Will you invest your $3K in buying off the Olympus E-M1X Camera ?
Do share your thoughts in the comment section below
Lot of hype all around, paid bloggers and reviewers creating lot of hype for this camera… Fact of the matter is Olympus E-M1X AF system and sensor remains same as of Olympus E-M1 Mark II… So why should I invest my hard earned $3K in getting M4/3 format camera ?
Instead of that I can buy Sony A7II and 27-70 Tammy RXD Lens.
Steven,
Because you can get 50MP handheld Hi Res shot, not just with more pixels but, firstly, with deeeeeper color depth and much better capabilities in RAW treatments. Because sony colors are not olympus colors… Because the lenses are twice smaller and lighter for a givent (esp. large) focal length. Now this is a question of taste and needs.
But for some, it make a lot sens to get olympus instead of sony. for others, it is the opposite.
Cheers
