The E-M5 causes me problems with trying to reach the "playback button"
which I wanted to use as the focus button (because of its similar
placement to the button I use for focus on the 5D. It's not so much
being left or right-eyed as it is the rubber ridge right below it. It's
difficult to press unless the camera is away from the eye. I had to use
a different button for focus.
The other problem is the rear control dial. Having the eye to the
eyepiece does present a bit of blockage but the worst problem is that I
usually can't seem to locate it. For some reason it's always farther to
the left than where I think it should be. It's not directly behind the
front control dial which is where I think it should be. On the E-M1
this dial has been move much farther to the right. YMMV
