You’ve probably gotten a heavy dose of info from me, but I’d like to add some final (really the last?) Thoughts… Good luck on your choice, you really can’t lose with either E-M1 or X-T1.

Again, i would probably buy both E-M1 AND X-T1 if I had the money, but I can only commit to 1 system and for me the E-M1 has better bang for the $$. Let’s keep things positive and stick to the +’s of both cameras to see what makes them good… in my opinion. Off the top of my head right now, I’ll start with the shorter list of likes of X-T1 over the E-M1. 1a) X-Trans APS-C Sensor – Great higher IQ for higher ISO & Low Light. 1b) Related to the first point, but because of the larger sensor size, you’ll get more shallow depth of field. 2a) Design and form factor – Although I still find the dials slightly less efficient in overall camera use, I still really like the look and feel of them. 4) Separate dedicated Exposure Lock & Focus Lock Buttons. 1) 5-Axis In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS).

The First Micro Four Third Lenses You Should Buy. The state of Micro Four Thirds lenses is really an embarrassment of riches right now. Olympus and Panasonic have created a wide array of lenses that are almost all remarkably affordable and of incredible optical quality. Knowing where to start can be really overwhelming, so we’re going to suggest a number of lenses—and you’ll be able to grab almost all of them and still stay under a $2000 budget. The Technical Stuff: Ok, first up, we have to hit a bit of technical mumbo jumbo here. You don’t need to know this, but it’s useful to have on tap, so you can understand other things later on. Just a quick note about lenses on Micro Four Thirds—and indeed, almost all mirrorless cameras. The depth of field of a lens is tied directly to sensor size: the larger the sensor, the smaller depth of field you can achieve.

This also ties to the “crop factor” of the sensor, as well. That’s what the crop factor amounts to—it increases the effective focal length of a lens. The Zoom: Long zoom Stabilized zoom.
