David and Goliath - Olympus E-M1 v Canon EOS 5D Mk III

We’ve just got the Olympus OM-D E-M1 in for testing, and thought it would be a Fun Friday thing to do to compare its size directly alongside the full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mk III.

The Canon EOS 5D Mk III is fitted with the excellent Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens, and the Olympus OM-D has the original version of the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 mounted, so they offer a similar angle of view – the Olympus/Panasonic pairing actually provides a slightly longer focal length of 40mm, in 35mm full-frame terms.

David and Goliath, eat your heart out…

I’m looking forward to the OMD EM1 review. Looks like a very fancy and advanced tiny slr. Its barely the same size as my 1100d, but thinner, and ofcourse a lot better, and a lot more expensive. I bet that in the noise department though they do a similar job.

I know i am being fussy, but without a flash i am just not as excited about it, i use fill in flash a hell of a lot and i do find when i use cameras without one i just seem to miss it. Apart from that, lovely camera.

You people should learn to read.

What part haven’t you understand when they say “…to compare its size alongside…”?

They never said anything about image quality…

I was looking for more too, but the article only says “…a Fun Friday thing to do to compare its size” and that’s what they did :-/

Seems to be a teaser for an upcoming M1-review.

(yawn)
