The Olympus OM-D E-M5 is a historic, highly acclaimed mirrorless digital camera that blends classic analog styling with groundbreaking digital engineering. Built around a 16.1-Megapixel Live MOS sensor and the TruePic VI image processor, the E-M5 delivers stunning still images and Full HD video in a remarkably compact, weather-sealed magnesium alloy chassis. As the pioneer of Olympus’s legendary 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization and the high-speed FAST AF system, this nimble micro four thirds camera body offers professional-grade control, lightning-fast response times, and exceptional portability for travel, street, and documentary photographers.
CONDITION NOTE (WELL USED / VALUE GEAR)
This camera body is explicitly graded in Well Used condition due to heavy cosmetic wear and minor internal optical artifacts. It is priced significantly lower to offer maximum value for shooters seeking pure field utility over cosmetic perfection.
Body Cosmetics: The magnesium alloy exterior chassis shows heavy signs of use, including a large amount of scratches and finish wear across the surface plates and edges.
Rear Screen: The 3.0-inch tilting OLED glass display exhibits visible scratches. These are purely surface-level blemishes and do not affect the color accuracy, touch-responsiveness, or brightness of the panel during live view or menu navigation.
Sensor Artifacts: There are two small dust specks located underneath the sensor glass. During normal wide-open shooting (e.g., f/1.8 to f/8), these specks remain invisible. However, when stopping down to a narrow aperture, the center speck begins to become subtly visible in your images starting around f/13. This camera remains highly usable, especially for portraiture, street, and low-light photography where wider apertures are favored.
Included Flash: Comes packaged complete with the native, weather-sealed Olympus FL-LM2 Electronic Flash accessory.
Revolutionary 5-Axis IBIS & Blazing Speed
World’s First 5-Axis Image Stabilization: Features a groundbreaking sensor-shift mechanism that compensates for horizontal shift, vertical shift, rotary roll, yaw, and pitch. Unlike traditional 2-axis systems or lens-based stabilization, this in-body system stabilizes every mounted lens, effectively neutralizing blur even when the photographer is walking or running.
FAST AF System & 240 fps Sensor Drive: Utilizing Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology, the 16.1MP sensor sends data to the processor at a blistering 240 frames per second. This delivers incredibly fast autofocus response times, cuts down viewfinder blackout, and powers a predictive 3D tracking AF matrix that follows subjects across the X, Y, and Z axes.
9 fps High-Speed Continuous Capture: Never miss a critical moment with sequential burst speeds reaching up to 9 frames per second in Single AF mode, allowing you to track and freeze fast-paced sports action or fleeting wildlife behaviors with ease.
Weather-Sealed Durability & Classic Ergonomics
Rugged Magnesium Alloy Shell: The iconic, retro-inspired body shape is constructed from premium magnesium alloy, making it exceptionally durable while remaining significantly lighter and smaller than a traditional DSLR.
Dustproof and Splashproof Engineering: Outfitted with an extensive network of internal, ring-shaped rubber seals that hermetically protect the internal electronics from sand, dust, rain, and water spray. Full environmental sealing is achieved when paired with weather-resistant M.Zuiko lenses.
Micro Four Thirds Lens Ecosystem: Fully compatible with the vast, ever-expanding catalog of native Micro Four Thirds lenses from Olympus, Panasonic, and premium third-party manufacturers.
Advanced EVF & Tilting OLED Touchscreen
120 fps High-Definition EVF: Features a bright, 1.44-million dot eye-level electronic viewfinder with a lag-free 120 fps refresh rate, 100% field-of-view coverage, and a 1.15x magnification factor. An integrated eye sensor switches seamlessly between the finder and the rear monitor. Full exposure adjustments and tone curves are displayed in real-time at the bottom of the screen.
3.0″ Tilting OLED Touchscreen: The crisp 3.0-inch rear display panel tilts up and down for effortless low-angle macro shooting or high-angle crowd framing. The responsive touch interface enables instantaneous touch-to-focus tracking, touch shutter release, and intuitive image review playback.
Live Bulb Exposure Preview: Perfect for astrophotography, light painting, and long exposures of waterfalls or fireworks. The Live Bulb feature constantly refreshes the unfolding exposure on the OLED monitor at preset intervals, letting you see the image build in real-time so you can close the shutter at the exact moment of perfect exposure.
Cinematic Full HD & Creative Art Filters
Full HD 1080i Video Recording: Captures high-definition 1920 x 1080 video tracks utilizing the edit-friendly MOV format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) with stereo sound support. Advanced movie features include unique “Echo” effects that leave momentary residual trails of a subject’s motion.
In-Camera Art Filters: Expand your creative freedom with 11 specialized processing modes, including Key Line (which exaggerates edges to create an illustration effect), Cross Process II, and Dramatic Tone II, eliminating the need for post-production editing software.
