Review: Olympus E-m5 mark i - The Original Mirrorless Camera

This is my 2025 review of the Olympus (OM System) E-m5 mark i. Priced around $250 USD, is the original E-m5 a good buy, or should you relegate it to the trash bin of history? Where does the E-m5 fit in Olympus’ lineup? How does this older camera compare to the newer models? And which lenses suit it best? I do my best in this review to answer those questions.
