The screen is fantastic and it's one of the most usable cameras at this level of sophistication. Pictures look great and there's plenty of fast AF and quick shooting under the hood.
Eye-catching design
Good level of image quality
Impressive handling
Quick auto-focus
The editors didn't like
Image stabilisation system emits a hum

Pricey

Wi-Fi QR code app flawed
2x2 dial not customisable
Focus peaking ought to offer more colours

More advanced albeit older OM-D E-M5 from Olympus now offers better value
Way too expensive
Blown highlights in strong sun
Touchscreen doesn't have multipoint support
WiFi functions are quite limited
No mic/headphones ports
No manual settings in video mode
No built-in viewfinder
