  • Best m43 camera anywhere near its price
Color: Black Style: Body
You can read professional reviews of what't inside this. In its price range, although I think I got it on sale, this is the best m43 option for most people who are not convinced that more expensive gear means better images. The other guys' m43 near this price range have a bizarre hybrid focus system that once you push it you will see the issues. The phase type focus in this may not be the world's best but its a step up. The camera is well made, weather sealed (not waterproof) and yields excellent raw images (I have not shot a jpeg with any dSLR in many years so no opinion). It has some computational goodies, like stacked focus with appropriate lens, hi resolution mode and neutral density if that matters, and records quality non-log 4k video. I've been using m43 and ff side by side for more years than I want to admit--the Image Quality to camera heft ratio of m43 is unbeatable, particularly if you are fond of long teles (see comments about focus). The EVF is physically smaller than what you will get in FF so its important to block light coming in around the eye--true for all smaller EVF cameras. Otherwise it has every read-out you can imagine, some of which are even utile. One real knock, sadly common to too many dSLRs, is that the manual seems to have been translated from the original Klingon by a Wookie. You may have to do a web search to find out how to do what you want to do if you can't penetrate the manual. ... show more

  • Extraordinary capability in a tiny package Extraordinary capability in a tiny package
Color: Black Style: Body
I own an OM System OM-1 and an Olympus E-M1 Mk 3, along with a PEN E-P7. I've been a four-thirds and micro four-thirds shooter for almost 16 years. My wife and I went to Charleston, SC over the holidays to visit her daughter and son-in-law. I brought along the OM-1 and the E-P7. I shot nearly everything with the E-P7. I did so because it's much easier to manage a smaller camera when you're out and about with family and a toddler. I love the E-P7, but there were times when I wished I had an electronic viewfinder. I decided that the OM-5 might offer a "best of both worlds" solution. It's very light, yet packs all of the features of the E-M1 Mk3, minus the custom settings on the mode dial. Handheld high-resolution is marvelous, as is Live ND (neutral density). The IBIS everything it's been praised for. As a smaller body, I probably wouldn't put anything bigger than the 12-100mm/f4 on it, and that's perhaps pushing it a bit. But put the 14-150mm/f4-5.6 zoom on it, and you have a very versatile, capable little camera you can carry on a sling all day, hardly knowing it's there. With a small prime or compact zoom, a wrist strap is sufficient. If you wish to step-up to bigger lenses like the 40-150/f2.8, or something like the 100-400mm zoom, you'll want to add the grip. But for a compact travel camera for anything other than a safari, it's a remarkable camera. Worth every penny. ... show more

  • Great camera and system Great camera and system
Color: Silver Style: Body
After owning this camera for six months I have decided to update my review. This is the best camera I have ever used. Why? It gives better detail and sharpness than any other system even with inexpensive kit lenses. It is light, has a higher level of advancements, and is simply a more enjoyable photo experience than other camera systems. Focus is fast and the 2x form factor for lenses is awesome. Over the years I have purchased and used a lot of cameras both DSLR and mirrorless. I have used both full frame and aps-c. I have used Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm. The om-5 is better. I imagine it can only be outperformed by the higher priced Om-1. Many people will not give this system a chance because they think micro four thirds can't possibly be as good as aps-c or full frame. Without trying it out many reviewers just pass over this format. They are missing out. I recommend you do what I did - buy a used Olympus and see for yourself. Once I saw the sharpness and detail I was sold. ... show more

