OM-5

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

Senior Vice President Tazuhiro Togashi and Director of Product Planning Hiroki Koyama Not exactly "OM Reps". That suggests some low grade Marketoid. These "dudes" are "nosebleeder" - called that because they are so high up in the company, the thin air up there could cause nosebleeds. So these statem

There are some real ergonomic differences between the OM-5 (both versions) and the OM-3 that may be impactful for you. The retro look of the 3 looks cool, but does have an impact on handling and use of the camera compared to the 5 (or the OM-1). I have an OM-5 and am happy with it, but was strongly

Pretty much any mirrorless camera system can do this. If you care about size, M43 will have the smallest lenses, followed by APS-C and FF. The OM-5 mkii and OM-3 are both smallish bodies with decent specs and the new menu systems (the older OM-5 original camera has the old menu system that is more '

The higher-end OM-System cameras definitely have better build quality. If you want something that feels similar to the film OM-1, the OM System OM‑3 would be a great choice. The body is made almost entirely of magnesium alloy, with the only exception being the back panel, so it feels very solid, dur

The Em/OM 5 bodies can handle larger lenses just fine and are solid starter cameras. Pair it with the 14-150 for a surprisingly competent beginner setup. In fact, an EM5 with the 14-150 was what I got started on. The main thing you lose from the flagships is the tracking autofocus and in some of the

For context, I have experience with both systems. I started photography last year with an Olympus E-M1, and eventually switched to a Fujifilm X-T3 which is a significantly better camera. But likewise, I've enjoyed my experiences with both systems. I really enjoyed Fujifilm because of the Film Recipe

I charge outside the camera, but I understand the common cord benefits. It was an overdue upgrade. Don't let this crop factor thing get complicated: For exposure, all lenses are the same: f-whatever at ISO whatever at shutter speed whatever is the same on any lens on any system. An MFT lens (as you
