The front grip can get a bit tricky
the image is not even usable at zoomed out settings
get noisy and there is heavy degradation of the image detail
There is no parallel to having the camera close to your face while composing your frames
Focus hunting at the telephoto end gets worse while shooting indoors
smart string lights
image noise is of course more evident
AF took about 1-2 seconds to fix focus
box
tucked away in the cupboard
unloved
unwanted and unused
Rechargeable lithium ion battery
DC input
G3 does not include an accessory port
endless mode is not supported
focus tended to wobble in and out constantly
not a camera for everyone
No in-camera chromatic aberration correction
focus must be locked from the first frame
the screen froze while trying to delete an image
it s bad it s just not quite as good
The camera starts to lose detail and saturation past ISO 6400
are becoming insanely popular and insanely expensive
photos were slightly prone to blur
Blurry images were hard to come by
The LCD swivels vertically but not horizontally
JPEG images straight from camera
no first-ranked zooms in the current Sony line up
a design conceit not a functional requirement
hard to type and hard to remember and difficult to say
ones nose is unnecessarily pressed against the rear LCD
feature is currently unavailable
The sound is only audible when the camera is close to ones face
noise became progressively more obvious
the kit lens is rather mediocre
Olympus feels a bit too bulky
autofocus erred on the wrong side
convoluted user interface
moving fast was often blurry and disappointing
it takes a while to memorize these custom settings
Auto white balance with fluorescent lighting
small-ish shutter release button
built-in flash
This camera is not merely a trip down memory lane
FourThirds system lacks a dedicated soft focus lens
The cable is a bit more than a metre long
Olympus looked backward for inspiration rather than forward
needs to be pried up with a fingernail
no flash in built into the camera
IQ on the monitors was not realistic
be able to use with this camera for processing Raw files is just a bit
this camera may look retro
as much of a fan of video mode
The buttons were a tad springy and wild
in non-linear editing programs and inferior image quality
spectacularly fast autofocus performance
The camera is not only faster with a 9fps burst rate
it would not be entirely fair to provide a detailed verdict on the camera
No way for Panasonic to lunch a new camera
Both video are very poor due to bad lighting
it lacks the built in flash
pictures of planes either static or landing
they are so small I find the controls fiddly to manipulate
it does not cost you a cent more
the E-M5 uses a Sony sensor
landscape shooting was inadvisable for this system
Canon has just tumbled and crashed into a cloud of dust and smashed shrapnel
touch sensitive screen or not
fuji x-e2 is lagging behind in the autofocus department
poor migrant class in China
no pop-up flash beneath
be missing great shots while fumbling through menus
five-axis mechanical image stabilization system
it didn t fare too poorly
the rolling shutter was prevalent in many shots
struggles to record the range of tonal information in a single frame
The camera struggled in extreme low light
Moire causes lines to blur together
The JPEG buffer is also quite large
the lens doesn't continually focus while zooming
lack of a haptic or audible response
the water pressure would render the touch screen useless
The camera does not have a microphone port or audio level control
the lens is a little bit to the left of the camera
quite a small niche market
having a compact body seems a little redundant
panasonic will not have such a capability
the camera struggled with white balance under mixed lighting
there is no auto iso available in manual mode
as the plastic tightens up on the camera
spooky Live Composite and Live Bulb modes
disappointed there is no auto iso available in manual mode
there s no optical pentaprism inside
Fuji is quite a bit more expensive
image quality is starting to get a bit ropey
Menu system can be daunting
Small buttons can be difficult for large fingers
the physical buttons are small and might be difficult for large fingers
aren't as many buttons as I might like
no more remote work
quite see in the dark
The buttons themselves are a little sticky and cheap-feeling
the camera back being given over to a screen
the backplate buttons a little too tiny for personal taste
Reaches shutter-speeds longer than 4 seconds
Shutter-Speed and EC dials
Allows external flash units to be attached
reviewDiscontinued: No longer produced by the manufacturer
nuances in highlights are hard to see
slightly pared down from its original design following an
Menu is not a problem with the Olympus cameras
small controls are sometimes awkward (especially with cold/gloved hands)
the manual could be on your computer at home
Contrast-detection AF systems will always be compromised in low-contrast light
