I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

Having installed a budget fix 45mm f1.8, I felt such high sharpness and good bokeh that the screams of full-frame connoisseurs no longer carry anything constructive for me. The weight of the device with the lens allows me to walk freely and take pictures even with my sore back. The swivel screen also saves your back at non-standard angles. Cannot see exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO) when shooting video. Lens hoods for conventional lenses are so small that they are easy to lose…

Pros
  • A compact body that allows you to put the camera in a spacious jacket pocket with a regular pancake zoom. You can feel the high-quality assembly and the strength of the case, although you still don’t want to drop it anyway. Decent 4K video quality (compared with top-end smartphones).
Cons
  • To turn on the camera, you need to use your second hand (we hold the camera with one hand, turn it on with the other), it is unrealistic to do everything with one hand. The menu is quite tricky, and no matter how Olympus himself and his ambassadors praised this menu, it was not possible to get used to it in a short period of time. Lack of 4K 60fps. Importing photo and video material to a smartphone is some dancing with a tambourine (I thought that after the first pairing of the smartphone and the camera, the connection would proceed automatically, but this is not the case). Unable to import large video files to smartphone. The camera does not have a built-in GPS module, and therefore geotagging on the photo is possible only through a special application on the smartphone.

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

I took it as a travel camera, before that there were a dozen marks 2 from the olives; Well, it’s such a device in the picture, but it’s convenient to use. Now I even began to work with this camera on orders and I'm thinking about a complete transition to Olik. To talk here about the fact that the camera is cool, the pictures are beautiful, etc. it makes no sense - in 2022 it is difficult to buy a full city. But. Someone drowns for glass (they are in Kenonovsky camp), someone for the overall…

Pros
  • The camera is one big advantage 1) Stab. This is generally a song, after Nikon (810 and 610 I have) the feeling that I got to another planet. Shutter speeds 1/2s, 1s handheld and perfectly normal portrait work on EFRR. 90 mm with shutter speed 1/15. 2) Nichrome he guys do not make noise. 2022 is an absolutely working ISO, 800 and below is comfortable. Yes, my ff can give 12800 normal, and 6400 is quite comfortable, but why the heck is it here if I work on a hole of 1.2 and a shutter speed of 1/30-1/50? Almost never rises above 1200 3) shooting speed. In general, I forgot what the brakes are, although the flash drives are the same 4) automation. This is both focus and metering. On DSLRs, I always have only M mode in everything. Here - I mainly use A, autoiso and TTL. He, damn it, works really well for both reporting and portrait work. Well, I'm not talking about the studio - it's a separate world, and there is a manual, of course. 5) customizable buttons. There are 8 of them here 6) picture. Delicious, juicy, sharp. Yes, you can go on and on. A cool camera for the pros and a great choice for the amateur
Cons
  • 1) RAW support in iOS, MAC OS. It’s clear that they will fix it, but if it’s critical for you (for example, I process a lot on the iPad, and the inability to open equalization on it is a problem if you don’t use cloud lightroom). 2) the flash exposure compensation function is a problem. It is there, but it is done in an ugly, uncomfortable way. 3) The effect of BCHK (big black camera) disappeared from clients. 4) There is no battery handle yet. And I would very much like to. 5) One slot for a flash drive. As if the camera with the brains of the past flagship was made as a travel camera for pros or semi-pros, the price tag is not the lowest - well, why not make a two-flash drive? 6) and the worst part - no support for Tethered Capture. I mostly work in the studio, and it’s just damn inconvenient after the Nikons. There he stuck into the computer, and you immediately see what you get. And if you work in a team, then your photo producer will also rate the photos during the shooting.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I like everything very much. It’s even a pity that I didn’t “discover” Olympus for myself earlier Pros: - Compact, fast, very convenient in terms of settings and ergonomics (swivel, touch screen! +200 points), excellent performance - it's nice to hold in your hands! Compare with Sony 6300. - A very good line of lenses at normal prices. - Very well bought on the stock! ;) Its cons: - there are no complaints about the camera at all. - lens 12-45 / f4 - I read reviews with doubts because of…
