The image on top (Click on it to enlarge) is another comparison made by the Japanese DSRLcheck website. These are in camera JPEGS with NR off and maximal quality taken with the [shoplink 29074]Olympus E-M5[/shoplink] and the also very new Canon 5DmarkIII (full frame camera that costs $2400 more than the E-M5). The google translation tool doesn’t help me a lot but here is what I hope to have understood from the article. This is an 18mm focal length comparison. The images have been taken at the ideal aperture of the lens (f/4.0 for the E-M5 and f/5.6 for the markIII). The best lens on the E-M5 is the Four Thirds 7-14mm ZD lens ($1799 here at Amazon). The best m43 lens is the Panasonic 7-14mm.
As usual with those testings be aware that there are many subjective variables the tester has to set. But the overall impression I get from these images is that the image quality difference between the two camera is pretty much negligible in real world conditions. That’s a good achievement for that tiny m43 sensor! If you really don’t need the 5DmarkIII buy the E-M5 and spend the money on good quality lenses! Or even better, buy the $149 E-PL1 (here via Cameta) and put a top quality lens like a [shoplink 30452 ebay]17.5mm f/0.95 Nokton (hee on eBay)[/shoplink] on it 🙂
More E-M5 reviews:
Steve Huff (Click here) compared the E-M5 and X PRO 1 video quality and it is definitely not a surprise that the E-M5 beats the Fuji by miles! Fuji didnt’ make the camera with video in mind. P.S.: New firmware is out for the X PRO 1 (via Fujirumors).
Admiringlight (Click here) posted an E-M5 preview: “So, one more thing I feel needs mentioning from my brief time with the camera. The shutter is QUIET. Very quiet. It is far quieter than any other Micro 4/3 body, and quieter than any SLR I’ve ever used. It is almost approaching leaf shutter quiet. Needless to say, if you shoot in quiet environments and need to maintain stealth, this camera deserves a hard look from you.”
The first three user reviews are up at Amazon (Click here). Also the German Amazon (Click here to read their interesting opinion) has three reviews. All six reviewers are super satisfied with their E-M5 camera! A good start 🙂
The first batch of E-M5 (mostly with the 14-42mm kit lens) is now shipping in Europe and USA. And it clearly shows in the rankings that the E-M5 is now climbing on top! Today E-M5 Rankings (changes hourly!):

I am getting sick of those stupid comparisons day by day…
don’t read and skip. It’s impossible to pelase all readers 🙁
Keep them coming! Love the E-M5 updates.
Friendly feedback: Thank you for responding to above; I think you could afford to be more aggressive with people are who are blatantly rude.
You’re doing just fine, Admin … keep it up. 🙂
Hey…admin is just reporting what is out there…but I have to agree with Bobby….that little checkerboard tells me just about nothing. Also, I do not believe for one second that the OM is going to compete with a new full-frame camera. C’mon. I think the OM is a REALLY cool camera, BUT…………………..
Hope to get soon my E-m5 to make an appropriate testing. It’s always soo diffcult to know how others are testing the cameras.
I enjoy reading 43rumors day to day.. but these comparisons are really stupid..
I have two friends which are photographers (man and woman) man had few years back canon 450D and the woman had some old nikon (aps-c) DSLR they both could get a very nice image from their cameras.. I would say almost on professional level.. then they bought 5Dm II and those photos went to another dimension.. I´m not only talking about sharpness corner to corner, but the colours, latitude in post processing in right hands can do magic..
what I would like to see.. when we allready have a comparison between these two cams.. somebody should take a photo of the same scene (landscape/portrait) an do some tweaks on both pictures.. it would be interesting to see how much you can get from em-5 raw and 5DmII/mIII raw and not to compare a crop senzor which shines in cornet to corner sharpness and full frame senzor for which is hard to manucature a wideangle lens with no flaws..
sharpness is one thing, but tonality colours and DR are way more important to me
btw. looking fourward for your em5 test admin!
I would love to see this too.
“stupid”?
Do you have to be so rude?
Can you not criticise nicely?
