OM-5 Mark II BODY BLACK

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

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

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

I have spent a bit of time (probably more than I should) hunting for the 'perfect' camera. Small size with lenses, and high quality. After trying the fujis, apsc, I have ended up with my OM-5 and I truly think it is the best option out there at that functionality and price point. Even if the bodies

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"

If you want shallower DOF and more light gathering than you can get from F/2.8 zooms and F/1.4 primes on M43, then it's time to move up to a larger sensor system, and you'll have to carry more weight to get larger entrance pupils covering the same FOV. I wouldn't consider the F/1.7 zooms or F/1.2 pr

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

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

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

Do not try to "future-proof" this decision. That makes it harder because we don't know the future. The used camera market is very robust. So if you need something different next year, it is easy to sell what you have and get the other thing. Make the best decision for what you need today, and you wi
