OM System OM-5 Review
A lightweight, reasonably affordable yet reassuringly durable mirrorless camera that offers an enticing balance of portability, creativity and, moreover, quality. The OM-5 is notable in being the first camera from the former Olympus to bear its new ‘OM System’ branding.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- 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

OM System OM-5 in-depth review
The OM-5's balance between durability, capability, and portability is hard to match anywhere in the photography world. Although it lacks bleeding-edge performance, for the money this model gives beginners a lot of bang for the buck. It can take great-looking stills, has some of OM System's famed computational photography features, and can shoot good enough video in a pinch, all while snapping away in snow and rain.
Pros:
- Landscapes, vacation snapshots, and vlogging all in inclement weather.
Cons:
- High-grade video capture or fast-moving sports.
