Very good camera, but some useful simple software features missing for that price like panorama mode, hdr mode.. The lens not bright enough at 50mm (f6.3)
Excellent build quality and good to handle for such a small camera. Very good image quality. I would have given 5 stars, but overall, I prefer the E-M5 Mk1

I bought the OMD E-M5 as I needed a smaller camera due to my arthritis on bad days. It is generally an excellent camera, solidly built and weather sealed. i-auto is a great choice for jpegs whilst first getting used to the camera, although I now only shoot RAW, which is great when processed in Lightroom 5. The M5 does however, lack some intuitive menus, therefore, You Tube videos on getting the ideal setup are very useful indeed. I also recommend you buy the HL-6 battery grip ( i got mine s/h less that half price on e-bay) as it makes the camera far easier to hold and use. I have been using it for about about a month now with M.Zuiko 12-50mm and 40-150mm lenses. Both lenses produce good results for the standard range of lens, although they require some post processing sharpening at the end of the telephoto range. The 40-150mm lens is good optically, although a the AF hunts too much at the far end of the telephoto range to make it an effective 'Action' lens. N.B. A tip here to get the best out of the 40-150mm lens for 'action shots' is to set AF to C-AF [not tracking) and the Picture Mode to 'Vivid', as the increased contrast delivered to the sensor seems to get the best speed out of the auto focus for those tricky action shots. Although my 'hit rate'was only about 1 in 4, I have since found out this may be because the M5's IS does not work on the at 9fp; it seems IS only works up to 4fps, which is worth a try.Read full review
