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

Can we forgive the E-M1 for its flaws? You betcha! Just as with the E-M5, the interface curiosities simply aren't sufficiently annoying to detract from the overall experience of the E-M1 which is, quite simply, a hugely enjoyable and rewarding one.It's a ...
Strong build quality, Excellent controls, Excellent image quality, Fast performance
Shutter button too squishy for our liking, Some noticeable LCD and EVF flickering under fluro lights
The OM-D E-M1 takes over as the flagship camera for Olympus. It's a Micro Four Thirds-based camera with a stack of features that's aimed at those of you who want more of a 'pro' feel from a compact system camera. We love it...
Small camera body, Plenty of direct controls, Excellent EVF, High quality images, Weather sealed
LCD not variangle, Some features hard to find, High price
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 l...

This is the first mirrorless camera serious enough that a DSLR-less future is conceivable. The images you get out of the E-M1 are so hot it hurts. If you want a camera for serious business in all situations — daylight, low-light and even no-light — then t...

We tested the E-M1 with the new 12-40mm constant aperture f2.8 Pro lens, which in itself is a masterpiece of mechanics and optics. Focus is lightning fast and images are excellent for sharpness, resolution and colour fidelity. The camera feels like a unit costing several thousand dollars more.
We tried to find fault, but there is nothing we dislike about the EM1
From time to time a camera comes along that sets new standards. Nikon's D800, Canon's 5D MkII, and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 all raised the bar at the time of their release. The E-M1 does it again. It is priced against the mid-range DSLRs from other makers bu...

Owners of Olympus OM-D EM-5 bodies will rightly see the E-M1 as a worthwhile upgrade option and/or extension to their existing kit – provided they are happy about its higher price tag. The new camera has just enough improvements entice many stills photogr...

The OM-D E-M1 is a serious investment, but if you want the experience of a professional camera without the bulk and weight a DSLR, then you should absolutely pick it up. Nothing else offers the same level of ergonomics, customisability and durability thus...
