Has anyone tried the Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera? How about underwater?

Thanks, Divingmama

I don't suspect that the Nauticam housing is in very wide distribution yet. And it is not clear that it is so much better than the EM1-II

Own an em1.2,compared to the em1x. For what is shoot, they are the same. And with the latest fw update, even more. I guess you'd see the difference in highly challenging scenarios, and in reliability, though the em1.2 is a monster.

I have one and I’m happy with it. I’m using TTL-Converter from UW Technics. There is some problem with TTL via fiber optic to Ikelite strobes (DS160 + ikelite RC1). TTL by wire works very well with UW Technics TTL-Converter.  Fiber optic TTL works well with FL-LM3 in the housing and RC1 on Ikelite DC160. I’m very happy with results of EM1X and 7-14mm f/2.8 or 8mm f/1.8 for the super wide shoots. Just now I’m trying 60mm f/2.8 for the macro and 60mm +CMC1 for the super macro. But I’m not so happy with the video quality.  I think that EM1X is worse than G9/GH5 or even in some aspects worse than old GH4 for the video. NA-EM1X housing is simply great and I love it. EM1X speed, customization and autofocus are superb. The quality and ergonomics of the NA-EM1X is outstanding.

Hi. Have you tried the subject tracking underwater? I'm curious if any of the subject tracking (bird or maybe face) with lock focus on fish, particularly really small active midwater fish. Bird mode does a great job on birds in flight and a small fluttering fish may look similar enough that subject tracking might work on it. thanks.
