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...
Abstract: Cameras Technology News Digital Life News DateOctober 10, 2013 reading now (4) Read later The 16-megapixel E-M1 is the company's top micro four-thirds camera. It has a 2.36-megapixel electronic viewfinder, dual contrast and phase detectio...
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...
Substantial hand grip. In-camera processing options like HDR and colour control are very effective. Focus peaking. Very sharp images straight out of camera. Incredibly rugged design
Fidgety autofocus in low light. Locking mode dial takes some getting used to. Only 30fps in video mode
Even though it is a serious camera for enthusiast photographers, the OM-D E-M1 nevertheless brings a lot of fun to the imaging experience....
Great design and weight; Two megapixel viewfinder is very clear; Supports WiFi and wireless shooting with smartphone app; Smartphone camera application can show images building in real time; Lock button for keeping shooting mode selected; Lots of buttons;
While we like the amount of buttons, this number may confuse people; Screen only pops out at various angles, as per normal with other Olympus cameras; No built-in flash; Colour filtration modes only officially apply to JPEG, and while can be used with mov
I love cameras. Always have, always will, and even though my career path led me to journalism, there is a soft spot in my heart for things with viewfinders, focus rings, and a heavy reliance on optics.Up until a couple of years ago, I carried my big bulky...
With its promises of improved performance and functionality, the OM-D E-M1 will be a welcome addition to Olympus's offerings when it goes on sale next month. The new camera certainly has plenty to excite photo enthusiasts and it's good to see the same bat...

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 is perfect if you want a camera that will allow you to very easily take complete control over exposure settings. It has a great array of controls and intuitive new features that we found to be useful. Coupled with...
