OM-D E-M5 Mark II

I have owned a camera from almost every system being produced but I always find myself drawn back to Olympus M43 cameras. I have a Fujifilm XH2S but I seem to prefer my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, to the point that I'm seriously considering selling my Fuji kit to get an OM-1. It's so sad how Olympus

I truly hope—pray, even—that OM System’s next release won’t just be another rehash like the OM-1 Mark II. That camera, while fine on paper, was essentially a software update sold at full price, and it left many of us deeply disillusioned. I’m starting to lose hope in the brand. I’ve been using the E

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

Hi, I work in an IP rating testing lab. IPX1 is laughable, but the reason it's rated like this is most likely only because they didn't bother with a higher tier certification. IP testing is long and expensive. You don't test the product until it fails, you just test what the manufacturer told you to

If you are okay with buying used, definitely take a look at the OM-5 mark 1. Besides the menu system, it's literally the exact same camera with slightly different looks, and it costs 40% less. I don't think that as a beginner you'd need a camera as advanced as the OM-3, the OM-5 is already one hell

OM System, for VERY LITTLE MORE MONEY, could have given the OM5 mk2 a similar magnesium body as my old EM5 It's not a matter of money. It's a matter of weight. They've intentionally designed E-M5 mk3 / OM-5 to be as lightweight as possible. If you want a heavier camera, just buy the OM-1 or OM-3.

Another Dad here with young kids: I have an OM5i and the Panasonic 12-35 2.8 is on the camera 80% of the time. I use the 25mm 1.7 for indoor birthdays etc but I’d much rather something wider and brighter like Panasonic 15mm 1.7 or Oly 20mm 1.4. I think a nice bright lens beats the autofocus improvem

I have arrived at the point where I'm flabbergasted by how superior my ten years old Em10 Mark II's build quality is compared to these newer iterations. You'd have imagined that the span of a decade would allow Olympus to further step up their renowned attention to detail, precise construction, high

OM1 ii and OM3 are probably the best when using C-AF with subject detection. I upgraded from the em5 iii (basically the same AF as the em1 ii) to the OM3 and I'm getting way more keepers. That being said, the OM1 i, EM1 iii, and OM5 i/ii all have better face detect than the em1 ii. I find that you h

I have had a similar kind of experience with M43. I have been shooting Fujifilm X mount since 2021 (using Nikon DSLRs before that) and I switched back to Nikon with a Z6 in 2023 (it was also my first full frame mirrorless after using a full frame D700 years ago). I thought that was it, that I would
