- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- Olympus OM-D E-M1X is a pro-series body with an integrated vertical grip, new stabilization, and a new autofocus tracking system with machine learning technology. This camera promises to free you up from having to bring a tripod and even ND filters. Evelyn Drake & Dave Paul tested an early copy of this new camera from Flordia to the Yukon putting it through a variety of tests to see if the new features make it worth its pro-level price point.

Another unbiased honest review telling all strenghts and weaknesses in good tcs tradition. Most trusted channel for me in regards of tech reviews.
Really appreciate the feedback, thanks
This is absolutely one of the better reviews I've seen of the new Olympus. It seemed balanced and fair. I was also pleased to see your Yukon footage. I've lived here for more than forty years, and it's nice to see others appreciating our wonderful country and light. As for the winter temps? Well, you were lucky. This has been one of the mildest winters I can remember, but the harsh climate is definitely one of the main reasons I've shot Olympus for so long. Their cameras have proven incredibly tough and reliable for me no matter the conditions, something I am not able to say about my experiences with some of their competitor's products. Anyway, nice review. Thanks, and consider me a new subscriber.
Thanks Christopher. We certainly were "lucky" when we arrived. But, the camera held up surprisingly well.
Best review I've seen of this camera so far! You guys have hit your stride with this one! Thorough yet not too long. Great work.
Thanks so much. We appreciate the feedback.
nice to see real locations with beautiful light in a camera review. Really well done, and a valuable summary of this camera. :)
Honestly, that's a great camera if you care about real photography not specs bragging.
But so is an E-M10.
Awesome camera! The shots look good to me, very detailed and beautiful color.
So refreshing to see an unbiased review of M4/3 camera.
Best video from you guys yet!
it's 40 degrees Celsius here in Melbourne Australia and I felt cold watching your video. Haha
the most comprehensive review ever greatjob
You guys are looking more confident all the time. Keep up the good work!
Great review! And I really like this kind of video where you guys go on an adventure! It really stands out from the rest of reviews around! Keep the great work!
Thank you. We do too. Adventures, where you get to make stuff, are the best.
Very clear and like how you mentioned button quality and placement as advantage. Also with full frame in high gear now, helpful to see your take on portability and a compromise at iso 1600 vs iso 800. The look at using the Olympus hi res photo in a lobby was very good. Interesting af mode. Nice location contrasts. 🐕🚴❄🌴
Wow you get to travel to some beautiful places. I like this camera. 🇨🇦
Great review! Love the new intro music too. I'd have to get a hacksaw to saw off the grip as I no longer want to carry big cameras, but I love Olympus Pro glass and hope they come out with a smaller body so I can upgrade my EM1 mark 2.
Woah fancy intro! Very nice work!
Edit: that stabilisation is quite impressive if a bit wonky for video.
I will get my camera this weekend can’t wait to try it out
'Everything is better now...' - yup, coffee does that. Great video/travelogue, thanks.
Heallo to you both! I fund you some a week ago and love your movies. They are very charming an informativ for me. I love the way you do this and hope for more! Thanks from Austria (the land with NO Kangoroos!) :-D Best Regards from WOLF
I liked it. I got to handle their M1 Mark II recently in an Orlando FL camera store. I was really impressed with holding the Mark II with an 800 effective zoom and a 600 effective prime. I found myself talking to my son and the store rep while holding the camera with my right hand, while making a lot of expressive arm movements, for quite a bit of time (probably 30 minutes cumulative) and forgetting about the camera. The 300mm prime Pro is f4.
The things you have to face to put out a camera review are brutal sometimes !! Appreciate it!
It was so cold shooting the dog sledding but well worth the experience.
