Olympus introduces new interchangeable lens flagship OM-D E-M1

Olympus is pulling out all the stops for its latest flagship compact system camera, OM-D E-M1, which it believes can take the place of your professional full-frame DSLR. This Micro Four Thirds camera is built with an antialiasing-filter-free 16.3-megapixel Live MOS sensor; Dual Fast autofocus system that combines contrast AF and on-chip phase detection AF for faster focusing depending on the lens that is mounted; and a new TruePic VII image processor for less artifacts and clearer, more sharp images. All of these are housed in a dust-, water-, and now freezeproof camera that can work down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

We had the opportunity to check out the OM-D E-M1 and partner lenses some time ago and the camera really embodies the look and feel of Olympus' E-series Four-Thirds cameras but with all the key features of the popular OM-D and PEN lines.

It is also equipped with a 2.36 million-dot LCD, 1080p/30fps video support, 5-axis image stabilizer, and built-in Wi-Fi. There are also new Zuiko lenses coming out soon including the Zuiko Digital ED 12–40mm f2.8 PRO lens (24–80mm, 35mm equivalent) and the Zuiko Digital ED 40–150mm f2.8 PRO (80–300mm, 35mm equivalent). The OM-D E-M1 will be available next month with an estimated retail price of $1,399.99 for the black body.
