Get our top-rated travel camera, the OM SYSTEM OM-5 Mark II, for under 900

FULL STORY ======================================================================

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.

The cashback can be claimed on the official OM website once you've purchased the camera. It's as simple as entering in a few details about the camera before submitting the form. You'll also get a 5-year warranty and a battery thrown in for free, further sweetening the deal on this exceptional travel camera. Today's best OM System OM-5 Mark II deal

After 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 Deal

It'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
