Olympus E-M5 Micro Four Thirds camera
Olympus has just announced the first ever professional level Micro Four Thirds camera, which also happens to be their new flagship. Following the ‘retro’ naming scheme started by their PEN Micro Four Thirds camera, Olympus is touting the new OM-D E-M5 camera they announced today as the digital ancestor of their old OM cameras from almost half a century ago. This means the Olympus E-M5 does not sit in the ‘PEN’ family in terms of [...]

Olympus SZ-12 ultra-zoom camera
Olympus just announced another ultra-zoom camera which matches the price of the other big zoom model it announced today, but with a bigger zoom range, slightly more compact form factor and higher resolution screen. Why it’s priced the same as its bulkier counterpart with less zoom is beyond me, but if you can wait two months till March, the SZ12 looks like a better deal on paper.
