Old standard

The Olympus OM-D E-M5The vogue for retro-styled digital cameras shows no evidence of fading. This latest example, the Olympus OM-D E-M5, references the revered 35mm OM SLRs of the Seventies (O stands for Olympus, M for then chief designer, Yoshihisa Maitani). But the new model’s allure has as much to do with what’s inside: this 16MP Micro Four Thirds design has the fastest autofocus of any compact system camera, and comes with the world’s first 5-axis image stabilisation system and a 7.6cm tilting OLED touchscreen for tricky angles.
