E-M1 DXO marks

[cosmonaut]

Well the results are in. DXO marks score the E-M1 almost the same as the E-M5. But I am buying for the features and build more than anything else. A little improvement would have been nice though.

Olympus E-M5 = Ergonomic Disaster
Olympus E-M1 = Ergonomic Delight

Both are great m4/3 cameras quality wise it seems.

Well I think the E-M1 is a replacement for the E5 and was never intended to be an upgrade of the E-M5. But some improvement would have set well.

DxO doesn't test image stabalization, correct? I was photographing bingo in a bar (more fun than you'd imagine) sunday night. Clear shots from hand held, at 260mm effective focal length (using the E-510's 40mm-150mm F4-5.6 long kit lens) at 1/8s.

I've never used the E-M5, so I can't say how effective it's IS is, but for me, the E-M1 is utterly amazing.

Well I am having issues with the IS the keeper rate isn't nearly as good as the E5. Maybe it's shutters shock? But the E-M1 is a delight to use despite its quirks.
