Pros: Tropicalization, ergonomics, buttons, responsiveness.

Cons: Holding at high ISO not comparable to om1 as well as af and total file quality. But still a valid machine.

Opinion: I use it as a forklift... As I use it to date, I do not complain about anything. The machine is very performing, the batteries last a long time and once understood .. As I always say, we can bring out the best in her. The viewfinder is not the best as we are used to today with the top range but it still does its job. The buttons and dials are outstanding. The file is very good, stabilization amazing. If I compare it to om1 is a couple of steps below... But this does not mean that it is a machine to be discarded, on the contrary. In my opinion up to 12,800 it is possible to pull out good photographs. With the artificial intelligence of Camera RAW we can in my opinion save many situations but also because the detail of the image remains. I'm not for the heavy and extreme post. But only improvements on noise. Or a style to create an image with an artistic signature. So I find the help of AI sensible. I would like to first make a definitive review, try it again for some time and then ... I will extend my experience hoping it will be of help to those concerned.

Pros: Ergonomics

Cons: Autofocus

Opinion: It's a camera in its own right... it was before and it is even now after the release of the OM-1. The ergonomics, the handle, the keys and the robustness remain the reference point and are missing from all the other olympus... For the rest the advantages are few, compared to the Marki offers a better jpeg and keeps the other lights in better range, and also has the recognition of the subjects (which however is quite "immature" and usable only in "easy" situations) Apart from this the autofocus is the same as the Marki, the identical operating speed, iso dynamic range hold practically the same (the markiii is cleaner and a wire less noisy, the X recovers the highlights better for 2/3 stop). The viewfinder is good, like that of the Markiii but larger, but unfortunately when you try the OM-1, the viewfinder of the X appears obsolete, very slow and jerky .... Like all other micro 4/3, until the output of the OM-1, the autofocus does not shine.... As long as the conditions are favorable and "easy" it's fine, but when the going gets tough the percentage of shots in focus drops.... With about 1200 euros but even less you find bodies as new, in that case it can be a great deal, otherwise for me it is no longer worth it ... In fact I kept the markiii, which offers identical performance but at half weight, and I replaced the X with the OM1.

Pros: Everything everything!!! Ergonomics at the top, excellent stabilization, tropicalized practically indestructible, light, file quality, very fast, held even at high iso, coupled with worthy lenses and a good flash gives emotions! OLYMPUS a guarantee...

Cons: I don't really know it's so perfect that... maybe to be fussy AF stay absent for the time being we hope in the next updates!

Opinion: Owner of the brand for many years also in analog and I can confirm its reliability. I have also had Leica and Pentax FF systems and many others in the past but the security that Olympus offers is unparalleled! He always manages not to disappoint expectations, making mistakes is practically impossible. This EM1X is the culmination of a dream of the house and at the moment none like her! Lightning for sporty and bird photos, quiet and discreet in the street (it certainly does not go unnoticed given the size). For astro photography it is in itself perfect although for now they have not implemented AF stars like younger sister EM1 mk3 (we hope in the next updates). The track feature blows you away is absurd! The magnesium alloy body is tropicalized and has gaskets ing everything where, where the other machines stop this one from the best of itself is a professional VERA! Stabilization allows you to lower iso and times and the final result will amaze you, not to be believed. Shoot at high resolution 50mpx freehand and 80mpx with the easel not to believe, a plus that not all houses offer. The file and its quality is indisputable. The jpeg that churns out is already perfect in itself, then if you want more there is always raw and post-production. The only drawback if we want to be picky is the viewfinder not really at the height of the machine body you could do better here... but it is an inetietic just to want to be picky! In conclusion, if you are looking for an indestructible machine body without sacrificing ergonomics and weight with file quality that has nothing to envy to FF, in fact, this is the one for you! Try to believe... thank you Olympus!!!

Pros: Construction, ergonomics, reliability, innovative features, IQ

Cons: not for everyone

Opinion: The OM-D E-M1X is a true professional, the first true uncompromising professional in the Micro43 world. It is a machine for those who want the best from this system and do not need to relax from their professional micro kit. ergonomics is fantastic, a glove in hand; even after hours and hours of use. The viewfinder is excellent, the best on the series and also compared to the direct competition: although I become "only" 2 million pixels the quality and fluidity and size make it perfect even for intensive and prolonged use. The file is the most beautiful and full-bodied in the OMD series and is the best IQ in the system. AF, speed, reliability and top of the category. at the current promotional market price is a real bargain for those looking for the best of the Micro43 world, and not only that, honestly.

