Hi Gregory,

Thanks for your comment! It’s actually an older article, and I’ve since added the new OM-1 Mark II to my gear. I completely agree with you about the M1X’s ergonomics—especially with heavier lenses like the 150-600mm. However, when it comes to bird and wildlife recognition, the OM-1 Mark II is a big step forward. One key advantage is that you no longer need to stay in tracking mode for subject recognition; it works seamlessly in AF-S as well—and it’s incredibly fast. Honestly, for bird and wildlife photography, it’s hard to beat right now.

That said, I still enjoy using the M1X. These days, I mostly use it differently, like for occasional videos, portrait and architecture. It remains a fantastic camera.

Thanks again for your comment! Wishing you a great 2025, and I hope to see you soon on our OSP page soon.

Best,
Marc

Because I photograph mostly Birds and other Wildlife, I prefer the M1X and it’s Ergonomics with longer and heavy lens. Using the new 150-600 F-5/6.3 and or the 300 F-4, with either the 1.4 or 2.0 Extenders and the benefits of staying with the M1X is readily apparent!
