Olympus OM-D E-M1: Mirrorless Perfection for Serious Photographers [REVIEW]
Summary
If theres a mirrorless camera that can replace a DSLR, its probably the OM-D E-M1, the successor to last years critically acclaimed OM-D EM-5 (dont let the higher number fool you, its the older model). While the upgraded electronic viewfinder is a welcome addition, the 3-inch (1.04-million dot) tiltable touchscreen is just as responsive and crisp as youd expect from a premium product. With Photo Story, you can quickly create collages in different preset aspect ratios (1:1, 4:3 and 16:9) à la the popular smartphone app Pic Stitch. Lastly, the E-M1 has a handy high dynamic range (HDR) mode that, thankfully, isnt buried beneath layers of menus. Taking a dramatic photo with intense light and dark details is as easy as selecting the HDR mode and pressing the shutter button.
