Digitalrev: “Is Micro Four Thirds Dead?” ….Of course not :)

Share

As usual take everything with a bit of humor…but for once I think they missed the point of the MFT reason of existence! It is not so the size of the camera that matters:

1) The lenses are usually way smaller compared to APS-C and FF. A part of some Fuji lenses the competition lenses are BIG. Yes, the Sony A63000 for example is very small camera, but then you have to buy big and expensive lenses (often FE!). Makes no sense at all!
2) Also appealing is the very large native lens range. There are way more options in the MFT world than in any other mirrorless system
3) It’s also a very diversified system. Panasonic offers plenty of serious features for “film makers” and “hybrid shooters” while Olympus focuses more on the “pure photographic” aspects
4) Competition within the system. Panasonic and Olympus are pushing each other while other companies are closed into their own system.
5) The “reality” argument. 99% of the people doesn’t need Full Frame. 99% of the people doesn’t need crazy Megapixel numbers or High ISO that go into millions. Ergonomy and reliability are way more important (although less “news viral”) features!

Is there something you want to add?

300mm PRO lens reviewed by Digitalkamera Germany: “it’s the best MFT lens we tested yet”.

Share

300mm

The German reviewers from Digitalkamera.de tested the new Olympus 300mm PRO lens. In short they say that this is the best Micro Four Thirds lens they ever tested. Focus is super fast, build and optical quality is superb. What’s best is that they managed to take sharp shots in conditions were usually you would need a Tripod with any other lens of that kind.
