Customer Review

I am a couple of years ago SLR (Canon) switched to Olympus system and am very satisfied.
One of the main reasons were much better (for me) JPG's that came directly from the camera. Long fumbling in Lightroom in Raw development was no longer necessary. And then constant front- and back focus problems that I had with Canon lenses (50 1.5, 50 1.4). Autofocus Olympus is faster and 100% fail. The dust removal is very efficient. The stabilization is very reliable. I like very flexible menu system of Olympus. The feel of the camera is very good. The screen is very nice with good resolution and rich colors. Internal flash creates 1 / 320s. Schutter Hock is no longer an issue since the last firmware update ("0sec Antichock" should be activated in the camera menu!).
If anyone wishes to develop Raw, should use free program of Olympus (Olympus Viewer 3). Lightroom is unfortunately for Olympus ORF's less suitable - poorer resolution, contrast and color (green salad instead of green, pale skin tones, etc).
Olympus lenses are just great. I own 25 1.8, 45 1.8 and 14-42 and 40-150. Panasonic 20 1.7 I had, but sold as is too optimized for contrast, had slower autofocus, had CA's, sharpness waste at the edge and the colors were not quite my taste. I still have a body (from the PL series) lenses to avoid having to repeatedly change.
"3 x atFoliX Olympus E-P5 screen protector - FX-Clear crystal clear" I can also recommend.
