Olympus E-5 Digital Slr Camera (Body Only)

This is a wonderful piece of equipment. Built like a tank and sealed against the environment. Unfortunately, Olympus appears to have abandoned the E-System DSLR user in favor of their new OMD series. I bought this camera as an \"insurance\" body. I have a considerable investment in E-System lenses and equipment and realized that if my E-5 body was ever damaged or stolen, I\'d be out of luck. Hence, this second E-5 body. By the way, I couldn\'t find a U.S. dealer that still had the E-5 so had to buy from a Japan dealer at a slightly higher price. The dealer was great. I actually received the camera in about half the time it typically takes for delivery from a U.S. dealer. (4 days!)
There is no package box, the manual is very old and dilapidated.The shutter release count is 8388, it\'s an used item!
Re-engage with my hobby again and I love it. This camera is a perfect match for this.excellent pictures and all my lenses can be used again, what else do you need?
great camera for the money
Fabulous camera. I am impressed with the improvements, ease of use and quality of photos.
Pro body that is fast and responsive, great ergonomics. Solid with great menus and a unique and excellent user interface. This is the only camera in Olympus\'s original 4/3 line to compare favorably in low light with APS and some of the full frame cameras. The others are good in sufficient light but fall apart at 1600 - 3200 ISO. Picture on this one is excellent.The real reason to get one of these though is the original pro 4/3 lenses. They are the sharpest I\'ve ever shot (outside of my Leicas), and fast (due to the smaller sensor). Amazing glass.
The E-5 with it\'s indestructible body, weather sealed body built for it\'s weather sealed four thirds Zuiko lenses, it\'s on board image stabilization, it\'s articulating screen display, and it\'s professional quality is a fantastic camera. Too bad Olympus chose to abandon theE system platform. They had a winner.in the E series bodies.Hopefully they won\'t eventually leave their dedicated customers holding expensive quality glass lenses with no body to attach them to.Their OMDEM1 will accommodate the four thirds lenses with an adapter but whether their next high end camera will do the same is anybodies guess. We keep waiting to hear whether or not Olympus intends to support our expensive four thirds lenses in the future.
