Question: I'm considering the Canon 6D for portraits, but the OMD EM1 has really captured my interest.  Would this camera do the job for portraits?
Document: sold my canon EOS60d and a 24-70L f/2.8L for the OMD-EM1, a Zuiko 12mm-f2;Olympus 45mm-f/1.8; Summulix 25mm f/1.4 gearI was very concerned on how this would stack up. i am very very happy - having this for about a month now. i get really really good quality shots&#8230;the art filters (esp.
I decided to upgrade from my OMD EM5 knowing that IQ would probably really not be any better with the OMD EM1  (based on the review/comparison images I have reviewed. I don't know if it is or not for sure (it does not appear to be) as I have not done any direct side-by-side comparisons but I can say that like the EM5, IQ from the OMD EM1 is excellent.
Coming from the world of Leica M's and small point and shoot Leica I was very impressed with the discovery of MFT cameras.The size reduction the lens selections that are available etc.I read reviews of the OMD EM5 and found them very impressive.Followed with the reviews of the OMD EM1.I purchased the camera and six lensesand have been having a wonderful time learning their capabilities.Every day I'm learning something new
Direction ButtonsThe four buttons around the OK button are greatly improved over the EM5 - I found them a bit small and the buttons on the EM1 are much improved. I like the overall layout of all the dials and buttons.7. Larger BufferI am a RAW shooter and really appreciate the significantly larger buffer as compared to the OMD EM5.
Again, your finger just seems to know to use the knurled wheel on the back of the camera. I almost opted for the Panasonic GX7 because of the tilting EVF, but now I realize that the titling LCD on the EM1 is good enough for my needs there. The only thing I would prefer is if it also flipped outwards, for self portraits.It feels like a pro camera.
Someone asked me today if I would take a Canon 6D and 85L or an E-M1 and 25 1.4. For me that choice is easy. The E-M1 only because it would go with me everywhere when the 6D would be left behind.
Background info:  I'm just an amateur photographer but as with many folks, I'm really into photography. I've used a lot of cameras over the years (Nikon, Sony, Ricoh, some Canon, some Pentax), but for the past several years, have used Olympus  (E-5, Pens, E-M5 and now E-M1).2.
Like many I hoped to see crisper results from the EM1 compared to rivals and predecessors because of this, but I just can't see it here. Don't get me wrong, the quality isn't bad. On the contrary the quality is great, but it's just not really any different from what we've seen before." --Video is pretty poor--outdone by a $400 superzoom.At this point, do I like the camera enough to keep it? Yes.
This review is details some of the improvements I really like and think you will enjoy over the EM5 and other similar bodies.1. Electronic ViewfinderWow! It is so good that you almost can't tell it is electronic! And it is noticeably larger than the EM5's and clearer/sharper. If you like to use a viewfinder some of the time, you are absolutely going to love it - it is amazing!2. ErgonomicsThe feel and layout of everything is better than the OMD EM5.
This is the camera that most open minded photographers were - have been - are looking for from Olympus;  ie a relatively compact, well built, high performance camera with great ergononics and high possibility for producing excellent images. All of course supported by the awesome Olympus len line up. This camera really hits most of the important &#34;check marks&#34; that most serious photographers are interested in;  not all, but most. Most highly recommended and great job to Olympus for producing this incredible camera.
Answer: Shonny, more information is needed to really answer that question.  The most important one is what types of portraits are you going to be shooting?  Studio portraits.  These are often shot at F8 to F11.  On a m43, you would shoot F4 to F5.6 so the lights can be powered down a little.  For studio portraits you don't really need a very fast or expensive lens at all.  Location portraits.  These are often shot wide open, so the 45mm f1.8 and 75mm f1.8 are ideal for this.  The 75mm is a magical lens that makes fairytale portraits.  I am not exaggerating this.  I can show you picture after picture of this.  The 45mm also makes really nice portraits.  For location, portraits will you be shooting in daylight or dark conditions?  That is do you need hi ISO.  The next question to answer is how big of prints are you wanting to sell.  You only need 7mp to make an 8x10 and a 16mp camera can comfortably print up to 23x17 at 200 DPI.  So if you are planning to print in that range or bigger then a 24mp is probably the way to go.  The next question to ask yourself is how much you are planning to spend on glass.  The Olympus 12-40mm is $1000 ($800 when purchased with the camera) and the Canon 24-70mm is $2000.  The Canon is also far larger and heavier.  The final question to ask yourself is what else do you plan to do with this camera.  Is it going to be your one and only that you do everything with or is it just going to be for portraits.You will have to answer these questions for yourself.  Here is my answer.  The EM1 is exceptional for portraits and is the better all around camera so for me I would and do own the EM1.  I don't own the Canon 6D or the Nikon equivalent the D600 (I shoot Nikon also so that would be the camera I would own if I was going to.)  I don't own the D600 by choice.  When I did own the D700, I used the GH1 far more often for family portraits.  In fact, my 2 favorite portraits of my kids are still ones taken with my GH1.  The reason I would take the EM1 is it is more capable in many aspects, it is lighter, and the lenses are generally cheaper and lighter.  This more goes for the better lenses such as the 75mm and 12-40mm.  If you are mostly shooting hi ISO shots or absolutely must have the most razor thin DOF possible, then the 6D will be the way to go.  But as I mentioned earlier, for studio portraits, you are not going for a tiny DOF.  Also, in a studio set up you will always be shooting the base ISO.  So if you are planning mainly studio portraits, the only 2 strengths of the 6D are gone.  For location portraits shot in available light, the face exposure and focus system is going to make the processes of shooting the portraits much faster and you will be getting more shots with the correct exposure.Both cameras will take very nice portraits.  For almost all standard portrait settings, the 6D will hold a trivial advantage in IQ so this doesn't really influence which camera you should choose.  If you plan on printing around or above 23x17 then the 6D will hold a distinct advantage is probably the right camera to get.  For everything else the I would take the EM1.
