Olympus OM-D E-M5

 

Built-in EVF – The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Compact System Camera is the first Micro Four Thirds camera equipped with an electronic viewfinder (EVF). With other Olympus PEN cameras, you would need to buy the EVF as a separate accessory and mount it via the accessory shoe. This is not the ideal solution for enthusiast photographers who don’t even intend to use the LCD for image composition. In fact, for many of them, the lack of internal EVF was a deal breaker. Some preferred to purchase a Panasonic Micro 4/3 camera, others just bought a DSLR.

This is a 1,440K-dots high-resolution electronic viewfinder that gives you 100% field-of-view and Max. 1.15x magnification. One of the advantages of an EVF over OVF (optical viewfinder) is the amount of information and the type of information that can be viewed through it.  Because its a small LCD display, not a glass, you can view information like: shutter speed, auto bracket, IS activating mode, Metering mode, White balance, battery check, etc. You can view the image as it will be taken after you press the shutter release button, including how white balance and exposure affects the final image.

Durable & Weather sealed body – The Olympus OM-D E-M5 doesn’t disappoint. It’s body construction is among the best you’ll found in any Micro Four Thirds camera. It’s a weather-sealed body, which is dust and splash proof. The body itself is built with magnesium-alloy chassis, which adds extra durability to the camera.  We also need to mention Olympus Supersonic Wave Filter, a dust prevention self-cleaning mechanism.

Of course a weather-sealed body alone is not enough. For that Olympus has also recently released the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 13-50mm EZ weather-sealed lens and the HLD-6 weather-sealed vertical battery grip for the E-M5.  We can just assume that more weather-sealed lenses and accessories will be released in 2012. The OM-D EM-5 is also equipped the E-M5 with a durable 100,000 cycles shutter.
No doubt that the E-M5 certainly tops any other Mirrorless camera in terms of its durability and weather-sealing capabilities, especially important for outdoor photography, or for anyone who need to shoot in tough weather conditions.
