The OM-1 II comes with some impressive specifications and features, such as 50 frames per second in RAW and with AF, Precapture, an improved animal autofocus, a stacked sensor and much more. But how well does it perform in practice? Is the upgrade from the Olympus OM-1 worth it? I used the camera for a month and was able to take a number of photos of birds in various situations with the Olympus Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 TC.
We all hope that OM Digital will launch a new PEN camera. In the meantime, we should be happy about this new announcement: Asanuma Shokai has released a PEN keychain to mount on the hotshoe of your camera :)
Here is a short film I shot on the Olympus E-M1X + 40mm and 65mm Vazen 1.8X T2 Anamorphic lenses for OM System.
Everything was captured with the Atomos Ninja V in ProRes RAW to get most out of the E-M1X sensor. Since there’s no open-gate mode on the E-M1X, you end up with an ultra-wide image once you de-squeeze the 16:9 image. Personally, I love panoramic aspect ratios, so I decided to leave it without cropping in on the image. It also leaves in all the characteristics you get around the edges of an anamorphic lens, which I love. https://youtu.be/_yk2dfoBu6A?si=5hfmmBAG1ro-Qs0o
