OM SYSTEM OM-5 Mirrorless Camera with 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens (Silver)

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

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!

I bought this camera as it is dust/freeze/sprash proof. Separately I bought 100-400 mm telephoto lens. Photo quality is sharp and I’m impressed.

I bought numerous digital cameras in last twenty years, and all cameras combined didn't have that many dead pixels as this one that I purchased the most recently. This shows just how bad the quality of the camera is. Not just the sensor, but overall: knobs, latches, buttons do not give this robust feeling when handling the camera. Talking about buttons and knobs, there are too many and they are scattered all over the camera. For a small camera like OM-5 the minimalist approach would be a better idea. I use the camera about once a week and in a year I still didn't find a good use for all the buttons. There is another huge design flaw that I never saw it being mentioned before. It is about holding the camera. Forget about holding it with a single hand, because it's impossible to do so without accidentally pressing a few buttons in the process. Among all the unnecessary buttons there is no room to lean the root of the thumb that gives the support when using a single hand. There was so much said about the awful menu system. I don't understand why not fixing something that so many people complain about. With OM System I learned there are PRO lens without manual focus button. I would be ok with that if I wouldn't have to spend time by clicking through menus to turn off auto focus. If I compare it to another 20MP camera that I have from a different brand and for the half price, it has better handling and more solid feel than OM-5. The retro look is unfortunately the only thing I can compliment on this camera. Even with all the various features that is not enough.

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.
