OM-5 Mark II BODY BLACK

I truly hope—pray, even—that OM System’s next release won’t just be another rehash like the OM-1 Mark II. That camera, while fine on paper, was essentially a software update sold at full price, and it left many of us deeply disillusioned. I’m starting to lose hope in the brand. I’ve been using the E

I had just placed my preorder yesterday for the new sand beige version, I think it looks great. I’m actually coming over from the Fujifilm system and the X-S10. I’ve been eyeing OM system for a while now, super intrigued by its compact form factor, IPX rated weather sealing, and computational featur

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

OM-5 II is a good choice. Pair it up with an OM System 17mm f/1.8 MK II and you have a very compact system that can handle deployment abuse. Big zooms or even larger primes will just get in the way. I've been all over CENTCOM with an older version of that setup (EM-5 II). If you leave the lens hood

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

I was using the E-P7 as a second/more casual/EDC camera with OM-3. Of course, OM-3 is miles ahead of E-P7 in every metric but I could not get to like OM-3 ergonomics in the 6 months I have used it. After my E-P7 was broken and compensated, I decided to sell the OM-3 and get an OM-1ii as my "serious"

Jestem posiadaczem równolegle dwóch systemów, oba rozbudowuję i modyfikuję od lat. Mam Sony Alpha (obecnie A7RM5 i A7CR) oraz M4/3 (obecnie OM-3, choć przez kilka lat głównie OM-1 MK1 i MK2). Nie potrafię się pogodzić z myślą o pozbyciu się jednego z tych systemów. Oba mają swoje dobre i złe strony

A 75-300 or 12-40 2.8 is not a big lens by any stretch, these are the kinds of lenses that cause it to break. Also I’m not sure if you just don’t know what a peak capture clip is, but it goes on your backpack strap and the camera mounts to it via the tripod screw. This is what all of the Olympus bra

I should have been more clear, when I have seen or heard of this happen it was from stress on the mount, not just from sitting there on a tripod. That would be insane. The capture clip breaks are very real, though. Regardless I won't buy another OM5 unless this is fixed (so, probably never), which s

Given your use case (beginner, not doing extensive birds/wildlife, no macro) you probably don't need a ton of bells and whistles, and you would benefit from the more modern UI/UX of the OM systems cameras. Given that, you can probably "get away" with a lower tiered, newer camera like the OM5i/ii. Lo
