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

The only camera kit I ever regretted buying, just didn't deliver the results for me. Portrait photography was uninspiring with this. The only good lens was the 45mm f1.8.

Triumph of the Form Factor
SLR lovers never had it this good. The entire camera scene seems to have exploded in the past 3-4 years and getting your hands on a "mean" machine is no longer as difficult as it used to be .

It may have a 16-megapixel sensor, but advanced tech allows it to shoot up to 65 megapixels
It may not be a large and bulky digital SLR, but the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II is a heavy hitting camera that's designed especially for those of you who desire advanced controls -- controls of the sort that can tailor almost every single aspect of your photographs before you even transfer them to a...
Pros:
- Crisp image quality
- Advanced controls and highly customisable
- High quality EVF
Cons:
- Left-hinged screen feels unintuitive on this camera

Olympus OM-D E-M5 review
Since the introduction of the Olympus Pen E-P1 in June 2009, the compact system camera (CSC) has taken the world by storm. The compact-sized Pen E-P1 was a clear homage to the original Olympus Pen series – a half-frame camera that spanned more than two decades – but with the added benefit of digital...

Olympus OM-D E-M5 review
Micro Four Thirds cameras are coming fast and furious, and getting better and more technically impressive all the time. For its latest offering, however, Olympus looked backward for inspiration rather than forward. The OM-D E-M5's design harkens back to the 1970's, to Olympus' old OM-1 film SLR.
Pros:
- Excellent image and video quality
- Blistering performance
- Extremely attractive
Cons:
- Expensive for a Micro Four Thirds camera
- Smaller sensor than most $1,000-plus cameras

Olympus OM-D EM-5 Digital DSLR Camera Review
There's quite a lot to like about the OM-D EM-5. If I had to mention something negative, it would be the small buttons although they do allow for a larger screen so it's really more of a positive trade off than a minor gripe.

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Review: A Classic Revived
If I were in the market for a mirrorless, interchangeable lens compact digital and was not wedded to any particular manufacturer or system, the E-M5 would probably be it. Of all the other cameras in this class that I've already reviewed, I like this one the best.
Pros:
- Good images and video
- DSLR-like feature set
- Compact
- stylish form factor
Cons:
- Costly body-only configuration
- grip and lenses add expense
- A 2x crop factor doesn't lend itself to wide angle shooting

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Review
As I have pointed out in the beginning of this review, I have been looking for a good mirrorless camera for a while now, mainly to complement my professional DSLR gear. While I absolutely love the image quality, speed and capabilities of my Nikon DSLR cameras, my biggest issue to date has been...
