I am a relative new convert to the Olympus M43 system. I have been a Nikon user since my teenage years many, many years ago. My most recent Nikon cameras are the 850 and 500 and am so far still in possession of them. I've been slowly selling off the Nikon lenses which I have somewhat duplicated with the Olympus system. The new OM-1 is on preorder.

My question to all the HH is why do you think Olympus or OM System cameras are rarely listed in most "best of.."
cameras or lens systems? I have been very happy with my Olympus OM-E1-Mark 3 and I primarily do wildlife and landscape/abandoned. The entire system, other than the pro 150-400mm lens, is a pleasure for their weight. I can use the camera for hours without tiring. I find that frequently people snub this system --which I am taking a risk and assuming pertains to the Lumix GH M43 systems as well. Once you learn the Olympus system--and there is a learning curve--
the images are great. I can produce large size photos and the camera is only 20MP. I look forward to all the advancements the OM-1 promises to be.

So-please explain to me (in a nice manner) why photographers seem to feel other systems are far superior to Olympus.
TIA for the input.

I was just trying to provide some well-earned experience.
I thought that I was just recommending that you try the Topaz recommended workflow.
I am wrong. It seems that I said:

"For BEST Results you MUST use their workflow!"

I find that their products are fast, easy, and give very good results when using their default settings.
As a matter of fact, the DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, and Gigapixel AI all will process a batch of pics while you check your email.
I know that everyone has a favorite workflow that they have developed over the years through trial and error that works very well for them.
So, I sould have said that the Topaz products defaults are a great place to start.

So now I recommend that: For BEST Results you Should Try their recommended workflow below and observe the "if needed" statements.

Being color blind I do respect everyone's "the individual's taste/judgement".

There is always at least one, usually many. You think the only reason to buy a new camera is better IQ. That is the last reason to buy a new camera. If you have a modern DSLR or mirrorless camera you’re probably already getting great IQ. Every top manufacturer makes cameras that can give you great IQ. I buy new cameras because they offer new features and improvements in things like AF speed, frame rate and low light capability. Maybe it’s improved ergonomics, maybe you like the way it looks. There are many reasons a new camera might bring you more joy when shooting that have nothing to do with IQ.

A correctly setup and adjusted EVF will show the image as it will appear on screen after capturing it. On my OM-D if I am shooting in vivid the image in the EVF will show the effect of the vivid setting. I assume this the case with Canoicon as well but I have not specifically tested for that on my Z7. I have found that the Z7 EVF features are not as advanced as on the OM-D but that is because Canicon is still playing catch-up in the mirrorless market.

I recommend you rent or borrow a mirrorless camera and try it for yourself. See if you like it. Some people prefer EVF others prefer optical. Go with what works for you.
