Hello, my name's Jacob.
I'm from Wilkinson Cameras.
Today we're here with the brand new
E-M1X from Olympus
this is Olympus' brand new flagship model
for their new professional lineup.
This camera has been designed
with the working
professional photographer in mind.
It's built for speed,
durability and reliability.
Firstly, you'll notice this is a lot bigger
than what Olympus have ever made before,
but it's surprisingly light, at only 849g.
They've integrated a battery grip
which holds two batteries,
which are the same as the E-M1 Mark II,
giving you over 2,500 shots on just one charge.
It's tough, it's durable and it feels really
strudy in the hands, thanks to the
magnesium- alloy body.
It may well be bigger
but remember that because this is part
of Olympus' Micro Four Thirds system
the lenses are much smaller,
lightweight and compact. So the system
still remains relatively compact
compared to a conventional DSLR.
This paired with the many dedicated
buttons and dual joysticks
ensures efficient operation.
The autofocus on this camera
has been completely redeveloped.
Inside, it has two TruPic VIII processors,
one of which is just dedicated
to the AF performance.
It features 121 all-cross-type
autofocus points for better autofocus,
in low contrasted scenes
and improved tracking.
Plus, it includes a new custom
array feautre, which bascially means
that you can customise your
own autofocus area.
Another handy feature is when
switching from landscape to portrait,
your autofocus point actually follows
the camera, which means you
don't have to readjust.
The E-M1X, using the electronic shutter
can shoot up to 18 frames a second
with autofocus tracking
and up to 60 frames a second
with single autofocus lock.
It's very fast.
The PRO Capture mode,
means that you can shoot
using the viewfinder without blackouts.
One incredible new feature is,
Olympus' new Intelligent Subject
Detection AF mode.
It's really something you have to
see to believe.
You can select only three subject
modes at the moment,
planes, trains and motorsports.
But, Olympus are saying that
are working on many more
for the future.
We've actually seen this
autofocus mode in action.
We chose the motorsports mode
and we pointed the camera towards some
superbikes and before we'd even
halfpressed the shutter, the camera was
detecting every single superbike
on the track.
It was following them as they went
round the track,
which was really, really impressive.
It does it super, super quick
and when you halfpress the shutter
it then locks onto the nearest
motorbike and it quickly snaps the shot,
and not only that, to make things more
impressive, it could actually detect
the helmet of the rider.
The Olympus E-M1X has a
20.4 megapixel Live MOS sensor.
This is the same Micro Four Thirds sensor
as in the E-M1 Mark II
and as we know from that camera
we can expect brilliant image quality.
Images are sharp with great colour
rendition and detail and
this is especially good when paired
with Olympus' PRO glass.
The camera performs really well
in low light as well.
ISO of up to 25,600.
We did a couple of quick tests,
and found that images are still usable
even up to ISO 6,400.
This is mostly thanks to the
two processors.
More processors means more effieciency.
We also saw impressive results
in the dynamic range
with lots of detail in the
highlights and in the shadows,
even in JPEG file.
In terms of video quality, the OM-D E-M1X
can shoot 4K, 30 frames a second
and 1080P at 120 frames a second.
A new Log400 colour profile has
been added to retain even further
dynamic range.
There is 7.5 stops of
image stabilisation in this camera
which is the world's best image stabilisation.
I know what you're thinking,
yes, it does have two
UHS-II SD card slots.
On the left side you've also
got a standard microphone and
headphone jack for recording and
monitoring audio.
As well as, HDMI, USB and remote shutter ports.
On the front, there is a
9 volt DC power input for
external power and a screwlock
PC sync port too.
Just like all the buttons and dials
on this camera, the rubber doors feel
really solid and everything has a good click to it.
This camera feaures an IPX1
weather resistant grade.
This is the first camera with
any IPX rating for their weather
resistance, which means that this camera
is seriously weather resistant.
Even with the rubber doors
for the microphone input and the
headphone jack open, this camera is
still fully weather resistant.
The camera also features leading
dust resistant and heat management systems,
in the body, which ensure that your
camera still works even in the
most testing conditions.
This camera includes a 50MP
resolution mode which is now usable Handheld,
thanks to the new Motion Blur Reduction mode.
One final stand out feature for us
was the Live ND feature.
This means you can set your camera
to up to 5 stops of neutral density.
This means no loss in image quality
and much less accessories to carry
around with you.
Thanks for watching, I've been Jacob
