OM SYSTEM OM-1 Micro Four Thirds System Camera, 20 MP BSI Stacked Sensor, 5-Axis Image Stabilisation, Black

I loved my OMD Mkii and the things I instantly noticed with this upgrade that were of importance to me : Bird tracking Better ibis stability Better iso Quicker photo stacking capabilities The view finder is a big improvement. I also noticed a lot less buffering when taken at fast frames rates .

My initial order didn't arrive on time but amazon's customer facing team chased the warehouse and got it expedited. Very grateful for thier support. On the camera Pros: - A lot of pro functions. There's very little that cannot be done by this camera. I've used it one holiday and every picture was perfect. E.g. Portrait mode adjusts the colors beautifully to capture a natural but vibrant skin tone. - really really good AF. Tracking works very well like 95% of the time. Taking the right pictures almost exactly when you want is very easy with this camera. - exceptional low light performance. Comparing to my previous camera (omd em10 mark ii), the om1 can push the iso to almost max in the worst most dimly light conditions with barely any graininess/ color distortion. This was impossible with my previous camera. I've used the same lens so having a camera that can push iso makes a huge difference. Night pictures turn out gorgeous with this camera. - excellent stabilisation. I've been raising my camera and snapping pictures in seconds while walking or tilting my body and the pictures have had zero blur. You need to do some serious gymnastics or set a slow shutter speed on purpose to get a blur. - excellent battery life: 400+ pics easily on a single charge, for me that's 2 days worth of travel/ holiday photography. Cons: - a little chunky for a mft. But i have big hands so I don't mind. - learning curve- this is a pro camera, learning the features can take time. - GUI/ menu is a little complex and overloaded. But can't blame them. The camera can do a lot. - monochrome mode is a bit too crisp and bright. Doesn't capture depth of shadows as well and lacks the personality that the omd em10 had. I'd prefer the monochrome mode of the em10. But I suppose technically it's a higher quality in terms of image. Summary verdict: Overall the camera is well build and does exactly what you want it to do and then some without any hitches (95-97% of the times). Its Color profile is natural, processing is fast, great stabilisation and battery and low light performace. And has bucket loads of useful functions. Would highly recommend.

I have owned Olympus camera’s since 1979, when the David Bailey advertisements for these camera where on TV. I have progressed through many film (notably a OM 4TI) and digital cameras (EM1Mark 1 & 2). Now I own the latest digital OM1. The camera with its revamped menu is a joy to behold. The only fault I can find if that it is not supplied more advanced manual than just the basic multi-language giving details in how to insert the battery and turn the camera on. A more detailed manual is available in line, whuch is easily downloaded to portable devices (phone, kindle, laptop, etc). Even with this minor fault I still give this fantastic Olympus camera 5 stars. After using the OM Systems OM-1, I am very disapponted that a proper out of camera charger is not provide , as I will not charge third party batteries in the OM-1, I am still dubious about charging a genuine BLX-1 battery in the camera., by using a power bank that must be a minimum of 27watts, therefore the tywo power bank I have for charging the mobile phones are therefore useless with the camera tochage batteries. Why are not two batteries supplied by OM Systems with the camera??

I moved from an M-10 to this machine. It is incredible. Every button and dial can be customised to your style of photography. There are 4 presets for perhaps, bird tracking, macro, portrait etc, built in ND filters which work really well (you will still need graduated) It works well in the dark with an amazing ISO level and IR reading. Coupled with the pro lenses it will get the best out of you as a photographer. Consider getting the battery pack for longer shooting, more preset options and easier to use rotation of the camera. Add a hand strap to manage the weight better and you won’t really notice the camera even when walking round the city for a day. What else, easy to use menu, with favourites settings, personalised art settings that process all with one shut of the buttons no need to keep turning the dial for multiple shots, The tracking of birds, dogs, trains, planes and F1 cars are superb as is the personalising of portrait mode and ease of subject selection for group shots. It takes some work to get used to it all, perhaps buy a good book and use OM’s on line videos to speed the process. I ( as you may tell) absolutely love it. Oh dont forget the highest standards of weather protection too.

