OM-D E-M1X

You'll probably want a camera with PDAF focusing. So, an E-M1/1.2/1.3, or a very-used OM-1. If you don't mind changing brands, the Panasonic G9 II and the GH7 have PDAF, but even used will be out of your budget. If you want to impress all the other sports dads, get an E-M1X ;) Personally, I'd look f

When everybody else was fleeing down the mountain side, hiding their leicas and other cameras from the 60 mile an hour driving rain my go to CAMERA helped me get this shot. Olympus OM-D E-M1X is the GOAT!

GPS for the love of God. The EOS 6D had it 14 years ago, the E-M1X had it in 2019. If they can fit it in the TG series, they can fit it in an OM-1.

It depends. The E-M1X is a great camera, but I feel like it's overkill size wise, especially for travel etc. It really only makes sense if you absolutely need the improvements that it brings, such as hand-held high resolution modes, or the subject detection AF system (which works, kinda, but is much

Hi, I work in an IP rating testing lab. IPX1 is laughable, but the reason it's rated like this is most likely only because they didn't bother with a higher tier certification. IP testing is long and expensive. You don't test the product until it fails, you just test what the manufacturer told you to

I mean that's kind of the second big advantage of small sensors, it's not unspoken about. But it sure is nice. Olympus outdid themselves and also shot themselves in the foot when they released the E-M1 mark II in late 2016 with so much stuff packed in it. It was so good that people looked at the E-M

I hope they go back to the old AF joystick they used on the E-M1X and E-M1 Mark III, the OM-1 joystick feels worse and people are already reporting failures in the field.

To answer your title, the E-m1 mk II might be slightly more affordable than the E-m1x. I think it's the best bang for the buck. That said, considering your uses, I'd totally make the jump to an om-1 mk I or g9ii. Then it depends what lenses you own and many other factors

Obviously, the E-M1X is a significant step forward technology from the OG E-M5, but did you ever consider getting an HLD-6 for the E-M5? It’s a really cool option and the modularity gives you a lot of flexibility for using the camera in different situations/for different purposes. https://admiringli

There's very little difference in AF performance between all IMX27X based cameras (that's E-M5 III, OM-5, OM-5 II, E-M1 II, E-M1 III and E-M1X). The E-M1X is the only one with unique processing dedicated to subject detection but with only 121 AF points it is still primitive compared to modern camera
