Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III review

The E-M10 Mark III offers casual shooters a modern camera with a classic design.

Decent 16MP images ; Five-axis internal stabilization ; Compact, lightweight ; Built-in EVF

Same sensor as E-M10 Mark II ; Autofocus isn’t great for moving subjects ; Image quality lags behind APS-C peers

Call us underwhelmed. The Mark III is a good camera for stills, but suffers when it comes to fast-moving action and video, mainly due to less-than-stellar autofocus performance. The contrast detect system simply can’t keep up with the competition. That...

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III

The mirrorless Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III camera doesn't offer a lot of tech upgrades, instead focusing on an easier photography experience.

Compact, solid design. Built-in EVF and flash. Tilting touch LCD. 8.8fps burst shooting. In-body stabilization. Raw and JPG capture. In-camera art filters. Wi-Fi.

16MP sensor seems dated. Tracking focus slows speed to 4fps. 4K video not easily accessible. No Bluetooth or NFC.

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III doesn't have a lot of head-turning new features—the addition of 4K video is the biggest upgrade. Other changes—improved ergonomics, faster processing and focus, and better results when shooting in automatic mode—are...

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III Review

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 III is a gentle refresh of its predecessor. It's still a 16MP Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, still keenly priced and still devastatingly pretty. A revision of the user interface to make it more beginner friendly and the...

Olympus OM-D E-M10 III Shooting Experience

We've had a production spec Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III for several weeks now. And, as we prepare our review, Carey Rose has been seeing what it's like to kick back, enjoy the summer and let the camera's revamped Auto mode do the heavy lifting.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III bets on a new newbie interface

The update to the Mark II has some design tweaks, but the biggest change is a move away from its odd "easy" operating mode.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III

Let's be honest. It's intimidating to step up from a point-and-shoot smartphone or digicam to an interchangeable lens camera (ILC) system. Not only do you have to pick lenses, but ILC's are inherently more capable, which also means they're more complex.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III Review

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III is a rather modest update of the 2-year-old Mark II model, principally adding 4K video recording with both mechanical and digital stabilization, a faster processor, more AF points and a refined body and user interface...

Olympus E-M10 III Review

If you're in the market for an affordable, compact mirrorless camera with great image quality, the Olympus E-M10 III certainly delivers. A couple of quibbles mean that it's not for everyone, but for many less-experienced photographers, this camera...

Superbly-built, comfortable and compact body; Pairs beautifully with pancake kit lens; Excellent image quality; Excellent performance in most respects; Great single-shot autofocus; Really nice viewfinder and touch-screen display; Friendlier user...

Some controls are a bit small and tightly-packed; Hand grips are still a bit modestly-sized for larger lenses; Continuous and video autofocus just isn't up to snuff; New user interface can feel limiting to advanced photographers; Underwhelming battery...

Olympus E-M1 Mark III Review

A year ago Olympus debuted the E-M1X, a souped-up E-M1 II with higher performance and a gripped body designed for better handling with telephoto lenses. Then, towards the end of 2019, the long-awaited E-M5 Mark III made its entrance into the market.
