This is the digital camera Olympus should have made on day one - a true successor to the range of OM 35mm cameras. Like its film predecessors, the OMD is compact and elegant with brilliant optics. With an adaptor, the OM legacy lenses can be fitted but t...

Image quality is superb. Even at high ISO settings there is little noise and no noise reduction smudging. In RAW the pictures are even better. Ergonomically it is a delight and aesthetically it is gorgeous.
There is a constant low level whirring noise – like a tiny fan – from the image stabiliser. We could do without that

Abstract: Read later Olympus OMD EM-5. 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 verticall...
A dust-and-weather-sealed design distinguishes the Olympus OM-D E-M5 from the rest of the interchangeable-lens crowd, and its class-leading performance doesn't hurt, either. Plus, it's got an interesting, relatively streamlined shooting design

Not much larger or heavier than an Olympus E-P3 camera with the optional electronic viewfinder installed, the E-M5 offers several benefits. Those include greater resolution, speed and versatility; as well as a splash-proof body, built-in EVF and OLED t...
Abstract: This is Olympus's latest mini-marvel, a miniature DSLR, in effect. Stylistically, it's pretty much a clone of the OM series that died out in 2003. Technically, the OM-D, as it's called, is not at all retro, but a near-professional, feature-laden, thorough...
Abstract: 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. On paper the OM-D makes for an exciting proposition, clai...