Face it: stupid is not an impolite word such as a***h**** f***** s**** etc. And if some readers think that something is”stupid” then I think we are allowed to write this. Yes, Admin is doing very good work and I like his news but I see no use in yet another artificial comparison ala DSRLcheck. As this should be constructive critism, I more like work with M43 cams shown here… I think this gives far more input and ideas than another 20 pixel peeper comparisons…
Matt: Thank you for using “stupid” appropriately – referring to the posting, not the person (which would have been rude). However, “stupid” is a bit general. Maybe next time choose a more specific word/term, e.g., redundant, meaningless, uninteresting, off topic, etc.?
“it would be interesting to see how much you can get from em-5 raw and 5DmII/mIII raw and not to compare a crop senzor which shines in cornet to corner sharpness and full frame senzor for which is hard to manucature a wideangle lens with no flaws..”
But is this not what the manufacturer is trying to do. 43 was chosen because of the ability to present a more even sharpness across the sensor (well 1 of the reasons). FF was chosen as it represented an electronic version of an earlier standard. The lenses manufactured for FF need to be brought into the same sphere (sensors and film not being equal). If the FF manufactures made lenses to enable sharpness across the FF sensor the cost would be very, very high.
So there is one of the key elements. If you want corner to corner sharpness, sell your house and buy glass. If you don’t want to sell your house get a 43 m43.
Buying into one system or the other gives the benefits of one system, whatever they may be perceived to be by an individual.
Wishing for the benefits of another system in addition may be possible if it exists or one throws enough money at it.
Admin, by showing these tests and shoot samples is enabling the individuals to see what is in the offing.
Been done to an extent, try this forum (E-M5 ain’t great, but how much of that is the 12-50 lens is questionable):

Oh sorry, I guess it’s not a comparison with the 5d… but a comparison nonetheless!
The E-M5 arrived at my local camera store (Paxtons Sydney CBD). I pre-ordered a black body-only. Apparently 9 other people pre-ordered it too. The problem is that only one arrived!
Fortunately I was first in line so when they called I paid my deposit and had my name written on it.
Frustratingly I don’t have enough money on my debit card, so I can’t even buy it till funds go through.
So there is one E-M5 in a shop with my name on it. FML. I wonder how long the other 9 people will have to wait until the next batch comes!
I was very lucky, i called camera house earlier this week and got the last one they had left after fulfilling pre-orders 🙂 the omd is a beautiful camera to use and works well with my nokton 25.
As the old saying goes “Don’t buy something if you don’t have the money”
Or enough headroom on the plastic… 😉
No, I have the money, just not in my card account (don’t have a credit card!). And it is a public holiday today so I couldn’t move my money in the time since I got the call to say it was available.
@Lucky Did you get any perks? I considered buying from an international vendor but from paxtons I get an extra year warranty (3 years) plus 10 rolls of film developing/printing or 500 digital prints or something. It’s pretty BS we only get the MMF-3 adapter deal. I want the FL-600R or grip!
No perks 🙁
I wasn’t pushing my luck too much as I knew I wouldnt find it anywhere else for a month or two.
My preference is to pay the little bit extra to buy in Australia as I know I have the protection of our consumer laws with regards to warranty, etc.
Good luck with getting your OMD 🙂 I am sure you will be very very happy with it!
Must not be an American saying. Tee hee 🙂
Bob B, of course it competes with it when it comes to straight sharpness of IQ, the 5dmkiii would outperform in low light, DR and the more options with DoF.
You can more or less use any modern day large sensored camera and get similar results if you try, it’s the flexibility and tolerance of each camera that is different. Also ergonomics lol.
Even with the NEX if you use their two good options.
What’s so special about ff camera? Wide lenses have always been problematic, especially zooms…
More shallow DOF at wider angles.
+1…………………
I totatlly agree
You can skip indeed, but somehow I understand you. It is better to visit this site every week or so, so you can filter the really interesting things out of the background noise.
Don’t read them. Many of us DO like them!
