I recently got the OM SYSTEM OLYMPUS OM-5 in silver, and I’m really impressed! This camera is lightweight, compact, and feels solid in hand—perfect for on-the-go shooting. The image quality is amazing, and the M.Zuiko Digital lens gives sharp, vibrant photos every time. It’s super easy to use, whether you're a beginner or experienced photographer, and the in-body stabilization is a huge plus for sharp, shake-free shots. I also love the flip-out screen for vlogging or selfies. If you’re looking for a versatile, high-performance camera that’s easy to carry around, this one is a great choice!

You can read professional reviews of what't inside this. In its price range, although I think I got it on sale, this is the best m43 option for most people who are not convinced that more expensive gear means better images. The other guys' m43 near this price range have a bizarre hybrid focus system that once you push it you will see the issues. The phase type focus in this may not be the world's best but its a step up. The camera is well made, weather sealed (not waterproof) and yields excellent raw images (I have not shot a jpeg with any dSLR in many years so no opinion). It has some computational goodies, like stacked focus with appropriate lens, hi resolution mode and neutral density if that matters, and records quality non-log 4k video. I've been using m43 and ff side by side for more years than I want to admit--the Image Quality to camera heft ratio of m43 is unbeatable, particularly if you are fond of long teles (see comments about focus). The EVF is physically smaller than what you will get in FF so its important to block light coming in around the eye--true for all smaller EVF cameras. Otherwise it has every read-out you can imagine, some of which are even utile. One real knock, sadly common to too many dSLRs, is that the manual seems to have been translated from the original Klingon by a Wookie. You may have to do a web search to find out how to do what you want to do if you can't penetrate the manual.

I own an OM System OM-1 and an Olympus E-M1 Mk 3, along with a PEN E-P7. I've been a four-thirds and micro four-thirds shooter for almost 16 years. My wife and I went to Charleston, SC over the holidays to visit her daughter and son-in-law. I brought along the OM-1 and the E-P7. I shot nearly everything with the E-P7. I did so because it's much easier to manage a smaller camera when you're out and about with family and a toddler. I love the E-P7, but there were times when I wished I had an electronic viewfinder. I decided that the OM-5 might offer a "best of both worlds" solution. It's very light, yet packs all of the features of the E-M1 Mk3, minus the custom settings on the mode dial. Handheld high-resolution is marvelous, as is Live ND (neutral density). The IBIS everything it's been praised for. As a smaller body, I probably wouldn't put anything bigger than the 12-100mm/f4 on it, and that's perhaps pushing it a bit. But put the 14-150mm/f4-5.6 zoom on it, and you have a very versatile, capable little camera you can carry on a sling all day, hardly knowing it's there. With a small prime or compact zoom, a wrist strap is sufficient. If you wish to step-up to bigger lenses like the 40-150/f2.8, or something like the 100-400mm zoom, you'll want to add the grip. But for a compact travel camera for anything other than a safari, it's a remarkable camera. Worth every penny.

After owning this camera for six months I have decided to update my review. This is the best camera I have ever used. Why? It gives better detail and sharpness than any other system even with inexpensive kit lenses. It is light, has a higher level of advancements, and is simply a more enjoyable photo experience than other camera systems. Focus is fast and the 2x form factor for lenses is awesome. Over the years I have purchased and used a lot of cameras both DSLR and mirrorless. I have used both full frame and aps-c. I have used Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm. The om-5 is better. I imagine it can only be outperformed by the higher priced Om-1. Many people will not give this system a chance because they think micro four thirds can't possibly be as good as aps-c or full frame. Without trying it out many reviewers just pass over this format. They are missing out. I recommend you do what I did - buy a used Olympus and see for yourself. Once I saw the sharpness and detail I was sold.

This camera is marketed as a great travel camera, so I bought it to travel around the world. Unfortunately, it totally stopped working a month ago. It is still under warranty, but it turns out there is no way to get it fixed while traveling internationally. After countless calls (often in the middle of the night to accommodate their limited call center hours), online submissions, and emails, I still have no solution. The repair center in the US can't accept packages from outside the country. There are extremely limited places where one can get an OM camera serviced abroad and they don't accept the US warranty. I offered to pay for the repair myself, but still no go. For example, I am in Australia for a month, but the service center says it may take up to 6 weeks to repair and they can't mail it out to another country if it is not done before I leave. Same story when I was in New Zealand. What's the point of a lightweight, "rugged", travel camera if it suddenly stops working and you can't possibly get it fixed while traveling?!? You have been warned - if you plan to travel, get a camera from a company with a stronger international presence, or at least more reasonable customer service options!

This is a fantastic camera : it is small, light and at the same time solid. It does all what you need in small package . 4/3 sensor is much better than 1" sensor. As compared to my apsc and ff cameras , although the richness of the pictures is less and needs some post processing, the easiness and smallness of this camera are such that i take it everywhere!

