![]() 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 ![]()
