Olympus OM-D E-M1 

Top Rated Gear: Used Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Camera Body V MFR: V207010BU000.

The Olympus OMD E-M1 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Camera Body Only is a compact, ergonomically designed camera featuring a 16.3 megapixel Live MOS sensor and TruePic VII image processor to produce high-resolution still imagery and full HD 1080p video with notable low-light quality and high-speed performance. The combination of these two technologies enables a high sensitivity range from ISO 100-25600 and also contributes to a top 1/8000 sec. shutter speed and continuous shooting up to 10 fps. The sensor also lends itself to an enhanced FAST autofocus system that utilizes dual contrast- and on-chip phase-detection focusing methods to quickly and accurately acquire focus with selectable focus areas for even greater precision.Also benefitting image sharpness is in-body 5-axis image stabilization that compensates for vertical, horizontal and rolling camera shake. IS-Auto mode can also be employed, which intelligently detect both vertical and horizontal panning and disengages image stabilization along the detected axes to provide stabilization when photographing moving subjects.Both a high-resolution electronic viewfinder and tilting touchscreen monitor are available for live view monitoring, image playback and menu navigation. The interactive EVF features a 2,360k-dot resolution and 1.48x magnification for comfortable eye-level viewing with the ability to preview image effects in real-time. Alternatively, the 3.0" 1,037k-dot tilting touchscreen LCD monitor can tilt upward 80deg. or downward 50deg. to suit working from high and low angles and its touchscreen design provides an intuitive means for controlling settings and navigating through the menu system. Both of these viewing mechanisms are housed within the ruggedly-designed dust-, splash- and freeze proof magnesium alloy body. A large grip is integrated into the construction to provide a comfortable means for handling the camera and also facilitates more efficient control over a wide range of camera settings. Additionally, the incorporation of an X-sync socket, HDMI port, external microphone jack and hot shoe also add to the E-M1's overall functionality.For refined off-board control and image sharing, built-in wireless connectivity is available and, when paired with the Olympus O.I. Share app for iOS and Android mobile devices, remote sharing and control over the camera is possible. QR Code Connect provides a simple, seamless way of linking mobile devices to the camera and the option of utilizing a Smartphone to embed location data into the image files for geotagging is also supported.

Used Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Camera Body V

I bought this as a compact camera for hiking and travel. Now I find I never use my Nikon D750. The images from the Olympus compare very well with the much larger heavier Nikon. The M1 is now my go to camera

Love this camera!

I chose Olympus OM-D E-M1 over Fujifilm X-T1 although I really like dials placement and functions on X-T1. Olympus is smaller, both camera and lenses, and this was primary decision factor. Dials and buttons are really easy to customize. E-M1 is extremely powerful photography tool and I really enjoy it. Going to buy some prime lenses for it soon.

Powerful photography tool

A great camera! Switched from the 620 to OMD.. and all I can say is OMG! Light weight, a great hand grip to stabilize the already 5 axis camera. It is more than I ever dreamed could be built into a camera. Great fun features like the live composite and time lapse. I am still exploring all of the wonderful features it has, and i have had it for 2 years!

Excellent Micro 4/3 camera

The OM-D E-M1 is a brilliant camera and can be summed up, in my opinion, with a few well chosen words: compact, rugged, capable. Having owned cameras from a number of manufacturers over the years, I keep coming back to Olympus for their lightweight, compact dimensions and rugged reliability. Add to that a flexible, intuitive interface and excellent image quality and you really have a winning package. For me, the OM-D E-M1 has all of that and more. Shooting in Canada’s north country, I routinely carry my equipment over kilometres of trail in temperatures a low as minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius. I have owned four different Olympus digital cameras and have never had a problem with any of them, and the OM-D E-M1 is especially rugged. Its solid build instills confidence, while the micro four-thirds system allows me to carry a full range of lenses without breaking my back. The weight difference between the OM-D E-M1 and a couple of lenses compared to an APS-C unit I also own, is significant. With the E-M1, I can enjoy the hike make great photos and carry extras that I’d have to leave behind with the other system. All in all, I couldn't be happier with this camera and its lens system. Easily a five star product!

A Rugged Camera and a Capable System

Great, rugged photo machine. I have been using this for over 2 years and don't regret switching to the micro 4/3 system. Great for landscapes!

Rugged, compact, powerful

Traded up to this camera after using a APS-C DSLR for many years. I just got tired of lugging around all that weight! For the most part, I have been very happy with the switch. Camera is pretty fast, the lenses are half the size but just as good as their larger friends. I only wish the focus speeds were a bit better, but that was worth the trade off!

