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

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

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

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

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"

Thanks a lot for your detailed help. It honestly made me feel a bit better about the whole decision process. The analysis paralysis is real… I don’t think I’ve done this much research even during university 😄 The X-E5 is definitely very appealing, but I don’t want to limit myself to mostly static su

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
