And who needs such microformat charm for $1200? Rich housewives?
I agree that the pricing policy is not quite adequate. However, the system itself is quite unique, especially thanks to the 5th series of the OMD group from Olympus. The main advantage is compactness and convenience along with picture quality.
But I'm wondering why there is still no base iso 100?
Compactness…
OM-5 414 grams
Z50 450 grams
Dimensions are almost 1 in 1, millimeters of difference
The same crop, but micra.
While reading, I thought that even the R10 is cheaper, but in general it has better parameters.
But if you already have about a dozen Micro 4/3 lenses, then what does Canon or Nikon or Fuji have to do with it?
Within the framework of this system (manufactured by Panasonic, Olympus and OM systems), this compact camera filled with the best camera of the system, from the previous flagship of the Olympus line, is the only alternative today.
without an alternative there is only faith in the system (it doesn’t matter whether it’s Olik or something else)
“The first camera from OM SYSTEM without the name 'OLYMPUS'”
Yes, it seems to be not the first, om-1 was in February.
Although yes, careless. OM-1 does indeed have the inscription “Olympus”.
