The latest camera model from Olympus has
turned a few heads on its arrival. The new E-M5 from Olympus boasts an
impressive 16 million megapixel Live MOS sensor and integrated 1.44 million dot
high-definition electronic viewfinder.
One of the key selling features to jump out
is its advanced five-axis image stabilisation (IS) system, which helps reduce
blur in both stills and movies. Other impressive specs include the large ISO
range that extends from 200 to 25600, and a tilt LCD three-inch swivel-type
OLED monitor.
The new E-M5 is available from April 2012,
and with the kit M.Zuiko 50mm lens, is priced at $1,725. Addition accessories
can be purchased, including the HDL-6 power holder grip and FL-600R electronic
flash. There will also be a MMF-3 four-thirds mount adapter, designed for
mounting a four-thirds lens on a micro four thirds body.