I did some testing with e5 vs 5d2 (7-14 / 17-40) and olympus combo slaughters it, especially in the corners and for distortion, vignetting and CA.
Can’t wait for the successor to e5. No FF lens is as good as ZD 7-14mm.
For Real? The ZD WA lens is THAT good? (WA zooms is NOT Canon’s strong suit…that is for sure!). I wonder why the Canont 16-35mm II is not on the chart. (I own that lens and it is nothing to write home about either…The 21mm Zeiss on the other hand……)
Nothing weird in that.
4/3 Zuikos are the size they are because they aren’t undersized, optically underdesigned lenses unlike lots of APS-C and FF lenses which would be good amount larger than currently if made to same optical standards.
the ZD 7-14mm is one fine UWA lens
” .. Or even better, buy the $149 E-PL1 (here via Cameta) and put a top quality lens like a 17.5mm f/0.95 Nokton (hee on eBay) on it .. ”
did you mean it ?
yes!
Comparing mft to ff based only on noise and sharpness is like comparing Ford to Toyota based on the doors and the glass: It matters, it is just the the gest issue. The EPL-1 is a good deal for the money, but there is a reason people only offer $200 for it.
Sorry, “biggest”, not “gest”
I should have my E-M5 tomorrow or friday 😀 Ok nobody cares but I’m happy 😀
Great! 🙂
Hope you enjoy it. While I continue waiting. C’mon. Hurry up Conn’s/Olympus.
I was onto them today. Since I ordered black with the kit lens, I should get mine tomorrow or Friday, if they or the courier are a bit slack.
🙂
LOL! GOOD FOR YOU JF!!!!!!!
I had to canceled my pre-ordered body only black @ B&H yesterday coz I just don”t want to wait untill the end of the month after ,, I got two new E-M5 with the kitlens right now (14-42 &12-50) from 17th street photo as they called me yesterday.
I ended up buying two E-M5 instead of upgrading my D700 to D800,..Personally I just need one but my friend who planned to get one of my OM D he just canceled it after he tried one with the 14-42 kit lens , this is the first time he use mirror less camera ,. He felt uncomptible of seeing the EVF instead of OVF from his Nikon gear , also the camera and the lens is a way to SMALL for his taste . .. So I said , ok ,I will use both of them, I used to have G3& GX1 ,.Which I sold it already ,..
I probably have to sell the kit lens 14-42
though i really like the E-M5, the reviews on amazon.de are worth nothing, as none! of them actually has the cam, although it is already availlable in germany. So they don’t have any meaning at all and should not be mentioned here
Reminder: If you have a local dealer that carries Olympus, check there. Olympus seems to be trying hard to make sure that brick-and-mortar dealers get stock, not just big e-tailers. I dropped in to my local dealer last Saturday and they had two E-M 5s on the shelf, so I bought mine there rather than ordering. Price was the same as Amazon, B&H, etc.
I think this test proves more about the glass than about cameras (which is fine). As a wide-angle shooter, I have been very disappointed with the M.Zuiko 9-18mm–sure it’s small and convenient and decent image quality in the center, but its edges are weak and can ruin a good landscape shot. The Pany G 7-14mm is better, but unfortunately, nothing beats the older high-quality four-thirds glass.
Frustrated with the crappy 14-xx m43 zooms and the 12-50mm (all concerned with being as small as possible and sacrificing image quality), I broke down and bought an old four-thirds 12-60mm f/2.8-4 and use it on my GH2 with adapter. Lens is big and focus is slow, but image quality is OUTSTANDING–razor sharp corner-to-corner beauty. m43 needs more *native* options like this. We have enough tinsy-tiny crap-quality zooms already.
“its edges are weak and can ruin a good landscape shot”
Wow ! don’t you make a little too much ? the edges are a bit soft but to say that it ruins a shot…I have it and I’m happy with it.
“The Pany G 7-14mm is better”
For me, the main drawback is the lack of filter thread. I shoot a lot of seascapes at sunset and like to have GND and ND filters.
