What does the Olympus sale mean for users – and the wider camera industry?

Resolution is measured using ISO resolution charts, dynamic range is measured using DxO Analyzer test equipment and DxO Analyzer is also used for noise analysis across the camera's ISO range. Our lab tests measure resolution, dynamic range and signal to noise ratio. We test DSLR and mirrorless cameras both in real-world shooting scenarios and in carefully controlled lab conditions.

They may not warrant an upgrade if you already own the TG-5, but if you have an older Tough or you're looking for an outdoor camera that can go in the sea, get covered in sand, be dropped onto concrete, and still take pictures and video even in freezing temperatures, this is the best everything-proof camera out there. And the OM-5 is weatherproof to the IP53 standard, making it the official leader in its class when it comes to withstanding water, dirt and dust in the field.Īt first glance, the Olympus Tough TG-6 seems indistinguishable from its predecessor, the TG-5. The in-body image stabilization is now a base 6.5 stops, hitting 7.5 when used with the company's Sync-IS lenses, and an upgraded processor powers the brilliant Live ND Filters, giving you up to 4-stops of ND simulation.Īutofocus systems are improved, with better face and eye recognition along with Starry Sky AF mode to make astrophotography a doddle. While the familiar 20.4MP sensor may seem conservative in pixel count, it offers 50MP handheld shooting (or 80MP on a tripod) for when you need a resolution boost. Except where the OM-1 was built for advanced photographers, the OM-5 is built for the adventurers. Technically it's a successor to the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III (opens in new tab), but truthfully it has more in common with the flagship OM System OM-1 (opens in new tab). So while the OM System OM-5 is the first camera not to bear the Olympus logo, this body bleeds the technological legacy of the brand. ![]() You can take the camera out of Olympus, but you can't take Olympus out of the camera. ![]()
