Mirrorless cameras are a relatively new category in photography A mirrorless camera is like an SLR camera with interchangeable lenses but the mirror box and optical viewfinder are eliminated All composition is done from the LCD screen or thru an electronic viewfinder This makes the camera system smaller and less expensive than a traditional SLR Most systems can be small enough for carry on luggage with a backpack and small roller bag Sensor sizes range from a 20 crop sensor to full frame depending on camera model Image quality and performance of top end mirrorless cameras can rival or beat some SLRs while some lower end models are inexpensive enough to be a no brainer upgrade from a compact

OLYMPUS
PEN E-PL7
THE OLYMPUS PEN E-PL7 is keeping the PEN series as one of the top cameras on our list We love the PEN series for their quick autofocus snappy performance and great image quality Startup time is quick and shutter lag is non-existent The PEN cameras are equipped with customizable function buttons which can be programmed to be the equivalent of an ldquoAF-Onrdquo button found on many SLRs The PEN is lightweight and easy to travel with so much we often see customers ldquocrossgraderdquo into a mirrorless system just to avoid traveling with the weight of heavier SLR housings With a new smaller front port the new PT-EP12 housing unfortunately only supports the 14-42 EZ lens However new ports from AOI allow use of a full range of lenses rivaling the flexibility of more expensive mirrorless and SLR systems Camera and housing price starts at $1350 With such great low light performance 8 frames per second super fast focus and no shutter lag we feel this camera and housing combination is the best ldquobang for your buckrdquo in underwater photography
PROSbull Sensor provides extremely good low light and high
ISO performancebull 8 frames per second continuous shooting modebull Extremely snappy autofocus performance
compared to any camera compact or SLRbull Full range of lenses and 3rd party ports
available
CONSbull Standard housing port has limited lens
selectionbull Custom white balance deeper than about 40 feet
should be done with a color filterbull Slightly more expensive than the previous
generation model but still a smashing deal
Quick focus and no shutter lag allow capturing the moment easier to do

OLYMPUS
OM-D EM-1
THE OLYMPUS OM-D EM-1 has been our favorite mirrorless camera over the past couple of years The E-M1 improves upon our previous favorite the E-M5 by adding a more sophisticated autofocus system and greater customization of all available camera buttons Some of the more notable features carried over from the E-M5 is the 5 axis image stabilization but there have been some significant updates to the E-M1 The biggest change is a max flash sync speed of 1320 Most other mirrorless cameras have max speeds of 1160 Even most SLRs top out at 1250 This is a huge advantage for dialing in the exposure on your background For wide shots you can get darker blue water backgrounds and pull in the exposure on sunball shots easier For macro photography a high sync speed allows one to more easily knock out any ambient light and just have light from the strobes on the subject and also accomplish black backgrounds in the daytime The customization of controls on this camera are insane Almost any button can can be reassigned to another function Images shot with prime lenses look exceptionally sharp Olympus removed the low pass filter on the sensor and added a new image processor in the E-M1 and the results are sharpness that meets or exceeds that from SLRs
PROSbull Performance sharpness and image quality on par

out most other higher end camerasbull 1320 flash sync speed
CONSbull Larger body design leads to larger housingsbull Custom white balance canrsquot be executed in video

Images from the Olympus E-M1 are exceptionally sharp Shot with the Olympus 60mm macro and a Subsee +10 focus was easy to see on the screen and through the viewfinder ISO 200 1320 F8

PANASONIC GH4
THE PANASONIC GH4 is the first mirrorless camera that offers internal 4k recording making it a top pick for photo and 4k video enthusiasts on a budget or travelers that prefer a compact system Standard HD resolution is only editing As a reference point the wildly popular Canon 5D Mark II also shot in the IPB format but only at 42 Mbps All this talk about 4K video would make you think this camera isnrsquot set up to do stills but you would be wrong There are a number of improvements over the previous model the GH3 Autofocus is faster Shooting speed is up to 12 frames per second ISO range noise and dynamic range have been improved

OLYMPUS
OM-D EM-1
THE OLYMPUS OM-D EM-1 has been our favorite mirrorless camera over the past couple of years The E-M1 improves upon our previous favorite the E-M5 by adding a more sophisticated autofocus system and greater customization of all available camera buttons Some of the more notable features carried over from the E-M5 is the 5 axis image stabilization but there have been some significant updates to the E-M1 The biggest change is a max flash sync speed of 1320 Most other mirrorless cameras have max speeds of 1160 Even most SLRs top out at 1250 This is a huge advantage for dialing in the exposure on your background For wide shots you can get darker blue water backgrounds and pull in the exposure on sunball shots easier For macro photography a high sync speed allows one to more easily knock out any ambient light and just have light from the strobes on the subject and also accomplish black backgrounds in the daytime The customization of controls on this camera are insane Almost any button can can be reassigned to another function Images shot with prime lenses look exceptionally sharp Olympus removed the low pass filter on the sensor and added a new image processor in the E-M1 and the results are sharpness that meets or exceeds that from SLRs
PROSbull Performance sharpness and image quality on par
with or exceeds SLRsbull Best control set of any camera in this review beats
out most other higher end camerasbull 1320 flash sync speed
CONSbull Larger body design leads to larger housingsbull Custom white balance canrsquot be executed in video
modebull Still waiting for longer focal length macro lenses
for more working distance
Images from the Olympus E-M1 are exceptionally sharp Shot with the Olympus 60mm macro and a Subsee +10 focus was easy to see on the screen and through the viewfinder ISO 200 1320 F8

PANASONIC GH4
THE PANASONIC GH4 is the first mirrorless camera that offers internal 4k recording making it a top pick for photo and 4k video enthusiasts on a budget or travelers that prefer a compact system Standard HD resolution is only editing As a reference point the wildly popular Canon 5D Mark II also shot in the IPB format but only at 42 Mbps All this talk about 4K video would make you think this camera isnrsquot set up to do stills but you would be wrong There are a number of improvements over the previous model the GH3 Autofocus is faster Shooting speed is up to 12 frames per second ISO range noise and dynamic range have been improved
PROSbull Shoots 4k at a respectable 100 mbps data rate amp
will hold up to some color correctionbull Shoots 1080p 60p movies at 200 mbpsbull Easy to forget it takes great still images too
CONSbull Control set not as nice as E-M1bull 1250 flash sync speed compared to 1320 with

The Panasonic GH4 has great dynamic range and reserves plenty of detail in both the bright areas of the sponge and dark areas of the surface
THE OLYMPUS OM-D EM-5 MKII is arguably the best mirrorless camera Olympus has put out With great still features a vastly improved movie mode and a price of $300 less than the E-M1 makes the E-M5 Mk II one of the top mirrorless out today The control set very closely resembles that of the EM-1 which we thought was one of the best control sets of any camera period The sensor is all new with a faster readout to support faster live view refresh and 1080 60p video This also helps the E-M5 Mk II have a slight increase in AF performance over the E-M1 The faster sensor readout also helps the E-M5 Mk II have a slight increase in AF performance over the E-M1

Super macro shots are not a problem with the EM-5 Mark II The LCD screen has increased resolution and dynamic range making it easier to see critical focus For those whose vision might not be the best to see a LCD screen the higher resolution electronic view finder can be used with a magnifying viewfinder like an SLR to get the best critical focus view
