Olympus OM-D E-M5

Here are several sample photos from a pre-production version of the new Olympus OM-D E-M5, it is running a firmware that is not yet finalised so we have been asked to resize the images to 1600pixels wide. The camera was tested with the 12-50mm lens as shown above, as well as a few other lenses. We will post additional sample photos shortly. In the meantime, if you have any questions or to discuss, please post in the forum.
