It has long been a criticism that images taken by Micro Four I Thirds sensors can’t compare to those taken by full-frame rivals. Here’s the thing, though: the Olympus OM-D E-M1X can produce bigger files than a Canon 5DS R, and bigger files than a Nikon D850. In fact, not only can it produce bigger files than any full-frame camera, it can produce bigger files than the current medium-format cameras from Fujifilm and Leica.
Among its many tricks, Olympus’ newest system has an improved High Res Shot mode that can capture
80MP images. If that doesn’t drown out the narrative that Micro Four Thirds isn’t as capable as full-frame, the vast swathe of other features packed into this remarkable camera are just as apt to do the talking.
Rather than offeringsensibilities – giving the body the same pro form factor as the Canon EOS-1D X and the Nikon D5.
