E-3 owners and Olympus fans will be glad to know that the E-5 is a highly capable and rugged imaging tool. Others may be put off by some of the limits of the comparitively smaller and lower-resolution sensor.
There aren’t many cameras that you feel you could use to stop a charging Rhino, but the E-5 is one of them. This camera feels very well constructed, with a solid body and very tight seals around the ports and sockets. It is a little heavy, though, and...

Judged purely on its own merits the E-5 is a good and capable camera in most situations. But is it good enough to warrant swapping systems from Canon, Nikon, Pentax or Sony to Olympus? Or good enough that an uncommitted photographer wanting to get int...

Like: Images shot at up to ISO800 are outstanding. We like the Olympus jpeg style, but if that doesn't appeal there is always RAW. The camera is very responsive and fast to focus and fire. There could be something in the claim to be the fastest autofocus
Dislike: The video function is poor. 720p doesn't cut it in this day and age when even compact cameras make a decent job of 1080i. But it is the incredibly slow, noisy and inaccurate autofocus in live view that kills enthusiasm for video
Fast burst mode, fast focusing, useful Live View mode and articulating screen
Noisy images, poor high ISO performance, hard to use
