OM System OM-1

After more than 4 months of use OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4 PRO still surprises me with its lightness, handling and extreme sharpness (Collared Dove, Streptopelia decaocto) 🪶 birds nature wildlife photography blueskyphotographers liguria (OM-System OM-1, 150mm 1/1250 f4 ISO200)

The camera's I've owned (Canon and, in more recent years, Olympus/OM System) all could do RAW, JPG, or RAW+JPG, or in some cases cRAW+JPG, with several quality settings available for the JPG side. But remember, on a camera you're wanting to maximize battery life, image quality and certain key performance metrics. The OM-1 Mk II can burst up to 120fps of 20 megapixel images with locked focus or 50fps with continuous AF. [...] I think we want cameras to optimize for that. [...]

[...] But 100% agree on the OM-1 and OM-3. [...] That said, the camera itself seems to be pretty darn good - basically a slightly smaller, vintage-vibe OM-1. [...] [I don't do enough wildlife to bother with a more expensive telephoto).

[...] And The OM-1 has a much improved menu system, with a customizable "my menu" page, which opens directly, on which you can stick your most used menu items (but, sadly, it's not included in the saved memory banks). Furthermore, I find the physical buttons on the om1 are so customizable and can do so many things, that I never go in the menu, either. [...]

Only the OM-3 is somewhat exciting, but it sacrifices too much in terms of ergonomics to achieve an aesthetic I don't care about. [...] As it is, it's just a prettier om-1 with worse ergonomics. I should note that I already have a pen-f, and don't have any issue with its ergonomics (I used it yesterday on -5ºC with big gloves, it was fine). [...]

[...] My OM1 can be tethered. I tried shooting with the camera connected over USB to a Windows computer, and it worked perfectly. It also claims it's able to do the same via wifi when you connect it to an access point (instead of its integrated AP mode). I don't really have a use for this functionality, so I didn't bother to type my wifi password on the camera to try it out, so I can't comment on how well it works. [...] It's somewhat slower than with the Olympus software under Windows, but I can change random parameters, such as shutter speed, aperture, and white balance. I can move the focus manually, which will trigger the zoom-in helper (it's how the camera is configured to behave when manipulating it directly). Taking a picture copies both JPG and RAW files (camera is setup to capture both) instantly. Edit: on an iPhone, I can use PhotoSync instead of the OI Share app to retrieve pictures over Wi-Fi. It's quite slow, though. [...]

[...] I have an OM1 and basically only ever transferred pictures with the camera's connection. [...] My older camera only had a usb 2 connection over a special connector, so I used to pop out the card. But the OM1 can also charge the battery via the usb-c connection, so it's an all-round great experience: I don't have to fiddle with random parts, not forget to put them back in, etc. [...] Funnily enough, my older camera used to complain about the SD card every other time after plugging it into my mac. [...]

"I don’t know if this is a problem that is specific to OM System cameras, and I’m not particularly interested in investing in a new camera system just to find out." A better way to have further narrowed down the problem down to Actually iPhoto would've been to do the same tests with a USB-C card reader plugged directly into the Mac, which would've eliminated cables, hubs, and camera hardware/software/firmware as possibilities. It's worth noting that searches show that OM-1 USB support is imperfect, the camera manual addresses that "USB transfers aren’t guaranteed in some setups", and user consensus seems to be to use a card reader for reliable file transfers.

Bought a new laptop Bought a new camera: the OM System OM-1 MKii I think he was just looking for an excuse to buy new kit

This means it will deliver the same quality of photos I've had on the OM System OM-1, OM-1 Mark II, and OM-3 cameras. Sweet! www.43rumors.com/confirmed-ne...

Nikkor-P.C 85mm f/2, OM SYSTEM OM-1. f/2 and ISO 6400 and I still only got a 1/20 shutter speed. I can see my laptop reflected in his eye.

[...] Taken using in-camera focus stacking on my new camera which is groundbreaking for me. I've been using the focus slider bar on my phone to stack which can be useless if you bump the phone even a little bit. fungi fungifriends Setup: OM System OM-1 OM System 60mm f2.8 macro

Meh, I love my Olympus cameras, but I wouldn't call the latest models exactly small. The OM1 is pretty huge, even though it's smaller than the ridiculous Panasonic G9. [...]

Does the camera actually support tethering? [...] The om1 works better with the app. Apparently, when connecting to an external AP, it supports WPS, both PIN and button, instead of typing the full password. [...] Interestingly, the transfer from the camera seems slower with OM Capture than with Darktable, but it can configure basically all the camera's settings, including the High-Res, HDR bracketing, etc. It can also tell the camera to not save the files on its card (or configure which format goes on which card).

I have an R5.1 and I have used the Pixel Shift mode maybe twice, just to see what it did. Like most cameras with this capability the scene has to be completely still, which is very rare for the type of photography I do (even architecture often has moving clouds or reflections). My Olympus OM-1 also has a similar mode with a similar experience. I also do not want any AI generation in my cameras. I want my cameras to take the photo I told it to make, and not to fake a photo it thinks I wanted to take.

Here's one of my favourite bird shots - one of the few I've had printed. I spent 20 minutes waiting for this swallow to take off, hand-holding my camera, and then it flew off the moment I put the camera down 😭 📷 OM System OM-1, 300mm f/4 photography birdphotography wildlifephotography

Interesting- I have an OM-1 mk1 and similarly I've never found a decent use case for that mode.
