Now My Favorite
I'm a camera junkie. Thanks to Ebay I've bought and sold perhaps 100+ cameras and countless more lenses. One of my favorite options has been combining a new generation digital camera with one of my older manual focus "legacy" lenses. This camera is perfect for that application. The in-body stabilization feature means ANY lens I put on this camera with get the benefit of image stabilization. That alone is a huge selling feature. Yes, I have to buy a lens adapter (cheap, usually less than $20 on Ebay)...if I want to mount say an old manual focus Nikon AI-S lens but suddenly ALL of those legacy lenses now get the benefit of image stabilization. Here's one PERFECT example of why I like this option: Take my Nikon AI-S 50mm f/1.2 lens and, using a bought on Ebay Nikon to M4/3 adapter, mount the lens on my Olympus E-M5. Given the M4/3 crop factor of 2 this lens now acts just like a 100mm f/1.2 lens WITH image stabilization! Of course, the Olympus primes with autofocus are great too. At first I was put off by their truly tiny size and the fact they're made in ChXXX...but I've learned to love these lenses. They truly "deliver" great quality shots...and the fact that they're small and light and relatively inexpensive is great. When mounted to my E-M5 autofocus is insanely FAST and quiet. Bottom line is I've almost abandoned my SLR cameras in favor of mirrorless cameras. It's a tough thing to admit...but the smaller, lighter, Made in XXXXX stuff is REALLY good!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

NOT USER FRIENDLY.
Difficult to set settings for F-stop using the dials. Not intuitive at all. My mail camera is a Canon 7D and settings are all at your fingertips I always somehow end up over or underexposing and cannot switch it back easily without having to go to the screen and resetting. By then the shot is almost ALWAYS missed. When you do manage to get settings right, the shots come out great. It's just fighting the camera to get to those settings is enough to make you want to throw the camera against a brick wall. Not a good low light or night camera. Trying to take photos of the night sky is a nightmare. You can never get a good view through the viewfinder...that, and it almost always nearly blinds you because it is a digital viewfinder. An LCD right up against your eye. Nobody wants that.. It hurts your eyes in the dark. Also, If you have a slower SSD card, your processing times to save a picture is always going to mess up any quick shots you might want to take...it sits there flashing while it's writing to the card. I like that it's small and cute and an excellent performer when you manage to get the settings right, but trying to set those settings on the fly is like pulling teeth. Way too stressful to try and take a good picture in changing light conditions. I cannot imagine many professional photographers using this as a daily driver. The Canon had a learning curve and it wasn't too difficult to operate after a few tries. The learning curve on this thing is pretty much a wall. Pay the extra cash and get yourself a camera that is more user friendly. Less stress means you get better pictures.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Olympus quality true to form!
Excellent Camera. Controls are convenient and easy to set up. Paired up with an Olympus M. Zuiko 14-150 mm lens, it makes a great carry camera ready for most situations. This particular camera was refurbished directly by Olympus, and it was like a new, unused, camera in mint condition for much less cost than purchasing new. The M4/3 mount and 4/3 sensor makes for a compact camera that takes excellent quality pictures. A great value for a great camera.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

