Great little camera

I switched to olympus because I wanted a small travel camera. I got the E-P7 but was frustrated with the auto-focus, especially when recording. The OM5 does a great job while still maintaining the small size!

Loving the OM-5

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.
