For still photography, this or EM1?
if 4K is not your thing, EM1’s 5-axis system will help you a lot with your stills.
if 4K is not your thing, [and your subjects dont move] EM1’s 5-axis system will help you [a little] with your stills [over the OIS that comes with most Panasonic lenses].
FTFY.
It helps alot actually. And there are important lenses that don’t have OIS on them even from Panasonic: 25mm f1.4. Not to mention Panasonic body owners sort of miss out on some of Olympus’s lenses, like the cheap yet great 40-150 or Oly 45mm. With a Panny body, you have to spend 4x as much for their 42.5mm, or 2x as much for their 45-150.
Nothing against this camera, as I am likely going to buy it for work, but you discount the value of IBIS which, in practice is much more useful than you insinuate.
I have the Oly 45 with Panny bodies and don’t really care about IS. In fact I’ve never used it even close to speeds where IS would have helped. Not everyone takes pictures of stationary objects at 1/10 of a second hand held. It doesn’t bother me not having IS with the 25 1.4 eiter. I’m not that old and shaky yet and my subjects move, even the trees so slow shutter speeds are for a style of shooting I don’t do often.
I can’t tell a difference between my old e-m5 and my gx7 + kit or 14-140 as far as stabilization. I get about 50% keepers down to 1/5 sec on both.
Oly IBIS is nice, but it’s often oversold.
EM1 hands down. This is a plasticky thing…for too much money.
One is $400 more than the other, and they both produce the same quality pictures.
I had just ordered the EM1 for $800(same price) thats why I was wondering. I do not see myself shooting video professionally.
Sounds like you made the right choice if it’s new and not gray market. E-M1 will prob have a stronger resale too.
Does anyone know the average time it takes for Panasonic to release a body only SKU after launch? Already have two 14-42 kit zooms and the 14-140. Thx.
6-8 months longer than it takes to sell those two 14-42 kit lenses.
