I’ve been lucky enough to borrow the new OM System OM-1 Mark II before it’s official release. In this blog post I’ll go through some of the new features and share some images I’ve taken during the month I’ve had it.

I sometimes use the OM-5 as a second camera body to shoot with, especially when I’m travelling light with my OM-1 and the OM-5 as a vlogging camera, but also a second body. So I wanted to test out the OM-5 for some wildlife photography to see how it performs.

The OM-5 weighs 366 grams.

With the 12-45mm f/4 pro lens it weighs just over 600 grams, I can even bring the 40-150mm f/4 pro lens and it all weighs just over 1kg. It really is the kind of camera you can bring anywhere and not even notice that you’re carrying it.
