I really really look forward to your reviews. You guys rock!
I really appreciate this kind of review that is also a documentary. It's so different I love it 😉
Very good review. Thank you for showing how all the features work and not just talking about their existence.
Great video review. Fun to watch, great job.
Thx for the good review. A lot better than others who are just talking about the camera.
Thanks for giving a quick insight into this camera.
So much in it to like, doubt I'll live long enough to learn how to do it all!
May well try though.
Nice unbiased review.
Very nice video !!!!
i love these vids
Is there a new ZUIKO lens 50-140 or is the well known 40-150?
But does the high res mode produce artefacts on moving subjects, a well known problem with the high res mode on previous OLYMPUS M43 cameras?
Please, what's abut evf viewfinder not oled? thank's
I have seen many videos on TH-cam regarding this camera in all the pictures l’ve seen taken by the camera it seems the pictures lacks sharpness. Is that because of the 20 Megapixel
Ok, just confirmed that this is the same Amy from Park Cameras haha I was like....why does she look so familiar?? Thanks for the video!
Looking at this 2 years later is a reminder of what this camera can actually do! I use it daily, but I sure don’t scratch the surface of its capabilities..
Thank you.
HI! I love your Video! I saw many videos now but NO ONE talkes about the tilt/shift mode! Now you got my abo girl!
Best regards from austria (the land with NO kangaroos) ;-) WOLF
hi im in market for a wildlife setup currently have the nikon z7 with 24-200 lens did have sugma conteporary version nikon 150-600 didnt work out weight wise so then hired 500 mm pf was great but didnt get me close enough had to crop so pixelated, so looking at either nikon z mount when they release or keep current setup for landscape, macro, architecture, long ecposure etc and get second body lens for wildlife looking at the olympus em1x with either the 300mm prime 100-300 or a zoom lens or lumix g9 be great if could get your opinion also im going be on episode of winterwatch too end of january
Would have been nice to tell if the kite shots were actually in focus and pin sharp !
Great review. I’m curious, if you were going to shoot sports and had the choice of picking up a Mark II for $410, a Mark III for $700 or an X for $710, which would you opt for?
Wex. Does the Olympus OM-D E-M1X have full functonality with Lumx MFT lenses. I am thinking of the 50-200 zoom, the 200 telephoto and the 100-400 zoom. Thanks.
yes it does
@@dalefischer6156 does the dual or sync IS works on EM1X with Pana lens with OIS?
Hi, does the EM1x save the ND shots, and the hi res shots as RAW files as well as JPEG's? My EM5ii only saves hi res as JPEG's which is annoying. Thanks, very informative video.
Em5ii does 3 images in high res. Jpeg at standard res, 40mpx jpeg and 64mpx raw. Check your settings 👊
@@novakmiler7944 Thanks Novak, I'll look again. It was an Olympus rep that told me it was jpeg only!
@@barryedwards401 no worries! It's one of the main reasons I bought the em5ii 😊
What camera is used for filming this video ? is it shot with OM-D E-M1X |
Really ? ...
I need to try that custom AF shape on flying birds. Thanks for showing that.
excellent video!...I would love to own the camera. I have a Nikon full frame plus an Oly EM-1, I find it generally difficult to tell the difference between them.
I’ve shot and owned most Nikon full-frame cameras. Once you get over the fad of blurring everything in the background you find that m4/3 is better in many areas. First, the m4/3 system is significantly cheaper, smaller, and lighter than many full-frame systems. This is especially true when you start talking about super-telephoto lenses or ultra-fast f/1.2 and f/0.95 primes. Second, often times you want context in your image or to tell a story, so blowing away the entire background is ill-advised.
