OM-D E-M5 Mark II

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 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

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

Buy OM-5 bundled with 14-150mm f4-5.6 PRO lens and you are good to go. OM5 camera body is very capable and paired with lens mentioned above, you will be able to capture almost everything life will prepare for you. You will be slightly limited only in low light photography (prime lenses are kings the

Okay, so first of all, it seems you are pretty set on M43 / Olympus / OM System cameras. The first thing that you need to understand is that those cameras work with processor generations, and that some generations are super close, while other provide a generational leap. For example : True Pic VIII

the first E-M10 was released in 2014, it was basically a cheaper version of the E-M5 released in 2012, with some added stuff and some down graded specs. Just like the E-M5, it had a low resolution EVF, and no electronic shutter. Wi-Fi and some computational modes were added (like Live Composite), bu

Hey I have an OM3 and it was my first camera in the MFT ecosystem. Paired it with the excellent 12-40 f2.8 for really good weather sealing. I've been out in really heavy snow storms in Canada and Scandinavian rain without issues. Added the 40-150 f2.8 for action and now I'm looking at the 60mm macro

Your setup is weather sealed, you should be fine. Just keep the lens on at all times unless in a controlled environment or clear weather. Your oldest's lens is weather sealed, but their camera is not, so it won't matter that the lens is sealed. I don't know how rainy this rainy season is, but if it'

Welcome to micro four thirds ! The OM-5 is a great camera, even if it has its weaknesses. It's interesting to see such old kit lenses used on this body ! I'm personally not a huge fan of the OM-5's plastic body (and most importantly is was too expensive for me) so I settled on an older Olympus E-M5

They did you even see them as the pain wear out.
