Derek StoryHOST
That part of it, the physical aspect of the camera was a very important part of the success of the weekend.
Derek StoryHOST
In that compact camera, relatively compact camera, I should say, it has a Micro Four Thirds sensor, which is pretty good size.
Derek StoryHOST
has 20 megapixels of resolution.
Derek StoryHOST
And then attached to it, it has a 24 to 75 millimeter Leica lens with a maximum aperture of F1.7. And if you rack the zoom all the way out, it goes to F2.8. Well, that really comes in handy because the wedding was late in the day.
Derek StoryHOST
the light was getting low and there's lots of beautiful colors.
Derek StoryHOST
And I just wanted to be able to capture all that.
Derek StoryHOST
So being able to shoot at F2 or F2.8 or 4, that was really nice, especially combined with the Micro Four Thirds sensor that allowed me to start out about ISO 400 And I was shooting about ISO 1600 in the latter part of the day just to make sure that I kept my shutter speed up because, you know, people are moving, they're gesturing with their hands, all that kind of stuff.
Derek StoryHOST
Another reason why I like the L10 was its 2200, 2200 mAh lithium battery.
Allison McLaughlinGUEST
Micro four-thirds can even be two times bigger.
Court WhelanHOST
Yeah, no, micro four thirds is indeed two times.
Court WhelanHOST
I was fortunate to get a loaner of an OM system for a Namibia trip a couple months ago.
Court WhelanHOST
And yeah, it's cool.

Allison McLaughlinGUEST
One thing I will mention, the crop that you brought up earlier, that's so important.
Allison McLaughlinGUEST
And I do think this is especially where micro four third centers can also earn its keep.
Allison McLaughlinGUEST
A 100 to 400 will become that 150 to 600 equivalent on APS-C sensors and then 200 to 800 for micro four thirds.
Allison McLaughlinGUEST
So you'll get that reach without, you know, getting full frame prices.
Justin CastlesHOST
If you're happy with it, that's fine.
Greg CromieHOST
I'll get you to bring up this next little small news article about the Songdian MFT camera, the first images of this new Micro Four Thirds camera that this random company is making has surfaced online.
Justin CastlesHOST
I'm getting there.
Justin CastlesHOST
There we go.
Greg CromieHOST
They're both brands are owned by the same company, Sunita Technology.
Greg CromieHOST
So this was on show at the IFA, which is like an event in Berlin.
Greg CromieHOST
Chinese camera manufacturer has come out with this micro four thirds.
Greg CromieHOST
It looks a lot like a Sony to me.
Nigel BarrosHOST
Seeing more stuff come out about it by some like bigger YouTubers, I think it's a little bit more interesting.
Nigel BarrosHOST
It still is kind of weird that it has like a dummy MFT mount.
Nigel BarrosHOST
So none of my current Micro Four Thirds lenses would work on it because they're all electronically controlled.
Nigel BarrosHOST
So you have to have like manually controlled lenses Cinema lenses or just like manual photo lenses for it to work because you can't control the aperture or anything like that Inside of the GoPro itself So that's my only hesitation is that like if GoPro for some reason sent it to me I would have to get some manual like lenses to use on it and I've seen some kind of like harsh clipping highlights with some of the footage that's the only like two big downsides that I've seen.
Greg ThurtleGUEST
15 years probably.
Greg ThurtleGUEST
And then I added in Panasonic GH cameras, Micro Four Thirds, because they were quite good for static stuff.
Greg ThurtleGUEST
And then I've added various things over the times.
Greg ThurtleGUEST
And more recently, I've started adding in Osmo Pockets.
Ryan SelvyHOST
And for the longest time, they had proprietary lenses that only worked with GoPro, were made for GoPro, you name it.
Ryan SelvyHOST
Now, according to Petapixel's Jeremy Gray, it says that GoPro is officially joining the Micro Four Thirds system.
Ryan SelvyHOST
That is a way of connecting lenses to camera bodies, and it is more of a universal standard.
Ryan SelvyHOST
There are other cameras that are kind of also ditching this and then going back into the propriety, which is like, boo, lame, like it's better when everything works together.
Ryan SelvyHOST
But the thing about the one that they did release, the Mission 1 Pro ILS Micro Four Thirds mount, is that it is an entirely dumb mount.
Ryan SelvyHOST
So it's not electronic communication.
Ryan SelvyHOST
It's not going through and having systems.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
That's fine.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
GoPro has officially joined the Micro Four Thirds system, which is weird because they're already using it.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
Yeah, they're already using it, my guess.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
Here's what I think happened, Jordan.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
You tell me if this is what happened.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
GoPro did this, and the Micro Four Thirds group, which has no teeth and no power, sent a polite email asking if they would just like to join the group.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
It costs nothing, and they could just put their name on it because it's a little weird that they're not part of the group.
Chris NiccollsHOST
It's not hard to do.
James ArteusHOST
I think, you know, we're seeing a lot of formidable Lumix cameras now.
James ArteusHOST
This may be slightly damning the Micro Four Thirds system, but I think it's fair to say the Micro Four Thirds system was not embraced by a certain tier of photographer or videographer.
James ArteusHOST
And you're seeing as Panasonic moves to the full frame market, it's being perceived differently, which is just the realities of the market.
James ArteusHOST
Yeah, it will be really interesting to see.
Jen RitchieHOST
Those are good questions.
Cari SiebritsGUEST
Um, yeah, yeah, maybe for Ron first, I haven't noticed, um, much of a difference in terms of moving from, um, full frame to OM, which is a Micro Four Thirds sensor.
Jen RitchieHOST
Mm-hmm.
Cari SiebritsGUEST
Um, the biggest thing I've noticed, I, I've always heard people say the best camera is the one you have on you, right? And I totally 100% agree with that.
Adrian StockHOST
which is, I guess in some ways, the successor to the Olympus Pen F.
Adrian StockHOST
So it is a small camera, micro four thirds of the digital pen family, but these days under the OM system brand, since they bought Olympus quite a few years ago now.
Adrian StockHOST
Yeah.
Adrian StockHOST
This one caught my interest.
Chris MarquardtHOST
One of the reasons I've never closely looked into Olympus or ORM system is pretty much because I'm married to one system and I really value my muscle memory.
Chris MarquardtHOST
So there's a thing if I don't need to switch, why should I? Yep.
Chris MarquardtHOST
And switching over to Micro Four Thirds would be... would mean switching an entire system over including lenses and and things so
Jeremiah ChechikHOST
yeah i don't see i don't see a need to do
