Yes I've been following him, looks like iso3200 can be used easily, and highlight DR is hugely improved from the pens with the 12mp sensor. It seems everything that was wrong with the old m4/3 cams has been sorted.
these really are two different cameras in two different market segments.
Pretty much every other system as a 28~70/2.8 weatherproof zoom (Pentax, Nikon, Canon), so it's surprising Oly hasn't come out with one. For photojournalists, it's a staple lens.
I'm fine with three primes, and will probably end up going that route. However I'm not surprised if the lack of a 2.8 zoom deters some folks.
Exactly. The point of m43 is size, the 2x crop sensor will always be a compromise compared to a larger APS-C or full frame sensor. Though we may have reached the point where the performance of m43 is "good enough," which is why folks are comparing it to larger sensor cameras.
yes and no. compared to FF absolutely. but 2x m4/3 compared to 1.5x apsc are really aimed at exactly the same market segments: those that want to augment or replace FF with smaller, lighter gear.
heretofore it has been dogma that m4/3 sensor could not rival lowlight/high iso ability of apsc. from what i have seen on line, the om-d performs way better in this area than my FF 5d/zeiss lenses. if that turns out to be true, i pose the question how much better IQ does one really need?
