What did Olympus do wrong bros?

They didnt market themselves as a magic talisman that will give you super skills if you buy their product.

They marketed themselves like a DSLR company would.

Actual truth: Olympus could not compete with phones in the image quality department. Early models were very problematic. Weather sealing works or it doesn't, cameras were advertised like they were waterproof but weren't. Most appealing lenses are not weather resistant either, mostly just big "pro" ones. Fuji and sony APS-C literally mogged them to death, so hard olympus asked JIP to take their name off the cameras out of embarrassment.

Panasonic saw the writing on the wall and made all their m43 cameras extremely video focused.

They were going broke as fuck from huge amounts of internal corruption and by the time it was found out they were already doomed. Ignore any other answers. Market share, sensor size, mirrorless revolution, whatever, all is surprisingly lackluster compared to the immediate effect of "There are a missing 117 billion yen listed in the books and no one can find it."

Not the other anon but I'm Australian so it was a 300D and it cost me 1700 dollarydoos with the 18-55mm which was about 1200USD back then. 6 fucking megapixels and if I remember rightt, 2.5 or 3 frames a second on continuous? Fuck me I thought it was goddamned space magic.

If they gave the TG-8 a m4/3 sensor and a prime lens, it'd save the entire brand.

They're an outdoors only brand now. I hope it works out for them, but nowadays other brands can weather seal their cameras. They should be ok though as long as fujifilm doesn't release a camera with sealing+working AF. If that happens it might be over...
>>
>>4374157
Other brands could always seal their cameras, to about the same degree. Olympus didn't introduce an innovation there, and their "weather sealing" is most likely worse than nikons. IRL the D850 is basically waterproof, and the only time it got any water in it was when it was tested alongside an olympus. The same test almost killed a sony that was also filmed being shot in the rain for 1hr without problems.

HOW?

Well, OM System also paid off petapixel to outright lie about the G9II's low light performance and claim the OM-1 was better (IT IS LITERALLY 1.7 STOPS OF DR BEHIND AT EVERY ISO), so we can assume something about olympussy's past behavior from this.
When Olympus/OM system provides anything to a reviewer, they pay them off to make olympus look more favorable.

Add in sample size and a few forum posts about olympus garbage dying from light moisture and olympus starts to look more like sony

I have NEVER HEARD OF WEATHER SEALED PANASONIC GEAR DYING IN THE RAIN PERIOD

What phone has a m4/3 quality camera?
>>
>>4374164
Why are you mad, schitzo? If others could always seal to the same degree, why don't they get the stuff IP-rated? And offer warranty based on water ingression?
>>
>>4374169
Flagship phone cameras exceeded olympus m43 quality last year.

The only m43 system that can still outdo a phone is more expensive, FF sized panasonic m43.

>>4374172
>Flagship phone cameras exceeded olympus m43 quality last year
Any with decent ergonomics?
>>
>>4374171
>IP rated
Olympus's IP rating, in legal text, is worthless.
>Offer warranty based on water
Olympus didn't make this company policy.

They were never better sealed than canon/nikon pro gear. The only gotcha was they were sealed despite being as far from pro gear as possible. They are also less sealed than panasonic pro gear. Same size userbase, you can find user reports of oly water damage but none for the gh6, g9, etc.

It's a myth and it's no wonder olympus sold the camera division instead of some of the lawsuit ridden medical business
>olympus sued for a medical device that overinflates people with gas
>>
>>4374169
It's a way of bringing down people who are, in the view of these people 'low' and 'stupid' enough to use the system. Only full frame is good enough, and everyone should think that. Otherwise they should just go and shoot with their phones, it's literally the same.

Oh yeah, and don't go to the phone photo general and after that check out what crop cameras output. Lens quality has NOTHING to do with image quality. Only MEGAPIXELS and SENSOR SIZE. Just remember that, retard.

Call them consoomers because you think the aspect of the photo they’re after doesnt or shouldnt matter, ie: sharpness hate cult, softness hate cult, grain hate cult, tonality hate cult
Call them posers or gearfags
Call them talentless for buying an aid, call them a drab corner snapper for buying a leica

But they’re not quite the same as the man who buys the new iphone because the screen is better and the animations are smoother

the camera industry is basically a cartel at this point. They don't want improvements, they just want to keep it the same mostly so they don't have to work as hard. There's no disruptor because they've already been disrupted and they're just getting by with whoever survived.

that's a matter of discipline not the issue of camera model. Digital tools make it so easy that even if you like the sooc photo, people will still try to tweak it or put a filter on like an addiction.

But Fuji is the GOAT for SOOC jpegs.

>if you want 0 edits life buy a nikon
If you want 0 edits life buy a 4x5.
>>
>>4374349
No. Panasonic, olympus, and pentax have awful colors no matter what.

Sony and canon have bad or good colors depending on the model. All the sony hate comes from amateur videotards not knowing how to use the a7ii and a7iii because sony’s auto white balance algorithm fucking sucked. All the canon love comes from the 5d classic and 5d mark 3 but other canons are hard to tell apart from a sony honestly.

Nikon is ALWAYS great.

>>4374353
Fuji jpegs look like puke. All the colors get averaged together. Zombie skin. Beige eyeballs. Pallid lips. Pink teeth.

But if you shoot nothing but concrete at golden hour and backs of heads in B&W they’re great!

>>
>>4374600
Which one has more dials (do you need them )and which one has a viewfinder (do you want it), which one has more lens options on the useed market for cheaper
>>
>>4374509
That's because Fuji came into the market to milk hipsters who thought £250 DSLRs were bad because of their price
>>
>>4374058
Never been the case, at least for USD pricing on new models. Entry level has been $500-800 for the last twenty years. D40 launched at $600, D60 at $750, T3 at $600, T2i at $900, etc. The lowest you'd ever see new, is $400 for a few weeks a year on an older Rebel, or like $450-550 for a two lens kit.
If you consider inflation, an entry level price of $800 today would be a similar equivalent of $500-600 10-20 years ago.
>>
>>4374809
It will be for a very casual edc camera (90% photos 10% video), honestly think I could get away without an evf because the video on the fuji looks a lot better
