Micro Four Thirds was probably the most daring and innovative when it comes to pushing the imaging boundaries of camera making. Over the years Panasonic and Olympus have released unique products that challenged the norm of camera stereotypes. I am exploring some of these products in this video.

Dpreview digged a bit more into the OM-5 features and said:

In conclusion, the OM System OM-5 might not be the most exciting new camera we’ve seen in 2022, it retains many special attributes. The fact that this didn’t grow a DSLR-shaped grip is actually kind of a blessing in a time that cameras are getting bigger and meatier. It’s nice to have this kind of retro-styled option that’s on the smaller side, has a long list of features, that retains and furthers OM System’s dedication to weathersealing.

• Faster processor
• Starry Sky AF, LiveND, and Handheld High-Res Shot
• IP53 rated weathersealing
• Improved image stabilization
• Reinforced bottom plate/tripod socket
• Native UVC/UAC webcam support
• Vertical orientation video shooting
• Uncapped video recording

It’s clear that these minor updates won’t make Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III owners run out to their local camera store to buy this as an upgrade. But as a camera for new shooters looking for something small that can do it all, the OM System OM-5 has a lot to offer.
