Olympus OM-D E-M1X
Dual TruePic VIII processors drive 60 fps electronic shutter bursts and a 121-point all-cross-type phase-detect AF system, while the integrated vertical grip houses dual batteries for extended shooting. The 5-axis IBIS delivers up to 7.5 stops of compensation, and the weather-sealed, 997g body is built for harsh conditions without needing extra accessories. This camera is best for sports and wildlife photographers who need a rugged, high-speed setup with all-day power in a single body.
