And now lets’ talk about some unconventional reviews. Want you know for example if the E-M5 is good enough for Astrophotography? The answer comes from Therovingphotographer (Click here): “So there you have it – a somewhat unexpected review, but further solid proof that the E-M5 is a seriously capable little camera.“. And one of the main features of the E-M5 is the robust and weather sealed body. So does’t it really do his job at over 11000 feet? Check out the answer by reading that post on dpreview. And what if something goes wrong with the exposition? Steve Huff (Click here) explains you if you can save an underexposed shot. Oh, and he also compared the E-M5 to the big ones like the NEX-7 and the superpixel D800 (Click here). MirrorlessReviews posted six E-M5 videos on youtube (Click here). And finally the m43 sceptic admin of Camerazealot (Click here) converted himself to the E-M5 religion 🙂
And I end this post with the E-M5 preorder and Amazon ranking links:

e-m5 is also pretty good for IR photography, it can be used handheld with filter (tried it with 720nm filter, waiting to receive 850nm filter for pure b&w IR shots)
Steve Huff “crazy comparisons” are truly crazy 🙂
He does anything to get site-visitors.
A site to read and have a good smile, but not a source for relevant information.
Well, it was a fun read. And it does show how great the E-M5 is. 🙂
I was just about to ask if there is any info how good E-M5 performs in IR photography.
Mr. Balthier Bunansa just nailed it 🙂
Any samples of E-M5 IR shots mybe?
Thanks!

these were my first IR shots with E-M5. so far i didn’t do IR that much so i have to get better in PP. first and third photo are OOC , middle one i played a little in GimPhoto
Hmm photos are so blue… weird
Thanks for samples
that’s because of custom white balance i used. at 2000K leaves are blue, at around 2500K purple, at higher white balance temperature pink and red
nice samples, especially the first one with the dog.Can you give more exact info about the battery, how much shots did you take and how long did you use the camera before it warns for low power?
i don’t know the exact number of shots i took on one charge of the battery, because of shots i deleted while trying out the camera, but i think it’s around 300 shots with ibis always on and control panel on oled screen turn on
The astrophotography samples are scaled down to an extent that they appear completely pointless to me. Or am I missing button for full size or something?
Nice to see the OMD can AF on (if only the brightest) stars! Thats a first I think.. never seen a camera AF work on a star!!!
Yes the image samples were usless!
Nice strap, anyone got a good tip on a similar one?

Cases look interesting, well made and fancy packaging. 🙂

Thanks! I corrected the links now!
If that’s astrophotography, I’m Batman.
Not what I was expected…
LoL! My thoughts exactly 🙂
Most of the things noted above are quite interesting.
But they are facts.
So, I dare to ask, why do they appear under Rumors?
My mistake. Wrong category 🙂
I took this image of Jupiter with my E-P3 without lens, projecting the image of a 9mm Tele-Vue eyepiece, mounted on a small but very high quality apochromatic telescope, directly over the camera sensor. (ISO 1600)

I took the E-M5 to outback Australia last week and did a few astro tests (unfortunately, only tripod mounted to test the 12mm lens), and hand held IR tests.
see my blog posts:

The E-M5 was fantastic, the 12mm lens brilliant for hand held IR and useful for wide angle astro but has lots of aberrations for stars as is typical of most wide angle lenses.
thanks for the settings for IR in your test. i use manual lenses with e-m5 for IR – first i used nikkor 28mm/2.8 ais , then nikkor 20mm/4
