Since it became OM System there have been several new bodies and lenses. I bought the OM-1 II over a year ago and like it a lot. Seems like Olympus m4/3 is still alive and kicking, but with the name OM System now.

I stopped in at a camera shop in Osaka yesterday and noticed some DSLRs that seemed to be quite good prices. They can still do great work. These were just 3 of the many I noticed:

Canon 5D II ¥30,000 US$190
Canon 5D IV ¥89,000 US$564
Sony 77 II + Sony 16-50mm f2.8 G ¥108,000 US$684

Well, here we are 13.5 years later and m4/3 is still not dead yet. :lol: Actually, several months ago I bought the wonderful OM System OM-1 II. Excellent camera.

I still carry a camera with me everyday. :) These days it is usually my OM Systems OM-1 II, but I also sometimes carry my Sony A6700. In February and March I was back in India (3rd time) and then to Nepal (2nd time). It was before I got the OM-1 II so I carried my Olympus E-M1 II and PEN-F for that ...

Yes, that is what I expected.

I happened to see that there are a bunch of new Minolta cameras for sale now:

22 cameras.

I don't know if some company, maybe in China, just bought the name or if Minolta really is back in the camera business.

I own Canon, Panasonic, and Olympus cameras and they all have the same brain dead, annoying behavior in one respect. I bet you have noticed this too and you just shake your head in wonder that these camera companies all have the same ridiculous design feature. I am hoping there is some camera compan...

I have been finding several things about the A6700 that not a single written or video review bothered to mention. No surprise. Every time I buy a camera it is the same. :) I have searched and still not found an answer to my question so today I asked ChatGPT. It gave this answer which is just specula...

Is anyone still on this forum? Last month I bought a Sony A6700. I still have mostly m4/3 gear and still mostly prefer it, but I was sort of bored and felt like trying something else. Anyway, I have been playing around with HEIF photos. Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic, etc. these days produce 3 ...

Wonderful photo.

I thought this forum was dead. Glad there is still a bit of a heartbeat.

Cool motorbike riders in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam :) DSC03840.jpg Today while walking in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I took this photo. After getting it on my computer I noticed that I am reflected in the sunglasses. :-) I didn't notice at the time I took the photo, but I should have. P1030377.jpg

I saw this advertisement here in Bangkok a couple of days ago and noticed that the woman is holding a Diana camera. Her's has a flash attached, but the one I had in the 1960s had no provision for a flash. Note how she is holding her index finger on top as if there is a shutter button up there like i...
