Abstract: Olympus is known to stay true to its heritage, and the new OM-D EM-5 is a sparkling example. The company debuted its first film OM model 40 years ago in 1972, and I actually shot with an Olympus OM-1N a decade ago in my high school photography class. Much...
Appealing body design, Smaller camera is easy to hold and quite small, Battery grip makes the E-M5 feel like a tiny professional camera, EVF works well, Tilting OLED touchpanel display, Water resistant body, Advanced in-body image stabilization, Excell...
Odd power switch location, Exposure compensation dial changes easily, can't be turned off, Small buttons, EVF proximity sensor sometimes activates unexpectedly, Moderately high chromatic aberration from 12-50mm kit lens, No in-camera chromatic aberrati...
Olympus' new Micro Four Thirds flagship has made quite an impression. Not just enthusiasts, but pro photographers are taking the OM-D E-M5 and the platform's latest optics quite a bit more seriously. Our time with the OM-D E-M5 was pure fun. There was ...

De E-M5 is zonder discussie de beste systeemcamera die Olympus gemaakt heeft. Hij produceert scherpe beelden recht uit de camera, met levensechte kleuren. Bij hogere gevoeligheden doet hij het minder goed, en ook het dynamisch bereik is beperkter dan bijv...
Outstanding image quality; highly customisable feature set; compact design; wide seleciton of accessories and lenses; weather resistant body; art filters add fun factor; good macro mode on 12-50mm zoon; fast autofocus and burst mode
Menu system can be daunting; no built-in mic adapter; small buttons can be difficult for large fingers; soft humming when powered up
Olympus has been a leader in the Compact System Camera revolution, and the OM-D E-M5 will solidify that position. It is a good-looking, well-designed, highly capable camera. I recommend the 12-50 mm zoom lens with the body, which currently lists for £1,14...

świetny design, nawiązujący do analogowej serii OM, szczegółowość obrazu, nienaganna jakość wykonania i ergonomia, uszczelniana obudowa, pokrętła trybów, programowalne przyciski, możliwość dostosowania sprzętu do własnych potrzeb, opcjonalny uchwyt pionow
nienajlepsze menu, śledzenie AF przy niedostatecznym oświetleniu, Aparat do testu udostępniła firma Olympus Polska. Dziękujemy.
By uniknąć powielania trzech identycznych przymiotników w jednym akapicie: E-M5 to kapitalna ergonomia, design i jakość obrazu. Nowy Olympus OM-D dysponuje cechami, których u konkurencji nie znajdziemy tak łatwo. Jedynym realnym przeciwnikiem dla...
Outstanding image quality. Highly customizable feature set. Compact design. Wide selection of accessories and lenses. Weather resistant body. Art Filters add fun factor. Good macro mode on 1250mm zoom. Fast autofocus and burst mode
Menu system can be daunting. No builtin mic adapter. Small buttons can be difficult for large fingers. Soft humming noise when powered up
Natuurlijke kleurweergave bij daglicht, Hoge resolutie, Dynamisch bereik gelijkwaardig aan camera's met een APSC sensor, Zeer effectieve ingebouwde beeldstabilisatie, Snelle AF, heldere zoeker en een stille sluiter, Meer een fotocamera dan een videocamera
Minder videocamera dan fotocamera, Afspeel knopje moeilijk te bedienen, Constante ruis, zelfs als de IS uit staat, Relatief hoge prij
De Olympus OMD EM5 is een heel fijne camera om mee te werken. Aan alles kan je merken dat Olympus heeft meegedacht met de fotograaf. Knoppen zijn in het algemeen goed geplaatst, prettig te bedienen en via het menu te configureren naar je eigen voorkeur. H...
Quality: very satisfying colour rendition; pin sharp!Why you'd buy the OM-D EM-5: you long for the old days! You want to shoot RAW.Why you wouldn't: you may hanker for a full frame DSLR!Overall, I found the camera to be very simple to use with very few co...
Great battery life, Superior image quality, even in low light, You can really push ISO without sacrificing resolution, Durability, Very powerful auto-focus and image stabilization technology
Button design, No pop-up flash – accessory only, There can be some in-camera digging before you get your customized settings up and running
Should you buy it? If you can afford the EM-5 and you're in the market for a MFT, yes, you should buy it. That might sound a little niche, but MFT cameras are becoming insanely popular and insanely expensive, so there's real demand for what Olympus is ...
