5.0 out of 5 starsProbably my 4th Olympus
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2019
I know folks use Pentax, Nikons, Sonys , and Canons. I have always used Olympus cameras. At the very least, I've had a Stylus (or two or so), a DSLR, and not this camera. This camera suits my needs perfectly. Below are some comments that might be helpful
1) My DSLR doesn't take videos and I am videoing my children's sporting events. It works very well. Note that because of EU regulations, you must have videos that are 29 minutes or shorter. I film periods/halves, etc and then splice them together using editing software.
2) internal stabilization was important to me (as opposed to stabilization built into the lenses). My videos (I am using a tripod) have been smooth and I am not the least bit sea-sick watching the videos.
3) it takes amazing photos, as well and I don't have to carry a camera and a video camera.
4) several folks at games have commented, "that is an awesome little camera/set -up you have there."
5) there is an adapter for my DSLR lenses, I opted to by all new micro 4/3 lenses as there is less room for light to come in (ie through the adapter if it doesn't fit absolutely perfectly) and the lenses are SOOOOOOOO much smaller than the ones I have on my DSLR. Further, the adapter, itself was more expensive than the 40-150mm micro 4/3 lens, itself. That said, from what I've read, all the Olympus 4/3 lenses will fit with an available adapter.
6) I have the "silver" model and it's really retro and I admit, I like the look (really has nothing to do with quality, I know, but the aesthetic is nice)
I'm sure there will be more as I use it more, but that's what I have for now
