Olympus OM-D E-M1X schwarz Body

The Olympus OM-D E-M1X is a high-end mirrorless camera aimed at sports and wildlife pros who demand speed and robustness. It shares the 20 Megapixel Four Thirds sensor of the E-M1 Mark II with its 18fps bursts with AF and 4k video, but is larger and pitched at a higher level with an integrated battery grip, tougher credentials, improved autofocusing and even better stabilisation than before. While the E-M1X is the largest, heaviest and most expensive Micro Four Thirds camera to date, it remains a little smaller than Canon’s EOS 1Dx II and Nikon D5, up to one third lighter and roughly half the price. The Olympus sensor may be smaller than these full-framers leading to inevitably lower quality at very high ISOs, but it allows the E-M1X to use lenses that are smaller and lighter for the same field-of-view (albeit often with a less shallow depth-of-field). The E-M1X also matches their 20 Megapixel resolution but offers faster 18fps burst shooting with AF, built-in image stabilisation good for up to 7.5 stops of compensation, built-in field receivers (tagging images with location, temperature and direction), 4k up to 30p in UHD or C4k formats, the ability to capture moments prior to fully-pushing the shutter release, a larger viewfinder magnification of 0.83x, a fully-articulated touchscreen, dual UHS II card slots, USB charging, and claims of the World’s best weather-sealing. While the rival DSLRs may be lacking in features though, another key rival - Sony’s A9 - is not, and also offers a larger full-frame sensor at a smaller premium. In my review I’ll compare them all closely to help you choose the right pro camera. I’ve started testing a final production sample, so check back soon for my first results!
