The camera also makes a strange, audible fan-like noise whenever it’s on. It’s completely unrealistic to expect no noise whatsoever, but it felt like there was more noise than there should be. Low light images produce a fair bit of noise, too. The buttons are small and often recessed in such a way that if you have big fingers, you might find yourself mashing the thing. You could definitely pick yourself up something cheaper without losing out on a huge amount of functionality and it might scare off some beginners looking to upgrade.Īs far as the design is concerned, it’s great to look at, but a bit fiddly to use. At $1499, it’s certainly at the top end of the mirrorless micro four thirds market. Our long exposures of both a train whizzing by and the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge were captured sans-tripod which is awesome. Speaking of lighting, the five-axis image stabiliser on the OMD works wonders when you’re shooting in low light.

It’s a clever collared lens that lets you switch between manual zoom, electric zoom and macro modes with a little tug and because it’s splashproof, you can keep using it when the weather turns on you too.īootup time is lightning fast - we had our first image taken within two seconds in a lot of different light situations. We tested the $1499 weatherproof kit, which includes the body and the 12-50mm splash-resistant lens. It begs to be picked up and played with, and rewards you when you do with a reasonably light 373g body and a sexy alloy finish complete with rubber grips. The most striking part of the OMD is the design. They still have large sensors and interchangeable glass like DSLRs, but you’ll save yourself the backache, as you’ll be able to carry round a much smaller and lighter unit. For those playing the home game, a micro four thirds camera differs from a full-framed DSLR in that it doesn’t have the style of viewfinder or mirror system that you’d find in bigger, bulkier cameras.
