If you have dreamed of owning a pro-grade mirrorless camera but have been put off by the sky-high prices, this deal is for you. One of the toughest cameras ever made, the Olympus E-M1X has dropped in price to just $1,699!
The Olympus E-M1X is a camera that I have just picked up myself. After using Micro Four Thirds for years (E-M1 II and E-M1 III, which is also on sale) I left the platform but have recently returned thanks to the amazing performance to size and price ratios on offer. Thanks to many updates, the E-M1X is more than powerful enough for most wildlife and sports photographers out there.
The 20-megapixel sensor delivers stunning images and thanks to new bird tracking AI, capturing gorgeous images of birds in flight is easy. Let’s take a quick look at the specs of one of the toughest cameras around.
Olympus E-M1X tech specs

This pro-body camera from Olympus boasts an IPX1 weather sealing rating. This means the camera can withstand freezing temperatures, sweltering heat, howling winds, torrential rains, snow, dust and more. I have used the E-M1X in some of the nastiest conditions and it just keeps going. If you’re like me and you like to get out and create no matter what, this camera is a Godsend.
Thanks to the performance of this camera it’s well suited to birding, wildlife photography, and sports photography. The Olympus E-M1X also features built-in GPS for geotagging, it charges via USB-C, it has a zero-lag pro-capture mode and dual UHS-II card slots. With a sale price of $1,699, the E-M1X is an absolute bargain for photographers who need to use the toughest cameras around.
The E-M1 III is on sale too!
Don’t forget that the Olympus E-M1 III is also on sale for just $1,499. This is the baby brother to the E-M1X but it has a few party tricks of its own. Not only does the E-M1 III have incredible weather sealing, but it also features the same image sensor, and it can be used for handheld hi-res shots, which makes it perfect for those who love to print large images.
The Autofocus system is quite unique in the Olympus E-M1 III as well. It features Starry Sky autofocus which enables the camera to focus on individual stars in the night sky. Then you have built-in ND filters to play with as well as an Olympus gem in the Live Composite mode. At $1,499 this camera is a no-brainer.
