Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 7, 2018 Super Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 https://www.43rumors.com/new-olympus-e-pl9-officially-announced/ Ive been very close to buying the PL8 or an omd E-M10ii to use as a small crash cam and for street shooting with vintage glass. As well as some family video. I was waiting because perhaps the E-M10iii would get 4k as well. Not for resolution but to combat the moire. Unfortunately that didn't happen. But this is interesting. It will probably drop in price like the pl8 or get a good early discount. Its definitely on my radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted February 7, 2018 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2018 Also there is the Fuji X-A5 with phase-detect AF and 4K with the film simulation profiles http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_a5/ £500 in the uk The Olympus looks better handling though, especially with IBIS (although only 3 axis?)

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 7, 2018 Author Super Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 The ibis and smaller lenses is why the Olympus is at least initially more interesting to me. (Oly colors aren't to shabby either.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oly EPL9 costs 150EU more than a GX85, with the same core features, it has a better grip but worse button layout. GX85 has two very nice wheels, EPL9 has the fiddley and rather unappealing ePl thingy wheel at the back. EM10iii would be more appealing to me for the same price.

Ive already had a GX85. Wont go down that road again. Personally prefered the GX7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PannySVHS Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 @Mattias BurlingI´m seeing beautiful ep5 cameras floating around, some for 200EU for the body. for a m43 photo camera it doesnt get much more beautiful than that. I imagine your appreciation for that camera is unbroken. For street and portrait session it might become my new fav once purchased. GX8 has an awesome body to hold, but not close as pretty. GX7 felt a bit to short in height for really comfortable holding. GX85 beautiful to touch and look at but grip to small and a bit too short. Still got my GF1, ep2, epl1 cams. The GF1 and the ep2 have a warm spot still in my photogs heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the E-P5 and Pen-F I would choose the E-P5 any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Bidding my time for an EM5III. Loved the EM5II, but 'til they offer it w/4K, I'll keep shooting LUMIX. My only worry is that Oly won't get to 60p 4K. Anyway, the EM5's are still the best cameras I've ever used that really fits my ergo preferences. Shooting with them was always fun.

I think an E-M5 III, with a few newer features than E-M1 II would be a HUGE success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An E-M5iii would definitely be interesting and should be announced this year if Im not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
