Is Olympus Worth Buying Into in 2022?

- Olympus sold their camera division, but still released the OM-1 and 150-400mm f4.5 pro lens. The OM-1 was a little underwhelming in today's world. Would you really put down a lot of money with one of their pro lenses with their current bodies like the EM1 III and OM1? Today we test the 300mm f4 pro prime wildlife lens with the EM1 III. Is it much better than the little 75-300mm? How's the manual focus clutch, too sensitive? Slow motion. 120fps.

I shoot on a panasonic gh6 now although I have expensive ff systems. What I do then is put the video through topaz video enhance and upscale to 4k 240 interpolated and it looks epic. Far better and smoother / sharper than anytjing straight out of camera. Give it a go. On a mac m1 it's also rapid to process.
Customize a button to peaking, push once and peaking stays on all time until button pressed again
I'm not sure that hummingbirds feed like you say. They have this long tongue that goes inside the flower and licks the hell out of it.
@@TheEurolit3 Until you turn the camera off to save battery...
The end is hilarious😂 pls make another video with the custom peaking button and unclutched manual focus, it won't change the dual IS capabilities but maybe it is more practical to use now😬
Bold intro with some cool footage in the middle, loved the humming bird. Classic, hilarious ending. Have a great weekend.
I've taken some fantastic wildlife photos with Olympus gear.
There are limitations but then I'm not lugging 6lbs around
The Olympus 300mm f4 and OM-1 is 200 grams heavier than a Nikon 400mm 4.5 with a Z6/Z7ii.
Z6/Z7 are not PRO bodies and the autofocus performance is behind OM-1.
And 400mm on FF will not give you the same reach unless you mount an TC on it.
Compare OM-1 to Z9, and then OM-1 will make sense from some points of view.
@@tonigenes5816 it depends what you need it to do, but I know which one I would choose.
And the Olympus does not have more reach. A Z7ii "cropped" to 600mm is still a 20 MP image, the same as the Olympus, there will be a difference in IQ though, and it will swing 400mm 4.5.
If you crop from Z7 you loose the sensor advantage and then OM-1 has all the advantages : much better autofocus, cheaper, more robust, more fps, more functions. For wildlife OM-1 is the best choice, while for landscape Z7 would be the best choice. As you said, personal needs matters here.
Saw some almost imposible wild life photos with om1 + 300 f4. This setup is great.
You can assign the Peaking option on a button and turn it on/off any time. Olympus actually put several buttons you can customize on the M1 series cameras, just pick one. And normally (I didn't have Mark III, but it's most likely the same on that model too), if press and hold that assigned button, it's a shortcut for the submenu of the given function. For peaking that would be the color and intensity of it.
A real funny episode and great shots!! Well done!!
Thank you once more you lifted my spirits
You should try the Olympus EE-1 red dot sight. Would make lining things up with long primes much easier, and you can use it on other systems.
You made one comment on fujirumor page and the blind fanboys were going mad over you 🤣 😂
Can you share the link?
@@kapilesh14 check the comments section of the latest post on that website about xh2 4k60p
Wow, I just jumped down that rabbit hole and what a colossal waste of time. People are the worst.
Fanbois galore, don’t ruffle their perfect feathers…certainly not at 240fps 😱
@@officialtiimo it was a really good read, the immediate rants on kasey after hic comment tells you how ridiculously fragile the fanboys are.
Great video! Thank you! I have to test the 75-300
I'll still be getting OM-1 and 300 f/4 =)
That's what I use. 200fps 10 bit 1080p is so nice.
@@LexTNeville but does it have 4k 60 fps right?
@@pentagramyt417 indeed it does. It will do 4k 60fps or C4k 60fps.
@@LexTNeville I actually have a6400 + 200-600 but it is seriously too big and too heavy for me, and even no waterproofed.. I just want to ask, should I wait for a6700 (next month sony gives more information) + change it on 70-350 (only 650 g of weight! my 200-600 is 2,4 kg alone!) or move to om-1 + 300 mm f4?
