Om system om 1 vs om system om 5?

The OM-1 and OM-5 share the same 20.4-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, were both announced in 2022, and both have stabilisation in the body. The difference is the job. The OM-1 is the flagship, with a stacked sensor in a weather-sealed body. The OM-5 is small, weather sealed and stabilised, which makes it my pick for hiking. If you're looking at the OM-5 today, its successor, the OM-5 Mark II, keeps the same sensor and adds IP53 weather sealing.

Both take the same lenses, so the body is the real choice. A few I'd pair with either:

• OM System M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO II for a fast everyday zoom
• Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 for low light and portraits
• OM System M.Zuiko 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS II for wildlife