Next, let’s look at the benefits of using a smaller sensor: faster FPS, better IBIS, and greater DOF. Not much needs to be said about the first two while the last warrants further discussion. It is not uncommon when shooting full-frame, wide-open to need a greater DOF. You achieve that by stopping down. However, you now get less blur in the background and lose 1-2 stops of light-gathering. If you shoot in a dark environment you then need to bump your ISO which results in the loss of dynamic range. What about m4/3? Well, you can often shoot ultra-fast primes wide-open while reaching a greater DOF. This eliminates the need to stop down and the need for raising the ISO is partially compensated by enhanced IBIS.
So when does full-frame have an advantage? I can think of only two scenarios. First, when shooting on the lowest ISO, on a tripod, to achieve the greatest dynamic range (landscapes). The price you pay for the improved image quality is heavy gear, expensive lenses, and aching back. Second, when you’re shooting wide-open, at super-high ISO (indoor action/sports). In this case the full-frame larger sensor pulls ahead in terms of noise, even though from the samples Olympus noise looks very clean and uniform but definitely more noisy than FF. For everything else: portrait, travel, landscape (if you value your back), macro, birds, wildlife, etc, by using m4/3 you benefit for a lighter and smaller setup that gives you 2x the reach at 1/2 the cost.
Very nice bird shots! This looks like a serious piece of photo equipment. It's funny how people seem to either love or hate this camera. The critics are in my opinion going in the wrong direction as it pertains to gear. Why would anyone want to go with FF and the huge lenses that come with that format? This camera obviously does a lot of things better that the FF gear in a much smaller package. Add to that the hand held hi rez mode and the only thing you have left to argue about is bias and stubbornness.
Thanks for sharing this. You do need to teach Chris @ DP Review how to use the AF!
Top nuthatch shots!
Hello,Amy !
Excellent ,Incredible....VIDEO !
EL TAMAÑO...SI.....IMPORTA !
But.....I HAVE NOT .....POCKET IT .....ON MY TROUSERS !
GREATTTTTTTTTTYYYY !
Saludos Cordiales desde Móstoles,Madrid,España !

powerful camera
With used prices down to $750 usd is this camera a bargain or outdated?
Bargain!
👍👍👍
Ross on Wye? I'm surprised you didn't come across Richard Hammond crashing on his way to work.
With the kites can you compare the stills focus accuracy compared to other major brands (probably Panasonic and Sony as the obvious competitors). That would be useful to know. I believe 3 grand is too much for me to move from my G9, but I will try one out once they start appearing in stores. The old sensor and no 60fps 4K means it would need something incredible to sway me to part with the cost of this giant m43. I do actually enjoy the m43 format (unlike many in the comments), but if they want to stay relevant they need to push forward with innovations on all fronts to keep them selling (in my opinion). This was, in my view, a half completed upgrade. If they had plumbed in a new sensor then maybe I could have been swayed, but approx doubling their flagship costs is a lot to take in. Most expect a £4-500 increase between models. I hope Panasonic do not follow the same course, what I'd prefer is a g9 successor with improved sensor, better IS, more computational aspects, 6K video and much better video autofocus (no one I know uses video autofocus on their Lumix cameras).
Was the video colour graded....It looked exremely flat to me !
Hi Mozem,
It was graded, however, this is probably over-saturated compared to what the light was like when we were there. I don't think I've ever shot in such dull conditions for a full three days! Thanks for watching - AM
Peregrine Falcons?
I wanted to love it but no 4k 60fps and an EVF on par with my G80 isn't going to stop me getting that G9 I think!
The G9 is an amazing camera for both stills and video you won't be dissapointed
What Olympus does today, others do tomorrow :)
to commit suicide?
@@FantasticPyroclastic you watch too much in the conspiracy channel?
@@user-xn2iu6yg9j i love to browse Rothschildtube.il !
@@FantasticPyroclastic fuck off, fucktard
Thanks for the review Amy; you covered some interesting features. The E-M1X has some outstanding processing power; however, I can’t help but be extremely disappointed that the sensor is exactly the same as the E-M1 MKII. Without a new more advanced sensor, this camera is seriously under-cooked! Olympus make some amazingly good lenses and for now I’ll continue to use them on my GH5 and G9. If I start to crave for greater image quality then I shall hang out for the new Panasonic S1R to see how that stacks up.
