Micro four thirds is enjoying a bit of resurgence right now, with its lighter and smaller size, lower cost, and array of excellent lenses making it a fantastic choice for a wide number of genres and applications. Is it the ideal system for street photography? This great video makes a case for why that might be so.

Coming to you from Robin Wong, this insightful video makes a strong case for why the Olympus OM-D E-M10 line of cameras is perfect for street photography. It used to be that those who avoided micro four thirds did so mostly because the sensor was simply too small to provide decent noise performance and autofocus was often too slow to be trustworthy in more demanding situations. However, in recent years, sensor technology has come a long way, as has autofocus performance, and that small size, which was one seen as a hindrance, is now fantastic for anyone who wants a portable but high-performing kit or who wants to remain discreet, as is usually the case for street photography. On top of that, many micro four thirds cameras contain innovative features not found elsewhere, so if you haven’t given it a look in a while, now is a good time. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Wong.
