This $300 Street Photography Camera Is Still The GOAT

This somewhat forgotten about camera included some pretty ground-breaking technology when it was first released. As a result, over 10 years later, this camera is still very capable, even by 2024 standards. And priced at around $300, I think the Olympus OM-D E-M1 is one of the best mirrorless cameras you can buy on a budget.

The EM-5 MK II is my all time favorite Olympus Camera. 📷 But the EM-1 is still way ahead of its time. Shame that OM Systems isn’t swinging for the fences in terms of innovation.

@gregfeeler6910 Ай бұрын

From my read of today's camera market OM System is just as innovative as current tech allows, and is still out pacing other makers. They have by far the best IBIS - still - and the most advanced computational photography tech, and the best rated weatherproofing available from anyone. For good or bad, digital cameras are now a relatively mature technology - at least until some breakthrough sensor is developed - and there just aren't the opportunities for "break through" cameras like ten years ago when the likes of the E-M5 and E-M1 really were revolutionary. No one is making such advances anymore, and for that reason.

@AllDay3004 Ай бұрын

@@gregfeeler6910 I believe they need a full frame line of this series and the Pen series that can implement some of these cutting edge features. It should utilize the same Leica L mount as Panasonic. A full frame camera, with this type of design, just slightly bigger would be a major hit.

@gregfeeler6910 Ай бұрын

@@AllDay3004 With all respect I strongly disagree - OM System should not add any FF cameras whatsoever. Why not? Well, first, the last thing the world needs is yet another FF camera system. Are there there already not too many such cameras in a shrinking market? Secondly, OM Digital Solutions is the smallest of all the major camera manufactures and simply does not have the resources to spend diluting their brand when they need instead to upgrade the E-M10 and PEN series, and keep leading in technology. They just can't afford to go head-to-head with Nikon/Canon/Sony/Fuji in the FF market. And, thirdly, they are budling a brand around the inherent size and weight advantages of the MFT format, and with their industry-leading environmental sealing, are already the most portable and rugged camera system for any out-of-studio photography. To launch a FF line would be as much as to say "we were lying to you about MFT". Every format has it's advantages and disadvantages relative to some other format. For me, MFT is a perfect fit and I need and want OMDS to keep the MFT faith as Panasonic certainly isn't. When they used a FF body for the G9II that was a very troubling signal to me that they are not committed enough to MFT to build a proper body for one of their two flagship cameras.

I had two original E-M1s (still have one of them) and it's all you say it is, and truly is an amazing value for the money today. I have to say, though, that I think the Olympus E-M1 Mk II is probably one of, if not the best, overall bang for the buck used camera available today. It has several major upgrades over the Mk I, including a 20mp sensor, much faster processor, High Res 80Mp capability, and much more. And, clean examples doesn't cost all that much more than the Mk I. It might make for an interesting video if you were to compare the two. Thanks for an excellent presentation.

That is because a lot of people really do think that these noisy old sensors produce ' film like ' images. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The price of a minty used one was from MPB or WEX was about £380.00 ~ £415.00. I decided against it as the fixed lens was very limiting for my photography. Now some fool is asking for over grand for a used one on ebay. Good luck to them.

Hi Tom, I owned this camera, purchased it brand new back in the day. This omd Em1 original has one serious flaw, the left lug will eventually come off when you least expect it. This can cost you more than the camera body alone if a valuable lens is attached. Olympus made up for this design flaw with the much better omd E-M1 mark II in 2017, get that camera instead, you will thank me later.

At an airshow I was in the process of changing lenses and a rather large child ran into me at full tilt. The camera came out of my hand and landed on the tarmac on one of the strap lugs and the lens hood of the 40-150 Pro. The hood broke and there was a crack in the body around the lug. The camera and lens both still functioned perfectly. I fixed the crack with two part epoxy to seal the crack and bought a new hood

It's crazy how Olympus and Fujifilm both had the EXACT same pattern in the 2010s. 2014 : release a camera that is flawed, but recognized as a very good mirrorless camera, with unique features and really good image quality (X-T1 and E-M1) 2016 : release a follow-up to that camera that is fixing ALL the problems that this previous version had, considerably bumped up the image quality, autofocus performance and can now be used in much more serious video production 2018 and beyond : never being able to release a camera that would completely bury the second version (there hasn't been any significant change in image quality between the X-T2 and X-T3, 4 and 5 (even despite the 40MP), same thing about the E-M1mark II : it had a pretty damn good 20MP MFT sensor, and there hasn't been a change in image quality since then. Even the OM-1 mk II still uses a 20MP sensor with very similar noise levels and DR values as the E-M1ii) 2nd gen camera of both brands are becoming actual sweet spots, and the "all I would ever need" camera for a LOT of people while the 1st gen camera gets re-discovered as a forgotten gem. I have both the X-T1 and 2, I wish I wasn't invested in so much camera systems already otherwise I would have got both the E-M1 and E-M1ii already !

@rodkraft95 Ай бұрын

The E-M1 ii seems to be insanely good for the price: weather sealing, dual SD slot, realiable autofocus for video and photography after the last firmware upgrade, the 20MP sensor and a lot of pro features. I'm considering buying a used one. Still can't decide between it and the G9 though, but the PDAF seems very appealing, also it's like 50-100$ cheaper than the G9.

