OM System OM-1 Mark II

The OM System OM-1 Mark II is positioned as the benchmark within the Micro Four Thirds system, standing out for its innovative 20 megapixel stacked sensor (Stacked BSI) and its TruePic They required a tripod. In addition, it inherits and improves the brand's computational functions, integrating neutral density filters (Live ND) of up to 7 stops and a high-resolution mode of 80 megapixels for static subjects, combining the agility of a small device with cutting-edge technical power. For action photographers, this camera is a formidable tool thanks to its burst speed of up to 120 fps and an autofocus system enhanced by artificial intelligence, capable of accurately recognizing and tracking birds, animals, humans and vehicles. Its robustness is another fundamental pillar: it has an IP53 certification for resistance to dust and splashes, which, added to its compact design, makes it the ideal companion for expeditions where the climate is hostile and the weight of the equipment is a critical factor. In terms of its uses, it is the definitive camera for nature, bird and sports photography, where its crop factor (which doubles the focal length of the lenses) allows you to get closer to the action with telephoto lenses that are much lighter than full-frame lenses. It is also excellent for macro photography due to its inherent depth of field and automatic focus stacking functions, and for hiking or adventure travel, allowing photographers to document extreme environments with complete confidence and without the physical burden of heavy equipment.
