This year, I started doing a series on my YouTube Channel where I pick one OM System camera and one M.Zuiko lens and I go for a walk in nature to see what I can photograph. If you want to see the series of Morning Walk videos I’ve done so far check out my playlist […]

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.
