"In the film days, Olympus' OM line was one of the majors in the SLR (single-lens reflex) world--indeed, I learned photography with my first camera, an OM-10 I used for many years. With the digital-SLR revolution, Olympus started over with a new brand, the E series line, that came
with the Four Thirds sensor and corresponding lenses. That sensor is significantly smaller than a frame of 35mm film and also than competing SLRs from the likes of Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Pentax.
Dials! Dials everywhere, OM-D=Oh My Dials? Olympus really means business with this one. No fancy designer needed here, just the best example of retrography this editor has ever seen, and yes, i include all the recent Fujifilms, and the Panasonic GX1.
No longer the stuff of rumors, here's the E-M5 straight from the horse's mouth:
Thank you for the heads-up 43rumors, and Focus Numerique for the plenty raw files. And, Olympus for the actual camera :) After a quick review of the raw files in question i came up with an alternative title for this post: Olympus moves into aps-c sized territory. If this camera is half as good as the hype has it, Oly will not be able to meet demand for a long time.
P.S Lightroom won't open these raw files, use Raw Therapee, Olympus viewer (try with noise filter off for more crucial pixel peeping), Raw Photo Processor etc.