  • Nice, but not the feature set I needed
Color: Black Style: Body
Several years ago, I switched from a Pen-F (digital) to an OMD EM1 mk III, to get the hand-held high res feature. The EM1-3 has been great, but for my purposes, a travel outfit where both the camera and the lenses are truly lightweight, the EM1-3 is a bit heavy. Since the OM-5 has the same 20mp sensor as my EM1-3 but weighs almost 7 ounces less, it seemed worth getting to save nearly half a pound, which is a lot in a m43 system. The OM-5 is very nice and has a better (OLED) finder than the EMI-1. But the OM-5 has only a slight bit of a handgrip. If you stick with the small prime lenses, the OM-5 is a dream. But if you mount one of the bigger lenses (still small, compared to other formats) you'll probably want more of a grip. Handgrips are available, but they add 3-4 ounces at which point the weight savings vs. the EM1-3 is negligible. The other thing that didn't quite work was the single custom memory setting on the OM-5. The EM1 mk III has four. Because there are so many settings on these cameras, it makes sense to set up your camera in advance for different situations. (And please, I own Nikon and Canon systems and they also have lengthy menus with too many options; this is not something unique to one brand). It's possible to re-assign the buttons on the OM-5 for use as additional custom memories, but this turned out to be kind of a hassle compared to a single knob that says Custom 1, Custom 2, etc. So I am sticking with the EM1 mk III. Custom mode #1 is my go-to, f/4 at ISO 200; Custom #2 is exposure brackets at ISO 200, Custom #3 is exposure brackets at Auto ISO for low light, and Custom #4 is handheld high res. I can do all these things without touching a single button. Just turn the camera on, and rotate the knob. Of course Custom is just what it says. If you don't have requirements like mine, the OM-5 is a lovely camera. Nothing in full frame or even APS can match what these little cameras can do without taking on more weight. ... show more

  • great for macro
Color: Black Style: Body
I bought this a s a gift for someone. I also added the 60mm macro lens. You will find many negative reviews such as outdated technology and small sensor pixel size. Ok these concerns may be valid, but this camera is great for macro photography in this combo. I have an R7 with a laowa 60mm lens and have to say that the om-5 is much nicer to use as it is much smaller and much lighter. For those that do not have the money for the OM1 II this is a great choice. I also like the automated focus bracketing. The results are real good. ... show more

  • After over 60 years of photography this is the best camera I have used.
Color: Silver Style: Body
I started with photography back in 1959 and shot with Nikon for over 40 years and later with LUMIX, Fuji film, and now the OM 5. I moved to the OM 5 because it was the lightest camera I could find with the quality I demanded. I have been a newspaper photographer, a freelance photographer,a wedding photographer and today a street photographer. This camera produces as good an image as any I have ever used. For some one thinking it is to complex a camera to learn on there is the “P” setting. You can grow to be a good photographer using this camera, if you let it teach you. The camera companies spend hundreds of dollars in research to make these systems that are a marvel of AI. This could well be the only camera you need. The lens available are plentiful and can often be found used. Just a really great system. ... show more

  • Traveler's Tool
Color: Black Style: Body
The OM-5 was released Fall 2022 with mixed reviews. Disappointed experts felt that this product was a missed opportunity for OM Digital Solutions to unleash itself as a new and innovative company because the OM-5 was an incremental improvement to the EM-5 Mark III. The body is identical to the EM-5 Mark III, no inclusion of the improved menu system from the OM-1, carryover of the older sensor and no adoption of USB-C, etc. Despite these valid points and after months of research, I purchased the OM-5 because it is one of few cameras designed for travel and adventure. My requirements for small, lightweight, and weather sealing narrowed the choices to Sony, Fuji Film and OM Systems. Once you factor in the size and weight of the lens, the OM-5 remained small, lightweight, and weather sealed. There is no perfect camera but the OM-5 met my requirements for a traveler’s tool. ... show more

  • Much Better Than Expected
Color: Black Style: Body
I currently own other cameras (full frame Sony and Canon), but I was looking for a small, well-built camera for travel. I have owned other micro four thirds cameras in the past (mostly Panasonic), but never really liked they way details were smeared. This camera is very different and way better than any micro four thirds camera I have ever used before! The AF tracking is very good (more accurate than my Canon R6II, almost as good as my Sony A7c). The detail capture and IQ are incredible! Battery life is very good as well. Overall I'm very impressed with this camera and would highly recommend it. ... show more
