OM System OM-5

Compact proportions yet rock solid construction ; Comprehensive features and intuitive hands-on control via top plate dials ; Great results straight out of the camera with minimum fuss

The compact build is due in part to a physically smaller Four Thirds sensor ; Those with larger hands/fingers may find the OM-5’s control layout a little crammed ; Not as much support from third parties for add-on accessories

A lightweight, reasonably affordable yet reassuringly durable mirrorless camera that offers an enticing balance of portability, creativity and, moreover, quality.

Small size ; Powerful features ; Excellent stabilization ; Great lens line-up ; Clever computational shooting modes

Essentially a refresh of the E-M5 Mark III ; 4K 30p video adequate but no more ; Too small for bigger Pro lenses ; EVF resolution only average

The OM System OM-5 adds some useful computational features to the outgoing Olympus E-M5 Mark III, but it doesn't offer any upgrades to the body that would compel upgrading and doesn't quite justify its price.

Hohe Bildqualität ; Schneller Autofokus ; Wettergeschütztes Gehäuse ; Klein und leicht

4K-Video nutzt nicht den gesamten Sensor

Kein großer Sprung wie beim Topmodell, aber ein gelungenes Update: Die OM System OM-5 übernimmt Stärken des Vorgängers wie das wettergeschützte Gehäuse, legt aber bei der Bildqualität und beim Autofokus noch die eine oder andere Schippe drauf....

Olym…ursäkta, OM System, lanserar idag en ny kamera, den andra med det nya namnet. Den första som kom var toppmodellen OM-1 och nu kommer alltså en uppföljare på den serie som Olympus kallade OM-D E-M5, varav den senaste hade fått nummer III. Den nya...

Stunning image quality. 5 axis stabilization. Available lenses. Retro styling.
