The video shows the [shoplink 16254]GH2[/shoplink] / 1:1 Crop Mode (from Jean-Baptiste Lefournier)
The Polish site optize.pl tested the [shoplink 17163]Olympus E-5[/shoplink] camera with good results. The final score is 62.82/100. For comparison, the Canon 60D got 59.56 and the Sony A55 got 48.88. We’ll have to wait for the D7000 and K-5 for more direct comparison.

Admin, reread the last sentence of your article. You mixed up everything while copy-pasting and it doesn’t make senses anymore 😉
Check out Jean-Baptiste’s ISO test between GH13 and GH2, very interesting – the GH1 was much more sensitive.
optyczne.pl ;D
14 mm lenstest: The 14-42 kit lens seems to be as good as the 14/2.5, but the 14-140 does not.
There seem to be many reviews and new products for u4/3. Not so much for 4/3, except the E-5. I am not wedded to a mirror, but I prefer the ergonomics of a full size camera for the types of photography that I do.
I stll don’t see the E-5 as a significant upgrade to my E-30, except for weather-sealing and a weak video offering.
I am still waiting for a regular DSLR-size camera with DSLR speed processing, a built-in EVF that rivals an OVF, weather-sealing, and a high-quality video offering. If such a camera has a u4/3 mount, then great. Right now the GH2 comes the closest, and all the Pens have a flat form factor that is not ergonomic for large zoom lenses.
Although, the E-30 takes good photos, the numerous comparison tests clearly show that the E-5 has significantly better IQ than the E-30, plus the E-5 has these other features that you failed to mention:
a bigger screen
a far better screen resolution 920k vs. 230k
faster operating speed
faster auto focus
HD video
sd card slot
stronger body (magnesium alloy)
longer shutter lige (150,000 vs. 100,000)
better viewfinder
dramatic tone, film grain and other useful and fun filters
I’m sure I left some out, but the E-5 is undoubtedly a formidable upgrade to the E-5.
so happy to get the news! 😀
I am on my way to the store to upgrade my crummy old e5 with the fabulous NEW E5 !!!
Got a boner just thinkin about it
