OM-D cameras that have Pro Capture technology open up so much additional potential for a photographer to confidently capture precise action moments. Shooting with Olympus camera gear, specifically the OM-D E-M1X (as well as the OM-D E-M1 Mark III with which I currently only have limited experience), expands bird photography into new and exciting territory. Olympus OM-D E-M1X + M.Zuiko PRO 40-150 mm f/2.8 with M.Zuiko MC-20 teleconverter 300 mm, efov 600 mm, f/5.6, 1/2500, ISO-3200, Pro Capture H, subject distance 8 metres Overall Olympus Impression Folks who love the Nikon 1 format are often loathe to part with their camera equipment. Many Nikon 1 owners have added additional bodies, back-up copies of lenses and additional batteries to extend the usable life of their gear. They realize that there is nothing else on the market that provides them with the same combination of size/weight/reach. Nikon 1 V2 + 1 Nikon CX 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 300 mm, efov 810 mm, f/5.6, 1/8000, ISO-4000Ĭurrent owners of Nikon 1, and specifically the 1 Nikkor CX 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 zoom lens, seldom part with their gear. If anyone wants to get into this system, they would need to search the used camera market. The Nikon 1 camera system was discontinued by Nikon back in July 2018. This combination truly is a ‘shoot all day’ solution. Nikon 1 V3 + 1 Nikkor CX 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 132 mm, efov 356 mm, f/5.6, 1/1600, ISO-640 Overall Nikon 1 Impressionįor photographers looking for a small, lightweight birding kit that provides an excellent balance of size, weight, and reach there really is nothing that matches a Nikon 1 V2 or V3 paired up with a 1 Nikkor CX 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 zoom lens. I would much rather get to know my camera gear and share real life images and my experiences with my readers. I have never had an interest in producing this kind of material. There are plenty of other websites that do an excellent job producing that kind of content. As regular readers know this is not a camera gear review site. The information in this article is simply my experience working with specific cameras and lenses. That is my personal preference and does not mean that larger sensor cameras may not be the best choice for other photographers. I came to the conclusion over 5 years ago that I much prefer using smaller sensor cameras, and I have no need or interest in using APS-C or full frame gear. Let’s be clear upfront that this article is not intended to comment on the use of other camera systems and formats. This is a very extensive article, so grab yourself a cup of coffee… or make a pot of tea… and be prepared to spend some time. The intent of this article is to describe my experiences using both camera systems. Over the past couple of days I’ve received a number of personal emails asking me about using Nikon 1 versus Olympus for bird photography.
