User Experience

"Since you can change the lens, the possibilities are endless with the EM-5. Especially when paired with an exceptional lens like the Olympus 45mm or Panasonic 25mm, the Olympus can produce some breathtaking results. There are more controls and settings for movie recording. With lenses that feature MSC, zooming and focusing is absolutely silent. You can also add external mic input with an adapter and there are custom settings galore! It is more of an investment than the X100 with all the lenses but that depends on what you want out of it. IBIS let's me slow down the shutter speed to 1/20 of a second hand held so I don't have to stick to 1/60th and crank up the ISO."

"In brief: If you are considering switching to Micro Four thirds, this is a capable camera to make you park the full size DSLR in the closet and go out and shoot great images. If you have a micro four thirds body already, this is the best one available and depending on your style of shooting or needs will certain out perform them all for stills and shy of the GH2 with video hack, it will rival all of them for video capabilities especially with the IBIS on native lens. Battery life is less than I am accustomed to 350-400 images with very rare flash usage, but the new EVF and higher resolution OLED screen as well as the 5-axis IBIS are likely using up the battery at a higher rate than past bodies. When batteries become readily available it will not matter."
