[TTL] Good Product and Best handling of B & H as usual. Thanks a lot.

[Stills & Video] I take and use my OM-5 everywhere I go. Street and city-scape photography all around the Baltimore area. I've taken photographs in pouring rain, heavy snowfall, chilly Fall days. It is a trusted travel companion. Paired with M.zuiko prime or telephoto zoom lenses, it's simply terrific. I've photographed everything from ice crystal macros to the moon, cityscapes and birds. Compact and capable. An absolutely wonderful camera.

[Yes] So far all expectations from learning on E-M1 Mark III met. Fun to use. Sturdy.

[2x] My full frame cameras became to heavy and bulky for traveling. The OM 5, even with several lenses, is a lighter more manageable system. The image stabilization lets me leave the tripod home while allowing me to get sharp photos. Highly recommend.

[TTL] I have or have had most micro 4/3 cameras and I have to say this is the best of all, even better than the OM-1 and G9, since it is much smaller and the image quality is the same. GH6 is huge and it defeats the purpose of micro 4/3 system. And it is the best weather sealed of all of them, while being the lightest. It is also a pleasure to use.

[-2 to 20 EV] I have a Nikon D810 and some Zeiss Milvus lenses; they are exceptional products but are big, bulky and heavy. By no means am I the first person to note that full frame cameras and their equipment have the disadvantage of size and weight.


After reading a number of reviews on the B&H website, and reading other reviews from various sources, I decided to give the micro 4/3 system a try. Although some reviewers have commented on the menu system of the Olympus being quirky I did not find it difficult to get used to. Although the camera is small, it is not at all difficult to hold; the thumb rest on the rear of the camera leads to a comfortable grip. I have fairly large hands and have no complaints about the grip.


The IBIS five axis stabilization system is amazing; as many others have claimed, one can hand hold the camera in quite low light situations. Another two features that add to the value of the camera are the in camera focus stacking system and the high resolution mode.


A husband and wife team that produce numerous U tube videos some years ago predicted the micro 4/3 system would disappear. I have noticed many other commenters also like the OM-5. I think the OM-5, the just released OM-1 mark II and the expected release of the OM-10 will demonstrate the folly of making predictions about the demise of the micro 4/3 system.

[100%] I'm a longtime photography enthusiast. I was wanting a technically capable camera that was weather resistant and easy to take along. Here it is.
Amazing feature set and with proper technique you get outstanding images.
I only post on social platforms but you can easily make high quality images suitable for framing.

[Stereo ] Having had the Lumix G9, G95, Olympus E-M10II, and older film cameras and countless lenses, I've settled on capability and usability. That means the OM5. Weather-sealing, dual AF, slim but not small form, high-res mode (dont need FF or the bulky expense), ND mode, Night Mode, etc. and lots of lens options works. Shooting lots of coastal image and deep forest, the weather-sealing negates the salt spray and humidity (besides rain). Images are great, AF works well, and I can take the camera anywhere. This is a keeper. Trade-in days are over. Wow, finally a keeper.

[1,040,000 Dot] Up to now I am very satisfied with the camera. I have used it for pictures and taken some videos during the day and also during a performance at night. All the images and videos were of excellent quality. Considering that my previous camera is an Olympus EPL-1, this is a mayor upgrade for me!

[2.295 lb] I have been using a Canon full frame camera for years now but I have often questioned it because of how much it weighs and how large it is for doing landscapes while hiking. I've always been told that full frame is the only way to get proper photos and the creamy bokeh and all that. I have to say that after using the OM-5 I can see that what I was told is a total myth. I can get as good or even better results with this smaller mft sensor than with a full frame sensor. When I say better I am talking about its amazing features like 50mp hand held photos which are amazing, the live ND, built in focus bracketing and all in a much much smaller package, even the lenses are a fraction of the size and at an even more affordable price. It feels liberating to switch to micro four thirds and I recommend it for everyone who photographs in the mountains.
