Image stabilisation is second to none

One of the most underrated things about the E-M5 is the bundled flash. It's the first I've seen that tilts and rotates just like a large speedlight flash. Tha

Abstract: All images: Alex Cranz/Gizmodo In late August I spent to weeks traipsing through Europe—on very important work assignments in London, and taking in the local culture of Amsterdam. Being a gadget blogger, I couldn't pass up the opportu...
Abstract: These days, many (if not most) consumers are likely to shop based on price and capability, rather than according to whether a certain model contains a mirror, or not. We think this is a good thing; with all the increased competition, cameras are improving...
Abstract: After 10 years of carrying heavy DSLR gear around (or in more recent months, NOT carrying DSLR gear around due to the bulk and inconvenience), I started considering reducing the size of my kit. I'd been hearing a lot of good coming out of the mirrorless c...

The E-M5 Mark II is another evolutionary improvement in Olympus' OM-D line of mirrorless, compact system cameras. While this attractive, retro-style shooter (which looks like a cross between a miniature SLR and a rangefinder) doesn't break much new ground...
Excellent handling in a compact, weather-sealed body; Crisp, roomy electronic viewfinder; Image quality that can take the fight to APS-C DSLRs; Unique high-res mode lets it bat far above its weight for static scenes; Extremely fast 10 fps burst shooting,
Control dials are easily bumped; Below-average battery life at default settings; Buffer depths for raw shooters are a bit limited; 16-megapixel sensor resolution feels dated; Weak bundled flash strobe
Abstract: In our latest digital camera comparison, we put high-resolution Micro Four Thirds CSC, a high-res full-frame DSLR and a digital medium format camera head to head.An unfair comparison? Maybe. But all three cameras can record photos bigger than 50 megapixel...