Undercooked? Two processors, two batteries, best IBIS in the world, fast FPS shooting, and numerous other features. Let’s not forget it costs 3k compared to the 6k+ competition.
What better sensor? Better resolution ? Get a microscope
Nice camera but way too expensive for me!
It isn't small is it.
Hi Karl,
It isn't the smallest... However, it does balance the weight of the Pro lenses nicely and having the ability to run two cards and two batteries at all times is great. Thanks for watching - AM
it is ~1KG... heavier than D850 and at this time more expensive
It has so much potential but unfortunately the size and price deters many people from buying it.
No it won't. Just pretend your getting value for money, sharpness and DOF doesn't matter and your winning 🥇
Good attempt at making this camera sound interesting it’s just a shame that the camera is not as good as the video. Compared to the competition and for the same price this camera does not compete.
Full frame?
M43
Hi Nintendo Addict,
The E-M1X has a 20.4MP Micro Four Thirds sensor. If you need anymore information on the specs our blog or our product page online should have everything you need to know. Thanks for watching - AM

Yes! It's a FULL FRAME m43 camera. Do not confuse it with a full frame Digital 35mm.
I thought this lady worked for Park Cameras!
She works for Olympus now🤣this was a terrible ad.
Sony vs Olympus = biggest sensor in smallest body vs smallest sensor in biggest body
I'd say both achievements deserve credit in their own rights
I can see the camera being good for fast animals - but I would never go out and shoot landscapes with this camera. My Sigma Quattro H does this job perfectly, gets out four times the amount of colors and color depth as well as highlights and shadow information. At this price point, I wonder why people would not rather buy the Sony A7III or even the R model for high res. As a professional photographer I like to be in control - I am a fan of Olympus features but it looks like the camera is made for professional morons - why use a software nd filter? - I can see the handheld high res in low light - but heck it has limitations if the scene is moving, and you end up with a huge file with not much shadow and highlight recovery. It feels like we are shooting tanks with pistols. I can see the Olympus cameras as travel and spontaneous cameras but once you had some results with the "big baller" cameras it's hard to look at. And yes I am an E-M1 Mark II owner so I know exactly what quality the results have - it has the same image sensor as this "new" huge brother.
3k for the already dated em1 mkii and a battery grip.
I had the EM-1 and the EM-1 mk II and had to sell them both when the Sony A7iii came out that camera just blow them away. Low light with the Olympus was terrible and this camera comes with the same senor as the EM-1 mk II. Who is going to buy this, at this price point and Olympus fast lenses are so expensive. Full frame today is getting a lot cheaper.
Amy if you had £3000.00 would you buy this camera
Amateur talk. Enjoy your Sony.
Sounds like you got some personal issues to work out.
Me too Stephen, I traded my EM1 II in for an A7Riii, it was a great camera but ultimately had poor low light performance and was not great for landscape photography. The A7Rii was about the same size and only about 100 grams heavier. Olympus need to recognise that the advantages of using M4/3 are rapidly disappearing, and need to follow Panasonics lead in developing a full frame alternative.
If MFT is dropped, I might drop out of photography. FF system is to heavy, and to big. If you want to go full frame you will aways have to carry a big camera bag if you want to bring 2 or 3 fast lenses. with MFT I can fit them in my jackets pocket when I am out there hiking. System size matters more than anything! In my opinion Olympus is totally right with their approach. But I am afraid those crazy full frame heavy lifters will kill it.
Mathias, there are plenty of APS-C options that will give you the size and weight savings. @@marowse
Hi res mode creates JPG no Hi-res RAW??? this is SCAM
It creates 80mp RAWs.
the Raw codecs weren't released when the video was made. 80mp raw files done in camera.
