Back from the dark side to E-M1X

[DerekC]

I moved to Nikon D3s & D4 after the disappointing experience with E-M1 Mk1. I thought long and hard before buy Nikon as I had been an Olympus user for years. I have the Mk1 as a walk around camera. D4 too heavy when out walking. In July I got the chance to try the E-M1X at Croft for the BTCC. I was impressed. So when I saw the latest deal on LCE. So this morning I went online and purchased one. Need now to sel my Nikon gear 2 bodies 5 lens and accessories. So glad to be back. Also this is by far the best camera forum.

Welcome back. What was the problem with the mk1

The main issue was the auto focus, I do motorsport and aircraft and it performance was poor. I read many threads from bird photographers with similar problems. Also high ISO quality was not good. So I jump ship to D4 & Sigma 150-600sport & 120-300. But after trying the E-M1X at Croft I knew it was the way to go.
