High Quality and Practicality

By Bigdave

Comments about Olympus E-5 Digital SLR Camera Body:

Having recently purchased an Olympus E5 DSLR camera body from Warehouseexpress, I've spent the last couple of weeks getting to know it (although I'm no stranger to SLR and DSLR cameras having used various over the past forty some years).
The build quality of the camera's weather-proofed moisture and dust resistant magnesium alloy body is superb and its vari-angle LCD screen is both durable and practical. These two features plus excellent Live View are a great asset for me to achieve those near to perfect Macro shots 'out in the field' (whatever the weather). Image quality is also very good straight out of the camera and the inbuilt Art filters are a boon for creativity. My only niggle is with the positioning of the depth of field button, I find it slightly awkward to use. Having said that, the camera more than suits my photographic needs.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