Thank you for this video. You are right about the EMD1. I’ve seen this body at ~$300. Cheap as chips. The body is virtually indestructible. Legendary IBIS. Very pleasing, to my eyes, colors though a bit vibrant vs. accurate. Instead I purchased an EMD1Mii for $400. For ~$100 more some very important upgrades. My favorite is the PDAF. This body seems a good compromise between price and features. I’m sorry for going yes but………on you. If M43 is a system you want to use or explore, the EMD1 or Mii is an inexpensive way to try the system out. At the prices these bodies are being bought & sold for, you can try the system for a small amount of money. Don’t like it? You can sell these bodies for virtually the same as you bought them for. Plus the Olympus lenses are very good. Minor gripe about both bodies. The on/off switch is on the left side of the top plate. Olympus ran out of real estate on the right side so where else could they place the on/off switch? That being said, for me, an awkward place to place that switch. Since we only use the switch for on & off it isn’t the end of the world as we know it. No camera is perfect. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Did they sort out the banding issues that happened at high ISO with the E-M5 when using the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 for the E-M1? That's why I had to change to the 14mm 2.5 and the Olympus 17mm 1.8 when I had my E-M5. Recently rebought the E-M5 and unfortunately it's one with the sticky shutter at high shutter speeds. That's okay, I'll just use it in low light with the amazing IBIS :)

Olympus changed to CMOS sensors way before the original E-M5 and E-M1 were introduced. I owned examples of the early CCD Four Thirds bodies and most of everything from Olympus & OM Systems since, and in my opinion all this hype about CCD sensors having some special looks is just smoke and mirrors. Any creditable camera company strives for accurate color reproduction irrespective of the sensor in use. None that I know of, certainly no Olympus, were trying to emulate some "film look" as they were striving to advance digital camera technology. Just my thoughts on this. Peace.

One of my two main cameras is my EM5 Mark 2 and I love my Olympus cameras. Much like my Pentax you get alot more for your money than you do with the bigger manufacturers. I am not sure about the future of the brand though. OM Systems is owned by a company whose business model is more about flipping formerly failing businesses or product divisions and not really about being a serious player in any particular market. For example they took over the Vaio line of laptops that was formerly Sony. They brought that product line back to profitability but most people barely know that product line is even still around.

Olympus made a tons of impressive cameras, I still don't know why they aren't more popular than bigger brands here in Indonesia, it's just really rare to find E-M1 in good condition for a cheap price. Maybe because most people will go for Canon or Nikon (back in the days, mirrorless aren't really popular in here, the popularity of mirrorless started to rise when Canon released the EOS M3). Mostly the prices for well used EM-1 is around ~400$/IDR 6.500.000, still quite affordable for such crazy specs.

The E-M1 is no doubt an amazing camera. I would however pick the mark ii or iii. I do a lot of very dark conditions concert photography, where I need high ISO. With the free software OM Workspace from OM-System, I can use AI Noise Reduction to improve the quality of my high ISO photos to a point, where I don't need expensive photo editing software at all. But, the AI Noise Reduction in OM Workspace only works with RAW files from the E-M5 iii, E-M1 ii, E-M1 iii, E-M1X, OM-5, OM-1 and OM-1 ii. I'm currently using an E-M5 iii, and my experiences with the AI Noise Reduction in OM Workspace are so good, I'm saving up for an E-M1 iii in as good condition as possible as it seems to be the best option for my specific needs.

Somehow I was never happy with my M43 equipment (OM-10 MkIII, EM-5 Mk II, ...). I always had the feeling that the color of the images looked "flat", skies had a tendency to look cyan, dynamic range and low light capabilities were limited. Yes, you can partially compensate that in raw editing, but my Sony, Nikon and Canon full frame cameras never had these issues. All in all I prefer having lower noise, better color and more dynamic range - even if I have to carry heavier equipment. So sorry, but M43 is definitively not for me.

Love the video, dislike that Filmora is the sponsor of the video.

Mpb is overpriced now. Looking at a Sony a7cii body and it’s more expensive used than buying direct from Sony. Wtaf…

Aye mate have you seen the prices, blah, blah 😊. I’ve got one of those EM-1 cameras that suffered the EM-1 rear dial death. After a bit of to and fro with Olympus, their technical support had the camera picked up, repaired and returned within a week 😮. Also, I originally bought the camera second hand but registered it nevertheless. As a former technical editor I really think you should have said a few words about the often unreliable rear dial. It was and is a known issue and not mentioning it might lead to a lot of disappointment, not to mention the irreparable damage to your reputation and credibility as a reviewer 😂. There’s nothing wrong with flagging the downsides as long as it’s fair and factual. Also, how very dare you lump me in with the social media crowd. My photography features in wedding albums and on the walls in exhibitions. I’ve even had a photograph appear in the early days of Olympus Magazine. But apart from all that, thank you for the review. ❤

Thanks for the comment. Though, the mistake you've made is assuming I have any credibility to diminish in the first place.

Pls stop hyping Olympus. I love my secrets secret. I always love the disapproving look of a Fuji fanboy. And you forgot to tell that lenses are light and cheap because all the electronics are in the body.

Uuuuuhhhh.... you used the words "Micro Four Thirds" and "stronger than ever" in one sentenced! Next shitstorm incoming... ;)

16 MP for 300 Used is a bit too much imo. There are definitely cheaper caneras with more mp from brands like nikon and sony on mpb.

If you can't get good photos out of a camera with 16 megapixels, the problem is not the camera.

I can get an 48mp camera from Aliexpress for £52.39. Will that be better than this Olympus?

Sure. I'll give up 4 years of hard work, dedication and, what is now, my full time job, just because you think me making these videos has the power to dicate global camera prices, without actually offering a shred of evidence to corroborate your theory. Good one. Seems rational. 🤡🤣

This is nothing but romanticizing an old bygone product. While the features were great, especially focus stacking, the image quality is borderline useless after iso 1600 unless you spend hours recovering shadows and detail in LR. My old Nikon d800 had miles ahead image quality than this guy. Sold off after 6 months.
