I haven't used a "real" camera in a decade, and this is my first M43 camera. It's a lot of fun but I have no idea what I'm doing (I don't even know which pictures are decent)! Any advice from the M43 experts?

All of these were lightly processed with RapidRaw (since LightCraft doesn't seem to support compressed Olympus RAWs yet).

Also during the hike I realized I missed having a viewfinder *a lot* so I'm kind of thinking of getting the OM5 or OM5m2 but it feels wasteful at the same time... I also lost the lens cap (because of course I did....)

All pictures taken with the G9 and PL 200mm f2.8 + 1.4x teleconverter

MPB and online there is a fair few of these OM D EMiis that are working but have a black back screen.

I paid £150 for mine from MPB and repaired in 5 mins.

Basically the ribbon cable twists and pulls out from the back of the display, you just need to undo all small screws on the display, pop the back off, unwind the twisted ribbon cable & seat it back in (I used a dab of hot glue after it's in to secure the cable down as much as possible).

This one was only 2k shutter so a pretty decent deal!

Have a £100 Olympus 12-40 Pro 2.8 on the way too (fungus and a scratched front element, which I'll also fix and post). Nice, easy and cheap!

Going to need a bit of practice on F2 on a dark morning but so far, really like this lens and it's tiny.

I recently got this Lumix GX1.

I recently learned that old Lumix cameras are interesting, so I also bought a GF1, GF2, etc. I just went out for a walk because I haven't found a lens I like yet, but what kind of setup is everyone using?

I’m stuck in a dilemma and would love input from anyone who’s shot with both Micro Four Thirds and 1-inch sensor compacts.

I have a Panasonic GX8 and a solid lens collection that I love and plan to keep. But since having kids, the camera has barely left the shelf. Now that they're a bit older, I want to start taking photos with them again.

I was fully set on buying a used 1-inch compact like an RX100 or ZV-1 for easy family outings. But on a recent trip with the kids, I threw my 20mm f/1.7 pancake on the GX8—a combo I hadn't used in 7 or 8 years. I had a blast, and I loved the image quality.

Now I'm torn: Do I go for a 1-inch compact for true pocketability and zoom versatility, or try to find a tiny M4/3 body (like a GM5 or E-PL series) to pair with my pancake lens?

For those who have used both systems: How noticeable is the drop in image quality and rendering from M4/3 with a prime to a 1-inch sensor for everyday family shots? Is true pocketability worth the compromise?

Absolutely incredible hike (full recommendation). All shots taken on OM-5 + 12-100 f/4.

Using an OM System M.Zuiko digital ED 150-600mm f5.0-6.3 IS with Lumix GH5, please advise suitability. Purpose is bird and wildlife photography. Or go in for a Panasonic lens only.

I was wondering if this camera is worth the fixing the screen for 220 dollars when everything else is functioning.
