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

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.

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

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

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

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

This is good to know and thank you. I agree that OM System's weather sealing is industry leading! I had the E-M1X on a very heavy Alaska downpour and sleet for 5 hrs and after I dried everything, the 1X is dry as a bone inside. So yeah, I'm keeping the MFT!

Im birding with my E-M1 II and switched to the OM-D from a Nikon D750. I really love my Olympus lenses and the E-M1 II and won’t go back to the bigger systems. I use 4/3rds lenses exclusively to trade them with my E-5. The Olympus 50-200 f2.8-3.5 with an MMF-3 and EC-14 converter is unbeatable for p

Well personally, I would not get an E-M10.4 simply because the autofocus is only contrast detection. You might be able to get decent results sometimes but it's a bit of a gamble. I would look towards phase detection bodies instead, which fortunately there are plenty. Some options to consider : - E-M

Did you hold both in hand? I'd recommend doing that. G9 is as big as it gets for MFT (well, with exception for E-M1X), and OM-5 is almost pocketable.