Pros: Ergonomics at the top, excellent build quality, excellent autofocus, extremely customizable, great battery life, super stabilization.

Cons: Expensive (but falling in price), sights not on par with competitors.

Opinion: I've owned this ML of Olympus house for about a month, what about... I find it a fantastic car far superior to its younger sister EM1 mark II. Many have called it "big" and "heavy" for the M4/3 system, it may be true, but it should be remembered that it is a machine designed for the professional who uses it with heavy optics such as the 300f4 for example or with the 40-150 2.8 Pro. It fits perfectly in your hand and never tires your grip, the ergonomic look has been studied in a maniacal way, all the controls are there, where you would like them! The buttons are recognizable to the touch because they are shaped each one differently. The build quality is at the top really granite and weather-proof, the autofocus is very fast, precise and never loses the subject in motion and moreover is totally customizable. Thanks to the built-in grip, it allows you to accommodate 2 batteries, so that the lifespan in terms of range is excellent, comparable to that of a classic DSLR. The stabilizer reaches an even higher level, guaranteeing as much as 7.5 stops with IS optics. Let us come to the cons now, although the wider scope has remained that of the M1II in terms of resolution, which, on such a machine should not exist given the fact that the competition here has done much better with crosshairs with almost double resolutions ( Panasonic S1), however, remains a good lens but not worthy of a car of this category. The cost. The cost still penalizes this fantastic ML (price at launch 3000) decidedly high, although lately you can bring home new at 2000 a figure decidedly more reasonable and in line with what is also offered in relation to the competition. In conclusion, this camera is really the best that Olympus has ever made! It is not for everyone, absolutely it is a machine designed exclusively for a professional user that requires uncompromising performance, a machine that is difficult to exploit 100% certainly not suitable for beginners or amateurs who seek compactness and compactness lightness while remaining more compact and lighter than the Canikon top range reflexes. I am extremely satisfied with this little monster that I absolutely recommend to those who make photography a professional sector without compromise.

Pros: Stabilizer, high freehand res shot, light composite, auto focus braketing, autofocus

Cons: Non-excellent optical sight, iso seal, sensor, absurd price

Opinion: I'm a full frame owner, nikon d3s to be exact. I wanted to try to support a mirrorless to take advantage of the versatility and the advantages of seeing immediately from the lens phase the result of what you are going to shoot. The oly om d em1x has been presented as a worthy challenger of the top full frame range... based on my experience and my opinion totally to be taken as subjective, they were better not to make comparisons and to fly low. The electronics on board for charity, it is sensational because the stabilization is great, and has many useful and comfortable functions. The problem is in my opinion the optical sight that I consider much lower than the nikon z6 that I just took, and this also affects the use of peaking. The other mega problem is the sensor; now it is an outdated sensor, from what I saw having it before the em1x the sensor of the market ii seemed better.... but the iso seal is not at the height of a d3s with which you work clean up to iso 6400-8000....il 4/3 format then it is a strange format especially for those who are used to 16/9 ...and then the bokeh is almost absent when compared to a ff. For goodness sake, all known things, but here, having in pairs a ff and a m4/3 I took little to give away everything and next to the d3s a nikon z6 of which I am totally satisfied. So in my opinion em1x overestimated and disappointing.

Pros: Real-time Ergonomics, Fast AF, Hy-res free hand overtime, integrated ND Filter, all commands in the right place, stabilization

Cons: At the moment no one

Opinion: I Agree with the oppinione of David before criticizing it must at least try it but not for some shots well you for a long time. I grim really fantastic having had the sister M1-II The best there have been especially with the focus even on dynamic subjects Maybe The only thing I did not like AF tracking for the Aeri mode and trains maybe because I practice for the 99% photo Naturalistic but as I understand by Gianni Trevisani there will be updates on those who practice photographic hunting. In the last thing try it to believe

Pros: Lots of stuff, practical, agile, powerful, professional, fast, robust,

Cons: For now I have not found... (For now and I hope not to find them)

Opinion: Very professional machine also in the form and size, who looks in the oly mirror the small, has the wrong direction, here we have a remarkable machine, I come from 11 years of Nikon FF SLR with super kits, nothing off to Nikon for what he gave me, but Returned to Oly (I started with the E300) I am happy with the choice. Who takes this machine and then criticize it is better to leave it right away, who instead is what he takes works quietly. Obviously it is an M4/3 but of all respect in the files, in the optics and in the machines, the versatility it offers is unique... All cameras have a pro and a cons... Today this machine with the credits it has is a great machine. Council not to stumble upon what I mentioned, to try it before buying it, then.... If you are accustomed with canon or Nikon forget the menu of the aforementioned, this is a very complete and different menu, with fewer subfolders and widely exposed, therefore it is at the sight of all. If it seems complex do not rush and you will notice that it is better. also files.. Remember well that if a FF in post magnified it to 100% and you have a result, in 4/3 if magnified to 100% is really magnified to 200% because you have to consider the multiplication factor even in the display during the post. Attention. I agree with Nike further reviews coming soon....

