OM System OM-5 OM-5 Black 2022
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.
