Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Black Olympus E-P5 16.1MP Mirrorless Digital Camera with 3-Inch LCD - Body Only by Mark Meyer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buy it! You can snag the EP5, 17mm 1.8 lens and EVF at Oly for $1150. Or buy a new built-in EVF, waterproof

This camera has it all; crisp photos, instant autofocus, dreamy electronic viewfinder, 2x2 wheels offer full instant control, simple intuitive menu. And lots of accessories at great prices; recently added a 70/150 telephoto lens (used in excellent condition) for $60. The flash can be disabled from the camera by the camera flash. Small compared to a DSLR and does everything it can. In a DP article, the critics emphasized the "shutter shock". Speeds from 1/50 to 1/200 can produce soft focus shots. I spoke to the Oly people, their reps couldn't reproduce it, and neither could I. There may be a "broken camera" or some kind of software bug in the DP reviews, but my camera has no "shutter shock" and works great. The camera comes with a one-year warranty; You can purchase an additional two-year contract for $80. Most credit cards extend the original guarantee for an additional year free of charge. I was so pleased with the build, the quality of the camera, the design and the placement of the camera controls. And the sheer number of lenses available makes this camera perfect. I received an exceptional offer through Revain. I couldn't be happier.