Pros: Always compact dimensions, stabilization, stunning JPEG files, Olympus colors, excellent AF speed and precision

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: It ' a month that I own this machine and I must say that every time I use it always amazes me with real files and colors always at the top, a precise and fast AF, usable up to 6400 ISO without many problems, a portability always at the top with a handle that fits you com And a glove, take pictures in high-resolution freehand from RAW from 50 mega, sensor always clean and with a stabilization from 7.5 stop you can make images with really unthinkable times, an integrated filter ND that also a pleasure without having the usual problems of mounting Re filters on the lenses, with the two processors has an impressive execution speed, this E-M1X wants used for a while then you realize its real quality, for me Olympus to made another quality leap, and its money is worth them all.

Pros: Body size and weight, speed, sensor size

Cons: Sensor size

Opinion: I tried for 10 days on field This new flagship of Casa Olumpus, I also made a review on my YouTube channel, is a camera body made by photographers for photographers, is a model that you want to place between the BIG but only for a very specific audience , which seeks certain characteristics and knows the actual limits of the Micro 4/3 sensor.

Pros: Compactness-stabilization always at the top, in my opinion Olympus is leader-high resolution decidedly improved

Cons: Quality in extreme situations, high ISO still high seas, overpriced price.

Opinion: I can not express myself at best, but still proved today in a demonstration, it seemed excellent from an ergonomic point of view but it was also before, I left Olympus two years ago and already with the OMD EM1 Mark II The ergonomics was already at the top, so from the aesthetic point of view there It is little to admire, I would have expected a more appealing look, (clearly personal opinion). I was always a big fan of Olympus but from the shots made today I could ascertain that the high ISO quality remains a sore point, even if it is normal given the small size of the sensor, up to 1600 ISO quality is satisfactory and I emphasize satisfactory , then the file degrades and the quality drops almost irreparably, however the knead file is low dynamic range, since the product is aimed at an audience that makes the nature and sports photos the kind of primary importance, we are not, who works in These sectors know perfectly what it means to shoot when the light does not allow you and therefore you are obliged to raise the sensitivity. Certainly ten years ago, when Olympus made its debut with the WD EM5 there was a kind of revolution, I sold all my Canon material to move to Microquattroterzi, and I must say that all these years, then passing from the OMD EM5 Mark II to the OMD EM1 and Then at MARK II, I enjoyed a world, little weight and so much quality. Unfortunately it is when you use in extreme situations that Olympus must give way to the larger sensors, currently working with Canon, Sony, and Fuji, and I could no longer go back, the quality is excellent, and in extreme situations work quietly especially with Canon and Sony at 6400 ISO sometimes as in the case of Canon EOS 1DX MARK II I pulled up to 16,000 ISO photographing the Palio of Siena at 9.00 in the evening, thing impossible for Olympus, also if ten years ago one of the strengths was the practicality today was overtopped by Sony and From Fuji, cameras that are equivalent to weights, for example with Sony Alpha 9 + 100-400 We are around the 2 kg grip included, ditto with Fuji with XT3 and 100-400, but unlike we do not forget that the sensors are larger. In The last thing that I was most disappointed was the price, 3000 euros are an exaggerated amount, there you can ' buy almost a Sony Alpha 9 top camera in all respects and full frame, and anyway a Fuji XT3 that I consider a crazy camera in my Even more performanc for speed, for example in cropping mode you go from 26 to 16 mega but reaching 30 frames per second, and it costs about a third. That said I do not want to denigrate the qualities of this new product Olympus that I do not know in its entirety, surely will find in the already owners of the brand of safe buyers, but personally I was hoping for something really new and revolutionary that I It would have encouraged to return owner of one of the brands that I have always loved, so it was not, patience, Olympus remains a strong compromise with interesting qualities but also huge problems that today you can no longer afford because the market has changed a lot and Brands like Sony & Fuji make it and will be the master for many years to come.