“I broke down and bought an old four-thirds 12-60mm f/2.8-4”
I thought a lot about it (there was very good special offer) but with E-M5 it will be unbalanced and the slow focus is a problem for sport photos as I like to do some climbing shots…I’m waiting for panny 12-35 f2.8 but I would prefer a m43 version of 12-60 f2.8-4 just a bit smaller and with top IQ like 43 version.
Exactly! These “tests” are always skewed toward the EM5 by putting the finest 4/3 glass on it and the comparison cameras always have lenses that are average at best, just like the previous tests with the Nex7 and the crappy kit lens. JPEG’s don’t help much as you need RAW’s to get the most out of any camera. My EM5 finally arrived yesterday and I’ll be testing it against my Nex7 using adapted lenses on both. I have a set of incredibly sharp Minolta Rokkors that will be a much more balanced comparison of the actual sensor output. Now if we can just get RAW support for the EM5…
The thing is, the best m4/3rds glass costs as much as the crappy full frame glass, so I guess it’s a fair comparison.
The “small sensor” naysayers sure are starting to experince a lot of cognitive dissonance.
You should check lens pricing because what you said seems pretty flat out false to me. At least in the USA.
That is BS! The overwhelming majority of E-M5 tests have been done with (poor) kit lenses.
I totally agree bli. If anything the E-M5 test results have been hobbled by the 12-50mm that many testers are using on it.
Admin,
It looks like J&R has black with 12-50 and 12-42 in stock! They also accept amazon payment!

there is stronger noise reduction in 5DMkIII Jpeg than E-M5 look at RAW !
Yeah, 5D’s jpegs look like an afterthought on that camera… It renders the particular sample you suggest even worse than Panasonic 12MP cameras and Canon’s own G1X.
Mine arrived today, black body c/w 12-50 kit lens. Not much work getting done here! Bear in mind that I’m upgrading from an E-P1 (which I still love), first impressions are that it’s small but not too small, has a great EVF which is adjustable enough that I don’t have to wear my glasses to use it and is very quiet indeed. The IS noise (of legend!) is only detectable if I put it to my ear and listen for it. Not an issue at all. Black body covering is nicer in real life than in the photos. I think we’re going to get on very well!
“As usual with those testings be aware that there are many subjective variables the tester has to set. But the overall impression I get from these images is that the image quality difference between the two camera is pretty much negligible in real world conditions. That’s a good achievement for that tiny m43 sensor! ”
Real world conditions? And JPEGS? Admin, have you gone fanboy mad? 🙂
We know Olympus JPEG engine is pretty good. This does no good in this comparison to the Canon. Also real world conditions are widely varied, not just this. Come on admin, you are smarter than this! 🙂
I am not saying the EM5 hasn’t made a huge gap smaller, but please think this through a bit 🙂
“Fanboy mad”? What prompted that accusation? I thought that the admin’s disclaimer was the very opposite of being a “fanboy”. Your post shows how ridiculous the use of that word has become. It is to the point now that anytime a person doesn’t agree with someone, they brand them a fanboy. Is your opinion the only one that counts?
The ironic thing is that your comment is way more biased than the admin’s disclaimer (in which he was downplaying the great-looking results of the E-M5). I would be tempted to reveal that it is actually you who is the fanboy, but then the irony would be on me after I just finished condemning the use of that term.
“We know Olympus JPEG engine is pretty good”. What??
What are you basing that on? Which manufacturer has an “excellent” or “the best” jpeg engine if you think Olympus’ is only “pretty good”? I’d love to hear who you think it is.
You tell the admin that his comment is somehow below his intelligence and that he should think it through, while at the same time posting this:
“Also real world conditions are widely varied, not just this.”
I apologize if English is not your first language but I can’t even guess at what you are trying to mean by that.
+42
People are spending a lot of time putting others down. I understand it’s been a bit slow for m43 news lately, but admin has been doing a terrific job keeping us all entertained.
Someone else replied to a similar rant, “If you don’t like what admin posts, don’t visit 43rumors.” Nobody is forcing you to visit this page daily. It’s just another page along with our email, facebook, twitter, etc. to occupy our time.
