they are not totally off in some way. My tests are not scientific and have a general lack of perfection but they serve my purpose to see if a lens is working generally as expected. Today I tested my new 150-400...

    On my GX9 it has ceased to work. Have tried changing from "PC Storage" to "Automatically select" (but I don't even get the select dialogue). It is like dead. But it does work to charge from USB though. Anyone knows what the problem could be?

    My DD has at last expressed an interest in photography. Inevitably this will lead to a request for a camera of her own to replace her old, now broken Kodak Easyshare.

    Micro 4/3 f/4 8-25 Pro - A trap for the unwary!

    Well, I will start by saying that I love this lens. Not as versatile as my f/4 [12-100] (of course), but lovely IQ and general quality. Also considerably smaller than the 12-100. However, as I discovered the other day, the warning screen about extending the lens from the locked position also...

    So I just bought a used 40-150R lens off fleabay for $70. Silver lens to match my silver M53. Looks in very nice condition. It does have an issue when zooming out in that when it reaches around 70mm the barrel will noticeably slow/bind. At that point and further it is not a smooth zoom out. It...

    Posting yet another mini review for a bit of M43 kit, mostly because the items I've purchased have seemingly been under-reviewed by the usual camera sites.

    Micro 4/3 GH6 Special offer from B&H

    So the other day B&H sent me a "private offer" email with a promo code that knocks $400 off the GH6. I've never gotten such an email before from them either. Pretty nice deal, but that's not a camera I'm remotely interested in. Kinda makes me wonder if there's a push to sell more of them?

After messing around with it for a few weeks, I must say I'm entirely impressed with such...

    Micro 4/3 Thoughts on coming OM-5

    I had a random thought and I thought Iā€™d ask our extensive mu 43 community for an opinion. If the new OM5 is really going to use the same stacked sensor, could they make it with only electronic shutter? It would make the camera lighter and they could go back to a metal case. It would also make...

    Micro 4/3 M5 Mk3 how to get to auto focus

    New to this camera. Used a manual focus lens the other day, now can't work out how to get back to auto focus. It's good practise using manual focus with focus peaking, but I might need auto at some stage, and I feel embarrassed that I can't work it out :)
