I have had this camera for 3 weeks and have spent a lot of time figuring out the menu. I have been a photographer since 1959, shooting for a weekly newspaper for 10 years, freelance to magazines, shot weddings,etc. I wanted to continue with my photography and started looking for a lighter camera. I traded in my fujifilm Pro 2, XT 20 and four lenses and bought the MO 5. This camera isn’t just for new photographers but also for those of us older photographers who wanted a lighter camera. Today I shoot street and this work well with the older prime lenses.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the OM5 Phil. I got it recently, great features and layout. Lightweight. Really like Live Comp and Starry Sky AF for Astrophotography. Also used with 40-150 f4 Pro Lens. CAF, captured shots of our dog diving in the Ocean:)! The spray and his eyes were sharp.

Finally a review that makes me understand if this camera is for me! I'm glad that it is oriented more for photography than video, I'm tempted to buy, maybe with a brighter lens the results will certainly be better, I save a little on the camera and spend more for a great lens. Thank you very much 😊

Excellent overview and I think you really nailed it's sweet spot, the daily shooter you can pack anywhere, rain or shine. As an EM5iii user, no incentive to upgrade even though it is the camera I use the most by far. I have an EM1x recently picked up at a bargain price used, which has almost all the new features added to the OM5 anyway (a used EM1x + used EM5iii could be had for not much more than the new OM5, that is the math). I would be more interested in sensor upgrades, but maybe wait another cycle or two for the differences to be really material.

@WilkinsonCameras Жыл бұрын

Thanks Richard and thanks for watching. I agree that there’s not a huge reason to upgrade from the Mark III. Let’s hope for something really exciting in an O-M5 Mark II… whenever that might be!

@RyougiVector Жыл бұрын

I like this video, there's a good mix of strengths and weaknesses, and good explanations of the technical features Olympus offers in addition to great image quality. Personally I have more than enough camera bodies, and will wait for something to break to make an excuse to buy a new one. I don't quite see the video being oversharpened. I'm curious if the My Menu feature ever became useful for the reviewers, since I'm not sure how effective it'd be if the menu setup is obtuse to a user. I can imagine it would only help, but I've been wrong before.

Great review! Thank you! It looks like a very good camera that could / should be better. USB-C, better EVF and the new menu would make a lot of difference… But for travel, adventure photography is difficult to find something lighter smaller better with so many photographic possibilities.

@user-lb4bd1go9o 5 ай бұрын

I've got the OM5. My Menu and extra Custom button options are great, no issues with the Menu. Yes USB-C is not up to date but I have a Battery Charger which works fine and anyway at night with USB-C just plug in. Sure, good to have a spare battery or two as I do. Love the size, lightweight and packed features. Used with 12-45 f4 & 40-150 f4 Pro lenses. People want this camera to be more like upgrades on OM1 but OM5 is a lot cheaper for a reason. Thanks Wilkinson for the Review by the way:)

t is certainly an improvement on the Olympus OM-D-E M5 Mark III. But as you say, no need to replace my Olympus OM-E M5 Mark III. What I am looking forward to is the renewal of the sensor, which has been around for too long and needs to be updated. The sensor of the OM-5 is also an older, improved version of an earlier Olympus camera. So a new sensor that can rival the latest cameras on the market might convince me to buy a new now OM-System camera

Hi! Please tell me, can I put LOW ISO (64) when I record 4k video? Because the lowest iso in this mode is 200 but sometimes it's too much😞

@JeffXiaoAn 8 ай бұрын

use a ND filter. Cameras have their native ISOs, setting it too low will have lesser dynamic range.

@onthemove301 Жыл бұрын

Nice video. Having just bought the OM1 at almost twice the cost I was struggling to see what the difference is, other than the menu.

@WilkinsonCameras Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching 😊 Whilst the OM-1 shares lots of similar features, such as Live ND, Live Composite, etc. it’s a much more powerful camera than the OM-5. The OM-1 features a stacked BSI sensor and much improved AF and a faster processor. So think of it being like a computer… same programs, but better hardware which means you can run them faster and choose more powerful options. The OM-1 is the top of the OM System / Olympus range. It excels at speed, so very good for action and wildlife but also has enhanced video features. Plus a better viewfinder, which I’d always consider a massive bonus. Don’t worry, your purchase won’t be one that you regret - it’s a great camera and the extra spend does get you a lot more.

If I were choosing between this om5 with an 12-40 lens and the Fuji x-t5 with the kit lens 16-80, which would you pick? The difference in price is not too much, but as I have a great camera in my iPhone for recording everyday life etc, my feeling is you are saying the OM 5 is not enough of a step up.

If you are going to get more lenses later, then consider this. You are investing in a system. Whether the company will still be around in future will be very important.

I suppose the OM-5 is fine for someone who doesn't already have the OMD M5, M10 (or any other Olympus product for that matter) I'll probably just get an M5 considering it's almost the same as the OM5 and one can fine great deals on the older model at the moment.

@RobShootPhotos Жыл бұрын

That exactly it. This is an all arounder camera. "This camera has amazing AF and it provides pre burst shooting." Maybe but you have horrible rolling shutter or crop in with burst mode or only output JPEG for pre burst. "This camera is an excellent Vlogging camera" Sure...but it's lacking a second dial or no IBIS. Then there are little to no computational features that I use such as Focus Stacking and ok fine...some do have some sort of Live Comp but it's limited in settings. Then many of the $1,000-1,200 cameras all have UHS-1 card slots. I've been round and round about looking at other brands and just can't quite using OM-SYSTEM Olympus cameras because the other brands compromise the features I use and all the other things I don't use as much is good enough for me. Nice review. Glad you actually looked at what the specs and tested things to see the improvements than basically tell people "yeah it's the same camera." You actually found things that most reviews didn't even go over and assume are all the same.

It is a good camera for new clients… BUT ! Sticking with micro USB and not upgrading to Usb-C, plus not porting the new menu system seen in the OM1, launched earlier, makes no sense. Looking to upgrade my EM5 mk II for better AF, but spending 1.3k on already dated tech makes no sense. I feel deeply disappointed.

The OM-5 pretty much just a logo change. No USB-C is inexcusable in 2022.

If by “just a logo change” you actually mean “plus all the new features” then yes, you are correct. I would have liked to see USB-C.

@WilkinsonCameras Жыл бұрын

There's a few upgrades too - we understand people were hoping for a lot more, but it's still a really good camera and does have uprades versus the Mark III. UBS-C would be a nice bonus for sure, especially give that we found it very slow to charge in camera!

@docandersonshow Жыл бұрын

@@WilkinsonCameras It feels like everything new in the OM-5 is stuff we were annoyed didn’t make the cut in the EM-5Mk iii (like webcam - which the EM-5 Mk ii had). So maybe a better marketing message would have been for OM Digital to say, “Remember how when the EM-5 Mk iii came out, everyone said, ‘Why didn’t Olympus include [INSERT FEATURE HERE]?’ Well, we’re fixing that.”
