Alright, I couldn't figure out why Olympus made this camera: https://asia.olympus-imaging.com/product/dslr/em1x/index.html … It's a micro 4/3 sensor at 20MP for $3k. By comparison, Sony A7RIV is $3k and has a 67MP image. Both can do a composite image with Sony @ 240MP and Olympus @ 50MP. Just made no sense.

Then I stumbled onto the reason the Olympus could be the most bad ass thing if you do sports, event, wedding, or wild life photography: https://www.getolympus.com/us/en/m-zuiko-ed-300mm-f4-0-is-pro.html … That's a 300mm lens, but wait! On a micro 4/3 that's a 600mm lens! With the OM's 7.5 stops of image stabilization?!

That means you can do *hand held* 600mm high speed shots with a small body and lens by comparison to a aps-c or full frame. It can even do composite 50MP @ 600mm hand held, and it has an ability to capture 60fps rapid shooting plus a special 35 previous shot mode.

Not only that, but the OM can do: * Focus stacking up to 999 images at 10 focus points. * Live composite that shows you long exposures as they develop. * ND filter simulation for long exposures. * Anti-flicker shooting to compensate for artificial light flickers.

Other lenses can go to an F1.2: https://cameras.olympus.com/zuiko/en-us/lens-gallery/ … And since they're micro 4/3 they end up being very small and light compared to other cameras. If you were doing travel photography it'd be pretty damn good too. Now I see why they focused on the micro 4/3 format.

The 600mm lens also has a 1.4x teleconverter pushing it to 840mm, with OIS in body and in lens synced, that's just nuts. Hand held 840mm is crazy. It also has a close focus distance of 1.4m (less with the teleconverter) so you can use it directly as a macro lens too. Crazy!
