Five …........................ WhyNot …........................ 5/10/23 ….

BTW I just read the most recent Stirr article .... smallsensorphotography.com/ .... about catching swallows diving!!! .. I thought it was very informative about his approach to working with this process and he has made me pondering and acquiring an M1X to get that bird recognition focusing ... He's definitely inot the What and where of ProCapture ...

Not sure this is the best way to carry on this conversation but maybe it might find others interested where private messaging would not but then ....

WhyNot

WN The E-MX1 is a great camera but heavy and big for MFT Dave uses on so maybe he could chip in here but ur O-m1 is a better camera and has everything the E-MX1 has with more processing power and speed 👍
I remember him saying somewhere that the reason he didn’t upgrade is the E-m1X did everything he needed

I like the better viewfinder on the OM1 (a feature that I thought they should have added to the M1.3 & M1X and was one of the reasons I got the M1.2 at that time!! ) My main problem today with the OM1 is that I am resisting adding another set of batteries to the system as I probably wouldn't retire any of the other cameras and I already am juggling three sets of batteries .. The M1X is large but I would probably nail the 100-400mm lens to it and take it away from the yard only to places like the local wildlife refuge. I like the second processor dedicated to AF .. I almost bought the Cannon 70D (I think that was the one) when they added that second processor. I also like the ability to easily use it in portrait mode ... so its a possibility not sure the limited use I have mapped out for it justifies acquiring one .. and since I just added that 40-150mm lens it would require some delicate negotiation ...

WhyNot

Well WN this is one of the best photos I have ever taken and my favourite of them all taken with the E-M1 X and the Olympus 100-400 lens

You're making this difficult & .. generating GAS .. Here in USA Adarama has it at full price and marked as Close Out which I interpret as OM Sys about to Discontinue .. B&H has it at Half price ..Will step back now and argue myself out of it .. maybe ...

BTW that is a beautiful rendition of that bird!!! ..and doesn't help me step back a bit .. but then negotiations haven't begun ....

WhyNot

All the best in ur negotiations 😀

$1000 for a used EM1X is OK I guess. I'm not wild about the form factor for to each his own. That's half the price of a new OM-1 (body).

Thank you I have seen those offers at mpb and K&H ... but still just GAS .. no action!!! ....

WhyNot

There's absolutely nothing lacking in the images that you've been posting! And no reason (other than GAS) to spend any money.
