Reviews, Etc (E-5, GF2, A55, K-5, etc)

It is a special time for fans of a brand when their flagship camera gets the dpreview review. And today it is Olympus day as dpreview has just posted their 15-page review of the Olympus E-5. Three reviewers collaborated and as usual, we won't spoil the conclusions here. Discussions of the review have already sprung up in the dpreview Olympus SLR Talk Radio forum where we also learn of ice in Austin, Texas.

Next up, a review that fell through the cracks during the catch-up-a-thon during the weekend, the Panasonic GF2 getting evaluated at DC Resource.
