Thank you for the video introducing the OM5 and OMD Mark IV! I'm in search of a small and compact camera, and this very useful. Thank you!

[@RadCameraMan]

I am glad it was useful. What do you intend to use your camera for?

[@PoYinChang]

@@RadCameraMan I am searching for a camera for traveling. Do you have any recommendations for two cameras and suitable lenses? Thanks.

I recommend the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III. It is slightly bigger than the OM-5 but its battery lasts substantially longer and it can be used while plugged into USB-C power. In terms of lens, I recommend the Olympus M.Zuiko Pro 12-45mm F4. This lens covers the necessary range for taking photographs while travelling and it is one of the sharpest lenses of the M.Zuiko Pro series. It is also very small and light (7cm, 254g). The OM-5 is good but its battery runs out quickly and it cannot be used while plugged into USB. So you can charge the OM-5 with USB but you cannot use it at the same time - so either charge or use. Also, the USB port is Micro USB instead of USB-C so if you are travelling I think having a single USB-C cable and adapter is more convenient that carrying different cables for different devices. The E-M10 IV is also good but it is not as "pro" as the other two. So it lacks some features and the stabilisation is not as good as the others. But in terms of size and weight, this is the best Olympus camera.

@@RadCameraMan Thank you for your comprehensive recommendations regarding cameras and lenses. I had considered the OM-D E-M1 Mark III to be an excellent choice; however, unfortunately, it is no longer the latest generation and is difficult to purchase in my country. I may consider the OM-1 as an alternative to the OM-D E-M1 Mark III. Thank you, the Olympus M.Zuiko Pro 12-45mm F4 has been added to my lens wishlist. Also, I appreciate the clear comparison between the OM-5 and the E-M10 IV. The latter particularly impressed me with its tilting monitor, compact size, and lightweight design-it seems like a compact delight that I'm sure I will love. Thank you for your reliable advice on photography gear.

@@PoYinChang It might be worth having a look at the OM-1 videos to make sure none of its shortcomings are a deal breaker for you. kzbin.info/aero/PL42hO7UHafKteBUOYPEaHx-aCtCgk-lyu

[@planeador21]

thank you for this! I am looking to buy a second hand em5iii or em10iv (almost same price) and this video is very useful

[@RadCameraMan]

I'm glad it was useful. In my opinion the E-M5 III is much better overall even though in some areas the E-M10 IV has superior features. In case you want more in-depth information. I have separate videos for each: E-M10 IV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inzPi4Samt6mpKs and the E-M5 III: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqawnZSmesZ8d8k and some more comparisons: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSbpZiCZ7KnpNU
