Olympus has been teasing its new OM-D E-M1X for a few weeks now, but only now has everything been made official. The OM-D E-M1X arrives with a refreshed design, some impressive tech and ambitions to edge out Canon and Nikon’s most senior full-frame DSLRs from the pro photographer’s kit bag.

After numerous teaser videos and rumors from Olympus, it's finally taken the wraps off its new flagship mirrorless camera, the OM-D E-M1X. Olympus believes its latest pro-orientated Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera delivers enough in terms of industry-leading speed, performance, reliability and high-quality image output to rival full-frame DSLRs (and mirrorless cameras we're guessing). While built-in vertical grips are nothing new on pro-spec DSLRs like Canon's EOS-1D X Mark II and Nikon's D5, the Olympus OM-D E-M1X is the first mirrorless camera to feature such a design. This is intended to offer a secure grip when shooting portrait-format images, while the improved ergonomics over the E-M1 Mark II see a deeper finger rest for both horizontal and vertical shooting, which is said to reduce fatigue when shooting for long periods of time. Olympus has also overhauled the layout, shape, and height of all buttons, while levers on the OM-D E-M1X have been completely … [Read more...] about Built to rival full-frame DSLRs: meet the Olympus OM-D E-M1X
