E M1x User Experinace

[@dannyli9424]

I know it's a five year old video but I still have the Em1X and the 12 to 100mm. I do like how the camera feels in my hand and for a camera this age also very decent in terms of features, but i just can stand the image quality these tiny MFT sensor produces, it's pretty bad even 5 year before when compare to those FF back then, so i pretty abandoned this system and never look back. I am just surprised after 5 year they still can't get much better with the latest Om1 MK II, the only difference I saw is they think they are the next LEICA and have the guts to charge us $2700 for the 150 to 600 mm lens. 😀😀😀😀😀

Fast forward a few years and this camera is a raging bargain. I'm moving to this from a Panasonic G9 and this video captures a key use case for why I wanted it.

[@velvetvideo]

seeing a lot of good deals on this camera. How does it hold up to a gh6 or g9ii?...or anything else for that matter. I was looking for a good travel setup for outdoor, macro and vlogging. I know its a bit big for vlog, but if its lightweight and battery life is good, it might be a winner...especially at the price. Its half of what the others are.

[@cotswoldcamerastv869]

Like your videos. None of the normal KZbinr Hyperbole. It's like my dad is talking me through the camera which is quite relaxing. Thanks for your video. I'll be back in the UK next week to test the EM1X.

[@MrSpiff9]

Thank you for your kind words! I'll be interested to hear what you think of the E-M1X. I'm planning on making more videos when we get a break in our client schedule next week as well.

[@davidfleet]

@@MrSpiff9 Hi Stan,. Not sure why my comment posted under an old account before. Anyway I look forward to seeing more of your content on the EM1X. I'll be taking mine to the Scottish Highlands next month and then Asia so it should get a thorough test.

[@evans66ph]

A Proper review Stan, especially from a user perspective. Great Stuff!

[@joanantonim.p.2400]

WOW... 😲😲 Thank you very much... 👍👍👍👌👌🙌 More about the OM-D E-M1X ... , please... 🙏🙏 . "SALUDOS... 👋👋😀 "

[@DJFoucher]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@Gynra]

Obviously a Pentax! There's no fooling me. (I just bought an Olympus OM-D E-M1X and it looks a bit like that Pentax)

[@dalethorn2]

A friend of mine at the Medina OH photo club informed me about this camera, and here I am living in Charleston SC. I hope to find you around town sometime with that camera, like City Lights across from Chas. Place.

Run the Spell Checker on the title ??

[@gregs4163]

I believe you were right the first time when you said in hand held mode it's 16 images and 8 with tripod for High Rez. I saw several videos with Olympus reps and that is what all of them said.

[@MotoPhotoAdventures]

Nicely done, Stan! It's great seeing you getting into this world. Is Sharon shooting the video?

[@MDMiller60]

Good presentation, but if you are going to compare shots, it would be good if you can show standard, then hi res and repeat that 2 or 3 times. I could not tell one way or the other. Also, it would be good marketing if you mentioned what you had in the bag, the more lenses the better. If you had the 12-100, 45, 24-200, 25, 12-40 and the body, fitted in -that- bag, that would tell the size story.

[@fellowcitizen]

Love to see a review of that beguiling 12-100mm. (And the 150-400mm, of course...)

[@raksh9]

Olympus IBIS is outstanding. The original E-M5 stabilization beats the Panasonic GX85 and in some ways even the GH5, which is years older. If the E-M1X video quality is as good as the GH5, it could be time to switch to Olympus for video.

[@MrSpiff9]

Thanks for your comments! For our next video, we are going to have Larry run & gun with the E-M1X and 12-100 M Zuiko PRO while I shoot with another favorite; the Pen-F! Should be fun!

[@tebitan3780]

Video is clearly worse, no 10 bit etc. For some however it could be enough.

[@thebadmanreturns]

Amazing review. Oly is very popular in Japan. The end of BIG Flagships camera is near. They were too BIG & Heavy

[@hagentrondheim3675]

Can it do high res and focus stacking at the same time?

