Canon RP vs Olympus E-M1 Mark II for Headshots
This was an interesting experiment. I’d say it does a decent job of comparing Micro Four Thirds to Full Frame in a controlled environment. There was a little trial and error and I basically scrapped my initial test. A few examples were included along with what went wrong. Moving forward, things went a little smoother.…

Viltrox EF M2 II & Tamron 70-300mm vs Olympus 75-300mm for Wildlife
This is probably a super obvious test. What is better for wildlife, using a speed booster or a native lens? The answer was clearly the native lens. The speed booster used was the Viltrox EF-M2 II with a Tamron 70-300mm F4.0-5.6 with the Canon EF mount. This was used on a Panasonic G9 Micro Four…

Please excuse my voice on this one. I’ve been battling a cold recently. My first impression is that this camera has a ton of features! Seriously, setting up a new camera is a process.

Reaction to OM System OM-5
OM System OM-5 Olympus E-M5 Mark III The first thing to pop out to me about this camera is the fact DJI has a gimbal called the OM 5. That gets a little confusing when there are two products targeted at the photographers that use the same name. Sure you could argue the existing DJI…

E-M1 vs E-M1 Mark II for Photography in 2022
The Olympus E-M1 was released in 2013. It is still an amazing camera for professional photography. It could easily be argued the autofocus and video features are not up to the quality of cameras released these days. You can pick these up used for around $250 which makes them an excellent starter camera. Olympus EM1…

Olympus E-M1 a Better Buy than OM System OM-1 in 2022
Can the OG Olympus E-M1 still hang with the latest and greatest OM System OM-1? For photography, I would argue yes. The E-M1 was first released in October of 2013. It is still a beast when it comes to sports and wildlife photography. The E-M1 also shines as a great travel camera. I would highly…
