Reviewer verdict

Across 17 YouTube reviews, the OM System OM-1 earns an Index score of 4.2/5, ranking #7 among Mirrorless Cameras. Reviewers most often praise its build quality and design, image quality, autofocus performance, while the most common criticisms concern other, image quality.

The OM-1 is widely praised for its robust, weather-sealed build and ergonomic design, with reviewers repeatedly noting the comfortable grip, comprehensive button layout, fully articulating touchscreen and a very high-resolution electronic viewfinder (mentioned across many reviews). Image quality and stabilization are frequent highlights, with consistent mentions of the new 20MP BSI stacked sensor, up to seven (and in some cases eight) stops of IBIS, improved high-ISO performance and a fast high-res shooting mode that yields cleaner, higher-resolution files. Autofocus and performance receive strong agreement as strengths: reviewers cite a major AF redesign with 1,053 cross-type points, faster, more accurate tracking, very high burst speeds (up to 50 fps with continuous AF and up to 120 fps in limited modes) and a powerful new processor enabling blackout-free shooting. Video and usability features are also commonly appreciated, including internal 4K60 10-bit recording, extended recording limits, built-in electronic ND (up to ND64), improved menus and overall portability from the Micro Four Thirds system.

Criticisms are less numerous but consistent: many reviewers express disappointment with the 20 megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor resolution, wishing for higher megapixels and noting limits in low-light/dynamic-range performance and visible noise at higher ISOs. A number of reviewers reported ergonomics and control annoyances — fiddly or poorly placed buttons and dials for some users, viewfinder or display quirks, and some menu/control panel limitations such as Super Control Panel not exposing all computational modes. A smaller group noted autofocus or tracking hiccups in certain situations and video-focused AF limitations, and there are occasional complaints about battery/accessory availability and the lack of a physical ND (replaced by electronic ND).

updated menu improves legibility and makes it a little bit easier to navigate, menu explanations as to why certain menu items might be grayed out ▶ OM-System OM-1 --- First-Look @ 3:03
my favorite feature about it is that not only is it organized way better than other camera companies out there I'm looking at you Sony and Fuji if something is grayed out it will actually show you why it is grayed out so that you can go in fix it correct it and use that mode rather than spend hours searching on Reddit why that's grayed out and what you need to do to fix it ▶ The BEST Micro Four Thirds Camera?

Portability and Size (19)

the body size is kind of an am one mark iii but with the grip of the x so you have this small um perfect body ▶ OM SYSTEM OM-1 Review for Wildlife Photography @ 2:31
small size ▶ Olympus OM-1 Review @ 6:45

lightweight ▶ Olympus OM-1 Review @ 0:58
amazing small lightweight 35 millimeter camera ▶ Olympus OM-1 Review @ 17:32
very small size ▶ Olympus OM-1 Review @ 1:01
paired with any of their Wildlife lenses available it's an incredibly light setup ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 8:51
designed for active people ▶ OM System OM-1 Complete Review | Before you buy! @ 7:17
the om1 along with the olympus system they've kept it very small because of the micro four thirds design this means that you can get a 300 mil here which on full frame camera is the equivalent of a 600 mil and it's an f4 if you were to look at a 600 mil f4 you'd be looking at a lens this big and probably three times the weight now being able to take that out in the field and carry it handheld makes such a big difference ▶ OM System OM-1 Hands-On Video | CameraPro Australia @ 4:26
the setup still felt like it was light the camera body and lens combo gets a full 1 000 millimeters of reach which is insane when you think about how light this is ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 9:16
One of the big advantages of this camera is of course the size and weight. Its easy to travel with and bring along. It doesn't weight to much, it doesn't take up to much space in your backpack. Highly recommended for hiking and stuff like that ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 0:27

The OM-1 with the 17mm attached is a really lightweight setup to take on a hike like this. And it delivers really great results ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 2:29
small ▶ OM System OM-1 @ 6:04
portable ▶ OM System OM-1 @ 6:08
it's small it's lightweight it's Compact and all those built-in features render a tripod useless and you really don't need one with this camera ▶ The BEST Micro Four Thirds Camera? OM System OM-1 Review @ 11:57

Value for Money (7)

this camera is probably the best value for money for flying bird photography ▶ OM System OM-1 –The BEST MFT for Photography? @ 5:57
something that I do value a lot is brand relationship with their customers to which I have to say om systems does a great job of ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 3:48

