Top Mid-Tier Camera
I’ve used almost every brand and the OM-5 is the best interchangeable lens camera I’ve owned in some time. It has a great suite of computational photography modes that other brands haven’t bothered with. The weather sealing is the best in its class; great for my outdoor adventures. And it feels good in my hands with a nice button/dial layout. I came to M43 from Fuji-land; I wanted a camera that was as small as an X100 with interchangeable lenses, better weather sealing, IBIS, and more.The Micro Four Thirds sensor of the OM-5 is excellent; I print landscapes up to 16 x 20 and the quality is identical to APS-C and full frame up to that size. I also love the 12-45mm f/4 pro kit lens; razor sharp and good close focus. Paired with a small prime lens or two, the OM-5 is a marvelous everyday carry camera because its so light you’ll never feel like leaving it at home! I take more photos than ever thanks to how light my bag is with this camera.

less than a year, and a hundred of dead pixels
I bought numerous digital cameras in last twenty years, and all cameras combined didn’t have that many dead pixels as this one that I purchased the most recently.This shows just how bad the quality of the camera is. Not just the sensor, but overall: knobs, latches, buttons do not give this robust feeling when handling the camera.Talking about buttons and knobs, there are too many and they are scattered all over the camera. For a small camera like OM-5 the minimalist approach would be a better idea. I use the camera about once a week and in a year I still didn’t find a good use for all the buttons.There is another huge design flaw that I never saw it being mentioned before. It is about holding the camera. Forget about holding it with a single hand, because it’s impossible to do so without accidentally pressing a few buttons in the process. Among all the unnecessary buttons there is no room to lean the root of the thumb that gives the support when using a single hand.There was so much said about the awful menu system. I don’t understand why not fixing something that so many people complain about.With OM System I learned there are PRO lens without manual focus button. I would be ok with that if I wouldn’t have to spend time by clicking through menus to turn off auto focus.If I compare it to another 20MP camera that I have from a different brand and for the half price, it has better handling and more solid feel than OM-5.The retro look is unfortunately the only thing I can compliment on this camera. Even with all the various features that is not enough.

Micro 4/3 size is great
I bought this after many months of researching reviews and recommendation for a smaller camera for travel. I am just back from 6 National Part trip, and ready to edit pictures. The camera was excellent on the trip. Easy to carry and shoot. I till have a learning curve with all the settings.

New name, but same old good vibe!
The OM System OM-5 is a solid choice for Olympus shooters who want to upgrade to the latest camera. With its new image processor to make the old 20M 4/3 Live MOS sensor more efficient and add more computational photography functions, you can expect high-quality images and even try out new techniques like handheld high res shot, live ND, focus stacking, and HDR shooting. The Cross Quad Pixel AF system provides fast and accurate focusing with 121 points, while Pro Capture can start recording up to 120 fps with just a half-press of the shutter button.One of the standout features of the OM-5 is its weather-sealed body, rated at IP53, which ensures that the camera can withstand harsh weather conditions and still perform well. The camera also has an improved battery life, although it’s not great and only lasts for around 310 shots on a single charge.The OM-5 is designed to be compact and portable, which means that it’s lightweight and easy to carry around. The body is similar to the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, so it should feel familiar to Olympus shooters. The camera also has improved wireless connectivity, making it easier to share photos and videos with others.Overall, the OM System OM-5 is a great camera that provides a lot of value for its price. With its advanced features and weather-sealed design, it’s perfect for outdoor photographers who want a reliable and versatile camera. The battery life could be better, but it’s a small price to pay for the camera’s excellent performance.Additionally, the OM System OM-5 has a new feature that allows users to film videos in vertical mode, producing native vertical video that is recognized by editing software as vertical video orientation. The 30-minute filming restriction in this model was lifted for unlimited filming time or while the battery lasts, making it easier for users to capture longer footage. It’s also worth noting that all the Olympus legacy micro four thirds lenses and all other brands are still compatible, adding to the options for a great selection of superb glass.Moreover, the new feature of auto focusing to the stars makes this camera a great option for astrophotography enthusiasts. With its 5-axis image stabilization and a new image processor for the same old 20M 4/3 Live MOS sensor, but this camera can produce sharp and detailed images even in low-light conditions. The computational photography functions, including Handheld High Res Shot, Live ND, Focus Stacking & HDR shooting, are also great tools for creative photographers looking to experiment with new techniques, making this compact camera a great choice for street photography.Overall, the OM System OM-5 Silver Micro Four Thirds System Camera M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO kit Outdoor Camera is a versatile and powerful camera that can be used for a wide range of photography and videography needs. Its weather-sealed body, compatibility with legacy lenses, and new features make it a solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade their camera gear.Update: No charger, just a cable to charge in camera, but not transformer, you have to get any phone transformer you have laying around the house, also just one battery, you have to buy more if you want some more juice, because the battery life on this camera is not great as I stated above, but not OEM batteries are cheap and a great option to get a couple of them and get a whole full day of pictures and videos, Also the charging port and data port from this camera is a uses micro-usb instead of Type C connector which makes the charging port ridiculously slow, but anyways in my case I use a proper external charger with 2 batteries at a time saving time and properly charging the batteries for better performance, But I had to share this with you because I think its important to know.

La cámara apenas esta bien, es muy CARA, muchas funciones, relativamente pequeña, botonerÃa completa, ergonomÃa no me gusto es difÃcil de agarrar, sientes que se te cae, falta grip, baterÃa 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 nÃtido 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 dÃa, 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 asà ) 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 mejorÃa 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 muchÃsimo 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 quedarÃa muy bien y todos estos problemas disminuirÃan, sin embargo son lentes carÃsimos, 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 asà 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 ergonomÃa 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.
