I've only had the OM Systems OM1 a few hours and am trying to figure it out. Main thing I hate is the feel and placement of the dials. I'm just used to 25 years of Canon. Like a few here age has made carrying the 500mm f4 a burden so this is a lot lighter. Shot this Digger Wasp (?) in my pollinator garden which is attracting dozens of butterflies and wasps.
Can anyone who had the Mark II from Mark I comment on the feel of the dials? Hate to start a new thread.
1/2000 sec f/4 with FL-700WR flash set on TTL about 9 feet away on a very windy afternoon.
Brown Thrasher in a mud puddle. My first time with a camera that follows the eye of a subject. I'm using a tripod with a gimbal head and mounted a red dot sight. So far enjoying the OM1 but really miss the SLR view.

I have no idea why you would use a tripod, gimbal head, and a red dot sight. Your camera would easily capture that handheld.
Then you have grossly over-sharpened the image, giving it a harsh chaotic look, IMO.
No idea why one would miss a SLR view, as it does not show you the correct exposure the sensor is capturing, while an EVF does.
