Olympus E-M1
The Olympus E-M1 builds upon the legacy of the outstanding OM-D E-M5, adding not only a ton of features geared for pros and advanced enthusiasts, but also an on-chip, phase-detect autofocusing system that delivers the responsiveness that Olympus Four Thirds DSLR owners have long been waiting for.
Pros:
- Exceptional rugged, weather-proof, professional build
- Lightning fast contrast-detect AF, and phase-detect AF that makes Four Thirds lenses far more responsive
- Tons of useful physical controls with immense customizability
- Arguably the best image quality of any Micro Four Thirds camera we've tested...
Cons:
- Bigger and heavier than many other compact system cameras
- Most expensive Micro Four Thirds camera on the market to date
- Menu system and customization options have a steep learning curve
- No optical low-pass filter means greater risk of moire
- No built-in flash, Larger and heavier than most compact...

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II review: The most formidable Olympus camera, ever
If you're unfamiliar with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 from three years back, it was the company's flagship compact system camera (CSC), built to a really high standard. We happened to really like it (ok, we loved it). Now we have the second-generation model, the small and mighty Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II.
Pros:
- Very fast
- quick autofocus
- articulated touchscreen
- image stabilisation is unreal
- mechanical and electronic shutter shooting modes
- can be customised to the nth degree
- ever expanding lens choice
- sharp images at low to mid ISO settings
Cons:
- Image quality in low contrast light
- limited dynamic range in high contrast light
- silent shutter is so discreet that it's easy to forget what shooting mode you're in
- it's an expensive purchase

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Review
Lack of time and sleep during the past 6 months due to my hectic schedule have resulted in severe delays of publishing reviews on this website. On one hand, I wish I wrote this review much earlier when I first got the Olympus OM-D E-M1.

Amazing Camera!!
This is my on the go camera these days. I have a DSLR user for a long time but the size of them keeps them on the shelf. OMD EM1 is very intuitive, versatile especially with the Pro Lens12-40 mm f2.8. From landscape to headshot photograpy. It is fast enough for action photo for my use and taste.

An absolutely wonderful camera! They changed me from a Nikon D90 to this so easy to get a little hysterical over how good everything is with this camera when it is so very recent but everything is really on top.

With an 18-frames-per second continuous-shooting speed, overhauled autofocus system and new options to support professionals, Olympus tries to lure them with zippy performance and compact design. Olympus rolled out the big numbers for its announcement of the update to its OM-D E-M1 flagship Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, the OM-D E-M1 Mark II: a new 20.4-megapixel sensor with improved dynamic range, a new Dual Fast autofocus system with 121 phase-detection and 121 contrast-detection points, Cinema 4K/30p video recording, and 18 frames-per-second continuous shooting with autofocus (60fps if you don't need AF).

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II is befitting of the term 'flagship,' and performs every bit as quickly as such a title implies - and it should, given the $2000 MSRP (body-only). At first glance, it looks remarkably similar to an E-M1, but there's been some meaningful tweaking of body elements, from a...
