![]() Combined with fast autofocus and good wildlife photography lenses (like the Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 or Olympus 300 f/4), these cameras make attractive wildlife setups, especially for the price. This includes a feature called Pro Capture (AKA a back-in-time buffer), which takes a constant buffer of photos and lets you save images taken slightly before you depressed the shutter button. ![]() Some Panasonic cameras also support other features like anamorphic lenses and 1080p footage at 300 FPS, which even the top-end full-frame mirrorless cameras generally lack.Īs for OM System/Olympus, they have been putting a lot of effort into computational photography and unique features not found on other cameras today. The G9, GH5/GH5II and GH6 all offer 10-bit internal 4K video recording and adjustable zebras – specifications that are usually found only on more expensive cameras. Both provide reasonably-priced models that are typically packed with features.įor example, Panasonic has an emphasis on video. There are two companies that make micro four thirds cameras today: Panasonic and OM System (formerly Olympus). Specifically, I chose the Panasonic G9 thanks to its video features and wide range of lenses. However, I also had interest in a few other areas like videography and insect photography that I felt would be better with a second camera. I considered quite a few options, including Fuji X and Nikon Z, but I settled on a micro four thirds camera instead. (See Nikon DX vs Nikon FX.) This camera makes a near-perfect birding combination with the 500mm f/5.6 PF lens. It’s a Nikon DX camera, which is Nikon’s label for APS-C sensors. When I became serious about bird photography, I got the Nikon D500. Why I Use Both Micro Four Thirds and APS-C Canon stands out by using a very slightly smaller sensor in their APS-C DSLRs compared to Nikon, Pentax, and Fuji, and I encourage you to read the article What is Crop Factor? for more information. Not all APS-C sensors are the same size, either. ![]() In fact, the area of an APS-C sensor is about 1.6 times the area of a micro four thirds sensor, albeit with an aspect ratio of 3:2 for APS-C rather than 4:3 for micro four thirds. You can get an idea for this difference from this image, with a full-frame sensor included for comparison: To-scale representation of three sensor formatsĪs you can see, the difference between APS-C and micro four thirds is a bit less than the difference between full frame an APS-C. Of course, the most obvious difference between APS-C and micro four thirds is sensor size. Table of Contents A Little Bit About the Formats ![]()
