I am a fan of the Om System’s micro -third cameras. They are compact, travel friendly, compatible with a huge range, providing incredible image stability for easy handheld shooting, as well as accustomed to their computational photography methods.
OM system cameras mark many fronts. But it seems that what they have killed is a roof. In the case-the new OM System OM-5 II. It comes from two and a half to three years after the OM-5, but you will not know that-both are little to distinguish between cameras.
This is not a bad thing, we still rank OM-5 as the top travel camera. But where Panasonic is adding meaningful improvement to its micro-third cameras, especially for video capture in Lomix GH7 and Lomix G9 II, we get a USB-C charging, some video color profiles, and a young menu in OM5 II. Just about it.
I can’t say that I am surprised. Ever since Om Digital Solutions received the Olympus, we have seen the most notable refreshments in the new cameras that are the restoration of the OM system. However, I was still hoping for something bigger in OM-5 II. If the OM system was investing properly in the Micro -Four Thirds system, it has come after it has taken a lot of time that it has started introducing a new tech.
Instead, what we get is the 20 MPMF Tenser with 5 axis image stabilization, a minor 1.04m-dot touch screen and mill 2.36m-dot EVF run, though packed in retro and uneven body. The OM-5 II still looks part of it, and I am a fan of the limited edition of sand-it seems to be fib.
At least the legendary Olympus brand has not been completely killed, and it lives under a new name, because I still believe that such cameras are located.
Micro -Four Third Camera, especially inherited Olympus design Ethos, hit a special quality / portability sweet space. I wish the OM system is giving fans something else to be excited about moving forward.
Can we ever expect a meaningful upgrade?
Half of the glasses of glass have preached the punishment and sadness for four -thirds for some time.
‘The system is not dead’, the response to fans who represent the camera system. A wide range of optics for excellent blood quality, expert interests, such as wildlife, branding and more, all in the light weight system, which weighs a part of the entire frame.
But the fact is, perhaps rather than Panasonic for the OM system – we have not seen any decent update in its new cameras for years.
If the OM system was really investing in future MFT cameras, I think we would start watch this year. Earlier this year, he launched the OM-3-the first in a series with a slightly different retro style. It was a pleasure to shoot with him, but not due to great technical improvement, but because the micro is a really entertainment and versatile system for four -thirds shooting.
I am glad that MFT is here to stay here for a few more years until the next update cycle gets down. However, at the moment, I am slightly concerned that we will discover that this system has sang its last song, just to survive by my fans.