LOL. 4/3rds.
Too expensive, I’ll stick with my Fuji XT3
Save your money for a decent photography course.... seems you need that more
Nice commercial for Olympus. Ask yourself $3k for this or $2k for the Sony A7III 🤣 No brainer...
Add expensive, heavy full-frame lenses. Add a poor lens selection. Yep. No brainer.
@@mzbarsk look at size of the small m34 tank... If your a 90lb weakling you'll be hard pressed to pick up this body. The cost vs benefit ratio is just mind boggling 3k for this terrible old sensor. You can buy 3 A6300 for the cost this nonsensical low light struggling thing... It's a joke and I'm sure when all the comparisons are done they will slay this steam punk junk. Lols for days right here. The only positive reviews will be from the paid shills, fan boys and company endorsed shooters. Can't wait to see them 😂 🤣
atomikmaster1 If your only need is to shoot low light, action sports then certainly full-frame would be a better choice. For everything else I am not so sure. Travel, landscape, on-location portraiture all benefit from using a smaller kit. Add to that ultra-fast primes that don’t cost the price of a car and m4/3 is a solid choice. Again, blowing away the background gets old quick as all the images start to look the same. Adding context with a mild separation can easily be done with m4/3.
@@mzbarsk If your only purpose is to save weight go APS-C better in every way. Better sensor better low light better AF better weight saving better lens choice better price more shooting options. I'm getting rsi from typing...as for blurring the back ground I'd rather be able to then not have the option or to do a crap job for 3k body... Need I go on...
atomikmaster1 First, APS-C kits are so-so. Many of them are stripped down FF bodies with a smaller lens selection than FF. They are also not significantly smaller than FF kits. In other words you are not really getting the benefits of a small kit offered by m4/3, so you might as well go with FF.
As far as blurring goes you can certainly do that with m4/3 just not to the extent of FF. Controlling the DOF is done with aperture, camera to subject distance, subject to background distance. For aperture Olympus offers plenty of ultra-fast primes and the other aspects are just a matter skill and know-how. In my experience I rarely want to completely blow out the background as you lose context and storytelling. I also find that those who rely heavily on blurring backgrounds use that as a crutch to compensate for poor composition and isolation.
In short every camera is a tool with advantages and disadvantages. Medium and large format cameras have a larger sensor with an even greater dynamic range than FF. Does that make them superior? Does that make FF a crop-frame in comparison? No, it just means every camera is suited for different needs.
The minuscule sensor cause very bad subject separation. wildlife pics gonna look horrendous when subject blended with background. this camera is for nobody.
I have used the OMD mk11 for wildlife (0n loan), And the separation as you call it was only a issue on about 20% of my shots, I have shot with a nikon 600 f4 and a 500 f4 so am very apt in the use of high end glass, I found the MK 11 and 300 f4 combo to be very good, So to say The M1X is for for nobody is interesting . it is for sports and wildlife photographers looking for a lightweight alternative to big glass on tripod scenarios,But still require high quality images ,I am seriously considering this combo as an alternative to my Nikon gear , But only for the tele end , And still plan to use my FF for landscape .
I wonder what this overpriced 'Klotz' of a camera with that 3 year old tiny sensor and processor has over a full frame (or even an APSC chip) mirrorless camera which is smaller, lighter, cheaper and better in various ways. A few gimmicky focus settings (if You can find them in that confusing menu system) and an ambiguous 'hi res' setting would not sway me towards this ill conceived brick of a camera. There are other fast cameras around which I think are better value. Olympus makes good cameras and lenses but this one looks like a desperate attempt to keep the dying m4/3 system alive. Even Panasonic bailed out and started afresh. There is no new m3/4 sensor tech in sight. The Hi Res.shot You took is blurred and looks terrible but claiming it has a lot more detail that the standard shot. You are bullshitting here big time. I stopped watching right there.
philistine.
Thank you.