Great balanced review. I've seen a few other reviews now that been "too enthusiastic" or more commonly, overly critical of the shortcomings. I've shot all three major systems (Nikon FX, Fuji X, and Olympus/Panasonic m4/3) extensively, and have shot high level collegiate sports extensively. Yes, DoF is nice; yes more bokeh for isolation is nice; but they aren't everything. m4/3 has its place. It does seem to be a drawback, however, that the EVF is not quite up to par (many reviewers have commented on this) and low light performance does lack a bit for m4/3.
Can’t wait to buy this camera
Got to hold one last week with a 12-40mm f/2.8 mounted. It was probably the fastest AF I've ever experienced in my life, very impressive.
Very helpful review. Thank you.
I had to put on my blanket watching your yukon trip. I don't think my Sony A7s would handle that.
Hi, I have always enjoyed the Camera Store Reviews, someone has a good knack for selecting presenters
Thank you. :)
Wow, Yukon in winter is beautiful.
So gorgeous! You have to go!
Wow! 9:09 this color looks like in 80`s) I'm seriously) Impressive color, very cool camera with more features. Thx for this cool video.
Great review!! Thanks
Great video!
Thanks for the video. I found myself looking for Jared Polin in the background as looks like he was (probably) at the same Olympus-sponsored shoot.
Thank you for posting an honest review of the camera, and not slathered in hate like some of the others. Keep up the great work.
To me, I think that the most "honest" people are the ones who get an all-expense paid trip somewhere and still criticize a camera in the places where it needs criticizing. And some other reviews I have seen have done that. It is the easiest thing in the world to slather praise on a camera if a company paid to send you somewhere. That said, I'm not saying that this review was bad for not hating on the camera more, and they did go over some downsides. But the truth is that if someone spends thousands of dollars on something, they might want some videos that really highlight the downsides so they will know exactly what they are getting into before they lay out that much money on it.
Decent review, showing pros and cons of this camera in a cleaner and less biased way that most of the other channels out there. I can't understand why they didn't looked for a better sensor, since 3 years would have allowed them to develop something new for sure. This cripples it a s a sport camera, where ISO sensitivity can make the difference in poor lighting; I also find unacceptable they just thrown in the old EM5MkII viewfinder just increasing magnification when out there there are a lot of better ones (Panasonic G9). This camera does a lot more things then the EM1MkII, but, as far as taking pictures, does not improve over an almost three years old camera significantly. I'm stuck with my EM5MkII, which is 5 years old and it's a bit slow. Video option is also nothing to write home compared to Fuji, Sony and Panasonic.Since putting it side by side with my Panasonic Gx9 didn't showed a marked quality improvement (except for 20Mp vs 16Mp) and if possible a very slight decrease of quality at high ISO, I'm now wonder if Tony Northrup wasn't actually right about M43 being "dead", or rather having reached it's development limits and it is time to switch to Fuji...
Another great Review! I love your work! The Em1X is fantastic, although not for me. I love MFT and work daily with the GH5, GH4 and GX80, besides the APS D7200. I am currently planning to replace my GH4 with the EM1 ii or G9, renewed options with the new FW. All systems have PROS and Cons, although sometimes in reviews it seems that FF is always higher than MFT, which is not true. Each tool has its use. This is very clear in your work. Greetings from Germany
I used to photograph trains with my Kodak Fiesta camera....did a great job.
I doubt I could ever afford to spend this amount on a camera but I really enjoyed your review, which to me seemed to push this camera to its physical limits and didn't bang on about it being a micro four thirds system too much and provided an honest opinion on the pro's and cons - Its a like from me :-)
Thanks John. We worked hard on this one and appreciate the feedback. :)
Looks like an amazing camera. I wish I could afford it.
NIce review. I don't get the heavy criticism. I know it isn't for everyone. I do see lots of people using the zuiko lenses so I know lots of high end consumers are loving Olympus. I think many of them will love this camera. I get a little jealous myself even though I love my panasonics.
Nice to see Osborne #16 back on the track !!!! 👏
I would have liked to see a higher resolution EVF as well and they could have increased the size of the rear LCD, since there is so much space left. I personally would not mind a 4" display.
