Olympus OM-D E-M5 Digital Camera Review

Features

While many of the new compact system cameras are designed to appeal to current point and shoot users, there's a new class of cameras that are looking to appeal directly to old-school photography enthusiasts. The E-M5 certainly isn't shy about that fact, as it's the first camera to bring back Olympus' OM-series moniker with digital innards. That isn't to say the E-M5 runs like a retro camera, though, as it has all the conveniences that the best compact system cameras offer, including: electronic viewfinder, articulated OLED touchscreen, and dual control dials. With a very fast autofocus system and 8.5FPS shot-to-shot speed, we think the OM-D is more than just a nice design, but a capable camera that can keep up with the better cameras in this part of the market.
