While some full-frame and medium format purists scoff at Micro Four Thirds cameras, don’t be swayed if you are looking for a powerful, compact, mirrorless camera alternative that won’t weigh you or your bank balance down.
There is currently a great deal on the OM System OM-1 Mark II camera, a top of the range model from the company formerly known as Olympus. In our review, the OM System OM-1 II got a full five stars, an accolade our notoriously hard-to-please reviewers only give to the finest gear.
Several members of the AP team really love this camera, and I am a firm fan of its predecessor, the OM-1.
You can get now get the OM System OM-1 Mark II with the excellent 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II lens at a fab price – this is a much better proposition than your average ‘kit’ lens, and really shows the advantages of light but far-reaching Micro Four Thirds glass.
