I recently stumbled on a video by Pangolin Photo Safaris that nicely explains the pros and cons between Micro Four Thirds (MFT) and Full Frame camera systems. The only disappointment was that the gentleman representing MFT didn’t exude much confidence.
He gave some good arguments for the Olympus OM-1 and 150-400mm gear he was shooting, but he was a bit hesitant overall. I would have loved to have the same discussion with the lovely young lady taking Full Frame’s side.
Either way, they both gave good arguments for their respective camera systems. I’m a huge fan of Micro Four Thirds which I started trying in 2008. I began the system with Lumix gear but have now switched almost exclusively to Olympus–now called OM Digital Solutions.
One of the very positive attributes of the MFT system, which they didn’t mention, is both Olympus and Lumix share their lens mount. So if like me, you decide to move from one brand to the other, your lenses still work. No more having to sell all the lenses you spent a lot of money on to move to a better camera. Above is one of my videos comparing the two categories of cameras.
