OM System OM-5 Mark II review: This camera lets you forget your filters and leave your tripod at home

Photographer James Artaius using the OM System OM-5 Mark II.

The OM System OM-5 Mark II is lot like DeMar DeRozan. It knows what it does, and it does it incredibly well. Its game is built on fundamentals and is highly effective, even against modern players with more flash and pizazz. But when it shows up each season, it really doesn't evolve all that much – it just keeps on doing what it does. And doing it incredibly well.

Which is to say that the OM System OM-5 Mark II is everything you'd expect: it's packed with clever computational features, it's rugged and lightweight enough to be your best adventure buddy… and it's very similar to the original OM System OM-5 (and, indeed, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III before it).
