Pros: size, weight, aesthetics, af, white balance, jpeg, extra features

Cons: micro USB (and not USB C), old menu, some avoidable software limitations

Opinion: The Om-5, on the contrary, has more than one reason of interest for any photography enthusiast. It is a complete 360° machine capable of excellent performance in all sectors, at a very interesting cost and with really negligible weight and size. It is a small jewel that paid, initially, the price of being underestimated and identified as a "software update" of the previous model. It is currently the machine that I use the most among those I own (OM1, OM5 and EM1X) also because it is a real pleasure to use. Too bad for some choices that can be revised (and I think can also be improved via software) such as the old type menu and not like that of the OM1 which should now be the new course, and the limitation of the ND filter to ND16 and not 32 as on the EM1.3 for the rest is beautiful to look at, fun to use and able to churn out fantastic photos. I was thinking of getting a second OM1 but in the end I think it will be the OM-5 to have a twin (silver). Even the autonomy, despite being the "usual" battery of all time is very good, a sign of better energy efficiency. VERY recommended and really suitable for anyone

Pros: Lightweight and compact - Great value for money - New features compared to the previous model (it is an E-M1 mk3 in an E-M5 body).

Cons: It does not present innovations, maintains the same hardware/software technologies used by the previous E-M1 and E-M5 models.

Opinion: At the Polyphoto Day in Florence I got to see the new OM-5 by OM-System. I can't do a thorough test but from a first view the OM-5 seems to me a good product. It is necessary to see it not as an innovative camera (as it was for the OM-1) but as a novelty OM-System upgrade to the E-M1 mk3 and E-M5, a sort of mix that binds both cameras marked Olympus. A brilliant idea in my opinion, as the E-M1 mk3 was a prominent Olympus professional camera and the E-M5 series a compact camera for amateurs. With the OM-5 we have both, a professional system (maybe not like that of the OM-1) in a compact body to carry in your pocket. The quality/price ratio is also great, the OM-5 takes you at about € 1200. I tried it on a model at the Polyphoto Day in Florence with the M.Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 telephoto and the result was surprising from a real professional camera and I would not evaluate it only as a secondary choice from a compact or pocket camera. Of course for those who expected a "baby" OM-1 was not so, the OM-5 is something different that carries on all the professional fruit of Olympus now marked OM-System.
