  • Rugged and durable build

In an industry where innovation is often limited to ‘more megapixels', this camera has more brilliant new features than we've seen in a very long while. If size isn't a factor, this is undoubtedly the ultimate Micro Four Thirds camera.
Pros:
  • 80MP Tripod High Res Shot
  • 50MP Handheld High Res Shot
  • Up to 7.5 stops of image stabilisation
  • Customisable
  • Tetris-like AF points
  • Joystick control
Cons:
  • "Bulky" for Micro Four Thirds
  • "Pricey" for Micro Four Thirds

Olympus OM-D E-M1X hands-on: A Pro-ready portable powerhouse

There are just some things that seem to be mutually exclusive. Night and day, power and portability, complexity and reliability. So when someone comes up with a way to bring opposites together, it's almost always regarded as nothing short of genius.

Before the world came to an abrupt stop, I was able to get my hands on a camera that I’d been curious about for a while. Last year, 2019, had a packed release/announcement schedule for cameras, it was easy to miss some true gems.

Olympus OM-D E-M1X

If you're thinking about buying the E-M1X, it shouldn't be for its modest imaging and performance improvements. The E-M1 Mark II is still on sale for about $1,700, and is nearly the E-M1X's equal in many respects.
Pros:
  • Sturdy, all-weather build
  • Five-axis sensor stabilization
  • Vari-angle touch LCD
  • Integrated vertical grip
  • 60fps Raw capture
  • Dual batteries and memory card slots
  • 4K video capture
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Tracking not available at top burst rate
  • Relatively small Raw buffer
  • Incremental improvements
  • Underwhelming EVF

Olympus OM-D E-M1X Review

The Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera features a truly rugged, professional build, but its Micro Four Thirds image sensor lags behind the full-frame competition. Olympus wants to shatter the belief that you need to use a full-frame camera in order to be a pro sports photographer. Its answer, the OM-D E-M1X ($2,999, body only), is a mirrorless model with a smaller Micro Four Thirds imager, but built like a pro SLR. Its design incorporates the integrated vertical grip preferred by many pro sport shooters, and dual processors add more advanced subject recognition and tracking to its autofocus system—for some subjects, at least. But at $3,000 it has to compete against others with larger image sensors, as well as the much less expensive Olympus E-M1 Mark II, which offers similar image quality for about half the price. Micro With a Grip There's a feeling among some that mirrorless equals compact. That can be true, but it doesn't have to be. Models with full-frame sensors shave size and weight versus an SLR, but aside from some wide-angle designs, don't use lenses that are significantly smaller. On the other hand, cameras like the Olympus PEN-F, ...
Pros:
  • Sturdy, all-weather build
  • Five-axis sensor stabilization
  • Vari-angle touch LCD
  • Integrated vertical grip
  • 60fps Raw capture
  • Dual batteries and memory card slots
  • 4K video capture

  • Expensive
