The Olympus OM-D E-M1 was the second model in OM-D series after the original OM-D E-M5. The official replacement for the E-5 DSLR, its arrival signified the end of Olympus’ range of Four Thirds DSLR cameras and the brand’s full commitment to the Micro Four Thirds format.

The E-M1 was also one of the first professional mirrorless cameras to hit the market, sporting advanced features such as on-sensor phase detection AF, 10fps continuous shooting with focus locked or 6fps with C-AF, 5-axis in-body stabilisation, WiFi and full weather-sealing against dust, moisture and cold temperatures. It has a 16MP sensor with no AA filter and is compatible with E-system DSLR lenses via an adapter.
