“Bottom line: if you want to feel like you're shooting with a DSLR, but still want the size and agility of a mirrorless camera, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option than the E-M1.”

“The E-M1 is one of the most enthusiast-oriented mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras that we've ever seen, and offers excellent performance in a relatively small package while sitting at the middle of an impressive Micro Four Thirds ecosystem of established lenses and accessories.”

“The E-M1 offers the same handling and build qualities of its rivals, but with a distinct size advantage and with a lens range solely designed for its format."

“Micro for the major leagues! It's seriously impressive that this year's Camera of the Year in the Pro category is a Micro Four Thirds camera. But this shouldn't come as a surprise, because the Olympus E-M1 builds on its incredibly capable predecessor, the E-M5."

“When we got our hands on the pro-oriented Olympus E-M1 mirrorless camera this past September, we immediately earmarked it as one of the year's best."

“Weather-sealed magnesium-alloy body, fast autofocus—even with older standard Four Thirds System lenses—and upgrades to burst shooting, ergonomics, viewfinder, noise suppression, and physical controls mark the improvements of the OM-D E-M1 over last year’s E-M5."

“Mirrorless cameras aren't supposed to be this good. Yet, somehow, Olympus has made a compact interchangeable lens camera so marvelous and drool-worthy that I don't even know where to begin."

“With gorgeous images—even in low light, incredible speed, and a wealth of high-end features, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 is the best Micro Four Thirds camera that money can buy. It's an easy Editors' Choice award winner."