Why is hd 120 so bad on em1 3. Ive tried everything I can think of, is it any better on the OM1
Man that footage looked good. With the peaking mapped to the lens button it would be a nice setup.
I'm not sure how he can say this is barely better than the 75-300. It looked better than his FF setups the few times he was actually in focus.
He is right that this is a photographer's setup though.
13:42 Yes!!! More Olympus glorious content pls!!! 😍
I love how you recognize in the end that it is just a button you would have to hold for the peaking. Hahaha
If you want a character for Olympus, maybe a sasquatch. Some similarities. I've never personally seen one in the field even though I am told they exist.
9:05 this is a good example to show why 180° shutter angle is important - even in slow motion. There was room to increase DOF making focusing easier (or use an ND-filter if you really want the shallow DOF).
Was his shutter speed too slow or too high in that shot?
@@randomlyunknown2012 It's to high. You can see the stutter-effect. In some cases it looks like the bird has 4 wings. With a longer exposure, it would blur that out. Here are some examples showing that: th-cam.com/video/Fouo6GKGBIM/w-d-xo.html
@@Ulrich.Bierwisch awesome thank you!
Also... And I am not trolling. If you struggle to follow moving subjects, try to use Olympus EE-01 Dot sight. Properly calibrated it can work wonders. I even managed to get swifts in flight covering decent proportion of the frame. Of course all were ot ouf focus, but that's on camera. But EE-1 works with every system. And it is relatively inexpensive.
Your Olympus video footage is the best I have seen you take.
And I have watched all your videos.
If you think Fuji would have produced better video, you need to stay off the Whacky Tabacky.
I mostly do medium and large format analog film photography nowadays, but Olympus is my brand for digital, and I don't miss anything.
If you like to venture into serious macro, you should try Olympus' TG-6 sometime. If you can overcome the small sensor, there is no better macro solution on the market below 5,000 USD. Up to 7:1 macro enlargement, automatic in camera photo bracketing and stacking (very useful with macro), up to 120 fps in FHD (and 240 in SD), 4K, waterproof up to 15 m, Raw and Jpg, the same processor as the M1X, etc. Plus it serves very well as a pocket sized point and shoot and doubles as an action cam. To me, it is all what I need as a digital camera. I now only use my Pen-F to scan negatives and positives with its high-res mode. When I want to create professional pics, I use my analog cameras, for everything else the TG-6 is all I need.
and it's actually waterproof deeper than 15m but the water pressure presses the buttons lol. I have a TG-4 and love it too
as far as I can see the TG6 does not do 120 or 240fps
@@robwat7717 You should look again in the spec sheet.
I find peaking turning off quickly is good sometimes...but insanely annoying more often then not. Glad you found the peaking on/off button after your rant.
On a side note, they catch a lot of fish because they regurgitate it to feed their offspring. Nothing more appetising than partially digested swamp fish.
I feel for you guys who love video when it comes to looking for gear that is reasonably priced and functional .
As a stills photographer, I only need a reliable camera and a good prime lens . I need low weight and functions that with the click of the dial I can switch between monochrome to colour etc .
Sadly , my EM10 Mkii is capable of doing all that I need a camera to do and my phone compliments it at the wide end .
I gave my firmer dslr to one of my of nephews as he was thinking of taking up photography and I wanted him to have something useful to help him discover his favourite focal length and then have an idea of which lenses he liked , match those to s camera system that complimented the lens choice and not box that operates the glass
I would love to be using 5x4 film camera , but looking after the grandchildren so my daughters can pursue their careers, MFT is the way to go I discovered .
Interesting review .
On my E-M5 III, I set the 2.x teleconverter button to peaking and when I press that I get peaking for the duration of the video, visible on the screen/viewfinder as i adjust manual focus (works in C-AF as well).
Where is the 2x tele converter button on the E-m5 III? I’ve been using the +- button for focus peaking.
