Wirecutter says the Olympus E-M10III is the best mirrorless camera to buy

Share

TheWireCutter reviewed the latest mirrorless models and concluded the Olympus E-M10III is actually your best choice:

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III doesn’t represent the absolute pinnacle when it comes to image quality, but it does capture great-looking images, and it excels in other areas that matter more when you want to get the perfect shot. It’s compatible with more than 100 Micro Four Thirds lenses that all work with its effective built-in image stabilization, which minimizes the effects of shaky hands for clearer images. And its small size means you’re more likely to bring this camera with you than a bulky DSLR or even a larger mirrorless camera. The camera’s autofocus (AF) system locks on to subjects quickly and accurately and remains accurate even in dimly lit situations that cause any AF system, including this one, to slow down.

Although the auto modes are reliably great, the E-M10 III also has manual control knobs and buttons and a tilting touchscreen, which make this model one of the better-handling cameras in its class. Its built-in Wi-Fi lets you transfer images to your phone to share with your family, friends, and Instagram followers. You can also use the Wi-Fi to trigger the shutter and change most of the settings from across the room using your smartphone. And despite its great performance and advanced features, it typically costs a couple hundred bucks less than its closest competitors.

First Voigtlander Nokton 60mm f/0.95 MFT Review

Share

The Japanese website Fujiya-blog.com (google translation here) posted the world’s first Voigtlander Nokton 60mm f/0.95 MFT Review. The conclusion:

As I mentioned earlier, the Voigtlander NOKTON 60mm F0.95 MFT is a very good lens, including the bokeh.
It’s a bad word to say, but it was a bit of a spec, so I thought about a special application, but it has a good image and individuality that makes a big difference to other lenses in extremely general portraits and landscapes. And I think you are.
In particular, the beauty of bokeh seems to be at the highest level among the Voigtlander lenses I have ever experienced, and it may be said that this lens is the most attractive.
Large, heavy, and expensive lenses require appropriate preparedness both to carry and to purchase, but I think they will respond to photographers with good image quality and unique output.

From Sri-Lanka to Vanuatu, Nepal to Easter Island, I have traveled the world for 2 years with my faithfull GH5. a drone, gopro and some mics. The quarantine offered me the time to edit this 3 minutes video. I hope you’ll like it !

Hello my name is joan , I’m a Spanish photographer since 2018, I’m an Olympus shooter since then, and this weeks I make my first video ever! I saw Fernando marmolejo do an awesome broll of a bike in his home, because of quarantine, and I decided to do wherever I could, and this is the result. I hope you like it.. you can share it if you want :)

Matthews:

I think it would be interesting to share this video from markusPix. It compares several several lens combos and gets to the heart of why people choose M43. Anyway, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eDOCAokkko

Paul:

My second feature-length documentary feature film is finished. Tomorrow, it was set to have its world premiere at HotDocs 2020 in Toronto. In May it was invited to screen at the SF Indie Film Fest. Later in May, my film was also invited to participate at Cannes Film Festival’s Docs in Progress programme. Problem is, a pandemic came along and everything was postponed or cancelled. Now my film sits and waits for a fate TBD.
Inexcusable self pity aside, I wanted to share with you that I shot my film mostly on the GH5 (4k 10-bit 4:2:2), but also on the GH4 and even parts on the GH3 (yes, I’ve been shooting the film for a while — starting in 2012). Here’s a page I’m using for film fest entries and promotion — if you’re interested in seeing an advance screener of the film, please let me know: https://filmfreeway.com/TheDawnsayer
Thanks to all!
