Having so much control at your fingertips
With no compromises
Is a breath of fresh air when many mirrorless cameras take a more paired down approach. Having something small
Light
But still suitable for speed and rigorous shooting is fantastic. It is g
Incredibly fast and accurate AF
Weather Sealed
Very useful EVF
The editors didn't like
Even though the micro four thirds can rival APS-C in terms of image quality
That sensor size is still a roadblock for shooters who crave super shallow depth of field. When you are spending over a grand on a camera
Quality 16-megapixel CSC, Excellent built-in EVF, Superior ISO capability
Much too expensive, Top video quality only 1080/30p, Great images, but not full-frame level
We don't understand the sometimes over-the-top positive online reaction to this capable but hardly extraordinary mirrorless camera. Yes, it certainly can capture quality stills and good 1080/30p videos. But for $1,400 body only? No way. Although much la...
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is one of the best micro four thirds-system cameras yet, so if this test makes it look like a serious camera, thats because it is. The rugged-looking magnesium-alloy, weather-sealed body has all the features an enthusiast photograph...
Build quality and weatherproof finish, Wide, comfortable viewfinder, Builtin mechanical stabilisation, Fast autofocus, 10 fps burst mode with AF, WiFi, Good choice of lenses available, Art Filters are fun and work well
Battery life could be better, Menus can be complicated, No sweep panorama, Stabiliser is noisy, No silent shooting mode, Video mode is quite limited
It's hard to find fault with the Olympus OM-D E-M1. With enhanced picture quality, a speedier autofocus, a nice wide viewfinder, a 10 fps burst mode and an all-weather finish, the E-M1 has plenty of qualities to win over enthusiasts and pros. Olympus has ...
Superb electronic viewfinder, Responsive AF system, Good image quality, Sturdy build
JPEG files somewhat over-processed
The Olympus E-M1 delivers the goods across the board, with an impressive specification, fantastic build quality and a level of performance to match or better almost any CSC on the market. All of which combines to make to E-M1 not only one of the best CSCs...
With gorgeous images—even in low light, incredible speed, and a wealth of high-end features, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 is the best Micro Four Thirds camera that money can buy. It's an easy Editors' Choice award winner....
Not only is the OM-D E-M1 a brilliant move from Olympus, it's a strong contender for our camera of the year. We think pros—at least those who are fed up with the weight and bulk of modern DSLRs—are going to love this camera. Matching pro build quality wit...
Comprehensive featureset, Good handling, Tough construction
Menu not navigable by touch control, Expensive
Happily the E-M1 isn't all style and no substance. It also delivers high quality, correctly exposed images with plenty of detail, good colour and well-controlled noise. The images look natural and sharp and although there is noise visible at relatively lo...
Ugly ear pads, Dubious wireless dongle design, A little chunky, Wireless LS30s retail for almost half the price
So far we've only seen a pre-production model of the Olympus OM-D E-M1, but we were very impressed with what we saw. The DSLR-style design will appeal to enthusiasts looking for top-notch picture quality rather than those looking for a space-saving co

The LensPacks is an interesting product; on the one hand using it in the Glass Limo backpack was handy, but really didn't make a huge difference other than helping me to organise the bag just a little bit better.However pop the LensPack into the base of t...
Abstract: I get to work with a lot of different cameras, and as you have probably noticed from prior posts, I'm a huge fan of mirrorless cameras. One of the camera bodies that I have been happiest with is the Olympus OM-D. I presently own an OM-D E-MI , an E-M5II ...