Look at the videos from Espen Halland, Mike Lane, Daniel J Cox and Matthie Gasquet
Arthur Lefo, Brooke Bartleson.
If you do get your hands on the GH6, keep an eye on the bitrate. It's really low above 240 FPS I think.
18:23 _That's the only deal breaker;_ *My Brain* 😂😂
If the Peaking is activated with the focus assist function, i.e. manually turning the focus ring, it only stays on during manual focusing. If you needed on permanently, you can assign it to a button and turn it on and it stays on. Like this you have both options: remaining or disappearing....
18:07
You should probably watch the whole video.
Man, the rendering on this lens is incredible.
It is an incredible lens.
I know you like manual focus but I'd experiment with the subject tracking autofocus with video. Better or worse?
The little bird at 6:00 is a female Blue-grey Gnatcatcher. The males have a unibrow like the Lakers' Anthony Davis. I'm not exaggerating. They look like Angry Birds.
The little brown flycatcher is an Eastern Phoebe. The insect at 15:45 is probably a robber fly, a/k/a assassin fly.
Epic footage of the hummer and the heron! I videoed a great blue heron in Maryland last week but the only thing it caught over 30 minutes were water bugs. Anyway, you've inspired me to shoot more animal B-roll. 👍🏿
Full frame shooter here. Not a wildlife/sport photographer, so I don't use something big and heavy like 150-600. 70-200 is the heaviest I use, usually for event documentation. And also not a portrait shooter, so I don't really care about super thin DoF.
Once a senior photographer showed me how he could fit 3 MFT bodies + 6 lenses inside his camera bag and overall still felt reasonably lightweight. Obviously I can't do the same with FF system. I definitely like the idea of having smaller camera for daily use. Hmmm.... :D
Best is what suits you. I carry on airplanes backpack, two Oly bodies like OM-1, five Pro lenses incl 12-100/4 and 300/4, TC1.4&TC2.0 plus batteries etc. Total FF equivalent with camera 2X (nice) is 14/2.8-2400/8(!). All just over 8kgr (max carry-on). I can then fly to Antarctica or Sahara or anywhere else with full weather and dust proof combo. APSC or FF costs way more for this reach and would either take less equipment or pay hell more to put photo gear in checked luggage. Unless you hire logistics support, like BBC. Cheers!
I never wanted MFT because I like DOF, but I still bought one and it is more fun then I ever imagined. I'm doing the same like you, only I'm an amateur. Amateur body, amateur lenses. 2.5 kg.
If the quality isn't great, then what's the point of taking more lenses with more reach etc... Might otherwise just fly with a crappy 100x space zoom smarthpone camera. It's cheaper AND lighter!
@@novoyatlev quality is better, way better, than many would like you to believe, in fact it’s great! If you have any shot of animal or bird from 1 km, even 1/2 km, away with any phone please post it here
@@justmythought7658 Amateurs are distinguished by their knowledge and pros by revenue. None by gear or weight or cost.
@@ecosmidis Post a link! I'd like to see some of it
Kasey, I know you probably have considered this but given the shaky aspect, is it possible to add some stability in post with a small crop? Try it out and see if you can correct the wavy, shaky aspects? Give it a go
And the crop will even give him slightly longer reach, he loves that, lol!
This guy. Consistency is legendary
Kasey is the type of guy who complains when the focus throw is short,but is also the type of guy that complains when the focus throw is long
Hey, Sam Dan, love the videos and you actually know a bit about videography. I film club events mainly at night very low light situations, people dancing and partying, clubs have dance lights and strobe lights and sometimes it gets bright then dark again, i have a fujifilm xt3 and I love it don’t get me wrong, BUT dang, I’m looking back at the footage and I would say 30% of the footage is out of focus, i need auto focus on, I don’t have the extra seconds to focus if I were to use manual focus, I love the slow motion feature of the camera, but I wanna get something that’s really ganna capture the moment, I am getting paid for these clips and the edit! WHAT CAMERA SHOULD I GET!😫
That heron footage was phenomenal! The 120p HD looked almost like 4k 240.
