I bite bullet and upgraded from my Olympus em5 mark iii. the em5 mark iii is VERY similar to this camera and lots of reviewers have been harsh about that fact. This is true and somewhat of a letdown BUT that doesn't take away from the face this camera is excellent. For me, the eye detect AF and live ND features made the upgrade worth it since my em5 mark iii was getting a bit rough for wear. The eye detection autofocus is actually pretty good and now usable (it wasn't either on the em5 mark iii). There are some subtle upgrades I will enjoy such as the my menu feature as well. If you are upgrading from an em5 mark iii...perhaps this isn't a worthwhile upgrade but if you are looking for a small, super weather proof and versatile camera...then this is worth a look.

I use it as my travel and family camera and with the right lenses can do anything from portraits, documentation, sports and action, etc. My only gripe is not the plastic build (which I don't find cheap feeling) it is the overall build quality. My em5 mark iii started to fall apart after a few years and I assume this one will do the same. I bought it during the free extended warranty deal so I have a bit more peace of mind.

Up to now I am very satisfied with the camera. I have used it for pictures and taken some videos during the day and also during a performance at night. All the images and videos were of excellent quality. Considering that my previous camera is an Olympus EPL-1, this is a mayor upgrade for me!

I'm upgrading from aging point and shoot cameras in order to learn more about working with different lenses and in different modes. My priorities were: weather sealing, small size and light weight, and image stabilization. The OM-5 has all that and so much more. So far, I'm loving this camera and am happy with the progress I'm making in improving my photography.

The OM5 is a Swiss Army knife among $1000 class cameras. It does not excel at much, but does a whole lot of things well. Think of it as an EM-1 Mark 3 stuffed into a smaller body. That definitely is not a bad thing, as the Mark 3 is a very competent camera, and the smaller size and weight make the OM5 a more discrete tool. The electronic shutter is highly functional, and silent, since sensor read-out is rather speedy and rolling shutter usually is not an issue.The menu has been panned as being too complex, obtuse, etc., but I have never met a camera menu that was really straightforward and simple (to me). The camera begs to be customized to the user's preferences. That means that a beginner who uses the camera in green mode will surely miss out on some neat ... MoreThe OM5 is a Swiss Army knife among $1000 class cameras.

The weather sealing takes the worry out of being outdoors with the camera, assuming the lens in use is also weather sealed.The OM5 is not a world-beater, but is is a very nice, small, surprisingly capable, camera.
