Pros: General ergonomics. The stabilization of the sensor and the responsiveness of the autofocus are good.

Cons: Plasticity of the machine body

Opinion: For years I have also been using the Micro 4/3 for the "quality of the compromise" between performance - portability - cost-effectiveness of the lenses. I have used and use several Lumix bodies often equipped with Olympus lenses (which I find excellent). I wanted to buy this OM5 just to see if I could find the same quality that I saw in Olympus lenses. The machine is well made in terms of buttons and ergonomics. The "tactile" quality is a bit disappointing given the price (hard and plasticky card flap). Validate the On-Off lever. Sight not up to the latest Lumix 4/3. The menus are jagged and chock-full of options. At least half of the functions of this OM5, for the photography I do (landscapes, flora, some portraits), are useless. I find it useless, for example, to do in the camera what I can do comfortably (and better) as post-production on the computer. I like essential machines and there is complication to sell here. It is a very personal assessment. Compared to my Lumix, I found the sensor stabilization to be valuable, and the autofocus, which is very responsive. For the rest, the quality of the Raw file did not seem superior to, for example, that provided by a G100. I was hoping for more in terms of dynamic range, but my tests are not exhaustive. I tried the high-resolution shooting function that produces a 40 Mp file handheld: interesting, but I didn't jump on the chair when I opened the file. Given the cost, I re-evaluated my Lumix bodies, as I did not see a significant qualitative leap except in the aspects I mentioned. I can't say much about the robustness, this body is tropicalized, and this certainly justifies a price increase

Pros: Portability, robustness, size, image quality, intuitive menu, high resolution shooting.

Cons: noise from 6400 onwards

Opinion: I use the OM 5 as a landscape camera during my mountain hikes and I am largely satisfied with it; The images are very good and allow a large post-production capable of recovering many details and always have an excellent dynamic range. The battery life is excellent and allows two or three days of use with at least 150 images, the menu is very intuitive and customizable. Its weight and size allow it to be easily transported while hiking. Together with the 12 40 and the 7 14 they offer wide perspectives for those who want to return home with a few shots of their excursions. Above 6400 the digital noise is intrusive but the characteristics of the sensor are designed for shots at lower ISO.

Pros: Handy, easy to use, of excellent quality, full of functions that can be easily used in the room

Cons: The usb-c port is missing.

Opinion: It's one of the best machines I've had: easy to use, lightweight, always ready. I was amazed by the ease of use - and the effectiveness - of the various 'in-camera' functions: ND filters, eye-af, high-resolution images, starry sky. I have the em-5m2, the image quality is not far off, but the features listed make the OM-5 really incredible... I don't regret the full-frame, the OM-5 fully satisfies my needs as an amateur photographer and is probably the best price-size-quality compromise in the field of micro 4/3. The USB-C port is missing, but it's not a drama; I bought a charger, two additional batteries and that's it...

Pros: Form factor, handling, great quality in the absolute sense of what you ask of it

Cons: Battery, sensor exposure when changing lenses

Opinion: I'm a simple amateur who has abandoned bigger and more expensive cameras, first for an em5II that I still have and then for the om5, I don't pay attention to performance or obsessive manias related to iso, bitrate or comparative of any ... When I see something or someone I like or I'm in a wonderful place that deserves to be in my memories ... click! Responsive, beautiful in the details, ready and comfortable to carry with me, with appropriate lenses it is able to give the best. That said, I've brought some nice prints to some exhibitions with her, some prints are large, what are you missing?? I would just like to point out to be careful with the sensor, it remains exposed to the detachment of the lenses and the battery may last longer.

Pros: Size, lightness, AF, optical system, white balance, stabilization, aesthetics, price

Cons: Vlogger-style screen, some "light" construction details, decent battery life

Opinion: I'm an amateur, travel photography, some personal projects between street and reportage. I often have lab prints. I have and have had other cameras, at the moment a Nikon Df let's say "collectible", a Sony A7II that I use only with adapted manual lenses and this OM-5, which I bought by trading in an entire Pentax K-1 system and optics. For the OM-5 I use 7-14 Pro, 12-40 Pro, 17 Pro and 25 Panaleica. For me, the M43 sensor is new. Taken about 1500 shots so far, only raw. I am very satisfied with the OM-5, for its compactness and lightness, it allows me to go out with a small and light backpack, where there is also room for a film camera and some optics. No problem for the ISO sealing, so far I have never shot at sensitivities other than the native 200, shooting at open apertures and taking advantage of the really remarkable stabilization there is no need to go up with the sensitivity. I'm not a fan of "blur" so the large depth of field of the small sensor is welcome. The ergonomics of the machine are good, by customizing the physical controls I can use it almost without ever going through the menu and keeping the screen closed. The efficiency of the automatic WB is remarkable, which on other machines created problems for me. I often convert to BN, with convincing results just by using the camera profiles from Lightroom. The autofocus is accurate, fast and easy to use. Weaknesses... Some parts (the battery door, the caps of the side connectors) are a bit too cheap. The laterally articulated screen is of little use, I would have much preferred a tiltable screen to be used as a cockpit. The battery doesn't have a great battery life. Some other considerations that are not real weak points, but on which it is right to draw attention. The sensor format... I'm not used to 4:3, I often find myself cropping in 2:3. You have to get used to it and learn how to take advantage of the format. The sharpness... I always reduce it to post, for me even excessive... and I also add a bit of grain, otherwise the images seem too "digital" to me. But these are intrinsic characteristics of the format. Who is the OM-5 for? For those who aim for results, they want lightness and compactness, without breaking the bank.
