The OM System OM-5 is IP53-rated for dust and splashproofing, operates to -10°C, and delivers class-leading 7.5-stop 5-axis IBIS — the most weather-capable mirrorless at this price, built for outdoor and adventure photography.

Body-only — lenses required for full IBIS benefit add significant cost, as the maximum stabilization advantage requires pairing with OM System's optically-stabilized glass.
Source: Amazon.ca reviewerCollected in an earlier pass; not linked to a source thread.The OM-5 is the best camera for outdoor and adventure photographers who prioritize weather sealing and stabilization over sensor size. IP53 sealing to -10°C, 7.5-stop IBIS, and computational photography modes make it uniquely suited to landscape, wildlife, and travel photography in harsh conditions. If low-light indoor shooting or video quality are priorities, APS-C alternatives are better choices.
