The OM-D series is the new addition to the Olympus digital family, it marks a new stage in in the brand’s well documented success with Micro Four Third products. The E-M5 packs in unprecedented number of features made for photographers who demand higher performance and image quality. It blends cutting edge technology into a classic form factor that delivers excellent results. The built-in eye sensor lets you simply hold the camera up to your face, and the HD viewfinder is automatically activated to offer a stunning preview of your subject. The 120-fps refresh rate keeps the EVF operating in real time while offering a heads-up display of all the active settings and information. A crisp three-inch OLED touch screen fills the back of the camera. As in previous models, it offers the same functionality for focal point selection, image browsing and touching to activate the shutter, but on the E-M5 the screen pivots and swivels, offering an excellent variety of positions to help keep the display central no matter the angle. The camera is lightweight but very solid in the hand, and the thumb grip and textured surface offer a great feel. The E-M5 is compatible with all of Olympus’ micro four thirds lenses and offers full manual functionality, truly offering the photographer endless possibilities.
