Pros:
  • Easy to Use
  • Fast Shutter Speed
  • Good in Low Light
  • Great Resolution
  • Large Clear LCD
  • Small / Compact
Cons:
  • Short Battery Life

An awful lot of camera in a compact body

The E-M5 is, without question, is a very accomplished Micro Four Thirds camera and one of the most capable mirrorless option available. It has flaws and are relate to continuous autofocus. But, however, the E-M5 is an awful lot of camera in a compact and attractive body.
Pros:
  • Bright Punchy Jpegs
  • Durable
  • Good Level Of Direct Cont
  • Great Features
  • Great Picture Quality
  • Lightweight
  • Simple Controls
  • Very Fast Autofocus
Cons:
  • Focus Tracking Unreliable

Best!

The Oly OMD has to be one of the best cameras I've ever owned. I've been a professional photographer for 25+ years traveling the world shooting for magazines and stock. I own Nikon,Leica and Canon pro gear.In many situations the OLY aces past the Nikon D7000 in focus and image quality.

Fantastic Camera!

Really loving this camera so far, high end photos and video from this tiny little thing! Kit lens isn't bad, comes with a macro feature which is great, and also electronic zoom for smooth video. All in all a great little camera!

Olympus OM-D E-M5

This camera is compact and easy to hike with. The pictures are excellent, have developed several 16 x 20 with great results. The camera works great for HDR photos, just set bracketing and fast sequential shooting.
Pros:
  • Image Stabilization in camera so lenses are affordable
Cons:
  • You will need to study and practice with the camera to get all features figured out

great camera just needs price fixing as this camera is two years old and the newer replacement EM10 is only very slightly more expensive.

smaller camera works like a larger one

So far this camera works great. I recommend getting the micro 4/3 lenses. I used an adapter with my 4/3 lens from my E-510 and the auto focus is very slow. It is not an "Olympus" adapter, but an off brand one that was a third the price, so that may be the problem.

Love my Olympus!

This is my 3rd Oly camera and likely the best! The performance and features rival any camera on the market. The pictures and video are outstanding. I was so impressed, I bought my wife one as well. I cannot wait for our SCUBA trip to St. Maarten and Kitts.