Cons (77)

Other (25)

I do miss the 120fps i had on my former system, but 60fps is absolutely usable ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 2:06
what was even more frustrating to me that was when I had it locked on if I let go and re-push the shutter button to take another shot the camera would often lose its focus even if the composition was incredibly simple and try to lock onto something else ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 7:24
Face or eye detection is a completely separate function from subject detection AF and is locked out if you engage subject detection. ▶ OM System OM-1 Review : Best DSLR 2023 @ 3:28
that combined with only a 20 megapixel sensor will keep me and most likely many other full-frame users away from om systems since this is the best the camera has to offer ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 10:50
Computational modes are also not accessible from the super control panel. ▶ OM System OM-1 Review : Best DSLR 2023 @ 6:43
video wasn't quite as good however in video it seemed to be more 40 to 50 accurate to me so not quite as reliable enough to shoot video with in my opinion ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 8:25
the only big thing holding it back in my opinion is the literal sensor size being so small ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 11:29
Stack CMOS design only delivers a readout speed twice as fast as that of its predecessor (around 1 to 125th seconds, twice as long as the fastest full frame stack CMOS chips). ▶ OM System OM-1 Review : Best DSLR 2023 @ 1:52
Super control panel not updated to reflect the camera's newer capabilities (no way of accessing or selecting the camera subject detection modes). ▶ OM System OM-1 Review : Best DSLR 2023 @ 6:25
Here the ISO are at 6400 and there are still good details despite the noise levels are quite visible here ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 5:06
the om1 really just disappoints me and how the low light capabilities are ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 10:46
not so much in love with the look of those videos, find it a little bit digital ▶ OM System OM-1 Complete Review | Before you buy! @ 5:01
very easy to have blown out highlights ▶ OM System OM-1 Complete Review | Before you buy! @ 4:11
find still this digital look of micro four thirds a little bit visible ▶ OM System OM-1 Complete Review | Before you buy! @ 5:37
Small control points may be difficult to operate for people with larger fingers. ▶ OM System OM-1 Review : Best DSLR 2023 @ 4:58
dynamic range has some issues in shadows or in dark parts of the image you can find a lot of noise when you boost your iso ▶ OM System OM-1 Complete Review | Before you buy! @ 3:40
specific limitations that are known in micro four thirds system ▶ OM System OM-1 Complete Review | Before you buy! @ 8:01
The only time on my trip I needed a wider aperture was here at lago di carezza in Italy. I couldn't get the hole scene and reflection in the frame because it was not possible to move further away from the scene ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 5:52
Here the OM-1 really gets challenged. This photo was taken at ISO 4000 with the 17mm f/1.2, wide open. There are noise, but its absolutely acceptable ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 2:59
Its not on par with my old system, I had the Sony A1 before. And the video on that looks fantastic. Really sharp and crispy. It also looks really good on this system, but I can see the difference ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 7:08
The only thing i maybe could have used, was a little wider Lens to on this trip ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 7:45
As i showed you in the photos and video here Of the Lago di Carezza, I had some problems getting far enough away from the scene To get it all in the frame ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 8:01
Of course it has limitations on this sensor size ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 0:49
It is very dark down here and this photo are taken at ISO 20000. Actually not as bad as I expected and a usable photo for documentation ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 4:11
Here i really are at the limit of acceptable noise ▶ OM-1 Camera Travel Adventure & Review: Unveiling some of Eur @ 3:29

Image Quality (15)

