.... I would not be at all happy with that ~ In fact I simply wouldn't do it. Football clubs and subsequently their players, only receive the photos which I am happy to release and only when they are ready after my culling and editing the RAW files. All the teams I photograph are very happy with...

On the subject of batteries, I would not recommend using any other than OEM and therefore I would recommend against third-party batteries. I would rather pay to have peace of mind and the knowledge that Olympus/OMD would sort out any issues. It's not worth the gamble. All in my opinion. I use...

.... You are not wrong ~ The Oly 40-150 F/2.8 PRO is absolutely weather resistant to a IP51 certification. The OM 50-200mm and OM-1 mk2 are both IP53. I had my 40-150 from 2019 to this year and it was subjected to many many long sessions in pouring rain and without those fiddly third-party...

.... I see what you mean but you soon get used to instantly recognising which frames to keep and which to delete when culling dozens of images before editing. I only use OM Workspace for previewing the downloaded card's contents and culling ready to Move (not Copy) to my ON1 Editor. You can...

.... I have frequently shot bursts of over 150 RAW images at 50fps on Electronic Shutter SH2, including ProCapture on my OM-1 and never had a buffering problem. I use Sony TOUGH UHS2 SD cards which write fast. But I have never needed to switch out of ProCapture during the card being written yet.

..... Regarding the weight of the OM 150-400 when out shooting, it is especially well balanced when a Battery Grip is also mounted on the camera body. Okay, the Battery Grip adds more weight so you have to decide how the balance and hence weight FEELS to you personally. The Battery Grip also...

.... It certainly is a very flexible and practical lens. Your comments are showing that you obviously know when you would use this lens and your collections of images online also demonstrate that and also they include that you have a great eye for composition and an understanding of how...

.... Here is my review I posted in 2021 : https://www.e-group.uk.net/forum/forum/cameras-lenses-and-system-accessories/lens-focus/telephoto/844601-practical-review-olympus-ed-150-400mm-tc-pro#post844604 Without reading it all (it's long) again I don't remember if I advised mounting it on a...

..... I pre-ordered mine about 4 years ago and have shot the 150-400mm on the E-M1X and OM-1 'mk1' and now OM-1 mk2. I'll reply much more fully to you later today and also link a review I wrote. But long story short, I very strongly recommend the lens if you shoot subjects which benefit from...

.... Yes, ALL my camera equipment is included in my Bank's Home Insurance Contents policy and covers me worldwide. Each item over the value of £2,500 is individually listed. I have had this insurance for many years and had absolutely no delays or problems when claiming. It's not cheap but...

.... I know that you definitely cannot ~ I checked with OMDS because I wanted to do it when I moved from OM-1 'mk1' to mk2. There are various Firmware differences which aren't obvious without a deep dive into them ~ All which improve the mk2 over the original.

.... Indeed it is. And then after their receipt and assessment of your camera's issue they will decide whether it can be put right under warranty or whether there may be costs incurred following your approval of those costs. This is standard practice with all products which carry a...

.... I had my sensor cleaned as part of a service by OMDS in Portugal on my OM-1 'mk1' under warranty. But I do have PRO Service status with them so I don't know if that makes any difference. As you are still under warranty ask OMDS directly rather than retailers like Wex or Amazon.

.... Exactly this. In other words, on the mk2 OM simplified the options and the functionality by Subject Detection automatically tracking the selected subject.

.... Not such a silly question because running it through ON1's Resize AI would reconstruct the pixels but at the moment my ON1 2026 version has a bug on its Resize AI ~ I don't use Lightroom and never have. I am wanting to improve the Image Quality rather then crop any further.
