![]() ![]() ![]() The E-M1 replaces the Olympus Four Thirds DSLR lineup in fact, the company even claims its “image quality rivals full-frame DSLRs.” Are Olympus’s statements – that a mirrorless camera can be as powerful as a DSLR – accurate, or are they just pure hype? Features and design Amazingly it costs even more than one of our favorite higher-resolution DSLRs, the 24-megapixel Nikon D7100. The 16-megapixel Olympus OM-D E-M1 ($1,400, body only) is the company’s latest flagship mirrorless camera. An Olympus and Canon shooter, he has a wealth of knowledge on cameras of all makes – and a fondness for vintage lenses and instant cameras.( Update on December 10, 2013: Olympus has released a new firmware update that improves stabilization when shooting in Children or Sports modes, autofocus operation, and live bulb quality while noise reduction is on, among other enhancements.) This has led him to being a go-to expert for camera and lens reviews, photo and lighting tutorials, as well as industry news, rumors and analysis for publications like Digital Camera Magazine, PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine, N-Photo: The Nikon Magazine, Digital Photographer and Professional Imagemaker, as well as hosting workshops and talks at The Photography Show. He also serves as a judge for the Red Bull Illume Photo Contest. In this time he shot for clients like Aston Martin Racing, Elinchrom and L'Oréal, in addition to shooting campaigns and product testing for Olympus, and providing training for professionals. The editor of Digital Camera World, James has 21 years experience as a journalist and started working in the photographic industry in 2014 (as an assistant to Damian McGillicuddy, who succeeded David Bailey as Principal Photographer for Olympus). What does the Olympus sale mean for users – and the wider camera industry? Olympus hits reset button: rebrands as OM System, teases "next level" camera ![]() Olympus sale agreed – meet OM Digital Solutions Corporation We use both real-world testing and lab results to inform our comments in buying guides. Resolution is measured using ISO resolution charts, dynamic range is measured using DxO Analyzer test equipment and DxO Analyzer is also used for noise analysis across the camera's ISO range. Our lab tests measure resolution, dynamic range and signal to noise ratio. We test DSLR and mirrorless cameras both in real-world shooting scenarios and in carefully controlled lab conditions.

They may not warrant an upgrade if you already own the TG-5, but if you have an older Tough or you're looking for an outdoor camera that can go in the sea, get covered in sand, be dropped onto concrete, and still take pictures and video even in freezing temperatures, this is the best everything-proof camera out there. And the OM-5 is weatherproof to the IP53 standard, making it the official leader in its class when it comes to withstanding water, dirt and dust in the field.Īt first glance, the Olympus Tough TG-6 seems indistinguishable from its predecessor, the TG-5. ![]() The in-body image stabilization is now a base 6.5 stops, hitting 7.5 when used with the company's Sync-IS lenses, and an upgraded processor powers the brilliant Live ND Filters, giving you up to 4-stops of ND simulation.Īutofocus systems are improved, with better face and eye recognition along with Starry Sky AF mode to make astrophotography a doddle. While the familiar 20.4MP sensor may seem conservative in pixel count, it offers 50MP handheld shooting (or 80MP on a tripod) for when you need a resolution boost. Except where the OM-1 was built for advanced photographers, the OM-5 is built for the adventurers. Technically it's a successor to the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, but truthfully it has more in common with the flagship OM System OM-1. So while the OM System OM-5 is the first camera not to bear the Olympus logo, this body bleeds the technological legacy of the brand. You can take the camera out of Olympus, but you can't take Olympus out of the camera. ![]()
