Olympus OM-D E-M5 was released in the year 2012 and I think it was one of the most historically significant cameras for Olympus in the modern day digital era. Not only it revolutionized mirrorless cameras, the E-M5 Original has a magical charm that is difficult to replicate in other cameras. Even after all this time, using the E-M5 for my shutter therapy session recently in Kuala Lumpur, it is still such a wonderful camera to shoot with - it has decent image output, fast AF, good handling and ergonomics, 5-Axis Image Stabilization and all that made into a small, compact form body that looks super stylish. I hope OM Digital Solutions can recapture this charm in their next releases. I also made a POV video for my street shooting session, you can view it here (click).

Loved my E-M5 Mk 1, which I bought in 2012. Its performance was a substantial upgrade from previous Olympus m43's and most other mirrorless cameras in almost every function. Unfortunately Olympus/OM have never since introduced a new camera with such a significant upgrade in performance from previous models. My E-M5 developed shutter issues and was replaced by an E-M5iii in 2020. Materially better performing camera, but its build quality does not compare with the mk 1.
