First, I find it amazing that the E-M5 has not generated a review on Henrys yet? I bought this camera last November and I've had 7 months to play with it and here are my thoughts and impressions, in no particular order: - The camera has a beautiful retro look this is as functional as it is...

Factory refurb had issues.
This was a factory refurbished camera. It would lose time and date when the battery was changed. Olympus told me I me that I would have to send it in at my cost for repair. What do they actually do to refurbish one ?<br /><br />I returned it for a refund instead.
Pros:
- Fast Shutter Speed
- Good in Low Light
- Large Clear LCD
- Small / Compact
Cons:
- Complicated Controls

Some classic designs really have been around for so long, that you appreciate the beauty of them in a much deeper way, as it starts to grow on you. Things around such timeless designs can keep changing, but their stillness really makes them stand out and leaves a big impression on you.

Amazing
If you're hardcore, there's not enough lenses out yet. Best thing to drop in cameras in the 21St century.
Pros:
- Really compact compared to regular DSLR's
- Shoots amazing high quality photos
- Built in art effects make capturing unique photos really simple
- Everything feels (and is) high quality and very durable
- LCD screen is easy to use and articulation is a big help.
Cons:
- No wifi transfer to computer or GPS locating where photo was taken
- Not even sure if any cameras have these options, but I want them
