Manual of product E-M1X
Editorial note
The Olympus E-M1X stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to a 20.4 MP sensor and a maximum resolution of 5184 x 3888 pixels, allowing for the capture of every detail with remarkable precision. The electronic viewfinder also offers a resolution of 2.36 million pixels, making it easier to compose photos accurately. Performance is enhanced by advanced focusing modes such as Multi Point Auto Focus and Tracking Auto Focus, making shooting more responsive and precise. In terms of connectivity, the Olympus E-M1X is equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi, which facilitates sharing and transferring images to other devices. Additionally, the nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) battery technology ensures good durability, ideal for extended photography sessions. However, the weight of 997 g with the battery may be a drawback for some users, making it less convenient to carry during long sessions. The lack of a tilting screen also limits flexibility when shooting from difficult angles. Furthermore, the unspecified digital and optical zoom may disappoint those seeking high zoom performance. Manual focusing may not suit everyone, especially users who prefer quick auto focus. Finally, the absence of modern features like contactless payment may seem like a drawback, even though the value for money remains good considering the features offered. In summary, the Olympus E-M1X is an excellent choice for photographers looking for exceptional image quality and advanced features, but some aspects like weight and manual focus should be considered before purchase.Score details
