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!

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.
