<p>A lot of products come out each week we don't highlight all of them, but all of them make it into The Verge Database. In Spec Sheet, a weekly series, we survey the latest product entries to keep track of the state of the art.</p><p>Earlier this week, Olympus unveiled the E-M1, a Micro Four Thirds camera that lands well on the higher end of the system's price range: $1,399.99, body only. Though the camera doesn't quite retain all of the cool, throwback looks of its predecessor, it does add some really useful features like Wi-Fi, steps up its speed in a few areas, and includes a built-in way to autofocus when adapting lenses built for the original Four Thirds system. But how much of that really matters in a somewhat expensive camera with a relatively small sensor? We're taking a look at what's nearby the E-M1 to see what hole it's hoping to fill.</p><p>A really fast shutter and in-body image stabilization</p><p>With the E-M1, Olympus has built a lot of power into a fairly small package. It can shoot an impressive 10 frames per second, as quickly as 1/8000th of a second, and has an 81-point contrast detection autofocus system that ought to handle well. It also has in-body image stabilization a feature that should mean quite a bit, especially when adapting manual lenses now that it's added focus peaking. Those points all manage to stand above many nearby cameras, but the ultimate decision for many is still likely to hinge on image quality, and a bigger sensor goes a long, long way.</p><p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/13/4727644/spec-sheet-olympus-e-m1-compared-fuji-xpro1-6d-d600">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.reviewstudio.net/679-olympus-introduces-the-om-d-e-m1-its-new-flagship-camera">Olympus introduces the OM-D ...</a> (ReviewStudio.net)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dUDhOcTZEdeNdbMNaSB-zpHrv0gZM&ned=us">2 additional articles.</a></p>