I am wondering, what the 150-400mm lens will cost, when it is released next year...
Thanks for the early review guys!
Well done and very objective and impartial. Lots of good info. A solid description of strengths and weaknesses. But -40 degrees? I don't know how you do it. There is a reason I retired in the Philippines. Those kind of temperatures would literally shut down my respiratory system. So you also get a tough award.
Really like that intro :-)
Clearly a great camera but priced way out of my budget. My two (used) E-M1 series one cameras will have to do for The foreseeable future. Great review btw.
I just bought an e-m1 used(waiting on delivery), and may sell my Panasonic G9 and put the price difference into lenses and/or lights. The g9 is great, but I'm not convinced I need the extra features right now. My wife does great with an old e-m5.
The more I shoot and the further we get into better tech, the more I REALLY don't care about a blown out background or high ISO performance. Just take good images, be a photographer or videographer. Get the good light, nail that action shot because its easier then it ever has to get great images. Complaining about the evf being low res is fine, but its not like it's impossible to get good images.
I second that. EVF's have been highly useable for years now.
So, basically, ISO and bokeh are not that important..."just take good images". Well, I guess that's also true if you got a Canon Rebel, which would be thousands of dollars less.
Absolutely agree with you. In the Uk, we call this nit-picking.
@@TL-xw6fh I agree with you. We also complain about something that "isn't up to a standard". Where once we have something new and cool it becomes a requirement from then on. Something like IBIS is a good example.
@@Rationalific Landscape and architecture photographers hate bokeh and high ISO. Bokeh is a totally over rated feature. It's just like fashion, it will soon pass into history just like bell bottoms.
I watched a lot of reviews. In one, Kevin Raber talked about the handheld long zoom capability, which was a big selling point for me. The only possible issue for me is price, however, I don't think I could do better anywhere near the price.
This looks like it would be a great camera for motocross, snowmobile racing and sled dog racing, which we have a lot of here where I live :)
I use Fuji and Olympus and the key to bokeh with m4/3rds is to use Primes. I use old Nikon A1and M42 lenses with focal reducers.and you would be amazed.. I can't see paying that much for this camera though!
good to know!going to buy the OM-D10iii later this year for video only!using D750 and it got crappy video settings!
@R Rivera ...Yes but with a focal reducer (speed booster)you are giving your lens one extra step of light which means that a 2.0 is now a1.0..The focal amount of the lens..say a 55mm turns into more of an 85mm full frame equivalent like an APS-C...This vastly changes the equation and the lens is usually a little sharper too.
@Strawberry Kiys .....Everyone likes a camera that can do as much as possible...Olympus as the best IBIS out there..Most rarely even clean the sensor because the internal system is so good.I like to do rural and urban decay but every once in a while a portrait...Manipulating the lens combined with the separation can do pretty well!
@R Rivera ..Very well..It's as good or better than my Fuji....We had a facebook challenge of a model's image...Full frame..APSC and m4/3rds...Everyone used whatever lens they wanted...I used an M42 Sears Auto1.4 with a focal reducer and I had soap bubble bokeh and a bunch of them guessed it was full frame or APS-C!...LOL!
@@jackmckechnie5801The difference between F2.0 and F1.0 is 2 stops. F1.4 would be one stop.
Very symphatic
Nice work. As an Olympus/Canon user, I am unsure as to whether or not I would invest in this camera.
Great work guys! I see the camera is huge! Would you say it’s as big as Nikon D5?
No not quite. It's shorter and lighter. The lenses are where you'd save the most weight/size.
Olympus absolutely kicks ass but Id love to see these features on a crop sensor because the m4/3 has its limitations.
Looking forward to your full review.
Can you back up your settings to the SD card like in the G9?
We will have to look into that one. I'll find out.