A Great Replacement For Larger DSLR's

Having spent most of my adult life using om1's and om1n's and even a trusty om10 (my first slr), I knew I liked the size of that camera. I had my foray into digital photography with a wonderful 4/3 camera with a terrific Leica branded lens. However the size of the OM-D em-1 was very appealing, and the icing on the cake was the Zuiko Pro lenses designed to be used with it. When I saw the f1.8 8mm fisheye lens, I had to have it, and that clinched the em-1 decision! The 7mm-14mm was also a must-have. Needless to say I'm a big wide-angle photo fan. 12-40mm was next on the list, and it was time to study this remarkable, and very complex camera. Well, that's still a work in progress as there are many custom options and many menus to memorize. Much to chew on! Of course a camera is only as good as the lenses put in front of it, and that's where Olympus shines. The quality of the new Pro lenses is palpable, and being dust/moisture-proof is a big plus. And the f1.8 8mm fisheye that drew me in from the get-go? Terrific piece of glass. Olympus deserves an award based on that lens alone. I'll have loads of fun with it. Like an old girlfriend, I'll never stop loving my OM-1n, however this em-1 brings the same emotion into the 21st century for me, and for that, Olympus, I am most grateful. Well done.

Top Notch Quality Camera and Lenses.

Olympus Legacy Quality

After using the E-M10 (which I loved) for 18 months, I switched to the E-M1 because I needed a camera that was splash-proof and freeze-proof. Well, I absolutely adore the E-M1! Even though it’s a bit heavier and bulkier than the E-M10, its size and weight are still very reasonable. The image quality is superb, and it has quite a few nice features (like focus stacking). I am more than satisfied with this camera.

A powerful, high quality camera

I am used em1 more than 2 years old, this is great camera with small and light body. love its

love its

Well built camera with great features for being creative with the shot s I take. Love the EVF, which is one the main reasons I purchased this camera. I have a pl2 which I love for candid shots, but missed a viewfinder.

Great Camera

I recently purchased the E- M1 wanting a second camera to go with my E-M10 Mk II, while they are both great and featured packed the E-M1 is really the top of the line. I can see why it's the choice of professionals. Everything is just a customize-able button away, setup is easy and every condition can be met for any shooting style. My camera came native with firmware 4.1 so it's the latest and greatest just behind the EM1 MKII without the wait or more expense. Quality is top notch as in all Olympus products I've owned The full weather resistance was a key feature to get a second/ third Olympus. I've always been an Olympus user going back to my full size VHS camcorder and 5MP C5050Z. I currently also own the TG-4 so needless to say the Olympus brand has given me everything I wanted and needed in video and still photography. With a new grand daughter on the way I'll have the finest equipment to capture my newest loving addition to my family.

Yes the Flagship

I received my M1 about 10 days and loving the ease of operation and the many controls I have available to me.  The resulting photos are sharp and I have received many compliments on the shots that I have posted on Facebook from my friends and family.  I'm using the 12-40 F2.8 lens and also the 9-18 F4-5.6 lens with this camera and I'm getting specular shots--both wide angle shots and macro shots.  I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a light-weight professional camera.

Loving my new Olympus D-EM1

Camera is excellent. Missing one star due to camera lever failing and CAF+back button focus+RLS priority issues. AF could be better, but works better than anything else in the range for the older 43rds lenses.

Worth the money if you have older 43rds lenses

This is my first true digital camera and I couldn't be happier. There are a lot of features that make the camera outstanding. As a novice this camera gets me up and running in a flash!

Simply Awesome!

Excellent camera. Love the functions and quality. Don't miss my Nikon at all.

Excellent camera

I've been looking at this camera for a month or more, trying to decide whether it was worth investing in a new system. I'm a working pro and shoot a Nikon D3. I love the Nikon and the images I get from it but it is a big, heavy camera. Add the 70-200 f2.8 zoom lens on it and it is a big package. So, I considered the Olympus OM-D, EM-1 and finally took the plunge when the price for the body and lens came down a bit. So, although I've only used the Olympus a couple of times I've been shooting professionally and personally long enough (40-plus years) to recognize how capable a tool it is. Solidly-built, pro features, a quality lens (12-40 f2.8) add up to a great camera. My only qualm, not a complaint mind you, is how small it is. While that is an advantage when you're shooting for several hours, with the 12-40mm lens on it, the camera seems a bit nose-heavy. 
Also, it has a nice, comfortable grip but I have large hands and they swallow the little EM-1. I think that will be solved when I add the Olympus battery pack grip. Then it will handle more like my D3 but will weigh considerably less. Check out the OM-D EM-1, it can produce great images and excellent video. I'm a believer, well-done Olympus.

