Benefits
Small size, light weight, but superb quality of construction, finally a metal case, beautiful and elegant!
Outstanding image quality even at high ISO.
Waterproof, weatherproof and splash.
Good AR swivel screen and tactile.
Focus super fast AF.
Stabilization bewildering sensor, I took sharp pictures at 1/4 second!
HD video quality.
Getting great hand with the grip.
Case configurable to his hand.
Great choice of optical quality of the system M 4/3.
Macro Mode 12/50 kit.
Access to thousands of old optical rings with adaptable.
Less
No built-in flash. (But comes with 12 flash NG)
Small for large hands. Some buttons are in the wrong place.
More expensive than APS SLR C. (but the price difference is justified)
Grip MANDATORY, 300 more ...
Menus too complex or clutter, it is far from the convenience of Canon tabs ... Not for a novice then.
Never have the bokeh full format with smaller sensor.
In conclusion the Olympus E-M5 deserves 5 stars. It will not replace a D3S or any box pro but instead it has the advantage of not dismantling the ride vertebrae. Its AF is ultra fast, amazing stabilization, it is stunning in high ISO plus it is a beautiful object that reminds me of my OM2. THEN OLYMPUS BRAVO!
