Over the past year there has been an influx of retro-styled cameras making their way onto the market; now it's the turn of Olympus to enter the ring with the film SLR-inspired Olympus OM-D E-M5.
I have only had the E-M5 for a week but I think I have really put it to the test. The first thing I noticed like everyone else is how small the E-M5 is. It is about as small as I want a camera to be. Any smaller and I don't think I could work with it well.
- Easy to use
- Beautiful Olympus colors
- Low noise (for Olympus)
- Lightweight
- Viewfinder in the center of the camera
Olympus OM-D E-M5 review
Astounding in almost every way, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 sets the standard for compact system cameras- Very fast autofocus
- Sublime picture and video quality
- Not as big as it looks
- Buttons feel a bit naff
A big step forward at its time
Have had this camera for one-and-a-half years now. It was a revolution in mirrorless cameras (and photography in general) when it first came out. I also have a Nikon D7000, but use this one more due to sheer portability.
Astonishing camera
Overall a stellar package with the kit lens. The obvious items are that this is a really small package for SLR capabilities. I get really sharp photos overall and very little noise in low light.- Sharp photos
- great low light
- beautiful viewfinder
- touchscreen focusing
- weather sealed
- Price
- would like brighter kit lens
Best camera I ever owned
I belong to a photography club were we go on monthly photo shoots which some of them have to be existing light no flash. The last one was very dark with only limited lighting from windows and fluorescent. I had to use a high ISO and the results were great.- Easy to Use
- Fast Shutter Speed
- Good Battery Life
- Good in Low Light
- Great Resolution
- Large Clear LCD
- Small / Compact