Great little camera, impressive results and performance

I started out with an OM-10, then went to an OM-1, OM-2n, and finally an OM-4Ti. I fought the switch to digital for years. I finally, reluctantly, decided that I would make the switch. The cost of film and developing has gotten to the point where it is cost prohibitive. Digital photography has also improved a lot over the years. I decided to try the OM-D E-M1 and I could not be happier. I can use all of my old lenses, as well as some new digital ones that I have bought. The pictures this camera produces are only limited by my ability. I am an amateur, and there is a learning curve. I was taking decent pictures within minutes, but it has taken several months to become very comfortable with it. I can see it taking a very long time for me to master it, and I look forward to every minute!

Could not be happier!

one of the best camera i have ever had... weather sealed, gorgeously made Phase detection works very well with those 4/3 lens for the HLD-7 grip, I don't think is needed as the grip on the E-M1 is already very good, as long as you pack a some extra batteries with you, it should last you long enough. However, this is only my personal preference. this is a well balanced camera with quality(image) and size, highly recommended.

Build/Quality/Size

Perfect for what I do. Mainly portraiture and fine art, I needed a lighter camera system that could still pack the punch and power to take beautiful photographs. And this camera does just that. Love the customization options available and the ease of navigating through menu systems. Fast, quiet (even more quite in silent mode!), love this simulated OVF as well as the electronic viewfinder. Personally I am not to fond of electronic viewfinders as they just seem like tiny tv screens, but the om-d em-1 viewfinder doesn't hurt my eyes even with extended use. The only complaint I really have is about the noise at higher ISO levels, it can make photographing inside in low light quite difficult without flash, even with a f/1.8 lens. Other than that though, I take it everywhere with me. Love the micro 4/3 system.

Light system that packs a punch.

I am enjoying using the E-M1 very much. The camera's image stability, compact size, and lenses help to produce great images. Function buttons help to access needed features quickly. These are the features I enjoy: Focus peaking (great for macro), HDR, Bracketing for many camera settings, Touch screen (touch to focus on any point and take picture, Live view is great to see your exposure before the image to taken, Tilt screen, etc. Will produce professional images. Live view is a great help, it even offers depth of field previewing. The auto-focus is very good and quick, but the type of auto-focus being used works best in good light and is not optimal for fast moving objects like birds in flight. Most of the published reviews of this camera point this out. I moved from a Canon 60D to the E-M1 for birding, so I miss the better in flight auto-focus. But the other features of the camera outway this. Because of the built-in image stability and the 2x crop factor I can now work with a 600mm lens with IS for one fourth of the cost of Canon. With lenses with IS it can produce a 6x stop increase! If anyone complains about this camera it would appear they did not research their purchase. There is no camera that does everything for this price. The E-M1 did what I needed and did it well.

Fits my needs very well

The OMD EM-1: There is no substitute! I've enjoyed all my Olympus analog and digital cameras, but this one takes the cake. You'll know you've picked a winner the moment you hold it in your hands: it feels solid and fits like a glove. Highly recommended without reservation (Irresponsible, overly emotional reviews by the odd outlier angry customer notwithstanding). Check out the overwhelmingly positive professional reviews.

Superb camera. Fantastic customer support and free, valuable software upgrades.

I originally purchased the E-M1 because of the great reviews and it had much of the manual custom features I was looking for. I liked the whole MFT lens ecosystem. However it turns out that Olympus has very poor quality, and they can't seem to fix their products when sent in for repair. Instead they will send you back a camera three times with the same issue. And then tell you it's not their problem. This is the fourth olympus camera that I've owned over the past 20 years. Three digital and one film. All the digitals have had some sort of issue, either from the factory or soon after the warrantee expired. I'm not rough on my equipment. Most of it looks brand new, even after 3-4 years. On this last one (EM-1) I even purchased an extended warrantee just in case. But now I have broken camera that has been attempted to be fixed 3 times. Pure junk. I have now learned my lesson. I'm going back to a quality camera company that cares about their customers.