You can’t save the settings to an SD card. However, what you can do is save it to your computer via the free ‘Olympus Digital Camera Updater’ which is automatically installed when you install Olympus Viewer 3 program (the free editing program for Olympus cameras).
Great video, very interesting camera because it seems to have been made for a niche photographer who has deep pockets. What about a comparison with the Panasonic G9? In some ways they are similar but the G9 is a more reasonable price.
I'm interested in this body(I'm very positive about the size): You know every video on this AF feature shows locking on a single vehicle. not one in a pack. How do you choose the target in a pack?
It highlights multiples as you can choose which vehicle you want it to AF on. It will show which trackable subjects are in the frame, then you are able to select which one to track and land the AF on. If you don't select it, it will default to the closest one.
Best review you guys have made, love those shots in the Yukon! The camera is a big fail though imo; too expensive, too big and heavy for a M43 camera (who will pick this over a D850 which has the same weight), mediocre EVF, no 4K60p or 10bit video, same old 20MP sensor.... but the handheld multishot is very cool.. I don't think this camera will sell at this price, I'm predicting a drop to around 2200-2400 before the end of this year.
Thanks. It was definitely the most complex. But, it was fun to tell the story of our little adventure while reviewing a camera.
How sharp and alias-free is the 1080p?
Can motorsport tracking be used on other moving objects that occupy a horizontal box, e.g., airplanes, sleds, speedboats, etc.
There is a dedicated airplane mode in addition to motorsports and we've seen other reviews test it on trucks, snowmobiles etc. I haven't seen boats tested.
It´s so much like the old E-5 - very pro body, great functions, extreme durability, very nice image quality (but lacking behind the actual competition), too expensive, and too late to the party. Let´s hope Olympus has played the right card this time, the E-5 was the end of their DSLR line.
I commend them for trying to keep Micro 4/3rd's alive but there are much better options at this price
This might be good for professional traveling photographers who shoots for work.
Yeah, depending on the subject matter, this would be an excellent choice for some pros.
Del Griffith will try to sell you shower curtain rings in Planes, Trains and Automobiles mode.
Good job on this review. Wow it would be hard I think to buy this over say a Sony A7iii which is a thousand less. Curious how popular it will be.
Well I will choose Sony A7 iii or Nikon Z6
The point of the mft system is that your entire kit will be much less weight on your back. Since switching to mft, I use all of the lenses that I do have far more than I ever did with my full frame glass because I no longer have to make the decisions of which lenses I will be taking with me for the day/trip.
@@stevey500 true Steve you got a point because last time I went to Yosemite all I had was my G7 in the kit lens in the backpack and it weighed less than the water . If that's the case whoever designed this bad boy didn't get the memo because the body is pretty full-sized
@@stevey500 So Olympus dropped a new "flagship" that will "add weight on your back."? Makes sense.
@@jakelindsay6251 In comparison to the weight of all of the optics of your kit, the extra weight of the camera is tiny. The point of this camera is gaining ultra high performance and endurance shooting with the same extremely manageable MFT kit you've already got. If the larger high performance body camera is not for you, it's not for you.
It hurts to see how far m43 has fallen. I switched from m43 to Fuji a year ago and I still have a soft spot for Olympus and Panasonic. Not many people, if any, is going to buy this camera not because it's a bad camera, it's exactly the kind of camera Olympus should've released a few years ago and even then 3K price could be a stretch. Sad.
In order for small sensor cameras to stay competitive requires a lot more imagination, if Olympus didn't force the vertical grip and instead used a round sensor for maximum utilisation of the 4/3 image circle. that could be a real innovation, one that can compete with APS-C or even attract FF users. Small sensor cameras shouldn't pretend to be large.
I find that only ATG Gold TTL monolights support Olympus.
Why Broncolor, Profoto, Elinchrom & Phottix don't support Olympus?
