Shoot cars in the garage

Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera

full-frame sensors were incredibly difficult to produce
Thirds cameras have blurred those lines over the past decade

colour and maze patterns due to aliasing creep in at higher frequencies
No sensor upgrade
tracking is not same thing as focusing

Focusing is not same as tracking

essentially no camera shake in all the photos I have taken in this
this 18 second movie is 200Mb in size
Flicker scan suppresses striped patterns
shots would be usable at small output sizes
interesting blurring effects will result
noise was apparent and images were slightly softened and a few colour artefacts
no camera shake in all the photos I have taken in this
above ISO 6
400 is not recommended as there is clear detail loss
image noise is more evident
lack of a small status display on the top of the camera
Olympus has doubled up on most key controls
never miss images by being a split-second too late on the draw
sensor starts to struggle is in low light conditions
vintage lenses and film cameras
the handheld mode can occasionally be a bit hit and miss
the eye sensor is just way too sensitive
Tracking not available at top burst rate
Details are slightly blurred at ISO 6400
focus is locked during the sequence
image noise is more of a concern
camera s inability to lock focus on darker skinned people is
low-light performance
no 60 images per second in 4K
seeming disadvantage of a smaller sensor size
High Res mode is still fairly limited
lackluster and outdated

Olympus OM-D E-M1X review - Cameralabs

The Olympus OM-D E-M1X is a high-end mirrorless camera aimed at sports and wildlife pros, featuring a 20 MP Four Thirds sensor, 18fps with CAF, 4k up to 30p, up to 7.5 stops of stabilisation, and claims of the best weather-proofing around. It’s also the largest, heaviest and priciest OMD yet. Find out if it’s the ideal pro action camera in my in-depth review!…

Review: Olympus OMD EM1X (Would You Do This to a Camera?)

The Olympus OMD EM1X is built well and can perform very well in most situations. But we have concerns about the AF tracking and image quality.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1X is the ultimate sports, action and wildlife camera for professional Micro Four Thirds users. However, it can't quite match the level of AF reliability offered by its full frame competitors.

Tech review: Olympus OM-D E-M1X an all-round excellent camera except its price

Olympus is sticking with the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) sensor for its mirrorless cameras, despite seeing rivals move to larger full-frame sensors. This means its new flagship, the OM-D E-M1X, has a sensor that is around half the size of the full-frame ones in the latest mirrorless cameras of Panasonic and Sigma.. Read more at straitstimes.com.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera features a truly rugged, professional build, but its Micro Four Thirds image sensor lags behind the full-frame competition.
