The top position on our best travel cameras guide is taken by the Mark II version of the OM System OM-5. Despite not having the top-line specs for resolution, sensor, or autofocus, it more than makes up for it in portability, weather sealing, and stabilisation.
Better still, thanks to a £200 cashback deal, you can now snap up the silver variant of the five-star OM System OM-5 Mark II at Wex for just £855 (was £1,055). Black and the rather fetching Beige alternatives are also available for £899.
Today's best OM System OM-5 Mark II deal
OM System OM-5 Mark II: was £1,055 now £855 at Wex Photo VideoAfter getting the £200 cashback direct from OM, you'll be the owner of the latest OM-5 camera for the lowest price it's ever been. Our spotlight is on the silver variant, but if you'd prefer the classic Black or the all-new Beige, then they're available for £899, after cashback, of course.
View DealIt's not every day that we give out five stars, but we had absolutely no reservations about doing that for the OM System OM-5 Mark II. We said, "If what you need is a small, affordable and supremely versatile camera that can follow you anywhere, then this is it."
We found the detail rendition to be excellent with OM Pro lenses like the 12-45mm f/4 pro and OM primes like the 17mm f/1.8, 25mm f/1.8 and (especially) the 45mm f/1.8. The dynamic range is fantastic, although not as accomplished as a larger-sensor camera.
One of the highlights of the design is the weather sealing, which means you can use it in wet weather conditions without any concern of damaging the internals. It's also got excellent top-mounted twin control dials
If you're looking for a higher-specced alternative and aren't concerned about a little bit of additional weight, why not check out our guides to the best cameras for photography and the best mirrorless cameras?