This looks like the camera for which no one has been waiting: too big and too expensive for micro four thirds. It has some interesting features that I hope will find its way into smaller, cheaper cameras, but it also has some notable weaknesses too. I will stick with my G9 and GX8 for the time being.
It's a shame to always here people complain about things that will not change when shooting with M43. These are not limitation this is a M43 and if you were e pecking something different you are dumber than I thought. When somebody makes the change to M43 there is a reason. Personally for me it was size. I've owned other cameras and having to lug around a hug telephoto lens was a total turn off. Secondly I very rarely crop my photographs so my image always stay sharp and clean. Lastly, it seems only TH-camrs magnify the image to a point that most normal people never do. I got to use the OM-D E-M1X @mikescamer in Sac this weekend and the camera was absolutely awesome. I was blown away at what it could do and what I could in that short bit of time. If you don't like M43 then this camera is not for you or any M43. Remember a camera will not make you a better photographer. My wife she shoots with iPhone and the images that she capture makes me look like an amateur. So don't get all worked up, just find a camera system that works for you.
Richard M It’s not the camera but who’s behind the camera...I personally love Olympus OMD cameras and lenses.
Why do I feel like Soon I'll be one of the only people still using DSLRs lol?
Because DSLR's are having little to no advantage over Mirrorless these days (yus, AF is still better but with the AI Sony, Olympus and Panasonic are/will implement that soon will be history). It's the same reason people were not using (in large masses) Medium and Large format cameras once 35mm film was established.
-40? I'm finnish and -20 is my absolute max limit. Nevermind trying to take photos.
Yeah: "we have electric heat in the cabin...and "the power is out"(?)That's a major tactical error in Alaska Geezus...No backup wood burner or gas heat?
that evf looks like nintendo 64 , which i like
Looks like a great camera,for $1000..period...Whatever they drink or smoke at Olympus is some incredible stuff,or they just made up some random price.Seriously,you can,as someone said,get the Nikon D500 and glass..Nikon D810 used,D500 body together for a bit more,,Almost a D850 body....with another $1500,get a medium format Fuji GFX50R or a Sony A9,,Get the Sony A7iii and glass...Canon EOS R..Nikon Z6 and glass....I would never suggest to anyone what to do with their money,yet I am SURE they will nOT sell out their stock,and the price will severely drop by the spring.Expect firmware updates by next month,and the price at $1200 by June...$3000 for a micro 4/3 remake??
I really enjoyed your video review. interesting activities, interesting to watch. thanks. however the camera.. is not for my needs..
First Air serves hot cookies too. Seems like a northern practice.
The price is too high , did you guys shoot wedding with this kind of camera as main camera..?
que tendrá que ver las bodas con esta máquina, es para otro tipo de fotografía, para bodas con un sony 7 que es lo que ya uso, porque es una fotografía muy simple, el olympus es una máquina para deportes y fauna.
Looks like Olympus is on ‘Suicide Watch’, seriously $3k, what are they smokin at Olympus?
Look. Even if they've done a considerably bad job at targeting their demographic with their asking price, you have to at least see who they're targetting or your argument falls apart real quick. If MFT enthusiasts and the like are going to consider this camera, the asking price may seem very expensive. But they are targeting this camera towards action and wildlife shooters, who rely on their Canon 1DX II's or their Nikon D5's or their Sony RX10 or A99 (or wtf/e). How much are they? 1DX II ~6000 USD; D5 ~6500 USD, I hope you get the idea. Seeing as though you're the 655th cameraman to ever exist, they do have video features like OM-Log400 and DCI 4K (i personally can't wait for the trickle-down), but seeing as though the 1DX II *also* has those features or potentially more, Olympus *had* to offer something like it if they're competing with the Canons and the Nikons. And the EM1X seems like a steal to me on the basis of price.
That fugly olympus menu interface from 2002 is still there?
Not sure what Olympus was thinking when they came up with this camera.
Lets see what you have to say. Jared hit em pretty hard.. the camera that is.
