    New OM-1

    Here's another report with lots of bird examples... Some of the photos look a little over-saturated for my tastes, and a few of the shots at very high ISO look a little rough (some have no processing applied yet), but nonetheless some very nice photos ...better than I can usually do! I liked...

    New OM-1

    Thanks for that quick initial report, Chris! I also have mine but I haven't been out to test it yet. I'm really busy these days with my job and no vacation any time soon. But I will share my experiences eventually here, and I'll be interested to hear more about how it goes for you. Dave

The built-in teleconverter and the zoom design both drive up the...

    New OM-1

    I will probably be getting an OM-1 to upgrade my E-M1 II. If so, I'll try to let you know what I think. GH6 would be another option but I'm not really a video guy and also it looks like the OM-1 might have better AF tracking... I've been "on the fence" with my Olympus kit for a while, using...