Ask Camera Canada for the Olympus 150-400mm pro. I would love to see that
As i see it, the 300mm pro is pretty much as good quality....it is the video codec or sth that gives not the best image for video. For photos the 300mm and the 150-400 are superb quality.
Can you adjust the focus ring sensitivity in the camera settings? I’ve heard some cameras can do this.
Not in Olympus.
Dear Camera Canada. Please send Kasey an a1 so we can see if the 12mp firmware update on the a1 makes it the new night king against the a7siii.
Thanks
You should customize one of the bottoms to turn on and off the peaking. Than it’s stays as long as you wish. Ficus preconfigured while zooming only good for fotographers like me. But even I use autofocus usually
can you get your hands on the fuji 200mm?
How do you get all this awesome footage of birds eating their prey? Slow Mo looks fantastic. I can't even find squirrels in my neighborhood! Well, my Lumix G95 would never focus on it anyway.
More than happy with my Olympus gear - enables captures well beyond my capability
The only honest reviewer around. The footage looked good. Would you be more inclined to take it with you than the Sony 600mm bc size and weight?
I use the Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 PRO lens with the MC-20 2X teleconverter...so that puts me at f5.6. The sharpness is still quite nice even with the teleconverter, but I would like to have more light so I don't have to turn up the ISO so much since I'm using fast shutter speeds in photos. That's what this lens is for. Even if you're shooting 120 fps video, that's still just 1/240 shutter speed with the 180° shutter rule. My E-M1 Mark II only goes up to 60 fps. I am looking for bird photos where the shutter is 1/500 or, ideally, even faster. So, every bit of light helps, and that's why you want this f4 lens.
Instead of output blanking you should change the resolution of your project in davinci it looks awkward on TH-cam otherwise.
What camera will fix my knee pain
When I had my EM 1 ii + 40 - 150 2.8 Pro, the clutch engaged made the manual focus 'linear' but yes it was sensitive and also 'stepped', not smooth. If I remember correclty, without the clutch engaged, it had that horrible non-linear 'acceleration' feel however for static shots it was much smoother and was way more accurate. I used to use the linear clutch focus for fast moving objects because of the muscle memory of the linear feel and the normal manual focus mode for static things for accuracy.
Why don’t you have that setup anymore, and what do you have in its place now?
@@johndavid_ Due to personal reasons I had to sell my gear. I also wasn’t a fan of the EVF, hurt my eyes.
@@airmetalmedia ok, thx
do you do footage of spiders perchance?
The fact that you have made Tony a complete part of your vocabulary is hilarious 😆
Bro the GH6 literally takes care of all your "deal breaker" complaints. It deserves a go with you. Think back to the G85 days to warm your heart... then try a new Lumix.
contrast detect AF.. 10 year old tech
With IS in video with 600mm eqivalent I honestly think you expect something no camera can provide. It being lightweight is not helping. If you try to stan still while watching on something other than what your eyes would see, even if your hands are still, your frame will sway. It is just physiology. If you use stills-oriented IS you end up with jerks. If you use video-oriented IS you end up with sway or wobble. Either way it will make you sick. Either you get seizure or nausea. Sync IS is optimized for photos so it is seizure. But maybe there is some other setting of IS?
The 300mm lens works better if you disable the manual clutch in camera body and then set MF to On in camera then the CAF menu goes to CAF+M, you then have CAF with manual focus over ride, no need to push the focus ring into the manual focus position.
How are you doing this? Not how my Em1 mk2 reacts. In video mode, CAF doesn't have the MF option. Only by switching the clutch can you do manual & auto focus while recording.
Your picture taken with an olympus camera would be the character you're looking for.
The bird at 6:10 may be stealing food from the spider's web. I don't know about all birds, but Robins, when they catch bees, whack them and rub them against trees to remove the stinger before eating it.
That ending is my experience with Olympus as a novice.
