OM System Thought About Full Frame, Then…Nah.

Would you choose a smaller, lighter kit over a larger sensor? That's one of the questions behind OM System's continued commitment to Micro Four Thirds. Read more here: https://luminous-landscape.com/om-system-thought-about-full-frame-then-nah/

It is horses for courses and down to personal preference in terms of the photography you do.  I am happy with my Fuji X system, and my go-to body is the X-E5.  Coupled with the 16-50 and 70-300 lenses, they are my travel kit.  Re the body, the X-E5 is smaller and lighter than the OM-1 Mk 2 and the OM-3 and slightly smaller than the OM-5 Mk 2 though a bit heavier.  The OM-1 and 3 are more expensive in the UK.  The X-E5 has 2x the pixels.

Would I change?  No, I am happy with what I have, and the cost of changing is too high.

That's just me.

Nope, it's also me! Both cameras and, in my wallet's opinion, iPhones have reached a silly place in the price continuum. Though I eventually sprang for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, I have come to realise it was a purchase built upon the realities of a distant yesteryear. The longer lens is certainly useful in other circumstance, but its worth to me had been predicated upon its use with people: portraits. Somehow, I'd wilfully ignored the slight inconvenience that the 17 doesn't come supplied with models.
