In February of this year, Olympus solemnly launched the new champion of the M4/3 system "Olympus OM-D E-M5". This model will compete with other brands in this emerging market. This model has the design of a retro camera, which is black and silver. Continuing the Pen series with retro elements in digital cameras, it attracted many people's attention from the beginning.
This new fighter inherits the era of the original Olympus OM series, but also has several characteristics of the Pen series models-lightweight, lightweight design, retro-looking design, simple and easy to operate, so the spindle design of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 The idea is that camera enthusiasts can make full use of and shoot outstanding works without worrying about weather and environmental factors. The magnesium alloy body brings a sturdy and reliable case to ensure the ultimate rigidity. Even the top of the camera is made of magnesium alloy. , And the bottom is made of aluminum material, which improves the texture and durability of the camera. For me who have been shooting travel themes for a long time, waterproof and dustproof is the most attractive reason.