When I quit shooting professionally I’m going back to Olympus. It’s my favorite system for wildlife.
What do you use now professionally?
@@wparo Fujifilm
Paeking duck, that was a good one lol.
Love your stuff man. Breath of fresh air in a world of prima donnas. Sony shooter myself, but that 75/300 rig would make a formidable aviation setup.
You could make a t-shirt were olympus and pentax are best friends, because they are both not meant for video.
Just imagine NOT using the 300 f/4 because it sits crying in the case with the EM-1 Mark III - mine does ! imagine having a lens that is just as sharp if not more so, but with the flexibility of ZOOM ! Yes, it's expensive, but when you want the best, you'll pay for it ......... ED 150-400mm 1:4.5 TC 1.25x IS Pro on the OM-1 ..... Now you're talking ... :-)
Why are you using pringles can for a mic? Echo fiesta
Bird footage was nice.
When are you going to try out the GH-6? We know the AF is crap; but you like to focus pull anyway. And the stabilization is likely the best around.
EDIT: I just got to where you said you're trying to get your hands on a GH-6. That will be a must-see series. Then, the R7. That may be even harder to find right now.
John the AF will surprise him in real world use with native lenses. It is a bulky beast for a M43 camera, but it's 4k 120 is top of the line, and the colors are spot on. He would really enjoy the camera IMO. Also yes, easily the best handheld IBIS available IMO.
@@jessecumberledge4530 do you own one?
@@JohnDrummondPhoto Yes. I have a massive lumix family. So that does put me in fanboy territory... I don't shoot wildlife (except my dog ) so I can't say for sure how it would do. In 60fps the AF in one area plus is pretty solid and fast. 120fps definitely slows the af down some, but the quality is outstanding.
The IBIS while panning handheld is by far the best I have seen or used. Also great colors.
Dynamic range and noise are it's biggest problems vs Sony and Panny full framers. Has about the same dynamic range as an R6. Only talking about video BTW. Battery life is also not great in 4k 120 or prores modes...
Really fun camera. I do think it loses out to the Xh2s, but the lens selection is just so much better for m43.
More than 25 years as a professional photographer and videographer and the M43 is the most enjoyable system to use, in my opinion .Who cares about marginal iQ gain or DR stops in extreme situations? The OM1 is a VERY good option for a lot of things. I really don’t care if a Porsche is faster than my Land Rover Defender! They have different purposes! Those comparisons are pointless!
I still have a functioning OMD EM5 first edition from 2012. These things are built like tanks. Ive used mine for video and pictures in Tokyo Japan Hiroshima Japan and all over the Philippine islands where the humidity can be unbearable at times without a single missfire. Thanks for the fun review.
So excited for your comments on the GH6 and for my soul to be crushed
Imo swaying is far leas distracting than jerks.
You even see swaying (to a lesser degree) in professional cinematography as a technique of hiding shakes.
That night heron has an extra toe. It looked weird but I didn’t realize it was extra until I saw it’s other talon.
I’d like to see GH6 and R7 wildlife if possible.
I simply love the 300mill after carrying my canon ef 500 the oly 300 is like a feather....
The Olympus Rectal Camera Inspector. Make a shirt with a person putting on a glove, keeping the spirit of Olympus alive haha. Oh, the person has to be small, like the sensor
Oh, no, sensor envy...My poor micro sensor. Hey, hold on there, I resemble that remark. :)
Is Olympus worth buying? After 50 years as a pro. Yes. Love it. EM1 MkIII. Fantastic.
Come on, GH5 II, or GH6. dual stabilization, IS lock, ex tele, plus telephoto lens 100-300, or 100-400mm, I think it's gonna be great for wildlife
YOU SIR, are a national treasure
0:00 I replayed the intro 🤣🤣🤣
For photo, there is a huge IQ diference between 300mm F/4.0 and not only 75-300, but also the two 100-400mm lenses with m4/3 mount.
