As we continue to reiterate, not everyone needs or wants a larger full-frame sensor, and there is lots of life left in the Micro Four Thirds cameras championed by OM System, and to a lesser extent, Panasonic

One of the best cameras from OM System, the company formerly known as Olympus, is the OM-5. We’ve found the OM System OM-5 with the high-quality M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm PRO lens reduced to £1099 for Amazon Prime Day, down from £1244.35. So you save just over £145.

With an unmatched lens range, we loved this versatile and impressive camera when it was released, as it produces great quality photos at very good prices. It is capable of good video too and the weather-sealing is a big bonus for nature and landscape photographers, especially at this time of year.

Not only that, but the camera looks great, too, with tasteful retro styling. When reviewed, the OM System OM-5 got the rare accolade of five stars.

In the US, you can also save on the camera. It can be found for $1299.99 on Amazon US, down from $1599.99. That’s an even better saving of $300!
