Nestled between 1" sensor all-in-ones (like Sony RX10 IV) and APS-C sized sensor cameras, I like Micro 4/3 for a balance of sensor size vs a telephoto that I can handhold for a sustained period.
I'm about to jump on this... but the other camera I was considering (sometimes around this price) is the Canon R50... anyone with experience or knowledge can chime in?
I'd like a good basic birding camera. How does this rate for that purpose?
The om-D om-1 is better. I bought mine for not much more than this refurbished from om system eBay. No lens on that though at this price. Generally speaking, Panasonic is better for video and om is better for birding. The main difference is phase detect autofocus on the om cameras, and AI bird detect on the om-1 specifically. It's just a night and day difference in performance for capturing birds in flight.
Edit: I paid 879 for the om-1, so it's definitely more speedy, and it's currently about a hundred more than that it you can look for sales or coupons.
