Is there anyone on here familiar with this camera?

The exact history of Olympus of recent years seems vague at best; they seem to have gone down the drain, but the name has been dragged back to the surface.

I bought a Stylus SH-1 in 2015. Surprisingly good camera for a 'compact', It broke last September (tripod pushed over by the wind in northern Iceland). I bought the newer SH-2 from Ebay as replacement but this has a known issue in that the focusing is off (or the image is unsharp by other means).

You almost need a University degree these days to know about digital cameras! What I liked about the SH-1/2 is that it has a timelapse function where the timelapse video is 'put together' inside the camera. 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2 hours, 5 hours - all get stitched into a 20-second video of, in my opinion, good quality, no 'jumping'.

Are there any new cameras that do similar?

I also liked the 'pop colour' effect that the Stylus gave (on demand).

I'm looking for a new camera, preferably an 'SLR/system' and the 'bst' I have in mind is Nikon / Canon. Olympus has re-introduced the OM-1 as a digital version but they have skimped and it's only a 'four-thirds' and not 'full-frame'. I think full-frame is better - a 'more real quality image' rather than something of poorer-pixels but enhanced by computer trickery.

Any suggestions?

An example of the timelapse function (up the Quality to 1080 via settings):

I've done some timelapse before with an old phone. Sunsets, snowfall... it's been great.

They are going to tear down the building next door and I was thinking I'd like to make a timelapse of it. In the past, I've had an old phone laying around. This time, I don't. So... I was wondering.

For someone who's not going to get a bunch of dedicated gear for this, a D-SLR or whatever... How good is a GoPro for something like this? Passable? On their site they brag about their timelapse capability, but... is it workable? Is there something better out there for a similar price point that is as versatile as a GoPro for other non-timelapse stuff?

Hi! Came here hoping for tips or help. For a period of about 9 months I took about 28 pictures of a building being constructed. I took the pictures with my phone, and the position wasn't exactly the same. So now I wanted to turn it into a timelapse, but the tool I have (Movavi) doesn't have the option to put in position points and align (slightly rotate, zoom in/out) the pictures automatically.

Any tips here? Preferably free, because this is a one-time thing.

Hi guys. I'm an art student from Netherlands and I'm doing my art project about the "To be able to stop time". The assignment was to solve something impossible in an artistic way and thats why I chose this topic. Honestly, I'm not good to know about the "time" so I need you guys help. I can only think of the way for time to stop (like slow motion, time-lapse, etc), i need some creative thinking about this question. How you guys think about time stopping? I want to solve this question artistically, but is there any interesting topics or references that I didn't know that can help with the topic of stopping time?

I have been wanting to record timelapse (specifically hyperlapse) videos of my hikes/runs from start to finish. I’m torn between dji action 4, gopro 12, and insta360 but all don’t seem to have capabilities of filming past 90 minutes. Not sure battery power longer than that exists, but I’m a complete novice. anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

I’m curious what Sliders (preferably motorized) and Pan/Tilt gear everyone is using for Timelapse’s (for those that do use this equipment). I’m currently in the Edelkrone system, and have Motor Module V2 (previously called the Slide Module) and the HeadPlus V2. My biggest complaints are:

1. Inability to go vertical (minor)
2. Reliability issues. I control the system with my iPad Pro (I have also used an iPhone and Android phone). The app continually disconnects from the setup. When running just the slider, it’s more of an inconvenience, because the slider will continue through to its end position- the HeadPlus will not, it just stops dead in the water.

I’ve been tempted to switch to the Rhino setup, but it’s pretty pricey. Alternative options I’m considering:

1. Edelkrone Controller (see if it’s more reliable).
2. Upgrade to Motor Module V3 and Pan Pro to run a wired setup (cannot run wired setup with V2).

So really just curious what others are using and how they like it.

I have a client who wants a timelapse from sunset to sunrise over a lake, shot from inside a house.

Two questions: What is the best way to accomplish this, and what does pricing look like for something like this? Obviously pricing is dependent on a lot of factors, so I'm not sure how to price it.

Edit: I have a Sony a7III, and I can use a dummy battery for constant power, but I'm not sure if it will go all night or overheat and stop. I have two 128GB cards, and I could lower to just capturing with JPEGs. I also was thinking about just using my iPhone, but again, I'm not sure about limits and if that's an effective solution.

I'm going to be in the path of the eclipse next month in an area with a little over 3 minutes of totality. I'd love to capture a Timelapse of "the scene". In other words, a wide shot with the sun in the shot, but not a closeup on the sun (I feel like there will be thousands of these). I'd to capture maybe an hour or so leading up to and then after totality. I'd like to get the ground, the sky, and the sun in a locked off wide shot, and ultimately, it would be amazing to capture the stars coming out and filling the sky in the middle of the day.

But, I'm not really sure how to deal with such a drastic exposure change? Is this possible without special equipment like a "ramper"? How can I exposure for the stars in a night sky and also a bright sunny day without touching my camera to adjust settings?

I feel like setting to auto aperture or shutter speed is going to do weird things to the depth of field and motion blur, etc. Maybe auto iso? But I feel like even that won't be consistent and will cause flicker when I put the Timelapse together.

I will likely be using an a7siii.

Thoughts?
