OM System, the company formerly known as Olympus, is attracting a lot of interest at the moment with its new OM-3, but you can get some great deals on its older cameras too.
We say ‘older’ but these cameras are still very, very capable, a case in point being the OM System OM-5. It’s now squeezing in under the magic $1000 mark thanks to this deal on Amazon US.
As we said in our original review, the OM System OM-5 packs a big punch, offering advanced photo features, improved image stabilisation, excellent JPEG output with exceptionally pleasing colour, IP53 weather-sealing and updated video features.
Yes it’s Micro Four Thirds rather than full-frame, but high image resolution is definitely not everything (and you get a lot of camera for your money as well as access to lots of great-value lenses).
OM System OM-5 key features
- 20.4MP Four Thirds sensor
- ISO 200-6400 (extended: L64-25600)
- 30fps shooting
