Best Pick

OM System OM-5 OM-5 Black 2022

75.6 Streaming Score
20.4MP micro-four-thirds 4K @30fps
Why we recommend this

A 20.4MP Live MOS sensor, TruePic IX processor, and 6.5‑stop IBIS deliver 30fps burst shooting and 4K/30p video in a weather‑sealed body. At just 366g, it offers exceptional portability for outdoor use, though its 310‑shot battery is modest. Best for travel vloggers and adventure photographers who need ruggedness without bulk, but not for product photography requiring higher resolution.

OM System OM-D E-M1 Black

49.5 Streaming Score
16.3MP micro-four-thirds 1080p
Why we recommend this

It pairs a 16.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor with 5-axis image stabilization delivering 5 stops of shake correction and a weather-sealed, 443g body built for harsh environments. The 10fps burst shooting with hybrid phase- and contrast-detect autofocus, plus a 2.36M-dot EVF and articulating touchscreen, keep operation fast and flexible. This camera suits travel photographers who need rugged portability and reliable stabilization, but its aging 1080p video and modest still-image score make it less ideal for high-resolution photography.
