The editors liked
We tested the E-M1 with the new 12-40mm constant aperture f2.8 Pro lens
Which in itself is a masterpiece of mechanics and optics. Focus is lightning fast and images are excellent for sharpness
Resolution and colour fidelity. The camera feels like a unit costing several thousand dollars more.

The editors didn't like
We tried to find fault
But there is nothing we dislike about the EM1
Fidgety autofocus in low light. Locking mode dial takes some getting used to. Only 30fps in video mode
Shutter button too squishy for our liking
Some noticeable LCD and EVF flickering under fluro lights
LCD not variangle
Some features hard to find
High price
While we like the amount of buttons
This number may confuse people
Screen only pops out at various angles
As per normal with other Olympus cameras
No built-in flash
Colour filtration modes only officially apply to JPEG
