Olympus held off from releasing any major products at Photokina 2014, but did unveil the OM-D E-M1 in a rather lovely silver finish. The E-M1 is exactly what it sounds like: a silver-colour version of the original black model, but one that also delivers...

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...

The E-M1's weatherproof body is an evolution of its E-M5 sibling's – still teensy but with a fuller grip and even more controls. In fact, it handles much like the E-M5 fitted with just the upper part of the optional battery grip. Sadly for upgraders, the...

Continuous AF can be beaten...
Should E-M5 owners upgrade to an E-M1? Probably not, especially if they've got the optional battery grip. But everyone else should sell every camera they own, plus a body part and any heirlooms knocking about in the loft, and buy the new Olympus' flagsh...

Hang on, you might be saying; whilst the 16.3 effective megapixel OM-D E-M1 may outwardly resemble a DSLR it’s not actually one in the strictest sense, on account of being a mirror-less model. But since Olympus hasn’t released a DSLR proper in years, t...

The 16-megapixel Olympus OM-D E-M1 ($1,400, body only) is the company's latest flagship mirrorless camera. Amazingly it costs even more than one of our favorite higher-resolution DSLRs, the 24-megapixel Nikon D7100 . The E-M1 replaces the Olympus Four Thi...

Much too expensive, Top video quality only 1080/30p, Great images, but not fullframe level...
We don't understand the sometimes over-the-top positive online reaction to this capable but hardly extraordinary mirrorless camera. Yes, it certainly can capture quality stills and good 1080/30p videos. But for $1,400 body only? No way. Although much la...

Happily the E-M1 isn't all style and no substance. It also delivers high quality, correctly exposed images with plenty of detail, good colour and well-controlled noise. The images look natural and sharp and although there is noise visible at relatively l...

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 caused quite a stir when it was unveiled to the public last year. Looking like a digital version of the classic 1970s Olympus OM SLR - with the modern conveniences of a smaller body, LCD screen and electronic viewfinder - the OM-D E-...
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is one of the best micro four thirds-system cameras yet, so if this test makes it look like a serious camera, thats because it is. The rugged-looking magnesium-alloy, weather-sealed body has all the features an enthusiast photograph...

What sorcery is this..? Olympus can do no wrong. Ever since it released the first camera in the newly-minted OM-D line — the EM-5 — it has gone from one perfect camera to the next. The latest work of art to come out of the camera manufacturer is the Olymp...
This is the first mirrorless camera serious enough that a DSLR-less future is conceivable. The images you get out of the E-M1 are so hot it hurts. If you want a camera for serious business in all situations — daylight, low-light and even no-light — then t...

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...

The arrival of the E-M1 has pushed the price of the OM-D E-M5 body down to around $900 (AU or US), which makes it a bargain in the current environment. However, Compact System Cameras are currently a growth category and Olympus has hinted at further devel...
Owners of Olympus OM-D EM-5 bodies will rightly see the E-M1 as a worthwhile upgrade option and/or extension to their existing kit – provided they are happy about its higher price tag. The new camera has just enough improvements entice many stills photogr...

It was only a year and a half ago when Olympus showed that a small, stylish camera with no mirror and a little sensor could hang in the big leagues. Many photographers instantly fell in love with the OM-D E-M5. Now, with the E-M1, nearly every bar has bee...
The OM-D E-M1 is a serious investment, but if you want the experience of a professional camera without the bulk and weight a DSLR, then you should absolutely pick it up. Nothing else offers the same level of ergonomics, customisability and durability thus...

The second of the bigger mirror-less cameras from Olympus, the E-M1 reinvents the an SLR from the 70s with bits of today, making it a standout camera for tomorrow. An update to last year’s entry in the OM-D range of cameras, the E-M1 might be the mod...

While we like the amount of buttons, this number may confuse people; Screen only pops out at various angles, as per normal with other Olympus cameras; No built-in flash; Colour filtration modes only officially apply to JPEG, and while can be used with movies, can't be shut off in these modes;...

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 knocked our socks off when we reviewed it last year, to the point where we wondered if Olympus could do any better. The OM-D E-M1 ($1,399.99 direct, body only) is what the company came up with, and the improvements include a larger...

We were pretty much enamoured with the Olympus E-M5 (quick review) when we tested it in 2012. The E-M1 takes the best from that camera and further ups the game. Here are three things to love about this camera (and a few to hate).1. Dynamite in a small pac...
