What does a camera need to do to be considered the best mirrorless camera for wildlife? It needs to feature the fastest autofocus system with subject detection; it needs a high-speed drive for sequential shooting; it needs to be weather-sealed; and it needs to handle beautifully. The OM System OM-1 Mark II does all that and more.
Packing a maximum 120fps blackout-free drive, a peerless autofocus system that quickly locks on to birds and animals, a long battery life, and robust IP53 waterproofing, the OM-1 Mark II is exceptional. I’ve been testing the camera for a month now, and in that time, I’ve captured some of my best wildlife photos yet. Aiding the camera’s prowess is up to 8.5-stops of IBIS and Live ND filters for landscape photography.
