OM System OM-1 vs Panasonic Lumix BGH1

The OM System OM-1 and the Panasonic Lumix BGH1 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the OM System OM-1 if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (20.4 against 10.2 MP); stabilisation in the body, which steadies every lens; and a newer model (2022 against 2020), which usually means better autofocus and video. On these specs the Panasonic Lumix BGH1 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it.
