i was reminded by this thread of the existence of my 4/3rds olympus e500 and i will bring that to work tomorrow, expect some plane photos

i like how this camera has a really deep rich look to its photos. its the kodak ccd + olympus cfa.

>>4458600

my e500 has no dynamic range, this thing just falls flat on its face if you ask anything above iso 400, its pretty retarded actually. even the 6mp konica ccd + 10mp pentax/sony ccds i have work better at iso 400-800.

it cost $140 locally with a 50mm f/2 prime that apparently is a retarded desirable lens in 4/3rds mount

i do like the artistic expression (read: unique look) i get out of it

its pretty fun to use all things considered, but the awb isn't accurate at all. i prefer my konica minolta 5d, it can give a similar deep saturated look with more versatile DR/better details from the larger sensor (apsc vs 4/3), but the olympus glass is really sharp all things considered.

this stupid camera actually makes me wanna pick up my first not-vintage camera (olympus em5 mark iii). i think i would be served fine by m43 considering most of what i shoot is with telezooms and as long as i get better image quality than my phone i'm happy (almost certain since olympus glass is great).

Four thirds looks a lot less flat than micro four thirds. The vintage sensors didn't cope as hard and embraced their low DR and resolution. Micro four thirds tries and fails to compete with better cameras.

The vintage sensors also came out during a time when they were trying their best to convince people to switch from film to digital. That's why they along with the Nikon D200/D40-60, KM 5D, Canon 5D Classic, etc all have a similar look. It also has to do with the strong CFAs used on the sensor itself (the Sonys from the same era have weak CFAs and need more editing despite using similar CCD sensors as Nikon for example)

meanwhile people who are already 6’0” dont care that other people are 6’2” and people who are 6’2” dont care that people are 6’0”. they are all brothers in laughing at manlets. such is the relationship between 35mm and 44mm sensor brahs.

Well ok I guess. I'd rather have a lighter and smaller 50-200 f/4 like the Panny. I use the 40-150 2.8 with a 1.4x for this but the whole setup is way bigger and heavier than the Panny. (No sealing is a no go for me, I frequently shoot close to or on the ground and water.) I bet this stupid thing will be close to or over 2kg. At least it appears to have IS.

Like... I don't get the point. So, you're gonna have a lens as big as a full frame lens, that costs just as much (or more considering used market), with specs that are slighty worse to about the same, on a body/sensor that's not going to be able to do it justice even at base ISO.

No really, someone try and sell this to me and make it make sense because I don't know why you wouldn't just get an EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 or Nikon equivalent.

Dang it, I got a nice E-P1 and E-P2 from auctions on Buyee and both pages said they were fully functional.
The E-P1 didn't have a picture of the screen turned on but the E-P2 did and it looked fine.
They arrived today and both show broken and show an orange flashing IBIS light, indicating it isn't working.
Can shipping damage IBIS?
The E-P1 came with a 40-150mm f4-5.6 so it's not a bust luckily and I still got my money's worth.
I'll just use stabilized lenses on them and learn to ignore the flashing IBIS light.

I found old forum posts that mentioned IBIS breaking being an inevitability on the old Pens.

That aside, the old designs are really nice.

Having a huge old used market with highly depreciated lenses and bodies that are not materially different from new drives camera makers to sell more pro and expensive gear. If you are buying a dedicated camera in the year 2025 you most likely want a kit that is "pro" in some sense, ESPECIALLY if you are buying new. This puts 2025 m43 in a very rough spot. People criticize OM for abandoning their low end gear but it was the best move they had, even if it's a losing move. (I love my m43 gear for what it's worth and think the market is stupid and not the end all for quality-- Pentax would be far better represented if that were the case and Fuji APS-C much less so, for example)

Lmfao. M43 is inherently low end. The all plastic om5 makes it even worse. The 20mp om3 is pure idiocy. Om system is a fucking joke. A literal scam brand.
At least the g9ii does SOMETHING (high speed camcorder that looks almost like apscope)

M43 being a poorfag/cheapskate system isn't a secret.

Ok, I promise to not complain about OM Workspace for at least a month. Today I learned that apparently Fujifags have to process images in-camera (and with the exact camera that shot the raw) if they want to get Fuji's own color science.

Monkey paw. They turn Pen into "vlogger" camera: no sd card, no mechanical shutter, only continuous autofocus. That would be $1500 plus tip.
