Tech Radar EM5 Review

The buttons are that way for a reason: weather-sealing.

I look forward to the trickle down effect to other cameras, with that sensor.

when it happens, ill buy the epl5!
so long as the screen is still flippy AND touchy
i could do without the built in vf on the em5. i like using accessory ovf theyre gonna look so whackadoodle on my em5!

I am perplexed and confused by the Signal-Noise Ration graphs. The TIFF files of the EM5 are superior to the XPro1, but the JPG's of the XPro1 are better than the EM5. So is the XPro1's JPG engine really awesome, or does the EM5's JPG engine totally suck?

Oly has always had a great JPG engine. But at ISO200, the EM5 TIFF file's SNR is at about 40, while the JPG file's SNR is also 40?

At ISO800, the EM5's JPG's SNR is about 36. But the TIFF is 38!

One would think that with noise reduction applied by the JPG engine, the SNR would improve when looking at JPG's. For all the other cameras, the JPG's showed an improved SNR vs. TIFF at the same ISO.

Confused ...