[@MrSpiff9]

Hagen, I'm not sure but I will ask the folks at Olympus. Knowing that focus stacking usually needs to be locked down on a tripod, i'm guessing not, but they have surprised me in the past!

[@sebastiaanvanwater]

What camera was used to record this video? What settings? Some footage looks nervous, like AF is constantly going back and forth with the background. A bit distracting.

[@ericwolff6059]

What ever you do, do not read the comments in DPReview.

[@MrSpiff9]

Eric, I try to take everyone's (who has actually spent time with the camera) comments in stride. It would be pretty boring is we all only liked the same things. I happen to think that camera manufacturers all make good products, and finding the right fit is most important for each of us. It's just really cool that we all get to create images with all this innovation available!

[@tkarlmann]

It is obvious DPR is being paid by someone to be anti-Olympus; and I could care less what they say.

[@kalel33]

@@tkarlmann That's just a lazy excuse. Sony fanboys said the same when their cameras were getting hammered. Even Nikon and Canon fanboys cried foul at times over reviews.

[@tkarlmann]

@@kalel33 Sony & Canikon guys are ALWAYS showing up at 43rumors.com and everywhere else peddling their nonsense. I think they are worried that they might be missing something -- and they ARE!!

[@kalel33]

@@tkarlmann I love my Olympus camera, especially for hiking, event photography, and street photography, but I would never go over to Olympus completely. My Nikon camera is my go-to for everything else.

[@armanddimeo6575]

Nikon, Canon, and Sony have no reason to worry but I think this camera will be a success for Olympus. Olympus is now a legimitate option for the pro market.

[@darrendavenport3334]

Its been a legitimate option for the pro market for years.... seems you're a bit late to open your eyes....

[@bpcs63]

Nice first look! A quick note... When going from HR to normal, Oly always defaults to Full Machanical shutter... not what you should use. Always reset to Anti-shock or Electronic for best sharpness.

Nice Medium Format 📷 camera, oh wait! Its only Medium Format in size and price 😂

[@MrSpiff9]

Oh, it's no where near the cost or size of a true medium format camera; i.e., Hasselblad H6D-400 ($48k US) or Phase One XF-iq4 100 ($48k US) or 150 ($52k US). If you're referring to the Fuji GFX or Hasselblad X1d, those are crop sensor... :-)

[@tomerweiss4900]

@@MrSpiff9 :-)

[@brodcastization]

I think you mistook Medium format with full frame..but it's smaller than full frames too

[@kiwipics]

If it's that good, why did it take so long to get one shot (oh yeah .. multi image stitching), and why such a huge body for such a tiny sensor... That size issue is what doesn't make any sense in the mirrorless arguement. Full frame refers to the 35mm analogue frame, and the M43 size sensor is a 110 analogue equivalent. Great news for Olympus owners though, and a nice looking body / spec...... And yes we know what the unknown camera is .... ;-)

[@MrSpiff9]

In answer to your question John, it's because I'm old & slow! Sometimes I still have a hard time with the electronic shutter, as I have been conditioned to hearing the shutter click that I'm not sure it has taken the shot! And yes, I know what full frame in your context means. Actually, the size and shape of the body for M43 does make sense for motorsports and having the extreme weather sealing. When I got my first Nikkor 300mm 2.8 in the late 1970's for sports (shooting on either an F2a w motor or F with the 250 frame back & built in motor), it was a beast and thankfully the body was big enough for me to hold it. When I want smaller and more inconspicous, I can either take my MkII (without grip) or my Pen-F.

[@melvinch]

There's just so much wasted space on the top and the back. Wouldn't have hurt Olympus to put an LCD on the top and more dials or buttons on the back.

[@MrSpiff9]

Melvin, I am happy that there isn't more buttons or dials added, as I find that the controls are just perfect the way they are in both placement and operationally. From what I know, the addition of an LCD on the top area would have taken quite a bit more space and would have not been as weather sealed as designed. Personally, I am one of those who keeps the back LCD turned in and wouldn't look at the top LCD much anyway, but I could see if someone preferred that how it might be a nice feature.

[@thebadmanreturns]

I like rotating dials much more than Calculator Screen in dslrs
