Cheapest I've ever seen a brand new E-M1X. I love Micro Four Thirds for its computational features and small lenses; amazing for outdoor photography as they're basically bulletproof and have GPS etc. RRP is £1799, and you can sometimes find them between £1200-1450 or so in sales. This is a professional-level camera but it does have a lot of automation if you enable it, for amateur photographers.

Details
The E-M1X remains true to Olympus’ promise to design the most compact and lightweight camera system in its class whilst packed with the latest imaging technologies in a robust casing. With an integrated vertical grip, the E-M1X delivers that extra in secure holding and reliability many professionals were looking for. As the design is the same on both the vertical and horizontal grip, users enjoy the same intuitive hand movements in portrait and landscape format shooting.
Due to a cartridge insert system for two BLH-1 batteries (also used for the E-M1 Mark II) in the E-M1X, users can capture up to 2,580 images before having to recharge. Featuring USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) from up to 100 W power sources, both batteries in the camera body can be fully charged in approximately two hours.
With a new gyro sensor, Olympus has taken their acclaimed 5-axis sync IS to a new level offering up to 7.5 shutter speed steps of compensation1
The OM-D AF system has been completely redeveloped, offering additional focal points and a new intelligent subject detection function to automatically track certain subjects. The high-speed shooting capabilities have been enhanced and anti-flicker shooting has been added. Further improvements include a handheld High Res Shot, a live ND filter functionality as well as a customizable menu, USB powering & charging capabilities and two UHS II SD card slots. In combination with high-quality M.Zuiko lenses, a new wireless flash and the image management software “Olympus Workspace”, the E-M1X is the perfect tool to capture professional results.
Re-devloped autofocus system
The OM-D AF system has been completely re-developed for the E-M1X: building on the 121-point all-cross-type on-chip Phase Detection AF sensor from the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, the AF algorithm has been re-worked and dramatically improved. The E-M1X utilizes AF information from recorded images to enable quick tracking of unpredictable subject movements and changes in subject speed.
High speed performance and excellent image quality
Speed and image quality of the new E-M1X are fueled by a 20.4 MP Live MOS sensor with a new coating in order to deliver improved sensitivity as well as two TruPicVIII high-speed image processors improving fundamental performance factors such as start-up time and recovery time from sleep mode. The dual processor design not only contributes to a faster camera, but also allows the support of two high-speed UHS-II SD card slots and enables the latest shooting functions such as Handheld High Res Shot, Live ND, and Intelligent Subject Detection AF.
Movie capabilities
In addition to professional-quality photos, the new E-M1X is a master at movie-making. It features all the extras videographers need to capture moments as they happen. With the ultra-high Cinema 4K (C4K, 4096 x 2160) movie format, videographers not only have the highest recording resolution to date, but also more flexibility when it comes to postproduction.
The powerful 5-axis IS and electronic stabilization enable refined handheld 4K and C4K video recording with three selectable levels of movement compensation depending on the photographer’s posture and movement.

sorted byIf people interested in this camera aren't too concerned about buying pre-owned, Park have a few pre-owned E-M1 Mark iii with 6 months warranty and a 75 quid off voucher. Works out to be £784 after the voucher.
Most of the features of the EM1X in a smaller body.
With macro and mirror lens

The built in grip also improves the weather sealing. Multiple YouTubers comment on how they'd take this camera out in the poring rain without any protection (using a compatible weather sealed lens, of course).
It's a lot of camera for the money. I have the EM10 mk2 with me and thought I'll upgrade to the Sony A7 mk2 on the recent HotUKDeal on Amazon to experience 'full frame magic'. Now thinking of returning that and going for this, in terms of video, fast autofocus on moving subjects etc this will be in a different league but many reviewers do comment on the lackluster performance of M43 sensors compared to full frame in low light and ISO. I guess if you're into nature/ birding or sports photography this body will be a no-brainer.
I used topaz Denoise AI to remove any noise at hi ISO. Even works well with my Nikon DX2 which is not good in low light but gives me satisfactory results. I'm not a pixel peeper since I'm sure modern cameras will have it beat at hi iso without noise reduction. (edited)
