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

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.

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.