Don't waste your money with Olympus...no quality control and does not care about their customers

This is a great camera if you are not professional. If you do mainly sports or other action type work you are better off with some thing from Nikon or Canon. The auto focus is good but the continuous auto focus seems not to work (well). The biggest gripe I have with this camera is the buffering that happens when shooting in high rate after about 20 consecutive shots the camera with freeze, or pause between photos, really aggravating when you want to go all out for a 5 second action shot something a film camera can do FILM or even my iphone. Admittedly this is getting better with each firmware update but still, just shy of whats needs to play with the top dogs or be a flagship model. I am some what taken aback that olympus make the claim that they are putting "Hollywood in your hands". I live and work in Hollywood and can tell you that no this camera does not. Hollywood is 4k something this camera can't handle or Olympus is unwilling to unlock on the camera. I do not understand how Olympus can expect anyone to sink a grand into this camera and it not have 4k. MY CELL PHONE HAS 4K and can make calls. Now I'm not saying I want the camera to make calls but what I do want is the ability to shoot on what will be the next main format, 4k. My Go Pro does 4k why not this. On the matter of my Go pro, that also does 1080p at 60fps why can't this camera at least manage that. I would almost be willing to forgive the lack of 4k if Olympus was willing to give us some high Fps features, There is nothing "cinematic" about 24 fps or better. 60fps is objectively better and smoother. Battery life is kinda short on the camera and the grip with an extra battery is a must. If we compare the camera to the canon 70D which can do 60fps at 720p the camera feels lacking. The USB cable is just blatant making something proprietary for the sake of making more money when you loose or break the old one. Micro USB is the industry standard, get with the program especially if you are going to require the USB cable for firmware updates whats good on this camera: micro 3/4 lenses are dirt cheap wifi controls are neat

Apparently Mirrorless means Useless

After using this for more than a year, I am really happy that I made the right decision in going m43 with Olympus! The features that one gets with this camera is just crazy good, on top of excellent image quality. I know people that have made 16"x24" remarkable prints with the OMD E-M1 sensor. All in all, this is definitely a very sound and dependable system that is here to stay.

Worth much more than it's price... Excellent product!

This is a fantastic little, full-featured and highly advanced camera. Lots of features and menus but well worth taking the time to learn.  Experienced photographers should have no problem coming up to speed with this camera. And with the right lens focus stacking is available. A pretty incredible technology. This camera represents the new leading edge of where camera's are going in the future.

This is a fantastic little, full-featured and highly advanced camera

I needed a new "everyday" kind of camera for anythkng from street photography to a trusty vacation companion. This camera surpassed my expectations, capturing crisp, vibrant images in just about any lighting condition without a need for a flash. Another great thing about this body is that I can also take it into the studio. I give it two thumbs up and recommend it to photographers at all levels. Only slight con is that the interface can be a tad slow when powering on for an instant shot, but the results outweigh that tiny mistep.

Amazing Quality and Easy to Use!

I upgraded to the OMD after burning out the screen on my dad's older E-Pl2 and decided it was time to get my own kit. I loved the customizability of the camera settings from the E-Pl2 and found that the OMD delivered in that area - and with much better image quality. The weather-sealing and 5-axis stabilization on the OMD is solid, though one thing I'd advise for extended shooting or with larger lenses like the 40-150 PRO is the HLD-7. Having that extra grip and battery life really helps. Overall, an extremely solid camera. It does what you want it to out-of-the box, does even more if you want to customize it to your shooting style, and feels very balanced, no matter what lens you choose to mount on it. I would recommend it to any photographer looking to take their shooting to another level.

Highly Customizable, Very Capable

This camera is the best machine in the mirrorless family. Ive gotten it soaked with salt and fresh water on my vacation in the Philippines. The image stablizer works perfectly, especially at night when i shoot free hand. I use it during the day and late at night and every shot is crystal clear. It has a sturdy feel when you hold it unlike other mirrorless cameras. Its lite weight and durable. Highly recommended if your are looking for a mirrorless camera.

compact beast of a camera

I've been using this camera for going on three years and I absolutely love what it can do; I primarily use it for photographing birds. Being an advanced beginner, I know there are many features I don't use, but I'm getting used to new ones little by little and as I want more versatility and capability. The first camera got a good drenching in heavy rain (unfortunately) and has major corrosion; the battery is drained when "OFF"; when "on" and in sleep mode it completely functions perfectly. I HAD TO get a replacement camera; I got the same model because I don't want to deal with a high learning curve and it suits me very well. I like the size and fit in my hand. The old one will serve as a spare and use by less experienced family members.
