Confident Captures with this Mirrorless Marvel

According to my experience, the Olympus E-P5 16" produces amazing images with its 16MP Live MOS sensor. The camera's compact size makes it easy to carry anywhere and its fast autofocus ensures sharp shots. The WiFi and touchscreen functions simplify the sharing and editing process. However, the camera may not be suitable for those looking for a professional-level performance in low light conditions. Still, this digital camera is a great addition to your electronics collection.

Pros
  • Worth your money
Cons
  • Modernity

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

I've been using the camera for almost half a year and still can't get used to the huge electronic functionality. before her ten years used DSLRs from film to digital. I just can’t get used to the small size of the carcass, because. I have a healthy paw and I even tried to use Pentax k-10 with a butblock, and here is some kind of matchbox with a lens. There is no built-in viewfinder and I constantly catch myself on the fact that if I want to shoot something, the first thing I do is raise the…

Pros
  • A great little camera that you can take with you everywhere, because. weight and size sometimes play a big role. Excellent picture quality with a good lens. What am I talking about? This is true for all cameras. Very good work at high ISO. If you do not turn on noise reduction, then you can achieve very good quality at ISO 2022 or more. Great as number two in the photographer's arsenal, because. allows you to shoot almost "on the fly" - it starts up quickly and is quickly ready for work. The ability to shoot at shutter speeds of 1/8000, which most DSLRs cannot afford (I do not take into account the top Nikon and Canon) Swivel screen that allows you to build a frame from a position "above your head" without a tripod
Cons
  • A weak battery, although, compared to the OM-D 1, it has a very good one. The built-in noise reduction is so-so, when the picture is enlarged, artifacts from its work are visible, it is treated by turning it off. It is better to remove it later in the editor, if necessary. The inability to control shooting through OLYMPUS Capture was frustrating. Sometimes it is required, but rarely, so life does not interfere. Swivel screen adjustable in one plane only. I would like it sometimes in the other too, but this is not critical and I frankly get to the bottom :) The lack of a built-in viewfinder and the unrealistic high cost of the native one, which can be purchased separately and inserted into a hot shoe. No X-sync pin. For me, this is a significant drawback, because. I often use old style off-camera flashes. The price of various goodies, such as a cable release, viewfinder and other offal, is quite high, but this is solved either by homemade products or by our Asian neighbors - the Chinese. They have everything the same, but three or four times cheaper, and even if something fails, the same cable, it will not be a pity to buy a couple more to replace.

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Excellent system camera. Allows you to get a good result, in almost any conditions. In terms of convenience, it is comparable with professional equipment, in size with a classic rangefinder. Excellent optics, produced by several companies, allows you to assemble a system for every taste. Since fast lenses are very small and light, I mainly use primes on the mic, which I could not afford in a mirror system. In general, for me, this camera is almost perfect.

Pros
  • Excellent picture quality, excellent jpeg, you can forget about raw. Very functional, comfortable, excellent ergonomics. The two control wheels and their function switch are a miracle. Compact size and swivel screen. Long battery life.
