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.- Small
- light
- weather sealed
- retro looks
- great viewfinder and image quality
- wish it had a flip LCD on back
So, the first of the OM-D series cameras really has a lot of making up to do. And pro Olympus OM leanings don't actually mean it's going to get an easier run on these pages. In fact, if it doesn't deliver, the disappointment is going to be far more profound and the criticism harsher.

Editor's Choice: Olympus OM-D E-M5 Review – Fast, Featured, Fun
This camera was designed for the shutterbug, especially the street photographer. With it's high speed, great low-light performance, and exceptional build quality, the OMD EM-5 is definitely on the short list of cameras to consider, and as such the OMD EM-5 is easily an Editor's Choice in my opinion.
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.