OM-D Power with Great Image Quality
Yes, this is not Olympus' latest permutation, but what a great camera! It is compact, very usable and the kit lenses produce outstanding image quality for the money. Plus there are some awesome primes and pro lenses available. The OM-D E-M5 has something of a learning curve, but it can be configured as you want and if all else fails there are always automatic and program modes. Because it has an electronic viewfinder (EVF), there is no mirror box and hence, no mirror vibration and less shutter noise. And the short flange distance allows for the adaptation of numerous other lens makes if you're into that. The EVF is bright, can let you preview light levels before you shoot, and when the depth-of-field button is pushed, the view remains bright, unlike a DSLR. It is a compact, handy camera. My kit used to take up an entire, full-sized camera bag with extra lens cases, but with the Olympus, all I have to carry is a small case not larger than a loaf of bread and about as light.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Olympus OMD EM5
This possibly the finest digital camera I have ever owned, and I have owned many including Nikons, Canon's, Sigmas and Fujis. The image sharpness and overall quality is superior to any of those others I own, including the Nikon D3200. I attribute this to the 5-axis image stabilizer and the Olympus lenses. Olympus lenses are sharp edge to edge and corner to corner with little or no vignetting. The built in EVF is also a pleasure to use, providing high resolution and accurate exposure information. Some features could use improvement, like the menu system. This is a very small camera, so if you have large hands it may be awkward for you to access all the control buttons. The position of the shutter release is too far back on the top of the camera for perfectly comfortable operation, needs to be further forward and angled forward. I added an aftermarket grip to the camera which helped a lot. I use a variety of lenses on this camera with adapters, but the Olympus lenses are superior to almost anything else I own. The built in image stabilizer on the camera body works just fine with manual control lenses, so that is not an issue. Overall, I am very pleased with this camera!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Solid Little Camera
When I pick up this camera, it seems to weigh more than I think it will. That's a good thing ---- the density of the unit makes it feel like it's built like a tank. The eyecup viewfinder (EVF) is superb, as it has very high resolution, and the pixels are not visible. It's almost as good as an optical viewfinder. The camera is very customizable, but that means that there are many nested menus. LENSES - Most of the Olympus Micro 4/3 cameras are more compact than the Panasonic Micro 4/3 cameras. I have a Lumix GH3, and the Panasonic lenses I have for that camera of course can be employed on the OM-D M5 Mark II camera. However, in general, the Panasonic lenses are physically larger than the Olympus versions. I suspect one factor that plays into this is that most of the Panasonic lenses have Image Stabilization in the lenses themselves. Olympus bodies use Image Stabilization at the sensors. Obviously, the extra motors or solenoids (?) that are used in the Lumix lenses takes up some space. The point here is that the larger Lumix lenses appear to be on the large size for the small size of the M5's camera body. Ergonomically, I mean. Bottom line --- I recommend that any extra lenses that an Olympus camera owner wants to purchase, you should try to stay with the Olympic line. THE 14-42mm ZOOM KIT LENS that comes with many Olympus cameras is not the best. I tried using one and I found it to be unremarkable. For a new purchaser, I recommend skipping that lens and buying the M5 body only, and then getting one of the PRO zoom lenses, or a 50mm or 17mm prime kens. BTW I have the 45mm Olympus lens, and it is a superb lens and is one of my favorites.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Compact, rugged, great images, highly adaptable
This E-M5 replaces another that I've used since 2014, taking tens of thousands of images. It finally died (a broken battery compartment door that is no longer available) and I looked at the Mk2 but don't like the way the screen is hinged. I take thousands of photos each year for my collector car auction reports and don't baby the camera or lens, yet the E-M5 has kept going, doing exactly what I need it to do including excellent exposure/aperture control and the often-used exposure adjustment to compensate for the harsh backlighting often encountered at auctions. It works well in low light conditions where the stability control helps produce sharp images without flash. I don't use most of the functions, having arrived at a setup that works for the work I do, the shots I need and the situations in which I shoot, but the E-M5's range of setup options is one of the valuable features that allowed me to find the set that works, then leave it alone. In the end the fact that I bought another E-M5 instead of going for the new Mk2 is ample evidence of how practical, effective and rugged the E-M5 is.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

smaller camera works like a larger one
So far this camera works great. I recommend getting the micro 4/3 lenses. I used an adapter with my 4/3 lens from my E-510 and the auto focus is very slow. It is not an "Olympus" adapter, but an off brand one that was a third the price, so that may be the problem. Purchased a micro 4/3 14-150 which takes the place of two of my other lenses (14-42 and 40-150) That made a big difference.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Little gem on the prairie
Fantastic camera even though it is a 10 years old workhorse . It still perform as if it is a newly launched camera with numerous good features.. Pictures are sharp and is so compact in its size that makes you like to hold it all days long.
