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.
