Olympus OM-D E-M5 review by halfmac

The best m43rds to date. I put my hands on an Olympus OM-D (EM-5) and I loved it right away. It left the store with me. I have been testing it on real shoots. The camera did a great job. I shot both stills and movies. When Olympus first announced the camera I was impressed but was not that excited.
Pros:
  • Small
  • light
  • weather sealed
  • retro looks
  • great viewfinder and image quality
Cons:
  • wish it had a flip LCD on back

Like big digital SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras, the Olympus dishes up terrific image quality, a pro-grade metal body and plenty of interchangeable...
