RE: Updated Olympus lens roadmap 2020 - Klaus - 08-13-2021 Why not the E-M5 III? I'm still circling around this one.

Well, personally, I found the E-M1 just falls better in the hand, for me anyway. Like the EOS R. I don't have that with the E-M5s, probably because of the deeper handgrip on the E-M1s. I had an E-M5 for about a year, and exchanged it for the E-M1 II when it came out. Very happy with it . Also, AF-wise the E-M1s appear to be a little better. RE: Updated Olympus lens roadmap 2020 - Klaus - 08-13-2021 I don't doubt that the ergonomics of the E-M1 are better - for bigger boys at least. But I've always been wondering about the AF claims vs the E-M1 III. The sensor is the same (hence the AF modules) and it shares the TruePic XIII engine with the E-M1 II. If the E-M5 III is really worse (based on the latest firmware), it is probably software-crippled. I can't imagine that it is economical to develop different motherboards for these two - this may also explain why the E-M1 II still exists. It probably just doesn't cost much to manufacture it alongside the E-M5 III. It's basically just a different case. I reckon I will wait for the E-M1 IV or M5 IV (or G9 II?). FWIW, I've got the 12-45mm f/4 PRO here for testing. What a cute little zoom lens.

The local photographer shooting for Associated Press, the famous Dmitry Lovetsky, is using this one. So it's really PRO enough.

It isn't all that much bigger, millimeters, but the grip is quite a bit deeper. Ergonomics is a very personal thing, and to me it just feels better. Quote:But I've always been wondering about the AF claims vs the E-M1 III.It is all about the different AF algorithms they use in the E-M1 series, for eye-recognition and such. The boards are actually not identical as far as I am aware. Maybe the sensors are, but the processing boards are not. Quote:I reckon I will wait for the E-M1 IV or M5 IV (or G9 II?).I won't upgrade overnight either. I am quite happy with what I have availlable currentlly, althoug a Pen-F Mk II would be quite interesting indeed . Quote:FWIW, I've got the 12-45mm f/4 PRO here for testing. What a cute little zoom lens. Oooh, nice! Looking forard to the review .... Kind regards, Wim |
