Journalists cut in line, because there is a hot chick to take photos of
Look at the camera, give it a cute smile... We go ahead and talk about the camera you have in your hands
It's the Olympus OM-D E-M5 system camera
We got to test it in the city of Amsterdam in which we were transported by...rikshaw
The Olympus OM-D is a very advanced camera with a nostalgic look and feel
The stylish design of the analog OM-D camera from back in the days, comes back in this modern device
complete with modern specifications
Olympus targets the professional photographer or at least the serious hobbyist
The camera is positioned above the famous PEN-series
[Taking great pictures has never been easier]
It has a new 16MP sensor, the ISO sensitivity stands out
This can be set as high as 25.600
This means you can take pictures in the evening of a blazing fire for instance
The screen on the backside is adjustable and the OM-D has an electronic viewfinder which shows all the settings
It's a camera for serious hobbyists, for whom there are several special creative filters built in
For instance: pop-art, pinhole or 'dramatic atmosphere'
But without the filters it is also a pleasure to take photos with the OM-D
Due to a wide variety of lenses the camera is very versatile
Because of the large ammount of buttons it does take a little getting used to
And something else, the OM-D will cost about 1300 euro including the lens
It'll be available in april of this year