OM Systems hat die OM1 im Verhältnis zu den Vorgängern bei Olympus (ich hatte mehrere wie z.B. die M1 Mark II) äußerst sinnvoll weiterentwickelt. Die Kamera verfügt über den weltbesten Schutz gegen Spritzwasser, Staub und Kälte; über einen extrem schnellen Autofocus bei Objekten aller Art (bei menschlichen Gesichtern gab es kleine Schwächen, die aber seit den Firmware-Updates 1.1 und 1.2 Geschichte sind), über einen eingebauten ND-Filter, eine Unzahl von teilweise einzigartigen Aufnahmemodi wie ProCapture, die sicherstellen, dass man wichtige Aufnahmen nicht versäumt, einen tollen und extrem verbesserten Sucher, ein wesentlich vereinfachtes Menüsystem, deutlich besseres Rauschverhalten (fotografiere viel mit 12800 ISO), die Möglichkeit, die Auflösung auf bis zu 80 MP hochzuschreiben durch einen High Resolution Mode (Handheld 50 MP), die vielleicht beste Bildstabilisierung aller Kameras (mit dem Objektiv 12-100 von Olympus machte ich knackscharfe Aufnahmen noch bei 4 Sekunden Aufnahmezeit!!!) und und und ... Mit einem Wort: es ist ein Vergnügen, mit dieser Kamera zu fotografieren. Sicherlich die beste Kamera, die ich je hatte (hatte auch eine Nikon Z6, in alten Zeiten auch Nikon F3, Leica M3 etc.) Und dazu auch - was ich mir aufgrund der neuen Firma nicht unbedingt erwartet hatte - einen extrem guten Kundendienst. Durch eine Dummheit meinerseits sorgte ich dafür, dass beim Update die Kamera nicht mehr ansprechbar war, da ich den Akku vorzeitig entnahm. Damit wurde die Kamera zu einer Art Ziegel. Ich schrieb dies an Olympus / OM Systems, 10 Minuten später hatte ich einen DHL Express Sticker für einen Gratisversand für eine Gratisreparatur nach Portugal und 6 Tage, nachdem meine Kamera in Portugal angekommen war, hatte ich sie schon wieder repariert in meinen Händen. Dazu kommt, dass die Garantiezeit der Kamera bei der Anmeldung bei Olympus um 5 Jahre verlängert wurde, worüber ich freudig überrascht war, da die 5-jährige Garantieverlängerung nach meiner Vorinformation eigentlich nur für Käufe bis Anfang März gegolten hatte. Ich verstehe daher die teils negativen Kommentare hier überhaupt nicht. Ich kann diese Kamera jedem Interessierten, der mit einem sehr kompakten, aber dennoch extrem leistungsfähigen System fotografieren möchte, nur bestens weiterempfehlen. Update 1.6.23: Nachdem ich die Bewertung durch sv124 gelesen habe, meine Reaktion dazu: alles, was sv124 schreibt, klappt bei mir. Das Rauschen ist deutlich geringer als bei der M1-II, ich mache absolut problemlos Aufnahmen von 12800 ISO ohne erkennbares Rauschen (mit Workspace), mit Einschränkungen sogar 25600. Vorher war bei 6400 ISO Schluss. Ich übertrage problemlos mit der App die Fotos auf mein Handy und kann auch über WLAN auslösen. Ich finde keineswegs, dass man für jedes kleine Update extra bezahlen muss. Im Gegenteil: verglichen mit anderen Fotosystemen erhält man enorm viel (von ProCapture beginnend, ND etc.) für sein Geld.

The OM-1 needs no introduction as there have been enough professional reviewers that have gone through the camera and I am glad to say that they are right, this is a worthy successor to the flagship categorisation. Its computational functions are truly an improvement for a camera its class, and even works with lenses made to conform with the Four Thirds standards. Well done, OM System. Looks like there is nothing to worry about for the future. More importantly, this is the last camera to carry the Olympus name. Something that the Olympus faithfuls will like to add to their cabinet.

With the OM-1, OM System (the current owners of the former Olympus Imaging Division) has apparently succeeded in doing what Olympus failed to do for quite a few years before selling their camera business. In the years before this sell-off, Olympus released two cameras that should have been flagship models: The E-M1X and the E-M1 Mark III. The former, however, is a large, heavy and expensive "brick" that trades away the size- and weight-advantage of Micro 4/3 in return for relatively modest technical improvements, and the latter is only a minor and disappointing refresh of the E-M1 Mark II. Both cameras keep the same sensor as the Mark II, and much of its capabilities. JIP, the new owners, seem to have little or no experience of camera industry. In this case, it is probably a good thing, in the sense that the former Olympus engineers have been left free to implement the ideas that had been stymied for years by the Olympus leadership. For a price only about 150 € higher than the E-M1X, one gets a far better camera only imperceptibly larger and heavier than the E-M1 II/III, with a new sensor type, a pair of the latest-generation 4-core image processors working in parallel, and several new functions and improved performance in almost every respect (not in sensor pixel-count, but anyone who takes real pictures in the real world can tell you that 20 Mpixel is more than enough for over 95% of commercial image uses). The sensor itself has a group of four pixels under each microlens and Bayer filter. This means that the sensor is not really 80 Mpixel, but neither it is just a plain 20 Mpixel. For one thing, each group of four photodiodes can be used for AF, and still provides image data during the actual exposure (unlike the dedicated AF pixels of all Olympus E-M1 Mark I/II/III and E-M1x models). The stacked sensor architecture also means that, in spite of the four times higher number of photodiodes, each image is read out of the sensor twice as fast as in earlier models. Hopefully, like Olympus used to do before losing its ways, over the years the OM-1 firmware will continue to be gradually upgraded with new functions to take advantage of this sensor architecture and the plentiful reserves of processing power. As for me, I an happy that I did the right thing and, after the E-M1 Mark II, decided not to upgrade to later Olympus models because their improvements were simply too small to be worth the cost. The OM-1, instead, so far has proved to be everything I have been waiting for. I am keeping my E-M1 II and E-M1 "I" because I still have uses for them, and frequently use full-frame Sony Alpha cameras in the lab, but the OM-1 is quickly becoming my favorite camera for outings and field work.