some of you wished for a higher resolution ▶ OM SYSTEM OM-1 Review for Wildlife Photography @ 6:38
the grain is very noticeably worse even when exposed properly ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 5:42
the micro four thirds sensor ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 4:18
where I was let down though wasn't low light and noise control quality ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 5:30
i'm disappointed that this camera still only has 20 megapixels and i know it's enough for many of you and for many uh situations but still it's year 2022 and i would like to see at least 25 or 30 megapixels here ▶ OM System OM-1 –The BEST MFT for Photography? @ 6:07
I knew that this had a 20 megapixel sensor so this is pretty self-explanatory just as like my s52 review two months ago when you're down in those low 20s and megapixels it's not ideal but it's workable ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 5:05
using the live composite if you are moving around a little bit you will find that it is going to drag depending on how slow your shutter is because it's literally giving you a live feed of what it's going to be like say if you're shooting at 10 20 30 seconds so if you're a crowd of people and you're moving the camera around you will see them all sway and start to become motion blurs ▶ OM System OM-1 Hands-On Video | CameraPro Australia @ 3:09
iso 2000 isn't great on micro four thirds generally (although improved signal to noise ratio) ▶ Camera Review | OM System OM-1 @ 6:11
micro four thirds sensor on this camera obviously not as big as a full frame sensor ▶ OM System OM-1 @ 3:46
we get some blurring of the objects in the foreground so take that with a grain of salt ▶ The BEST Micro Four Thirds Camera? OM System OM-1 Review @ 9:34
loss in detail at iso 3200 on the em1x ▶ OM-System OM-1 Review - Is it any good? @ 5:36
high iso raw files need color rendition improvement ▶ 6 Month Review of the OM-1 by a Wildlife Photographer / Came @ 12:21
the problem with this is that if anything is moving within the frame like these leaves and grasses they will blur out a little bit with the high-res feature because it takes so long to record ▶ The BEST Micro Four Thirds Camera? OM System OM-1 Review @ 6:44
this is a micro four thirds 20 megapixel sensor why they decided to keep this as a micro four thirds camera is kind of perplexing and confusing when so many other cameras on the market are smaller than this camera and also boast a PSC or full frame sensors ▶ The BEST Micro Four Thirds Camera? OM System OM-1 Review @ 5:05
color reproduction at high iso numbers gets weird ▶ 6 Month Review of the OM-1 by a Wildlife Photographer / Came @ 3:22

Build Quality and Design (13)

the other thing is the d-pad on the back of the camera i'd like to see a third dial here then i could have a separate dials for my shutter speed aperture and iso like i have on my other cameras that have three command dials ▶ OM System OM-1 –The BEST MFT for Photography? @ 3:08
the first is the power switch which is here on the left side of the viewfinder ▶ OM System OM-1 –The BEST MFT for Photography? @ 2:30
i find it odd that i can i cannot program any function for the power suites if i use the function lever as the the power suites so it would be nice if i could program something also on the on the power suites after that ▶ OM System OM-1 –The BEST MFT for Photography? @ 2:48
does not display any information about the set aperture or shutter speed within the viewfinder ▶ Olympus OM-1 Review @ 15:20
film advance does not feel as high quality ▶ Olympus OM-1 Review @ 16:17
a little bit fiddly for big hands ▶ OM-System OM-1 Review - Is it any good? @ 2:08
one thing that I'm not a big fan of is this AF button and your picture button on here it's kind of hard to feel whether you're actually touching this or not because they're concave and you can't really feel too well which button is which that would be really hard to do when you're wearing gloves ▶ The BEST Micro Four Thirds Camera? OM System OM-1 Review @ 1:44

Ease of Use (6)

a lot of pictures when you come home, going to be tough to edit ▶ OM SYSTEM OM-1 Review for Wildlife Photography @ 9:55
may not be the simplest in its class mainly due to its sheer amount of features ▶ My Totally Biased OM-1 Review - RED35 Review @ 4:59
the workspace in my opinion it's a little bit clunky and slow to use so i don't really like it that much ▶ OM System OM-1 –The BEST MFT for Photography? @ 8:19
no auto exposure mode ▶ Olympus OM-1 Review @ 14:24
you'll also end up with a lot of frames and that's gonna take a fair bit of your post processing time to filter out the few good frames that you have on your card ▶ OM System OM-1 –The BEST MFT for Photography? @ 5:45
when shooting in manual mode the camera won't keep the settings tied together between photo manual mode and custom movie mode ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 2:50

Autofocus Performance (4)

while the om1 could constantly detect the subjects for some reason I had more difficulty than I should have had in actually locking onto the subject when focusing ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 7:07
the one other thing that I can't say I was over the top impressed by was the autofocus on this camera ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 6:07
it failed much more often than I would expect it to ▶ OM-1 Review for Wildlife/Bird Photography @ 7:17
when it comes to auto focus on this camera I wasn't Blown Away yes there are some cool features on it that allow you to track like faces eyes anything like that but the auto focus tracking on birds other moving objects wasn't the best it's probably going to be closer to the bottom of the lineup when you're talking about camera companies and making different camera models so the autofocus isn't great ▶ The BEST Micro Four Thirds Camera? OM System OM-1 Review @ 10:13

Battery Life (4)
