Looks like the whole photography world from big to small had the chance to test the new E-M1X. As a consequence I am receiving ton of links to new youtube review. I am going to post them all in small pieces. Here comes the first part!
E-M1X Preorders:
Olympus E-M1X in USA at Amazon, GetOlympus, Adorama and BHphoto.
Olympus E-M1X in Europe at Calumet Germany, ParkCameras, Jessops, WexUK.

Time to have a quick roundup of the reviewers E-M1X tests conclusions:
“An inherent benefit of a smaller sensor is that it has less inertia, making it easier to provide stabilization. This is borne-out with a frankly astonishing rating of 7EV, even before you consider the 7.5EV it’ll achieve with the 12-100mm F4. There are footnotes to all these claims, of course, and we tend to find we don’t experience quite the number that CIPA testing promises, but this system is seriously good from what we’ve experienced so far.”
“If size isn’t a factor, this is undoubtedly the ultimate Micro Four Thirds camera. And, if you ignore the narrative about sensor size, this is arguably the ultimate mirrorless camera, period.”
“To me, I appreciate the significant improvement in AF, both in general S-AF in all situations, as well as vastly more efficient extreme low light AF. This upgrade alone can make or break the deal in some very challenging shooting scenarios. For motorsports shooters, the new subject tracking mode may just make your life so much better with automatic subject detection and tracking, which proved to work very efficiently.”
The E-M1X is an extremely well-built device, with some excellent handling and some very strong features, particularly in terms of its image stabilisation, burst shooting and video. For those sports and wildlife shooters with an investment in Micro Four Third glass, it’s going to be a very tempting proposition. That smaller sensor size will likely deter some professionals still, but the ability to utilise a smaller and more lightweight system and still get serious telephoto reach may appeal to others.
At minute 7 you can see the swiss reviewer submerging the new E-M1X. The camera keeps working as nothing had happened. Try to do that with a Sony ;)
The E-M1X has IPX1-rated weather sealing. Don’t know of any other mirrorless camera that has this kind of rating (let me know if I am mistaken).
Additional note: At minute 7.45 he also made a drop test!

A reader sent me this size comparison between the E-M1X and the E-M1II. The E-M1X is not only taller but also quite a bit wider:
Our reader CM (Thanks!) made those further size comparison:

This is the first image of the new Sharp 8k Micro Four Thirds camera! It will be the first 8K camera for under $5,000. This is a prototype and there are no official specs yet which will be announced in Q2. The only info we got is that it takes 8k at 30fps in H.265 codec. It records on single SD card slot. It has on sensor stabilization and it has a 5 inch flip out display!
We have to thank Kinotika for spotting this camera that got completely unnoticed through the first days of CES:
TCSTV has had the Panasonic Lumix LX100 Mark II for a few months to give it a long-term test while travelling and capturing family moments along the way. Watch to find out what Dave and Evelyn think about this popular compact camera in terms of image quality, ergonomics, features, video, and more while attempting to skate on ice at the same time…
Mattias Burling:
In this video I compare sensor sizes to illustrate why I never apply crop factor to aperture. And If you don’t know what crop factor is, then don’t watch this video. Because it has no real impact on your photography or videography.
Use your cameras and lenses as they sit today. How it may or may not look on other systems isn’t really relevant when taking pictures or shooting video.
I have written some additional thoughts (rant) on my site www.gunpowdervideo.com.
