Re: My take on the Olympus E-P5

I'm a DSLR shooter, but +1 on your comments on the EP5. Video isn't bad if you follow just few things: no motion (pan or fast subject) for HD fine, HD regular (keep your pans slow), MJPEG video killer for post work. The IBIS is a killer using it and the 720P for run and gun.

Also, I think this is the best looking MFT on the market (Of course I would, I upgraded from the EPL1 to the EP5). Don't know why this camera doesn't get more love, I too have not had shutter stock. I also shoot with an EVF and perhaps that is the difference, I finding shooting with the camera extend not as comfortable (probably from shooting DSLR for 40 years).
