Great camera, great features. Recommend. I have fuji, Panasonic and now the Olympus. Each is good to have. The Olympus has some nice features and good jpg quality. HDR feature works very well for a lot of scenes, but not all. You will learn when and when not to use that feature. Connection to my cell phone seems to work well and allows editing of images and saving them on the phone. One really nice feature that I don't think my other cameras have is it marks pictures that you already transferred to your phone. So, if I choose some after a shoot, then go back later to look to send some more, I will see exactly which ones were already transferred. Also, sometime when transferring a lot of images, I can only do so many do the email limitations so its nice to see which ones were sent so you do duplicate them. Nice customizable button features some you can access modes quacking and settings. Read full review

Well it may be me. I come from DSLR world. Things are different in mirroless. This particular camera being MFT smallest of crop sensors puts out noisy images in anything over 800 ISO. Menu system is very complex and not intuitive. Battery life nothing to rave about. Got to have several batteries charged and ready to go. Structurally very well made, solid, wather sealed. Image stabilization is beasty, can shoot shutter speed of 1" easily. Cannot change exposure while shooting video. May be newer version of this camera is better, will keep following reviews. Nonetheless, I plan on keeping it for now. When quality of image matters I will still lean on my venerable Nikon D750 and for light weight works will use Nikon D5200. Hope this helps.

I bought this camera as an upgrade from the em-5, and I am glad that I did because of the superior viewfinder, ergonomics, and new features. Though this is a complex camera with an overwhelming amount of customizable options, I found it simple to set up once I purchased Mastering the Olympus OMD EM1 by Darrell Young. My major reason for upgrading was my dissatisfaction with using the heavier Olympus Pro 12-40mm lens with the em-5. The 12-40mm lens feels natural and well-balanced with the em-1 body. The ergonomics are much superior overall. With the em-1, it is easy to make adjustments to camera settings without removing one's eye from the viewfinder. I am still experimenting with the camera and do not know if its IQ is superior to that of the em-5 or not. So far, pictures seem to be of the same quality, though reds come out more pleasing in pictures taken on the em-1. Read full review

I previously owned a Panasonic DMC-G5 and a DMC-GH3. I was reading reviews that this Olympus camera had the best image quality in the Micro Four Thirds world but I was hesitating to move to that one. And this was mainly to the reviews that it was a bit complex to use etc. This camera not only has outstanding image quality, not only has capabilities and adjustments that were not present on the Panasonic models, but IT IS EXTREMELY EASY TO USE WHILE IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY POWERFUL. You have easy and quick access to almost all settings you may need in a week's time! Its size and weight are also ideal! My Panasonics had a bit better grip but this is personal perspective. Olympus grip is also great and "Pro". This camera is highly recommended! With the new lenses announced by Olympus, the lens variety in the MFT world is now even greater!Read full review
Five-Star Olympus OM-D E-M1 Camera Body coupled with many Olympus or Panasonic Micro Four-Third lenses is excellent!! I love the compact size. It's like having a miniature full sized DSLR Mirrorless Camera, Also there are many accessories that you can purchase to make your camera most suitable like a Battery Hand Grip, external electronic flash and more. All compact and LIGHT!! Have a look at the first photo and the second next to my Nikon D700 full frame camera. which would you rather carry on your neck or shoulder? I have included photos from this wonderful mirrorless micro four thirds camera. I would recommend the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Camera to anyone starting out in photography or who is a semi-pro to pro photographer!! Test one out in the series of OM-D Micro Four Thirds Cameras and lenses!! You will be amazed and happy with your photographs!! Read full review
