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

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

With the OM-3 you gain: Better autofocus algorithms. Better PDAF coverage on the sensor (100% vs I think 70%). Better build quality. Better video quality (but still not on par with Sony/Lumix). Color dial (I don’t use the JPEGs that often but use the jpeg preview as it will at least give me the ball

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

OM-5 II vs X-M5 For me this comes down to features vs sensor performance. The OM-5 II is packed with features and capabilities at the expense of sensor size. X-M5 is capable of taking photos with more fine detail and dynamic range in ideal conditions, but has a lot less tools to make photos happen i

I think you'll definitely something weathersealed and can take a bit. Olympus/ OM system would be the natural choice imo. The OM-5 ii is portable, rugged and capable. The 14-150 ii kit will be versatile and easy to use. They're both weathersealed and splash proof so they'll be solid unless you drop

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