For 4k video, camera will downsize the images, so IQ differences will become smaller, although is still visible easy.
So yes, video is more forgiving with weak lenses.
Sad to see epic photography lens doesn't cut it for video.
I am not truly convinced you know how to use this system. Why are manually focusing when the system can do this using continuous auto tracking in subject mode.
It's not reliable at all and doesn't work above 120fps.
What's up with your mic today?
Get a red dot sight, helps a lot when it comes to chasing flying birds and keeping them in frame while videotaping.

I set peaking on the Lens-Fn button.
And C-AF + MF
Today you cracked me up :-D get Olympus Ninja Ts and I will get one from you ;-)
great line to start the video hahahahhahaha . i also have an olympus omd em10 mark iii.
I wonder if Panasonic is going to release something good that's micro 4/3 in the future, no G9 and GH5 design confusion and maybe something not as useless as the S5 if they keep the full frame going. I just see S5's flooding the 2nd hand market and I'm glad when I was buying a new system I never got one and got an X-T4. GH6 must be good but the autofocus being contrast only is 😭
Rest assured - that Leica lens WILL squeeze stuff out of it ;) Can't wait to see the GH6 + L200 clip..
That's not a lake..a lake of death 😂😂😂 thanks..
I have this setup. My OM-1's video is worse than my G9 except for when recording 4K24/30 in H265. All the H264 modes (4K60) look pixelated. I only shoot in 4K24. In that mode, it delivers better results than the G9's 4K24, despite having smaller file sizes (H265 more efficient).
It's mostly a stills oriented camera that takes really good 4K24 (when shooting H265), but nothing more. For my standards, nothing is usable within the H264 modes. The 1080 also sucks.
If you're set on shooting video within M43 and don't mind manually focusing, the GH6 is a far better option.
10bit h265 has wider dynamic range than gh5ii and gh5s. Om-1 with ninja v gives better results than gh5s with ninja v(DR, noise). Check out Alpaco Films video about om-1 and ninja v. H264 8bit is a different story.
@@kamilrakowski23 yeah the H265 is good, but only for 4K. The H265 1080 is still significantly worse than G9. I wish 4K60 was available in H265. I only have 4K24/30 for shooting options if I want optimal video quality.
I finally joined the Sony E-Mount system with the Sony A6100. Had a super tight budget, perfect for a tech channel. The camera as well is hard to get as it's not even avaliable most of the time.
At 66990 INR(~850usd) it was better than M6ii(more expensive), Z30 at the same price, XT200, M50(I and II) at cheaper price. XE-4 body only was at first available at the same price as A6100 with kit lens, and it was my perfect choice, but for some reason Fuji increased the body only price by almost 100usd!!! Deal breaker.
Setting up the camera, and I'm already satisfied. Super crisp 4k, bullet proof AF, flip screen, clean HDMI out, usb charging. That's all!
It's not always about results. If you have a Micro Four Thirds system, you know what size you have. It will always be in the back of your mind.
I know. I love how small the system is while still having a sensor 8x the size and with pixels more than 3x as large as my cutting edge 2100 dollar smartphone. It's absolutely amazing! The quality from my little gm1 I got for 300 bucks is better than the photos any of my friends post of Instagram muahaha. They can't understand why my photos look so good printed either because they just shoot with their stupid iPhones.
bigger than the 300pf + D850 lmao.
A bit of Echo in the background with your microphone my friend
When you said “full manual mode” the closed captioning said “full mango mode.”
Is it worth it in 2022? Yes and 23, 24 ....... and on I hope. I like I can carry 2 cameras, 4 lenses that cover 7mm-300mm all in one bag and can carry it hiking around all day like it's not even there. Shame people who try it for video knock the hell out of the system when it does such an amazing job with photo's. You know, the thing camera's were originally made for? I personally would never buy a mirrorless or dslr to shoot video.
Olympus often reminds me of octopus
Olympus T-shirt: "OM-NO.1"... does it mean good or bad? the answer is yes.
