Love the live view, the menu is very easy to navigate. Wish it had a multiple exposer setting. Thats it no cons for me. It is small and has an excellent handle you can securely handle this SLR with one hand.

I have been using Olympus when all the hardcore Nikon and Canon fans did nothing but laugh. I know this to be true. I have used Olympus digital cameras for years. I have had an E20 and currently own an E500 and an E510.

I own the E500 before finally upgrading to the newer E510. After months of looking at different cameras and internet camera reviews, I finally bought E510. At the time I purchased.

Full description

The E-5 is the flagship model of the Olympus E-series digital SLR camera lineup. The E-5 incorporates an array of impressive the features such as the multiple exposure, electronic level gauge and imager AF first introduced on the E-30, the advanced image processing engine popularized by the Olympus PEN series, plus art filter and HD movie functions. Like the E-3, the E-5 features a dust- and splash-proof body that makes extensive use of seals and is made of lightweight but rigid magnesium alloy. Any dust that does manage to penetrate to the image sensor is quickly removed by Olympus's industry-leading dust reduction system. This make it possible for users to concentrate on taking pictures without worrying about the camera or lenses even under in punishing outdoor conditions. As for image quality, the E-5 offers truly breathtaking performance thanks to its "TruePic V+" image processing engine with Fine-Detail Processing technology. This enhances the sense of detail and resolution, maximizing the potential of the 12.3-megapixel high-speed live MOS sensor to deliver pictures that are sharper and clearer than ever before. To make it easy for users to take advantage of all that imaging power, the E-5 boasts the 3-inch VGA HyperCrystal LCD monitor with dual-axis swiveling system for more comfortable and more flexible Live View shooting of movies and still photographs. Olympus is positioning the E-5 as its flagship digital SLR model, targeting it at professionals and serious amateurs, as well as marketing it as a step-up model for owners of popular-type SLR cameras such as the E-620. Together with the Olympus PEN series of micro four thirds interchangeable lens cameras that can be used as sub-cameras by professionals or as personal cameras by general users, the E-5 is part of a line of products designed to satisfy the widest possible range of consumers.
