Camera tests can be somewhat tedious, and if you’re a tried and true camera nerd, you have probably seen experiments and comparisons ad nauseum. But this test, showing the effectiveness if the image stabilisation feature of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 has a personal touch that makes it stand out among the rest.
Vimeo user Fiatopichan suffers from something called essential tremor, causing his hands to shake at a rate of 5-10 Hz. You could see why he might be excited by the 5-axis image stabilization on Olympus’ beauty of a micro-four thirds cam. The results are pretty amazing, with the OM-D E-M5 significantly reducing jitter. [Vimeo via PetaPixel]

When are companies going to get away from random letters and numbers for their model name? There’s definitely been an evolution away from it – especially in the phone market – but the OM-D E-M5? Oh, how memorable!
I agree it’s not the snappiest name but really it’s a brand and a model – OM-Digital (like PEN), and the model is an E-series, Micro-Four Thirds (E-M). The only random part is the 5.
I remember the original OM series fondly and personally I want one of these!
