  • "Best general purpose camera!"
    4.5 stars
    on by amangup

    Pros: -size
    -image quality
    -speed of AF and operations in general
    -fantastic build quality, splash and dust proof
    -The operation with two dials is intuitive.
    -Good value

    Cons: - The menu system is not very intuitive. I've owned the Olympus E-PL1 also and Olympus hasn't really put much effort into this.

    Summary: There is a reason this camera is such a big hit - it is a fantastic camera.

    Pros in more detail:
    -size: much smaller than even the smallest canon/nikon DSLRs. Don't underestimate the importance of smaller size; I carry the camera more often and take more photos simply because its smaller.
    -image quality: as good as Nikon D7000, which is the standard for APS size sensors. I think the CNET review has it wrong when it comes to JPEG image quality as olympus JPEG conversion is among the best. Sometimes I've taken a picture as RAW + JPEG, and have had a hard time to process the RAW to look better than the JPEG.
    -speed of AF and operations in general. Click on touch screen to click is fun, especially because it is almost instantaneous.
    -fantastic build quality, splash and dust proof. It makes you worry a lot less and keep on taking photos. (take care that the lens needs to be weather sealed as well - the system is not splash proof with every lens)
    - The operation with two dials is intuitive.
    - Very good value, when you compare with Nikon D7000 which is $1200 body only. Unless you really need the optical viewfinder, olympus E-M5 is overall a better camera.

    Thanks for a good objective review.I have used your method of shooting JPEG+RAW and suffered the same fate.I spend 20 minutes editing in Elements and after comparing the JPEG to the Raw result I feel I have just wasted the 20 minutes+.I'm new to photoshop so perhaps my batting average will improve.Get an occasional stunning photo using ART filter 10
