Olympus E-M5 review from a video point of view (EosHD). And 2500 Euro for a E-M5 grip.

Journey (Olympus OM-D E-M5) from Andrew Reid on Vimeo.

Before to start. Be aware of mistakes on eBay. A reader pounted me out that “someone” is selling the E-M5 battery grip for 2.500 Euro ([shoplink 32323 ebay]Click here to see the auction[/shoplink]). I see those kind of “mistakes” all the time :(

UPDATE: Body only in Stock at Amazon (Click here).

Our friend Andrew from EosHD (Click here) posted an E-m5 review focusing more on the video aspects of the camera: “There are some things the OM-D E-M5 does better even in video mode than the competition including even the GH2. Unfortunately the image quality in video mode is not an all-out winner like the stills mode.”

Steve Huff tested the 12-50mm kit lens: “It’s a good lens though not a GREAT “wow” lens.”
