It may be the recently announced Sony dedicated M43 20MP, stacked, BSI sensor. Though recently announced, it has been suggested that it is already in production.

I just love the way some "phographers" try and force their views on others. "I don't want or need the latest camera, so you shouldn't either." They then use the tired old mantra "it won't make you a better photographer". No, but it will enable some of us to take shots that we might not otherwise be able to capture. Didn't think of that one, did you? How arrogant, to try and dictate what cameras we should be allowed to purchase. Well here are a couple of questions for you: Are you still using a Brownie 127, or a Practica Nova 1B? I'll bet your not. Has moving up to a DSLR or mirrorless made you a better photographer. If not, why aren't you still using a camera from the 1960's? Are you still watching TV on a black and white TV, or do you own a colour TV. What about your car, still driving a model T Ford. I doubt it.

I use it virtually all the time for wildlife, the exception is macro/flash photography. Additionally, I have to say, the reply from CHG_Canon is spot on.

Don't blame you at all. I work on the principle that if I want it, and can afford it, then I purchase it. We are a long time dead. I've never understood this GAS rubbish. The R3 looks a bit tasty, so I hope it lives up to your expectations. I used to own an EOS 5 back in the early 90's. That, too, had eye AF - five read squares in the viewfinder, if I remember correctly: and it worked very well indeed. I loved that camera and used it alongside my Canon EOS 10.

I have the Cotton Carrier G3 twin and it is brilliant. I had the previous version, which was a bit good, but the G3 is superb. Your camera/lens combination is in a really comfortable position with no pendulum style swinging. Consider the twin holster set up as it allows a second large lens (with tripod mount) to also be carried. I use mine with an EM1X + 300mm and an EM1.3 + 200mm f2.8. No dreadful neck ache, as most of the weight is born on your shoulders. It is easy to actually run with two cameras and lenses on a Cotton Carrier twin because they are so secure.

Good choice on both camera and lens: I used to own both prior to moving to mirrorless (Olympus EM1X and EM1.3). I doubt you will be disappointed with your choices.

I stood outside my favourite photography shop looking in the window at both lenses. Which one to choose? Not an easy question to answer. In the end I chose the Nikon 200 - 500mm and never looked back. Fabulous lens, f5.6 throughout the zoom range, takes a Nikon TC14EIII teleconverter and still produces great results when combined with a D500.

I have been fortunate to own several Sony FF mirrorless cameras, including: A7II, A7III, A7R4 and A9. I purchased an A7III for wildlife photography and required a companion camera. Having read that the A7II was also good for wildlife, I purchased one (at a very good price). After a few weeks I realised that it wasn't the camera for me. Perhaps others will disagree, but I found it inferior in every way to my A7III. The AF was just too slow and less accurate than my A7III. I sold it on and purchased an A9, so my A7III became the companion camera.

Are you using a plate camera with flash powder or something more modern? I started off with my sister's hand me down Brownie 127, I then progressed to a Parctica Nova 1B in 1970. I now use an EM1X and EM1 mark III. If OMD Solutions produce a camera significantly better than my EM1X I will sell my EM1.3 and purchase the new camera. I had to learn about the exposure triangle when using my Practica, which did not have a built in light meter. Why would I want to go back in time and reduce the possibility of obtaining fast action shots? I shoot my cameras on manual and RAW, but still use ProCapture and in camera focus stacking, which are brilliant aids, though still require a great deal of practice to use. As far as I'm concerned modern cameras are marvellous tools and no one forces you to use the auto settings: but for those who don't like them, there are plenty of film cameras available on the secondhand market.

I own Olympus gear and never use FF equivalence when referring to a lens. I think you will find your "friends" are being influenced by YouTube reviewers who seem to be obsessed with equating M43 focal length to FF.

Don't quote me on this; but I believe the 47MP M43 sensor is for commercial use such as CCTV. I don't believe we will see it in our EM1X replacement (crosses fingers in the hope the Wow! factor camera OMD Solutions have suggested is an EM1X replacement). Having previously owned a fabulous Sony A7R4 61 MP camera, I can state that it did struggle somewhat at higher ISO - nowhere near as good as my A7III or A9 in that area. With respect to computers, I had to factor in a replacement PC when I purchased my A7R4.

The Olympus M43 is a brilliant system. I own the professional EM1X and an EM1 mark III. In the past I have owned 2 x EM1 bodies and an EM1 mark II. From those three, I move to Sony full frame mirrorless - an A7III, A9 and A7R4 - all fantastic cameras; but I swithced back to Olympus due to the weight/size difference. The EM1X is the top of the range model and has the best IBIS on the market, the fabulous ProCapture, in camera focus bracketting and stacking, in camera neutral density filters (digital) and 50MP handheld HiRes and tripod 80MP HiRes modes. It also has bird, plane, train and automobile recognition AI - the bird option is particularly good for BIF. The EM1.3 has many, but not all of the above options with the addition of an Astro photography option. The EM1X handles like a dream and is an ergonimic delight. The EM1.3 is quite a bit smaller, but is still very comfortable to hold - even with the 300mm f4. Olympus Pro lenses are optically stunning, and most are small and light: but even the normal Zuiko lenses are really good optically and very well priced. I own an Olympus Pro 300mm f4 + MC14 and MC20 teleconverters, a PanasonicLeica 200mm f2.8 + TC14, an Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro and an Olympus Zuiko 14 - 150mm f3.5 - 5.6mm. Even the latter lens, which is relatively cheap, still offers great performance for such a compact, light weight lens. I will not be changing camera systems and look forward to the release of the Pro 100mm f2.8 macro lens and the teased replacement(?) for the EM1X - which the new company, OM Digital Solutions, suggest will have a WOW factor. Anyway, that's my personal view of Olympus gear.

The latest version has a new 2.4MP LCD rear screen. On a personal note, I found the low res LCD a bit annoying when trying to use it for macro photography - in both low light and bright light. I would not have changed my original A7R4 for the new version, but would certainly go for the A7R4A if I was purchasing an A7R4 for the first time.

100% photography for me, even though I used to video certain types of events as part of my job. I would love to see OM Digital Solutions produce a pure photography version of my EM1X and/or EM1 mark III. Probably be a lot cheaper, too.

I have purched two or three secondhand items from MPB UK, and have been more than happy. The last item was a Sigma 180mm f2.8 OS macro lens in mint condition. I paid £800 instead of £1300 for a brand new copy. I've found their online description of products to be very accurate.
