It allows to keep PV going, with more focus towards AI, but keeping be one of the few truly independent places.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 has improved image quality, and with improved handling, as well as an excellent and large electronic viewfinder this should be much more appealing to the professional user. With the addition of built in Wi-Fi, improved handling and controls, and new lenses coming we think the Olympus OM-D E-M1 is all the camera you'll ever need.

The E-M1 has excellent image quality proving its semi-pro level. Its sensor is smaller than the APS-C imagers of its Nikon D7100 and Canon EOS 70D peers, but the difference it makes in real world shooting is hard to spot. You need to put the E-M1 up against a full frame to see a significant difference in image quality

With the OM-D E-M1 Olympus has delivered a truly professional level camera, with the Panasonic GH3 as its top rival.
The E-M1 is splashproof, freezeproof and dustproof, with a magnesium alloy chassis and watertight ports.
The heft of this camera is impressive, without a lens it weighs more than a pound and is more than 5 inches wide. However, it's still vastly smaller than any larger sensor competition (Canon competitor is pictured below):

How is the video quality, compared to GH3?

How is the video quality, compared to GH3?
E-M1 has sensor stabilization, that can be advantage for short clips and manual glass. Otherwise it is not targeted to video guys.

The camera is mostly gorgeous, mostly perfectly balanced and thought out, mostly excellent at what it does and mostly, as I have argued above, at least 'good enough' in terms of IQ. Paired with the excellent 12-40 F2.8 zoom it provides me with something I have never before found.
The in-body IBIS is so good (there's a fly in this ointment that I will later come to) that even with an F2.8 max aperture lens in really quite low light, I have been able to stick to low ISO shooting nearly all the time. In fact with a very wide lens such as the Panny 7-14 or a fast lens such as the Panny 20mm F1.7 I have been able to shoot inside cathedrals on cloudy days at ISO 200. Sports shooters will see this all rather differently though!

Autofocus proved as fast as we’ve experienced. The AF tracking kept up with speedy subjects and did a great job. Video looked very pleasing, with minimal artifacts and not much jello effect.
The OM-D E-M1 is one of the best current ILCs and marks a high point for the Olympus system. Extremely versatile controls, a rugged body, and a lovely EVF combine with some of the highest image quality you can get from any camera.
