When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission. This week, OM System announced the OM-5 II, a small, lightweight Four Thirds camera aimed at people looking to take pictures of their adventures. It features a familiar 20MP sensor, but now includes USB C for charging and a "CP" button that gives you quick access to its various computational photography features. Those multi-shot modes are one of OM System's biggest selling points, as its cameras can combine several exposures in-camera to achieve a variety of effects, such as focus stacking, a virtual ND filter or higher resolution. The gallery includes a few examples, with notes about which mode was used. See the sample gallery If you want to learn more about the OM-5 II, check out our first look video, which explains what it is, how it's different from the original OM-5 and discusses the general state of the Micro Four Thirds system. Please do not reproduce any of these images on a website or any newsletter/magazine without prior permission (see our copyright page). We make the originals available for private users to download to their own machines for personal examination or printing; we do so in good faith, so please don't abuse it.
