My view is that the OM-1 is the obvious choice for professional use, sports photography, and serious photojournalism. However, if you want the faster, more robust performance of the OM-1, plus the "best of the best" spec for Micro Four Thirds, then go with the OM System OM-1. If your primary goal is to enjoy the latest technology in MFT photography in a rugged, compact body, and you can live with the feature differences, the the OM-5 presents a pretty good value at $1,199.99. Next, can you live with the older menu system, micro-USB connectivity, and a single card slot? The $1,000 difference between the two cameras is a big deal for many enthusiasts. Other noteworthy characteristics include: highly durable shutter unit that clears 400,000 shutter actuations (according to in-house testing conditions), night view mode makes it possible to view subjects even in dark environments, and independent AEL and AF-ON buttons.Īll of this in a rugged, weather resistant design that will prove to be highly reliable in just about any environment. Start with a 20MP Stacked BSI Live MOS MFT sensor, 5.76m-Dot OLED electronic viewfinder, dual UHS-II SD card slots, DCI/UHD 4K 60p 10-bit video recording, USB-C connectivity, redesigned menu system, cross quad pixel phase-detection AF, new BLX-1 battery rated for 520 shots (about 200 more than the OM-5), and faster sequential shooting. So what's the reward for the extra hard-earned money? The OM System OM-1 mirrorless camera weighs in at $1,000 more ($2,199.99). There's a single UHS-II memory card slot instead of two, and it uses the smaller 8.46Wh BLS-50 battery, which has less power, but does keep the body compact. Also, the mid-level camera did not receive the upgraded menu system that its big brother sports. So, what are the shortcomings when compared to the flagship OM-1? For starters, the micro-USB port on the OM-5 is older technology compared to the USB-C port on the OM-1 (but you do get native the USB webcam support). It could also serve as a solid backup camera to your existing OM-1 if you needed that. This is a compact, durable, highly capable camera that you can take just about anywhere. You'll see by looking at the comparison chart and key features, that much emphasis is placed on technology and weather resistance. Take a look at the following comparison illustration with the earlier Olympus E-M5 Mark III. Let's start with what you get for your $1,199.99. Mid-level cameras such as the OM-5 tend to get similar technology as their flagship brethren, but not all of the pro-level niceties. Which is right for you? Let's start with the mid-level OM-5. With the announcement of the OM System OM-5 mirrorless camera, Micro Four Thirds enthusiasts now have a clear choice between two new OM System cameras.
