Olympus OM-D E-M5 Review

It doesn't take a genius to figure out which are the hot cameras at any one time. Last year it was theFuji X100andSony NEX-7. So far this year been it's theNikon D800/e, theFuji X-Pro 1, and the subject of this review, theOlympus OM-D E-M5. How to know if a camera is hot? Just try and buy one during the first six months or so. 
Knowledgeable camera users have a 'sense' for what's going to be an appealing, even anexcitingnew product, before the first reviews come out. Some cameras may be very competent, even excellent at what they do, but for a variety of reasons don't capture photographer's imaginations and therefore can be more easily found on dealer's shelves than on wait-lists.
The new Olympus OM-D E-M5is not one of these. Rather, it has quickly found itself in theuber-desirablecategory, and so it was late May before I was able to get my hands on one for review. But now, thanks toHenry's of Canada, I have been able to purchase an E-M5 for long term testing.
