This past weekend I was able to spend time with some folks from Olympus to pick up an OM-D E-M5 for review. I get to play with a lot of cameras due to my job running Photo.net, and that's something I appreciate. But there are cameras and there are "cameras!

[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.
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.
