After a long silence, Olympus today modernized its mid-range E series DSLRs by adding its first video-capable model. The E-5 isn't the most advanced camera with just a 12.3-megapixel sensor and a maximum ISO 6,400 sensitivity but can capture 720p video at 30 frames per second, with an external mic input to improve audio. Olympus' selling point remains weather resistance: the E-5 body is guarded against both dust and water splashes with a magnesium shell that can withstand mild impacts.
