Protection against water and dust

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

Finally forced into buying a new body, but stick with Olympus?

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

It's 'Post your M43 photo' Thursday! Come share your best work with the community!

if you want something with good AF on a budget, the E-M1 mark II should be pretty nice. Phase detection AF and everything, doesn't have subject detection but the zone focus modes (especially 5x5) work very well.

Looking to buy an Olympus digital camera as a beginner

if you have about 200 bucks to spend on the camera body and want the best out of your money : go get an E-M10 mark II, this is bar none the best camera that you'll find in this kind of price point. Spending less will get you considerably less, and spending more will not give you a ton of difference,

EM1X

The E-M1X is a beast. Performance wise, it sits pretty much in the middle between the E-M1 mark II and E-M1 mark III. All 3 have the same sensor, same burst rate, same video specs, etc however the E-M1X introduced hand held high res modes, which isn't present in the E-M1ii. It also has AI deep learn
