The Olympus OM-D EM-5 was recently introduced to the world after internet rumours had all but spoiled the announcement. The Japanese company first showed journalists the camera in a hush-hush operation in Las Vegas earlier in the year which included being bustled into a blacked out limousine. Now, to give everyone a taste of what the OM-D EM-5 is capable of, they took us on a photo tour of Amsterdam, Holland which included a skate park, fashion studio, some free-runners, a fire breather and James Bond. The O-MD EM-5 that we got to see is still pre-production and is subject to some tweaking of the firmware before it’s available in March.