camera starts to fail to reproduce the lines separately
Without the grip or battery pack
the battery pack is attached through the grip and does not slot directly onto the camera
doesn't have a built-in flash
Does the Olympus E-M5 have Weather Sealing
Olympus E-M5 have Image Stabilization
Olympus E-M5 have Touch Screen
doesn't have any connections for external microphones and headphones
the picture turning out blurry
the switch is slightly delayed
that from now on I will be leaving my tripod at home
EVF colors by default tend to have a little bit of a green tint
camera doesn't have a built-in-flash
sensor size is not always the most important factor in a camera
Sony makes sensors not only for its own branded cameras
the lenses were just too big and bulky for my taste
Diffraction is not a big deal either
constant quiet whirring of the image stabilizer
Chromatic aberrations are particularly pronounced in wide angle
one looks in vain for a power supply connection
optical image stabilizers are powerless in the fifth axis
The play button is hard to reach
this camera has no front- or back focus
overexposed highlights flicker on the LCD screen
They are very difficult to operate
visible light-orange hue is visible in the images
the aperture and shutter speed dials are not easily reached
Image Stabilization test video This browser does not support the iframe element
Olympus did not include a pop-up flash
Sony RX100 Color Filters
smaller buttons and shallower grips may be welcome
the controls are somewhat small
heavier
bulkier system
by the clouds rolling through the scene
Olympus has rather neglected its mid-range model
ageing 16MP sensor held it back
The Pro Capture mode does not offer continuous AF at 30fps
sadly no headphone socket for monitoring audio
slight tendency for the automatic white balance to produce yellowish images
going to have a pretty shaky image
it s not an entirely fair comparison
considerably thicker and denser in the hand
shooting with a live view very often
it s not perfect
the dials can turn too easily
Autofocus is a weakness
The small camera was no replacement for the DSLR
s still space in the market for multiple sensor formats
huge
heavy and has no touch screen
seem to present itself for direct flash as much
The buttons are a bit squishy and soft
Sometimes cameras live up to the hype
Panasonic G3
Wide aperture lenses are bulky and expensive
the camera recovered with the next in the sequence
kills in-camera noise reduction
Detail suffers when you push to ISO 12800 and 25600
the buttons are either too small
its battery life is mediocre
Frame rates are somewhat limited for action video
Not designed for helmet rigs and action cam mounts
it can only playback this footage in slow motion
the camera struggled to keep up with the action when shooting sports
overly complex user interface
just started failing to turn on with no sign
unique locations can mean braving harsh
unpredictable weather and inhospitable terrain
none of these systems is inherently original
the quality is not expected to stack up to the competition
lacking in-body image stabilization
310 is not great
flash will not be able to recycle fast enough to keep your strobes firing
not stuck using non-native lenses with adapters
Fumble around with velcro and clips and the moment's gone
the auto focus on the Fuji is still a little lacking
rain meant the queue was only 1/2 hour rather
no way to set this minimum shutter speed
a bulky camera will never leave your camera bag
High Res Shot only works for static subjects
those lines have been blurred in this category
camera itself didn t have focus peaking built into it
a little slow to react
no built-in flash
The electronic viewfinder is a bit of a mixed bag
Noise is traditionally where MFT suffers compared to bigger sensors
not able to show or modify cookies from other domains
losing shadows or blowing out highlights before you take the photo
little plastic to get scratched or damaged

Olympus OM-D EM-5 review: I'm Down With OM-D

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 like the revival of the PEN family in 2009, Olympus plans on continuing the OM tradition with the OM-D EM-5 serving as the first...

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Review

4.0

With the launch of the E-M5, Olympus harks back to one of its most fondly-remembered camera systems - the Olympus OM range of 35mm SLRs. The E-M5 is the first camera in an OM-Digital lineup that will run alongside the PEN series and, according to the company, its Four Thirds models. For reasons of clarity, it should be stated that this isn't a continuation of the old OM line - the OM-D models won't be SLRs and are based around Micro Four Thirds, not OM lens mounts. However, they do embody the spirit of the much-loved camera line - a small, well-built camera designed for enthusiasts. And, particularly in silver and black form, the E-M5 is one of best looking cameras we've encountered in some time.
