Is the olympus om d e m5 good for wildlife?
Yes, it can work well for wildlife. Micro Four Thirds crops in, so a 300mm lens frames like 600mm on full frame, and you get that reach in a smaller, lighter package than most systems give you. The original Olympus OM-D E-M5 has five-axis stabilisation in the body and weather sealing for damp hides. Its Mark II adds a fully articulating screen, and the Mark III has 20.4MP.
For reach on the E-M5, I'd look at these:
- OM System M.Zuiko 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS, like 300-1200mm
- OM System M.Zuiko 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS II, like 200-800mm
- Olympus M.Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO, like 300-800mm
Wildlife is demanding, so read wildlife and sport first, and consider buying used to try a long lens cheaply.
