OM-5 Mark II BODY BLACK

Yeah I can see why it seems like we’ve had 3 cameras that are the same that have slowly chipped away at what was needed. I don’t think that’s especially fair when looking at the E-M5.3 and the OM-5. They are based on two different “1 series” cameras, E-M1.2 and E-M1.3. The major missteps were: The E

Hi OP, welcome to GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome/Sickness) and Analysis Paralysis :) If you want to take photos of mostly static people, I would recommend Fuji X-E5. I find it has more pleasing skin tones than OM. Fuji also has shallower DOF (Depth of Field) due to larger sensor so that there will b

What I expect: OM-5 II update with USB-C and new menu system will continue to use IMX272 sensor with the same PDAF points, but with a TruePic X processor, tamed down a bit for the smaller battery size of the 5 series (think, lower clock speed, fewer features enabled). $1200 MSRP. The update to the p

Okay, so first of all, it seems you are pretty set on M43 / Olympus / OM System cameras. The first thing that you need to understand is that those cameras work with processor generations, and that some generations are super close, while other provide a generational leap. For example : True Pic VIII

Absolutely. You've said elsewhere you're tending towards OM, and I'd suggest any of the bodies with phase detect auto focus: em5 iii, om5, om5 ii, em1 ii, em1 iii, OM1, om1 ii or om3. Going used on the earlier models of those is a really cost effective way of getting very close to the latest kit. Fo

I have owned and used EM/OM cameras over the last decade, starting with the E-M5 II, then E-M1 II, E-M1 III, OM-5 II, and OM-1 II. The E-M5 III you are familiar with has the same IMX270 sensor and truepic 8 processing found in the E-M1 II. The IMX270 is fundamentally equivalent in imaging performanc

Ok, then let's say OM System is relying on the after-market for some accessories. :-) In my opinion, the cost to develop, build, and warehouse low volume accessories could easily exceed any retail profit. Yes, Olympus had a hand grip for the E-M5 Mk III (and OM-5 Mk I) but how many have you seen peo

I always despised people buying the latest and greatest gear while not having the skill to use it fully. The whole point of the latest gear IMO, is that it makes challenging photography far more accessible to those with LESS skill. The only way you're going to get in-focus shots of moving subjects i

Om5 and Olympus 60 mm f2.8 macro. There is a new om5 (the om5 ii) that's just been released so you might well find the mark i on offer (it is where I am) or just buy used. There are very few differences between the mark i and ii. M43 (the sensor size in the om5) has some nice advantages for macro, a

You have various options. I don't know how much you can trade the Sony for (or home many lenses you have for it). OM-3 - great retro looking camera. Looks innocent but is highly capable. Has the new sensor. OM-1 mark I - Bit bigger, not unlike your Sony, still with the new sensor. I feel it attracts