+100
“If you don’t like what admin posts, don’t visit 43rumors.”
Yes it’s very sad that more and more people from the toxic Olympus DP forum show up here.
Yeah it sure must be. But I was around here early on, so it is indeed very sad. For once I really agree with you 🙂
You are right, nobody is forcing me too. How ironic of you to pretend you can even tell me that when I have defending admin when others have made fun of him!
How many smileys do I have to put to express the tone wasn’t serious? Gosh.
You really need a chill pill. First I was saying that jokingly, not all serious. Did I miss to write enough smileys? I don’t think I did.
““We know Olympus JPEG engine is pretty good”. What??
What are you basing that on? ”
ON my very extensive experience with 4/3rds. But if you need some external evidence, you can take a look around some reviews- or better yet: examine Olympus JPEGS and RAW files, and examine several other competitors JPEGS and their raw files.
I am sorry if you don’t have this knowledge or experience, but don’t throw that shit on me then. You can go ahead and learn it on your own, it’s the best way.
In general I find both Fuji and Olympus to have the best JPEG engines in the market.
:”“Also real world conditions are widely varied, not just this.”
I apologize if English is not your first language but I can’t even guess at what you are trying to mean by that.
The admin needs no defense. In fact, it was ME who defended the admin early on when many hypocrites that now are going “high five” with him called this place “four thirds humor” so don’t get me started.
No, English is not my first language. Sorry you seem so bothered by whatever you call bad grammar but I think in the context it at least suggests what I am getting at – the conditions posted above by admin to determined that the EM5 is oh so close to the Canon FF here are hardly real world conditions. Real world conditions vary a lot. It would be kinda stupid to go just by one. I am sure admin knows better than this which is why I mentioned it.
And look someone sort of pointed out the same thing earlier, not just me.
Still feeding your self loathing complex eh Raist.
I dunno. You should speak for yourself. All you seem to do us little sentences like that being aim attempts at a personal attack with no substance. Maybe you are projecting but only you know the answer.
Oly’s jpegs are a lot better than just “pretty good”. You still havent given me an example of who has a better jpeg engine. The only reason you would downplay the strengths of the system is because of your personal bias.
You werent defending admin, you were attacking him. Thanks for the lesson on what a smiley face means. I didnt realize it meant that you could write whatever you wanted and then not stand behind it. Jackass 🙂 (see what I did there? I pulled a Raist)
Admin never said you should go by just one test. What do you want him to do, not post any test? Or just post the ones you agree with? If you have a link to a test that shows that the e-m5 is not on par with the Canon in wide angle capabilities, post it.
You accuse me of bias lol. I said a few months back I expect Olympus to sell out oftge em5 and that the em5 is a fantastic camera. I daid that seeral times!
That seems to be the problem with fanboys like you- you can’t understand nothing but “perfect” and then selectively pick the evidence of what is said
You talk about the Olympus jpegs an how they are more than just “pretty good” and how I have not given any examples… Did you really read my first reply to you?
Please tell me what part of:
“in general I find both Fuji and Olympus to have the best JPEG engines in the market”
Yes I already wrote that but you didn’t pick it up.
As for admin- go back on dpreview when four thirds rumors was beginning. Look at all the hypocrites that were attacking admin there that now are all high fives with him. I defended him then and I am not attacking him now
My comment is a mere friendly comment – not a personal attack. I have commended admin on his hard work several times.
You know what yet used to call this site at dpreview in the Olympus Dslr forum? Four thirds humor.
The treads are still there – Do not or a second believe me! Look it up for yourself!
What is fairer than that?
“If you really don’t need the 5DmarkIII buy the E-M5 and spend the money on good quality lenses!”
Oh Wait, there aren’t any (zooms)……come on olympus!! The 4/3 system was made by great reasonable priced HG zooms. Not everyone likes to use primes.

You reminded me of the smiley Martian in Mars Attack that keep telling the people that he is a friend, but keep shooting and vaporizing people.
You remind me of some idiots on the internet that apparently can’t understand nor comprehend what I am writing
in some samples the E-M5 video looked very washed out but the IBIS is really something!

