OM-5 Mark II Body Silver

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

You have a considerable budget and you like the smaller cameras - otherwise you'd have included an OM1.1 as well. If you can get the OM3 for 1300 that actually makes a lot of sense. It's the most modern camera of OM-system (even the new OM-5.II is more like the older M1.III - which is fine but not n

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

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

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

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