Soy usuario del sistema micro4/3 de Olympus y decidí comprar de la compañía sucesora la OM5 por tener un nuevo procesador (el de la EM1MIII) y las funciones de autoenfoque a estrellas y el hand held high resolution que son muy útiles para fotografía de vía Láctea y campo amplio; aún no la estreno en astro fotografía pero ya hice mi primer senderismo con ella, llevar una cámara pequeña, ligera, con capacidad para fotografiar en alta resolución a pulso (50mpx) facilita mucho para ir a cualquier sitio sin mucha carga (¡no necesito trípode!). No me gusta que usa carga vía cable mini usb y batería bls-50 (tengo dos cámaras Olympus que usan distintas baterías y ya ¡me llené de baterías y cargadores distintos!), sin embargo vale la pena pues es una cámara resistente a la intemperie (prácticamente no hay otra con sus características con ipx 53). Anexo las primeras fotografías hechas con la OM 5. Muy recomendable

La cámara apenas esta bien, es muy CARA, muchas funciones, relativamente pequeña, botonería completa, ergonomía no me gusto es difícil de agarrar, sientes que se te cae, falta grip, batería MALA, obsoleto Micro USB, eso si buena APP completa y rápida y se pueden descargar los RAW, estabilizador OK según es el mejor del mercado, si lo creo, sin embargo muchas fotos borrosas y comparado con mi RX100 III con similares velocidades de obturación, resultado a similar cantidad de fotos borrosas (hasta 1/3 de seg), no me gusto el autoenfoque, no detecta fácilmente a las personas, solo de muy cerca y completamente volteando hacia la cámara, pocos puntos de enfoque lo cual ya esta anticuado, no autoenfoque a mascotas ( es en serio ? ) nisiquiera solo en fotos, el lente que viene 12-45 F4 Pro, muy nítido pero F4 en un sensor micro 4/3 es ridiculo, completamente ridiculo, ni las cámaras APS-C vienen con KIT F4 normalmetne es F3.5, sirve solo y solo de día, básicamente de noche es inservible para tomar fotos a personas, los colores se estropean por la necesidad de subir el ISO o tienes que tener a la persona como estatua para poder bajar la velocidad de obturación lo cual es igualmente ridiculo. Por otro lado la gente de OM System se ve que quiere recuperar rápido su inversión ya que la cámara ya no trae Flash incluido lo cual es muy necesario considerando que no puedes subir mucho el ISO por el pésimo sensor que trae esta cámara y SI, PESIMO SENSOR, el ruido que produce de noche con ISO arriba de 1600 ya es poco manejable los colores de piel comienzan a distorsionarse y aun con Dennoise ya en ISO 3200 en adelante, hay partes de las imágenes que son tan ruidosas que nisiquiera la IA puede resolver y quedan como cortadas ( un ojo cuadrado de un lado o cosas así ) la cámara me gusta a pesar todo, sin embargo el sensor no es para nada sofisticado (no es BSI). Comparando mi RX100 III tomando las mismas fotos y exactamente la misma exposición e ISO, se puede notar que la mejoría es apenas y solo muy apenas un paso lo cual es inaceptable para una cámara que cuesta 4 y hasta 5 veces mas si se considera el lente nocturno que se tiene que comprar forzadamente como el Leica 15mm 1.7 con el que la usé, es verdad que con este lente mejoró muchísimo los colores y las fotos de noche, el ISO se puede mantener relativamente bajo, pero aun asi arriba de ISO 800 ya comienza a notarse el ruido y la falta de nitidez, considero no que vale lo que cuesta la cámara, creo que con un lente Pro F1.2 o F1.4 de Olympus quedaría muy bien y todos estos problemas disminuirían, sin embargo son lentes carísimos, de casi el valor de la propia cámara que ya de por si es muy cara para ser M4/3 de gama media y también son muy grandes, por lo que demerita el hecho que sea M4/3. Esta cámara debió de tener el sensor nuevo de la OM1 para que valiera la pena, aunque no fuera apilado, ya que se nota que ya es viejo el sensor que trae, pero no mas viejo que mi RX100 III y aun así los resultados son similares, utilizando Denoisse se puede decir que los resultados quedan idénticos, por lo que finalmente tuve que regresarla, es mucho mas grande y costosa y claro muchas funciones interesantes P E R O, es una cámara no ? pues su finalidad es obtener fotos y qué sentido tiene si no son técnicamente mejores que otra de 1/4 del precio. Ya que ni la ergonomía me ha gustado prefiero la RX100 que se puede meter en tu bolsa y traerla a donde sea con calidad casi idéntica. No estoy diciendo que la Sony sea mejor, pero por el precio... tal vez si. Si tienes una Sony RX100 y quieres subir de nivel, OM System no es lo que buscas, al menos que te compres la OM1 que evidentemente no es una cámara para ocio y el precio tampoco.
