I bought this a sidekick to my Om1 II and I find it is exactly what ineed to take on short trips. I already had to 12-100 f4 lens and the two go together very well. Having the OS system as the same as the OM1 II makes a big difference since I've already set many things to my taste. The size is perfect for travel with the single lens. I recently took it to Niagara Falls with the falls overspray (water and ice) getting onto the camera. Having the confidence of OM weather tolerance made making photos easier.

I've replaced my Canon R5 and Canon 24-105 f4 with the OM-5 Mark II and the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II for my travel kit. I love the size and weight savings this kit offers. The OM-5 Mark II is really an exceptional body, small, light, and very well built. It has great features without bogging down the menus like a Sony. I'm loving this camera.

First of all, the beige color is beautiful, supposed to be a limited edition, get it while it is still available! On features - the camera has everything one needs for taking pictures of one's life. OM System people got it just right - small, not too heavy to carry with me all the time, good grip even though I have large hands and long fingers, all the controls I need are right there, didn't need to reassign any buttons. Image stabilization is great - never had a smudged light-time picture. I love how small MFT lenses are; I often carry a small zoom in my pocket just in case and it doesn't bother me, but I mostly shoot with Laowa lenses for the fun of it. Weather sealing has never hurt anyone too. I am not interested in video at all - won't comment on video.

I have been shooting with the OM5 Mark ii for over 6 months now. I migrated to OM System after 15 years of shooting a Canon full frame camera. I would never go back. Image quality is amazing AND I no longer leave my kit at home because of weight considerations. And travelling becomes much easier as I won't kill my back caeeying a 40 pounds bag loaded with gear.

Loving the Camera and lens. This is the first good camera I ever purchased. The main selling point for me was the fact that the camera is weatherproof. Not having to worry about messing the camera up. Also, the warranty is excellent and encourages us to take the camera everywhere we go without having to worry about breaking it or messing it up. I purchased this for the wife for Christmas and she loves it.

I bought my first Olympus camera (OM-1) in 1974 and later an OM-2. When digital arrived I bought a E-m10 and later the E-M1iv because of the star light focus. This year I could not pass on the OM-5iii with its much easier to use menu and computational photo access. Its size appealed to me because of my field work; ounces count. Over the decades I've never had a problem with any of my Olympus cameras or Zuiko lenses.

I’ve used lots of cameras over the years years. Everything from high end medium format to professional dslrs. This camera is a pure joy to shoot with. Small, compact, and handles the elements to perfections. I am shooting more in the last few weeks than I have in last year. I want to go out because the om-5ii isn’t weighing me down. Would recommend all day long. For the price you are getting a camera that will grow with you and help you capture what you see. Great built in features for creativity and making the best use of your shoot.

OM-5 Mark II is a great upgrade from my EM-10 Mark III, love the fact it it weather proof and OM System has added to the grip making much more comfortable and secure to hold.

I had an Olympus E-M5 Mark III for about 7 years and decided to sell it and buy an E-M1 Mark III...followed by an Olympus PEN E-P7. Although those two cameras are great (I still have my E-M1.iii) I missed the mix of advanced features in a compact and light body, and when the OM-5.ii with the Sand Beige color was announced I knew I had to invest in it. It's been great to have so far and enjoy the more advanced features and new menu layout compared to my E-M5.iii

Nice upgrade to the OM5 and love the sand beige color. Just enough computational features to make it a worthwhile upgrade. I added a STC FOGRIP that has Arca-Swiss built into the bottom and all aluminum construction with a small fold down plate that rests against your palm for added stability. So much is in this small camera that it begs to go on a trip.
