TheNarrowBand: Olympus E1 is 20 Years Old and How it Failed
TheNarrowBand:
The E1 is tragic. I will list plenty of reasons why in the video. The lack of wide lenses. The overpriced components even though the heart of the system was not really that overpriced. And then there were some mistakes made in the design of the format too. It’s tragic because this affected the market in what I believe was a negative way and made other manufacturers hesitate to move into the digital space. Not to mention the Four Thirds system was an open one that was truly democratic. Sadly that was lost too and thought the MFT system is an open on its not in any way really democratic in the way company prevent camera features from being used across lenses and camera brands.
Micro Four Thirds Camera vs Smartphone: Which Camera is Right for You? (feat. GX85 and S22 Ultra)
Gary W writes:
Join me today as I am comparing between two very different photography tools, Micro Four Thirds vs Smartphone, to know how each of them perform as camera. I am comparing my Micro Four Thirds camera, the Panasonic Lumix GX85, against a flagship phone, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and I am exploring different point of views to find out the strengths and weaknesses of each camera. This is not a scientific test, but rather my own opinion based on my experience and my preference towards what makes a camera great.
