<p>Last year, Olympus delighted the photographic community with the E-M5, an extremely capable yet usable micro four-thirds camera and it didn't hurt that it was easy on the eyes. Now they're iterating on the series by adding more of everything but is that really the right way to go?</p><p>The new E-M1 is actually, as Olympus explained, more of a successor to the higher-end but not as popular E-5, a high-end four-thirds (no "micro") camera from 2010. Yes, these model names are just a little bit confusing.</p><p>And certainly, the E-M1 has more high-end performance than the E-M5. It has an updated 16-megapixel sensor that gives sharper images, the electronic viewfinder has been improved (it appears much larger inside the eyepiece), and its specs in general are better. Direct comparisons of this camera to its predecessor will definitely show noticeable differences.</p><p>The hand grip has grown quite a bit since the EM-5.</p><p><a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/olympus-e-m1-8C11111042">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.gizmag.com/olympus-omd-em1-dslr/29015/">Has Olympus killed the DSLR with the launch of the Olympus OM-D E-M1?</a> (Gizmag)</p><p><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/10/us-olympus-mirrorless-idUSBRE9890FM20130910">Olympus pins future hopes on mirrorless format</a> (Reuters)</p><p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/10/4712962/olympus-om-d-e-m1-micro-four-thirds-camera">The E-M1 is Olympus&#039; new Micro Four Thirds camera powerhouse</a> (The Verge)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dzyLO6pBdgecQ8MuBKcyBd7bwJcIM&ned=us">65 additional articles.</a></p>
