OM-5

Few factors : - Lumix has always been a bit of a video-centric brand, ever since the GH1 released. Most of why peop[le bought Lumix cameras for was very often the excellent video specs compared to the price point, and not really their photo capabilities (which are still good) - Olympus has a HUGE ba

I moved from Canon Full Frame, 5d Mark II (and actually had a Mark III for two weeks, then returned it when I decided to get the OM-D E-M5 Mark I that released at the same time as the Mark III). There are advantages and drawbacks to FF, APS-C, and M4/3rds. Almost all "drawbacks" for any of these thr

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

Für Bauforensik könntest du dir konvertierte Kameras anschauen (Kolarivison macht sowas), damit könnte das ganze auf nem höheren Niveau laufen. Je nachdem wie wichtig da die Bildqualität ist könnte dafür auch eine (selbst-)konvertierte Kompaktkamera völlig reichen, die gibt es auch auf kleinanzeigen

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 '

Welcome to the Micro Four Thirds camera world! I would advise to go with the OM-5 if you can. It's more recent and provides some nice computational features that you might use later. Besides, buying used will give a better chance of finding an OM-5 in good condition with less shutter count than EM-5

I can only speak to what I know but I have the OM-5 mk2 (virtually identical to mk1) with the 14-150mm lens and the versatility of that lens is phenomenal. For a lens the size of a coke can, you can do landscapes, portraits, wildlife, whatever. Plus the system is weather sealed so it's a great one l

I would suggest renting a body and lens combo before committing to buying one. If you are looking for something really compact I would suggest the E-M5 MkIII or the OM-5. If you don't mind going a bit bigger I would suggest going with the E-M1 MkII or MkIII, maybe even the Panasonic Lumix G9. M43, e

Computational features. Interesting that no one has mentioned them. Notably found in M43 Om-System & Panasonic. Stuff like in-camera focus stacking, in camera ND filters and starry sky AF to name a couple. Compared to the Z7ii full frame I had, I liken my little OM-5i to a high tech little Jeep. It

If you're concerned about AF, you can always look at a used em5-mk iii or and om-5. They'll have a lot more computational features than any aps-c/full frame camera in the same price range. The lenses will also be cheaper than on Canon. And I personally think for wildlife photography, mft still has a
