Olympus 14 Megapixel Digital Camera

Even tho I was a little disappointed I did pre-order the E-5. I was thinking Oly would come out with an 18-24 megapixel, 10 fps shutter speed camera. I realized I am using the 10mp E-3 and printing 17 by XXXX photographs that were superior to my friends higher mp better selling brand cameras. I received the E-5 in October 2010. Having used this for a little better than 3 months I have put it to the test, in as far as how I will be using the camera. I must admit, I would have liked 8/10 fps but 5 was good for me in the past so it'll have to do. One thing I haven't touched yet is the movie mode. I was going to put this down as a con (for me) but who knows, I might wake up tomorrow and try it and like it. What I look for in a camera is 1. RELIABILITY my Oly OM1, bought in Feb. 1973 after being discharged from military madness, 38 year old camera is in excellent working condition. I have not had a problem with any of my Olympus cameras. Unless you want to count the time my E-510 crashed to the concrete from 6 stories. I have had a couple Cannons and Nikons along the way which no longer work. 2 COLOR RESULTS which Oly's are true to life. I shoot 90% RAW, JPEG when the situation arises. I was very impressed with the JPEGS right from the camera. Oly's JPEG's were always the best - these really did impress me. 3. EASE of USE. Going from E-1, E-510, E-3 to E-5 it is part of me, or maybe I'm part of it. 4. CAMERA/LENS combination. In my view Olympus/Zuiko is tops. I seldom go over 800 iso so I'll leave this alone. I must admit I came close to falling for the megapixel myth. Olympus made changes where they would truly make a difference. One last thing. The mirrorless systems have caught my eye. I will be watching. As always, B&H your the best.

I like the camera, large megapixel

Well made and designed to fit the olympus 7 to 14.

Attached to my Olympus Stylus TOUGH TG-4 Digital Camera for use on the beach...

This is my second of these small Domke camera bags. I use mine to carry an Olympus PEN-F with a 14-150 zoom and a 25mm prime lens as a walking around kit. I bought the second bag because my wife wanted it to use as a handbag. It is the perfect size for her wallet, cell phone, keys, etc. It's weather resistant, and comfortable to carry with its wide shoulder strap.

I purchased this lens to use with my Olympus OMD10. When I bought the camera for travel photography, it came with the 14-42 kit lens and I also got the 40-150mm. I added the 25mm to have the capability of shooting in lower light while having a focal length that works quite well for street shots. The quality of the lens (has a hood too!) is well beyond the other lenses which have plastic mounts and I've found the images sharp. A nice Bokeh is easily achieved.

I like this camera because it is small enough to fit in my pocket especially when fitted with olympus' M.Zuiko ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ lens and the Olympus LC-37C Auto Open Lens cap. The Auto Open lens cap protects the lens in my pocket but opens up the instant I take the camera out of my pocket and turn it on to make an image. The camera is highly customizable. I like this because I can adapt the camera to my shooting style. However I think this would be a good camera for beginners because you can set the camera to auto to set exposure for you or use the scene mode to tailor setting automatically according to the subject you are shooting. The camera is light, fits well to my hand, especially fitted with the Olympus ECG-5 external grip that I also got. The image quality is fantastic. Also there is a huge selection of lenses that one can choose from to tailor to one's own personal shooting style. The EZ lens has a focal range of 14 to 42 mm which is the full frame (35mm) equivalent of 28 to 84 mm, which I find perfect for landscape as well as portrait image making.

I use this bag with my Olympus E-P2 camera, 14-42, 17 pancake and 9-18 lenses, and FL-14 flash, extra camera battery, extra flash batteries, lens brush, extra camera strap and the Oly electronic viewfinder. All fits well and the camera can easily and quickly be put into the bag with the 9-18 and flash or viewfinder attached. This is the perfect bag for Oly M4/3 cameras in many ways. When strapped over sholder and head with the strap going across the chest, it really doesn't look like a camera bag. The velcro flap is even roomy enough to fold over a gorillapod and keep it secure. The strap has plenty lenght to allow enough adjustment to make it comfortable to pack for an all day excursion.

Replacement cap for my Zuiko 14-42mm olympus ep-1 camera lens. I lost my other one, thank goodness they're so affordable at B&H.

Purchased for my Olympus 14-54mm lens for every day lens protection.
