So who's buying an OM-5 II and why? (Surprise: Me?)
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

OM5 ii Alternative Recommendations
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 get your concern about MSRP, but it's the only reasonable way to compare camera prices - sales are variable - the OM-5 II sat at MSRP for months after release, as most cameras do, and the L10 will likely be on a sale this time next year. Much in the same way comparing a new and used lens is always

Beginner: OM-5 I/II, GX9 or Fuji?
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

Beginner: How should I split my budget between camera body and lenses to be future-proof?
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

OM-1 II: Overkill for a "nature & kids" amateur, or the perfect ergonomic solution?
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

MSRP is the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price - it's how much something costs before discounts. The marked MSRP for the OM-5 II on B&H is 1.2k - and that's the current price for the tan, the silver and black are currently on sale, decreasing the price by 150$ - but that doesn't change the MSRP.
