Olympus cameras have held a special place in photographers’ hearts over the years. The devices are sturdy, offer great images, and are visually appealing. However, with tariffs, things have changed, and new cameras can be prohibitively expensive. So, here are a few devices from the company that are old but very affordable. Additionally, they continue to perform just as they did before.
Olympus E5
The Olympus E-5 is a sturdy DSLR camera. The grip is great, and you also have a bright OLED viewfinder. The camera packs a 12MP Four Thirds sensor, which allows you plenty of details to work with and 11 AF points. The device can focus just as accurately as the 7D, making it a good option for serious enthusiasts. Moreover, the image quality is good, offering saturated colors and depth. You can also recover the photos with ease. As we expressed, “Even when you tend to underexpose the images a bit, you can still get some really nice colors out of them. Many photographers will really appreciate this if they don’t do much post production work (or don’t want to.)”
Olympus Pen F
The Olympus Pen F was introduced in 2016 and is considered iconic today. The Device offers a 20MP sensor, 5-axis image stabilisation, and a 2.35MP OLED EVF. There are also 80MP high-res shots in RAW format, and you get a retro-looking camera. The autofocus is effective in bright light, and the image quality is equally impressive. In fact, the camera is known for its black and white images, which appear as if it was shot on film. If you are looking for a compact camera that offers a lot of room for images, then this is definitely for you.
Olympus OMD EM1
The Olympus OMD EM1 is one of the earlier mirrorless offerings from the company. The camera features a 16MP LIVE MOS sensor, 81 AF points, and a burst rate of 10 frames per second. There is also an ISO of up to 25,600, full HD video, and 5-axis image stabilisation. The camera offers a sturdy build, and the placement of buttons is great. The sensor produces versatile images, which makes it easy to edit pictures. The dynamic range is good, the colors are nice, and there are plenty of details. The ISO output is also clean at a higher range. Even today, it remains one of the company’s greatest productions. And it is now under $500.
