Como usuario de Canon, esto me maravillo, la técnología y la calidad, superior!!!! Muy contento.

Apologies, my reviews can be a little rambly. Anyways: I'm fully into the OM System/Olympus ecosystem, and have been since I picked up a Pen EPL-9. Since then, I've worked my way through: EM-1, EM-1 mkii, EM-1X, EM-10 mkiv, and now the OM-5. (Plus a pen mini 2). My current/main camera + lens combos: - EM1X with the 300mm F4 Pro for animals/birds, sometimes with the 40-150 f2.8 Pro if I feel like using that lens instead. - OM-5 with 12-100 F4 pro and ECG-5 grip (optional) for travel or everything else I also have the 20mm F1.4 Pro, 60mm f2.8 macro, 8mm f1.8 fisheye, and a bunch of other non-pro lenses that won't be relevant here :P Basically, I've used a lot of Olympus's M43 stuff. As you can see by my gear, the absolute lightest and smallest combos aren't super important to me, but it's at least a little important when traveling. I don't compromise on weather sealing, that's a must for me, so that's why the EM-10 didn't last despite being an absolutely excellent camera otherwise. So with that in mind, the OM-5 and 12-100 F4 pro is the perfect duo for travel for me: a single lens that does almost everything and a camera that can be smaller and lighter than the OM-1/EM-1 but also produces great quality images and supports the bigger lenses with the help of the grip. To be fair, you can absolutely use the 12-100 with the OM-5 without the grip. I did so on a layover in Hong Kong when I needed to save as much weight as possible. A quick comparisons to the alternatives: The EM1X has bird tracking, while the OM-5 does not. That's the only thing I really feel that I'm missing when I only have the OM-5 with me. Now that the OM-1 is dipping under $1k on the used market, I think it's a very interesting camera to consider, but when I bought the OM-5, I didn't feel like it offered enough that I didn't already have on the EM1X and OM-5 despite being the better piece of hardware. Plus, I actually like using the big lenses on the EM1X, it's more comfortable. The OM-5 mkii doesn't seem to offer much over the OM-5. I don't have a list off the top of my head, but when the OM-5 was revealed, I remember thinking that there was no reason to grab that one over this one unless the OM-5 mkii becomes cheaper. Compared to the EM10 mkiv, that one is smaller and lighter and more compact and has the 20 MP sensor, so it's definitely an option for those wanting something in that direction. Quality-wise, the EM10 was actually good enough for me at the time, but the lack of weather sealing killed it for me. The OM-5 offers little compromises in the OM-System ecosystem for the cost. Some comments about lenses: I think the absolute perfect pairing for this camera is the 20mm F1.4 pro because of the handling and weather sealing and overall size. With the extra grip attachment, the OM-5 works well with the 12-100 F4 pro and the 40-150 F2.8 pro. The latter is actually my preferred hiking nature lens for encountering birds or deer, over the EM1X with the 300mm, because sometimes that's just a bit too heavy. If you're looking to pair this camera with any of these lenses, I can't recommend it enough, at least as a travel camera. I actually sold the 12-45 f4 pro that came in this kit because I've already owned it and much prefer the 12-100 because I always miss the extra reach, but I think that's a relatively niche problem, and otherwise the 12-45 F4 pro is an amazing lens that would pair well with the OM-5. I've heard the 12-40 f2.8 pro is the superior lens optically, but the 12-45 is a better fit for this smaller camera without the grip. As for the OM-3, I'm not actually a fan, so I'd pick this any day. I'm sure the OM-3 is amazing for street photography and people who like the older look, but I can't get past the lack of grip and suspect it's not as usable as the OM-5 with the lenses I prefer to use. If you're primarily a street photographer with the compact primes, the OM-3 might be a better idea, unless price is a concern. Ok, I think I'm done rambling. I'm a huge fan of the OM-5 and OM System in general. So I'm probably biased. But oh well. Have a nice day.

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!

Pls dont buy, mobile camera is better than this.

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.
