I take pictures, mostly of birds, but sometimes other stuff.

  • @IMALlama I think the E-M1 II really excels at features for the money, being about 500 USD/EUR on the used market right now. If you value high burst rates, a pre-burst mode and outstanding stabilization along with a used lens market that favors buyers then I recommend it.

    I’ve also used the Mk. III and the OM-1. The III adds a joystick, USB charging, handheld pixel-shift high-res, and live-ND (in-camera frame averaging to do long exposures in bright light). I didn’t find any of those worth another $350 when I bought it, but the difference may be less now.

    The OM-1 is definitely an upgrade but it’s priced like it. I like that it no longer restricts continuous autofocus pre-burst to Olympus lenses and has fairly effective bird detection, but it does limit burst rates with third-party lenses and the 90 image buffer is a bit small for the higher burst rates it can achieve. I think the Panasonic G9 II may be the better camera but I have yet to use one.

    Olympus does have a free trial program if you’re near one of the US cities with participating dealers: https://testandwow.getolympus.com/
