The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Digital Camera Review. Micro 4/3 finally matures…for real. By Steve Huff | STEVE HUFF PHOTOS

That man salutes everything.

Praised E-P1 when it was released, then praised E-P2, then E-P3, now E-M5. It's like he's on a payroll or something, always writing how amazing these cameras are and how good a deal they are compared to Leica so everyone should grab one through his referral links below the review asap... all that those people do are selling the stuff, they never really critique anything, good things are over-hyped and bad things are only mentioned as small, not important blemishes or simply ignored.

Not saying the review is useless of course, just that I'd take with a (huge) grain of salt.

Can't agree here, his images are quite good and he definitely knows how to get everything out of expensive gear, it's just that he's using them to make his slanted reviews look better so more people would buy gear through his referral links.

Only those that have already bought the reviewed product might get mad. Why would they read the review though since they've already made their choice?

I have not had this much FUN shooting and reviewing a camera since the E-P3

No doubt the next camera in 4-8 months will be the most fun camera to date.

Very positive review, almost too positive, although I'd find it hard to disagree with any of it. While the words were doing their best to sell the camera the same feeling wasn't really coming through to me in the accompanying images. Maybe they just weren't quite my cup of tea. Anyhow, it's nice to see a Micro 4/3 camera getting some good press.

ditto.

but who in the world would buy (and review) a fairly expensive camera and displays art filtered images? (apparently, he is) He's got noktons for Christ's sake... take it for a better spin around!

Steve Huff is certainly a fan of m43. He has at various times "never had so much fun" with the G2, E-P2, E-P3 and now the OMD. Clearly he is a guy that just has a LOT OF FUN with his cameras. Can't fault the guy for being enthusiastic. I find his "reviews" amusing but he does tend to go a bit over the top sometimes. That said, if I am looking for a substantive review I tend to go elsewhere.
