Abstract: The Olympus OM-D E-M5 brings back the hallowed OM line of compact SLRs from Olympus, with a design that calls directly on the spirit of the original OM-1, released in 1972. The E-M5 is a Micro Four Thirds camera, however, sporting a new Live MOS image sen...
The E-M5 is an excellent camera with eye-catching retro flair, and it accomplishes most of what it sets out to do.It hasn't taken Olympus long to work their way into our hearts with their retro-inspired compact system lineup. The PEN series was well-recei...
Abstract: With an old-school appearance and a few new creative functions, is this the classic camera with digital punch Olympus users have been waiting for? We test the pre-production Olympus OM-D on a trip to Amsterdam....
Weatherproof finish (and weatherproof 1250 mm lens), Great retro design, Picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Two settings dials, Effective stabilisation system, Sharp, smooth EVF, Tilt LCD touchscreen, Quiet shutter release

Super-fast AF and excellent image quality, Lots of features and user customisation, Easy to use and solid build quality, Good quality EVF and tiltable screen
Neck strap can get in the way, Plastic buttons feel a bit cheap
Olympus has long championed the cause of small, portable DSLR-like cameras (think back to the E-420, which at the time of its launch was the smallest DSLR on the market) and the E-M5 is very much an extension of that philosophy. Overall build quality is v...
Abstract: Sometimes you come across a camera that makes photography simple. Olympus’ OM-D E-M5 is one such beast. Granted, its battery life is not that great, and yes, its buttons are so small you would think it was designed for five year olds, but once set up, ...