Small and cheap are out, What were the other benefits of micro snore thirds?
Smaller overall kit size, once you factor in lenses, and still the best IBIS.
The Fuji 200 is enormous and it’s a 200
The Fuji 200 is enormous and it’s a 200mm.
Ok, I'm not sure what you're getting at. How does that relate to my reply? Fuji lenses ARE large, and heavy, from what I've seen. Fuji is APS-C, so it doesn't have anything to do with micro four thirds.
Hmmmmm the D500 is 1000$ cheaper... get a tamron 70-200g2 for that saved money and you get whats effectively one of the best combos in the world!
The point of the olympus system is that your kit of lenses will be a fraction of the weight of a nikon system
stevey500 so good performance and good price should be substituted with the fact that its a few hundred grams lighter?
@@stevey500 The point of the Olympus system...minus this...is that your kit will weigh less. But if you care about weight, the body should matter as well, and this one weighs more than a Nikon D850. So I understand going small, with an E-M5 or PEN, and I understand going big, like a D850 with large lenses. But to save on lenses only to have a big body doesn't make that much sense. Sony's mirrorless lineup has small bodies and medium to large lenses, so that's the reverse, but at least then, you are getting full-frame images.
I don't own Nikon anymore but the D500 is still the best value for sports...
If you've ever used a modern mirrorless camera ... a DSLR is not a real alternative.
Nice review, however the built in vertical grip is a killer for the camera. It makes the camera bulky, too big too heavy and adds unnecessary cost ??? I love the MFT format just because the cameras are smaller, lighter and price is reasonable. I have the E-M1m2 and love that camera and also do 2 sec. exposures from my hand and no support. I too have the 50MPX mode but for my landscape photography it is practically useless, majority of my images are with longer shutter speeds 0.5s to several minutes and the 50MPX mode can't handle that. It would be better to have 30MPX sensor instead and not to fiddle with the pseudo 50MPX mode . The 20 MPX sensor is outdated anyway. High ISO is not a problem for me, the highest I go is about 800.
Well this body is about 1 Kg and this is too much , I just got the PEN -F and is only 380g with the same sensor, IBIS and 50MPX and it cost $999
I think you had a good summary of the camera and we will see how popular it will get, my feel is that soon the price will slide down rapidly because you can get smaller , lighter and cheaper FF cameras.
Big camera and small sensor.. what's the point?
Anyway, nice review and hi from the frozen Siberia! :)
Small lenses, lower weight. Really, really important to people who spend their lives lugging camera equipment around. I used to lug three bags to motorsports events. First was a basic bag with two Canon bodies and short lenses up to a 70-200. Second bag was a 300mm f:2.8 and the third was a 500mm f:4. All in all, that was more than 20 kilos of equipment and really awkward to carry (forgot about the monopod). With this I could carry two bodies (I don't have an E-M1x) and four lenses in one bag and it wouldn't be more than ten kilos. In fact, it would be less... in a single bag.
Anyway, it's not actually that big when you see it next to a D5 or a 1Dx and it's about 30% cheaper. For sports/action/wildlife it makes total sense. New photographers would love it too.
Where is Chris?Oh yeah with DPreview...In our subject now...This camera looks beautiful and im sure handles the same but the sensor is a joke...Admit it...
I agree that there are challenges with Micro 4/3. But, they have done a very good job overcoming many of them in this camera and it gives options that other formats simply don't have, especially in regards to stabilization and utilizing compact telephoto lenses. If you don't like travelling with a tripod 7.5 stops of dual IS is very handy. And, being able to get a medium format sized file of a landscape or something static handheld could make this a good option for some people. Is this camera for everyone, definitely not. But, I don't think it's a joke at all. Having options is a good thing. :)
But.... you can pick up a G9 for $1000 now.
Una máquina muy inferior es normal que cuesta mucho menos.
Yep. For the same price you can get the camera, grip kit lens and a leica 100-400.
