Introduction and features

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 was the first camera in Olympus’s OM-D line of Micro Four Thirds compact system or mirrorless cameras, and hence it is sometimes referred to as the original OM-D. Its built-in electronic viewfinder and more SLR-like design distinguished it from the Olympus Pen series of compact system cameras. It was also aimed at more experienced photographers than the Olympus Pen or Pen Lite.

As the name suggests, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II is the replacement for the original E-M5 and it sits between the top-end OM-D E-M1 and the lower-level OM-D E-M10 in the Olympus range.

The E-M5 II uses a slightly modified version of the Four Thirds type (17.3 x 13mm) sensor in the original E-M5 but the effective pixel count remains at 16.1 million. It is coupled with the TruePic VII processing engine of the E-M1.
