Olympus has always been an innovative camera brand. For 63 years it has stuck to one mission – that of miniaturising. My first camera, an 11th birthday present in 1969, was an Olympus Pen EE, which squeezed 72 pictures on to a 36-exposure roll of 35mm film.

By far the best compact that I have used, picture quality A1, and settings to compare with anything that I have seen.

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.

[REVIEW-OLYMPUS OMD E-M5]
This is a 16 megapixel micro four thirds camera in a body reminiscent of Olympus OM 35mm SLRs, but a little smaller. The high resolution electronic viewfinder is built into the classic SLR hump. The LCD swivels vertically but not horizontally, so it is useful for waist- and low-level photography.
