Is the olympus om d e m5 worth buying used?

Yes, I think the original OM-D E-M5 is worth a look used. It's from 2012, so it's old enough that the price should be well down, and it's still small, weather sealed, and has five-axis stabilisation in the body. The buying used guide makes the same point: a body a generation or two old is often most of the camera for much less money.

Before you pay, budget for a new genuine battery, because old ones lose capacity. If you want a fully articulating screen and the High Res Shot mode, the OM-D E-M5 Mark II is the step up, and it's worth comparing prices on both.
