Hi Joel,

I’m sorry to hear that. While the weather sealing on OM System cameras is generally very good, I suppose there is a limit to what they can take as with all models. Did you find out whether it was a fault of the specific camera you had?

All the best

Hi Simon,

Thanks for reading and your comment. I’m of the opinion that Canon cameras are very good. I started on Canon and owned the R5 for over a year and really enjoyed it. It really is the lens lineup that just doesn’t offer as many middle ground options as other systems which causes concern. I’d love to see Canon start to offer more high quality mid level lenses. I haven’t shot with the R7 specifically so am not really qualified to comment on that specific model. I may well start to test more Canon models later in the year if the lens options open up more.

All the best
David

I’m surprised Canon doesn’t feature here at all. What’s your view on the R7 for example which is relatively lightweight? I know the Canon lens line is limited but seems to be getting better and the compatible Sigma 18-50mm is well regarded.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Mark,

I hope you enjoyed your Korea trip. I think the OM5 II is that real, lightweight, complete package that has plenty of features but just lacks some of the high performance/speed features of the OM-3 and OM1 II. I haven’t shot it myself yet but may try and get hold of one if my planned move back to Scotland comes to fruition next year as I think it would be pretty well suited to Scottish landscapes. Ah, I’m afraid I dont have too much faith in Sony weather sealing. Om System and Nikon are the ones I trust the most in bad weather.

All the best
David
