Third part of Robin Wong’s Olympus E-M5 review

Robin Wong (Click here) just published the third part of his Olympus E-M5 review. Part one can be found here and part two here. In this third part he tested the Macro Photography, the 5 axis stabilization, manual focusing with the electronic viewfinder and the handling of the camera.

I have to say that there is one point were I don’t agree with him. When he says that focus peaking from the NEX isn’t that impressing as many do say. I have to disagree. I extensively used the [shoplink 26379]NEX-5n[/shoplink] with the [shoplink 29666 ebay]Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4[/shoplink] manual focus lens and focus peaking is damn useful! I wish Olympus and Panasonic could add that feature via firmware upgrade soon.