Joe Marano Yeah... THAT puts things in perspective. Wow.
Use a speed booster for low light.
But then the autofocus is terrible!
Yeah, like Jordan said, the AF really suffers when you use a speedbooster. But, if you manually focus for video, that is a solid option to add more light and shallower DOF.
This $3k camera is not overkill. It is stupid kill. At its core OM cameras are MFT meaning it has a tiny sensor. Olympus plumped this camera up to appeal to its loyal base. It is like Ford putting a V8 engine into an old Pinto and selling it for $40k. Why bother?
I think the Panasonic G9 or the Fuji XH1 are better bang for you buck! And god they are sexy cameras too👍 about $1100
For a 1000USD less, Id buy it ... even if it's m4/3 ...impressive, but too expensive ...
Let's talk about what micro four thirds is - noisy low light performance, limited bokeh, limited resolution (high-res mode can't handle motion and makes you wait forever)...
:-)
This channel is not the same without CHRIS. I think there is NO reason stay SUBSCRIBED....😪
I'll check out DPreview. He is there👍
Just make a full frame already....Cmon Olympus
These sponsored photographers will trick people to buy this camera. Small sensor, high price tag, nothing is better than the A7iii which is better in every way.
People can and will make up their own minds based on the pros and cons of anything that is reviewed. Yes, we had help getting up to the North with some sponsors from the Yukon. But, that does not impact our impressions of a camera.
This camera is not meeting what it is designed for. I shoot sports and it’s a constant struggle with poor lighting indoors and outdoors. Most high school college games are scheduled in the evening and the poor high iso is the problem. This camera is DOA for me bc of that reason. I hope you guys went in deeper with the af performance. I know you guys are reviewing for a camera store and it’s looking more like it. I think you guys really have to deal with the negatives to be a review channel. Love your work but please review for us, not the manufacturers.
I've watched other reviews which went more into low light performance on this camera. Noise is what it is, m43 has never done great there, but auto focus was working really well even in very poor light, so it's not a total loss.
For the money that thing costs I'd like to see a full frame sensor in a smaller body. And I still wouldn't buy it. I already have a Sony A7. And I paid less than a thousand euros for it, used.
such a small crap sensor in a giant camera wtf is the point rofl why would anyone buy this over like for example a fuji xt3 or a sony a7iii
Do you really understand what´s the benefit of this system? I am not sure. Do you are a professional shooter? No, i can´t imagine. With this camera you get the shot. Under nearly every condition. And without light you don't impressive anybody with your fotos. With the M1 you can pre capture 0,5 sec. or 38 pictures. You can carry the system, esp. up to 600 or 800 mm. You have enough batterie and weather sealing and it works at low temperature. Little bit more DoF is nice`somtimes, more bokeh too, but when you don´t have your camera working or you are too late with pressing the button? Or your personal condition is limited?
This is a medium format camera with a sensor that was washed too hot by Mama Olympus.
Olympus seems not understand the reality of the market ! No 4K at 60fps, no 10bits and the price 3.000 $. Another error Olympus😖🤬🤯🤮
I think the Panasonic G9 or the Fuji XH1 are better bang for you buck! And god they are sexy cameras too👍 about $1100
Probably because this camera isn't geared toward video capture at all. The large body cameras like these usually aren't the camera that film guys are looking to attach to their rigs. So, wait for the Em1_II successor for features like that.
Seems like it would be a serious product photography camera. If it's big numbers you want to see, think about the pay checks you could get using this for such things.
It is targeted at the Nikon D5 and Canon 1DX markets. These cameras are even worse for video.
I think it has the power so 4K 60 might just be a firmware upgrade away
only the grip good about it, and better focus and IS improved as well, but overall, not worth.... i still want a em1 mk 2 but only have money for em10 mk3 so im gonna get the second one, i cant see this new one much better in video recording, not at all..
