Guest post: why the Olympus OM-D E-M1X was the best choice for me

Why the Olympus OM-D E-M1X was the best choice for me

By Thomas Stirr smallsensorphotography.com (check out also his previous guest posts)

Choosing camera gear is always an intensely personal decision. What works for one photographer, may not be a good fit for another. This article discusses why I chose to move to the Olympus OM-D E-M1X along with a selection of M.Zuiko PRO lenses.


Olympus OM-D E-M1X + M.Zuiko PRO 40-150 f/2.8 mm @ 150 mm hand-held, efov 300 mm, f/3.5, 0.5 sec, ISO-400

I should state upfront that my main client work is producing safety videos. I need more, rather than less depth-of-field, for the client work I do. Smaller sensor cameras are an excellent fit for me. Since selling all of my full frame gear back in July 2015, I had been using Nikon 1 equipment exclusively for my client and personal work without issue. Recently my camera requirements shifted in a number of ways and I needed to look at producing 4K video, as well as some other factors. This led me to investigate some options, and ultimately deciding on the Olympus OM-D E-M1X.


Olympus OM-D E-M1X + M.Zuiko PRO 40-150 f/2.8 mm with MC-14 teleconverter @ 210 mm hand-held, efov 420 mm, f/6.3, 1/1600, ISO-200
