The OM System OM-1 is a Micro Four Thirds camera for wildlife, bird and outdoor photographers who want fast handling and light telephoto kits. Three things matter: IP53-rated dust and splash resistance, in-body stabilisation rated at 7 stops (8 with Sync IS lenses), and bursts of up to 50 fps with continuous autofocus or 120 fps with focus fixed. Autofocus uses 1,053 cross-type phase-detection points, video reaches C4K at 60p, and the battery is rated for about 520 shots per charge, in a 599 g body. The OM-1 Mark II that followed adds 1.5 stops of rated stabilisation and a larger burst buffer.
