In this latest video, I check in after catching up on work projects and explain a major gear decision: swapping my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II for the E-M1 Mark II for my YouTube videos.

The upgrade to the E-M1 Mark II was necessary because it provides superior hybrid autofocus (phase and contrast detect), giving me the to record myself, along with the added benefit of native 4K video.
