Tough mirrorless built-in 5 axis shake compensation retro design "OM - D" actual machine review

Olympus' mirrorless machine that there is a legend inside the company "I dropped it on the falls, but it did not break if I dropped it on a fall"OM-D". Officially it is up to the drip-proof specification, so it is not necessary to say "it will be OK even if it is submerged", so it is necessary to be careful, but it is fact that we are doing thorough ceiling sealing of the exterior parts. Furthermore, because it is a 5-axis camera shake correction and electronic viewfinder equipped with 1.44 million pixels, it is a fairly powerful model, so what kind of finish is it?CP +I went to the actual touch-and-try at the venue to make sure.

The huge banner of "OM - D" is to see first if you get to the booth of Olympus. I feel the company's enthusiasm for this product.


There is a tremendous number of people in the row of Touch and Try and it is waiting for 30 minutes.


I reached the actual machine. It is a retro film camera-like design, but the contents are state of the art. Number of effective pixels 1. 160.5 million pixels With a 4/3 type MOS sensor, it is possible to shoot still images with JPEG, RAW and full HD movie shooting at 30 fps.


Looking from the front like this. The central "Tongari head" with built-in electronic viewfinder is a feature not seen in mirrorless machines of other companies.


On the back is a 3-inch display compatible with touch operation.


Looking from above it looks like this. The atmosphere of the dial is also looking like an old camera.


Since you can change the angle of the LCD screen, it is easy to shoot from low angle and high angle.


Even if you touch the screen, the shutter will turn off.


The bottom is like this. Since the screw hole for fixing to the tripod is made of metal, it should be hard to wear even when used repeatedly.


It actually looks like this. Since the model was held with margin in men, it should be easy to grip with female hands. The weight at the time of shooting is 425 grams.


When you remove the lens, you can see the sensor in the snow. Since there is nothing to protect such as a mirror, care must be taken not to hit anything or dust on the sensor part when replacing the lens. The lens mount is Micro Four Thirds.


Optional power battery holder "HLD - 6 (estimated actual price around 30,000 yen)". When used in conjunction with the main body battery, continuous shooting of about 650 sheets becomes possible.


Looking from the side like this. It has a shutter that is used when shooting in portrait orientation.


It looks like this from behind.


Release is scheduled for March 2012, estimated actual price is around 100,000 yen. Even if you buy it for design but also for outdoor it will be satisfactory finish, so please check it if you are considering purchasing a mirrorless machine.
