‘Few wildlife cameras come close to this’: why the OM System OM-1 Mark II is perfect for photographing birds in flight and other animals

OM System OM-1 Mark II.

It's no secret that I love animals and birds. If you've read any of my previous camera reviews, or have taken a look at my Instagram, you'll know that I absolutely adore photographing wildlife. It's my niche. But to be able to photograph wildlife properly, you need a telephoto lens that lets you get up close and personal with animals while still respecting their space — and I've spent the past weekend testing perhaps my favorite camera and lens combo yet.

The OM System OM-1 Mark II is, so far, one of the best mirrorless cameras I've had the pleasure of testing. Though I haven't published my full review of it yet (it will come soon, trust me), my first impressions of the camera are extremely positive. I spent the past weekend in nature, photographing Eurasian blue tits, European goldfinches, red deer, fallow deer, robins, and more. And honestly? I'm in love.
