Can we forgive the E-M1 for its flaws? You betcha! Just as with the E-M5, the interface curiosities simply aren't sufficiently annoying to detract from the overall experience of the E-M1 which is, quite simply, a hugely enjoyable and rewarding one.It's a ...
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 takes over as the flagship camera for Olympus. It's a Micro Four Thirds-based camera with a stack of features that's aimed at those of you who want more of a 'pro' feel from a compact system camera. We love it...
Small camera body, Plenty of direct controls, Excellent EVF, High quality images, Weather sealed
LCD not variangle, Some features hard to find, High price

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...
