E-M1 camera of the year at Photographyblog! And one fixed and one non fixed issue report

Share

The E-M1 keeps receiving awards as best camera of the year 2013. The E-M1 has now been chosen as mirrorless camera of the year at Photographyblog too!

Some more E-M1 tests:
E-M1 vs GX7 at BestMirrorlessCameras.
Can the OM-D E-M1 Replace Your DSLR for Sports Photography? (TheDigitalStory).
Sam: “Not a rumor, but I’ve posted some thoughts about shooting action with the E-M1, including some photos and some criticisms regarding shooting in the “Hi” and “Lo” FPS modes that I don’t hear anyone else really grumbling about – an area of improvement I think Oly needs to work on. http://www.flickr.com/groups/om-d_user/discuss/72157639712733065/”

Not everything about the E-M1 is perfect:
There is one unsolved issue: Phase detect AF strips showing up in Olympus E-M1 video (EosHD).
And one solved: Tim told me that “a good number of us with E-M1’s had a pink color shift in the Apple RAW processor. It’s now been fixed with the latest Raw update.”

(FT5) New E-M10 pictures (first time pic of the back).

Share

For the first time we can see a picture form the back of the camera (well not all the back). And this is an image from the top and again from the front:

This is a nice looking camera with nice specs (too bad it doesn’t have the 5 axis IBIS). Now let’s hope Olympus will have mercy with the pricing in Europe and US :)
