The OM-D E-M5 is the first mirrorless CSC from Olympus with a built-in EVF and weatherproof construction. It's styled like the hugely popular OM series of 35mm SLRs in the Seventies, but inside is a thoroughly modern camera based on the Micro Four Thirds standard. It features 16 Mpixels, 9fps shooting, 1080i video, a tilting 3in OLED touch-screen, built-in stabilisation which works with any lens and what Olympus claims to be the World's fastest AF (again). But the big question is how the image quality measures-up, especially compared to its Micro Four Thirds rival, the Panasonic GX1. Ahead of my full review I compared their noise levels in RAW without any noise reduction to reveal their performance, warts and all!
