Sunday Showcase: 4/3 Camera Systems, Interested?

Pictured here are two cameras that were recently announced from Nikon and Olympus. 

Nikon's AW1 is a throwback to the Nikonos years and is a fully waterproof (49 feet) mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. It boasts 14 mega pixel C-format CMOS sensor. Has an ISO range from 100-6400 and built in GPS with a compass, altimeter and depth meter.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 has a history too, going back to the first year OM became their flagship camera which was 1972. The 2013 version features a 16.3 mega pixel Live CMOS sensor and has an ISO range from 100-256000. It has a five axis stabilization built into the camera and is weather, dust, splash and freezeproof.

My question to you, the amateur, semi-professional, professional photographer, would you trade your more traditional DSLR camera setup in for a 4/3 mirrorless system? If so why? I look forward to reading why this 4/3 set up is appealing to you.

Both of these camera systems will be available at Lighthaus Camera. We have four locations across the islands to serve you. Two on Maui, one in Kona, and one on the gathering isle, Oahu.
