Thanks Don, fun video. I am spending 9 weeks in Europe over July & August. I am taking an OM-5, an EM-1 Mki and 5 lenses that will all fit in 1 bag that will go under the seat in the plane 😊. Then, I bought a camera sling bag from Amazon for about $USD30, that will fit both cameras with lenses attached, plus an extra lens. MFT is the best travel kit. 🎉🎉🎉

That should be a fun trip! Indeed, M43 is the best for travel. Thanks for watching and commenting!

To keep memories, the best thing is a phone. Always there for you. To make comercial photos, maybe full frame is needed. But if you want to go outside to “fishing” the ligh and maybe get a good one to keep, nothing beats m43, especially in the zoom range. It’s for the ones who enjoy the journey of going out and shoot.

Great memories. Must have been a great moment for you. Totally agree on M43 being a perfect system for having fun.

Thank you! It was a wonderful memory to re-live!

So true. I lived in Uruguay for a while & I traveled by bus through the country with my micro 4/3 gear & I watched other photographers lugging bags with Canon cameras & lenses. It was so much easier to carry my complete set of cameras & lenses. To me there was no loss in quality or results that I achieved. I actually sold my Canon gear for the micro 4/3 set up before I moved to Uruguay & this nothing against the Canon system, it is great, but for traveling light micro 4/3 wins.

Great video! I sold all my ffsony gear and purchased a om-1mii for all the reasons you stated. Also 65 years old and enjoying m43!

I enjoy the M43 Olympus gear and love how compact and lightweight it is. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Full frame lenes are still huge!

Indeed they are. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I have an OM-D E-M10 mk I, the name is a bit of a mouthful but it's a great camera lol. Definitely feels like a quantum leap in portability over even a crop sensor DSLR. Small, non-intimidating looking cameras are great for discreet photography as well. I do need to get an actual autofocus lens for it, so far I've just been shooting with adapted film lenses.

The EM10 is a great camera! One of the 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 IIR kit lenses would be a good start. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You’ve got a nice setup! I took my family on the ford Tri motor a few weeks ago in Albuquerque, it was great! I took my all-in-one (24-600mm equivalent ) 1 inch sensor, Sony RX10 IV with me, it worked great!

Another Tri-Motor alumni! I didn't mention it in the video, but the Tri-Motor I flew on in 1964 is now hanging in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The Sony sounds like quite a camera! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Oh I agree, it's what I love m43 for. Especially with longer lenses, 35mm-size frame cameras are HEAVY. Have a few, often avoid them.

The weight advantage is more valuable than some would imagine. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I apsolutly agree !

Very true, just seen the new LUMIX S9 full frame, small)ish) camera but any decent lens is the size of Nebraska so pointless. Also a 20 mega pixel M43 sensor has slightly better resolution than 35mm film.

Funny / perfect timing. A few days ago I had an opportunity to take my first helicopter ride, with just fifteen minutes’ notice. I had my DSLR (Canon 6D + 24-70mm f2.8) with me, and it did just fine, but I found myself wishing I had had my E-P5 instead, for all the reasons you mentioned. I’ll be prepared next time, though, and it will be interesting to compare the results!
