OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras can be divided into two key categories – compacts, which have a fixed lens, and mirrorless cameras, which support interchangeable lenses. Let’s take a look in closer detail.
OM SYSTEM / Olympus mirrorless cameras
Here’s everything you need to know about OM SYSTEM / Olympus mirrorless cameras.
OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D
The stars of the show are the OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D line. They’re divided into three main lines:

OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D E-M1 series:
This is the professional line, boasting superior image quality, class-leading 5-axis image stabilisation, and the ability to create pin-sharp, high-resolution images handheld with clever in-camera compositing. The current leaders are the OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III and the flagship OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D E-M1X, which is equipped with professional-level 4K video capabilities.

OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D E-M5 series:
Pitched towards enthusiasts, the OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III builds off the success of the Mark II version to make a camera that’s capable in practically all weathers and shooting conditions. Its 21-point all cross-type on-chip phase detection autofocus system means you’ll never miss a moment.

OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D E-M10 series:
These cameras are aimed at beginner photographers, and they make for a fantastic way to learn the ropes of mirrorless photography. The OM SYSTEM / Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is the current model, with a compact design that makes it perfect to take everywhere.
OM SYSTEM / Olympus PEN
OM SYSTEM / Olympus PEN cameras are stylish and capable, perfect for fashion-conscious shooters and vloggers. The current camera in the series is the OM SYSTEM / Olympus PEN E-P7, which is perfectly calibrated for urban exploration, everyday photography, and shooting portraits that pop. With built-in Wi-FI and Bluetooth, the PEN EP-7 makes it the work of moments to share your images with your smart device via the OI.Share app.
OM SYSTEM / Olympus mirrorless cameras
OM SYSTEM / Olympus compact cameras are Tough by name, and tough by nature. The OM SYSTEM / Olympus Tough TG series are some of the best waterproof cameras around – unlike many similar cameras, they sport an optical zoom lens, allowing you to get closer to your subjects with no loss in quality.
The current model is the OM SYSTEM / Olympus Tough TG-6. An all-weather compact, it can be submerged in water to depths of up to 15m, is shockproof against drops of up to 2.1m, is crushproof up to 100kg, and is freezeproof down to temperatures of -10°C. It produces fantastic images too, with the combination of a 12MP backlit CMOS sensor and a 25-100mm f/2 optical zoom lens. The TG-6 is the perfect companion for any adventure!

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which lenses will fit OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras?
-
OM SYSTEM / Olympus mirrorless cameras use the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens mount. This is a broad standard that covers lenses made by both OM SYSTEM / Olympus and Panasonic Lumix – MFT lenses from both of these manufacturers can be used on cameras from both manufacturers, interchangeably! There are also plenty of third-party manufacturers making MFT lenses, such as Sigma and Tamron. You can browse the full range of MFT lenses here.
- Which OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras have Pro Capture mode?
-
Pro Capture mode is a powerful tool for burst shooting with OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras. It uses the electronic shutter to enable shooting at up to 60fps (frames per second), and starts recording the moment the shutter button is half-pressed, so you have a greater chance of capturing the crucial moment.
The following OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras offer Pro Capture mode:
- OM-D E-M1X
- OM-D E-M1 Mark III
- OM-D E-M1 Mark II
- OM-D E-M5 Mark III
- Tough TG-6
- Which OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras have live composite mode?
-
The OM SYSTEM / Olympus Live Composite mode is another powerful imaging tool. It lets you monitor a long exposure as it develops in real-time, taking the guesswork out of how long you should keep the shutter open for. The vast majority of OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras offer this mode – pretty much any recent digital camera will have the mode on it, so you should only have to double-check if you’re buying Used.
- Which OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras are weather-sealed?
-
OM SYSTEM / Olympus is rightly very proud of its weather-sealing – its mirrorless cameras have a reputation of being some of the most comprehensively weather-sealed around. All the OM-D mirrorless cameras have great weather-sealing, and will keep running in challenging conditions. The Tough TG cameras are obviously fully waterproof – the only cameras to be careful with are PEN cameras, which don’t always have weather-sealing. The PEN EP-7 is not weather-sealed.
