A Compact Review of the Olympus OM-D E-M1

What happened when Jon from our in-store team trialled the Olympus OM-D E-M1…

“If there was one micro 4/3 camera I would leave my DSLR for it would be an Olympus E-M1.
The choice of custom functions are fantastic, it is very easy to use and is a nice step down from size. Not too fiddly to hold. I love it’s more classic look”

The OM-D E-M1 is a compact system camera which will capture 16.3 megapixel photos and record HD video with its LiveMOS Sensor.

An excellent micro four thirds camera that rivals a DSLR when shooting in both RAW & JPG format.
The in-camera image stabilisation mechanism is first-rate and will help you to reduce blur in your photos in low light and when zooming.
It is easy to get fantastic photos with this camera even in the fully automatic mode- which is very quick to alter settings to suit the kind of photos you are taking (portrait/landscape/close-up…)
