Olympus E5 Test Images HOME Page

I bought the E5 on 8th November and have carried out a few tests to see how it fairs. I have been pleased with the results and would like to share some of the images with you.

These tests are NOT lab tests but simply to try the camera out with different lenses in a very practical way.

All the latest images (See recent Images) are with the E5 camera. I have stopped adding these to this section.