Just a note to the admin on the translation – I see comments like ‘the google translation tool didn’t help much’ a lot. Have you considered trying other translation tools when this happens? I’ve found that the Microsoft/Bing translator has been able to translate some pages that google would not translate at all. That’s just one example, there are plenty of others out there, I go to google first myself but if it doesn’t I work I generally am able to find one that does. Keep up the good work!
babelfish.yahoo.com is always better with japanese translation for me.
Don’t know but just got mine. And it’s definitely up to par with the 5DII (Except its full frame dof).
I have tried it in a indoor dim lit restaurant (a friend of me needed some pics for an add for his restaurant). Got it from the shop and noise reduction was still on and all i did changed it to A aperture and changed it to spot focus.
Comming home now i wish i turne off noise reduction.And a whole lot of other stuff, but right out of the box not bad!! The IS is great saves me 2 stops 1/4 sharp by hand on 50mm!!
Check my flickr for the pics 🙂

Thanks for sharing, Tim. Nice shots!
Got my EM-5 this AM via Amazon USA. First thing is you can hear the noise in a normal room assuming you have good hearing but it not a big deal but when you turn it to video you notice it is gone. No it does not need to be up to your ear to hear it. The strap rings must go and the thumb bit is needed. I find my GF1 more comfortable to hold but I may adjust to this and I see why some may want the overpriced grip. Even with a little use the battery side of the came gets warm.
43shot – when did you order from Amazon? I ordered from Amazon USA on Feb 7 and am still waiting.
As did I, merely 2 hours after the camera’s were available to pre-order. AND both the 12-50 and 14-42 kits and still nothing!! They had some in stock tuesday morning so I ordered another one and now that order says an april 30th estimated delivery date….WTF amazon?!?!
Feb 10. I’m also a Prime member. They were available to buy on the site for a while as well.
Thanks, that must be it. You’re a Prime member. Well, it’s encouraging because you did not pre-order much later than me.
I think that any availability on Amazon was likely with the E-M5 plus 14-42 lens. I don’t believe there was ever any availability with the camera and 12-50 lens. If there was, then it would have been a third party vendor and the price would likely be jacked up. So, I’ll just wait. Should not be too much longer. Worth waiting and avoiding both a shipping charge and sales tax. But I did receive the MMF3 from Amazon.
This is so frustrating seeing all these people here and on the dpreview forums say they’ve received their EM-5’s from amazon USA. I pre-order both kits on Feb 7th, 2 hours after the camera was announced and I STILL don’t have a shipping estimate for either camera and they continue to tell me they have not shipped ANY EM-5’s to anyone yet…..I normally don’t get upset with pre-orders and delays, but it just seems downright wrong the way Amazon has handled this release.
two days ago I found the 14-42 kit on amazon IN-STOCK through amazon LLC, even though I already had one on order from feb 7th. I immediately placed an order because I could not get ahold of Amazon customer service and got an estimated delivery of April 30th with overnight shipping, even though the order was placed this past tuesday. Now they can neither confirm nor deny whether the camera will actually ship…..let alone explain to me why they would not have filled my previous order first.
Something very strange is going on with Amazon for this release I’m afraid and will be the last time I use them for a pre-order of ANYTHING. How everyone that ordered their cameras weeks ago are already receiving them before those of us that were supposed to be “first in line” is beyond me.
On the bright side Amazon issued me a $10 gift card for my next purchase…you can imagine my joy and excitement with their generosity. ridiculous…anyway, thats my rant. In the meantime I’ll keep shlepping my big, heavy, albiet amazing D7000 around town with me to pass the time.
The shots from the E-M5 look completly identical for me at f5,6 regarding sharpness and CA. Both 7-14mm seem to be sharper than the 9-18mm at f4 – and darker. Strange…
And all FT lenses at f5.6 are comparable to the bigger brothers at f11, not bad. But no lens and/or body can control the CAs completly. The 5D better than the E-M5 imo.
Dun be silly.. Try it one more time with L lens on 5d..
