The OM-D is considered a second generation of Micro 4/3 cameras and this one is a game changer in my opinion. They really set the bar high with this model and hit the right spots. Aside from its retro-cool looks, Olympus packed some really good technology that makes this a very compelling choice.

Olympus OM-D review
Cameras with a retro look and feel are big business right now, a trend Olympus arguably started with its original E-P1 Compact System Camera (CSC) from 2009, which harked back to its maker's ‘Pen' camera range of the 1950s/60s.- Solid build and retro style
- Angle-adjustable OLED
- Integral viewfinder
- Backplate buttons are tiny
So much power in such a small package
Shooting at high ISO no problem - toy like size but very powerful. Sold my bulky Canon system and bought something as powerful and now portable. Street shots a pleasure. Expensive though.- Durable
- Almost Too Small Buttons
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 .
Love my Olympus!
This is my 3rd Oly camera and likely the best! The performance and features rival any camera on the market. The pictures and video are outstanding. I was so impressed, I bought my wife one as well. I cannot wait for our SCUBA trip to St. Maarten and Kitts.
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.- Excellent image and video quality
- Blistering performance
- Extremely attractive
- Expensive for a Micro Four Thirds camera
- Smaller sensor than most $1,000-plus cameras
