Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III Review

 

Compact, all-weather body. ; Stabilized image sensor. ; Includes external flash. ; Up to 30fps Raw capture. ; Vari-angle LCD and OLED EVF. ; Well-established lens system.

Tops out at 5.3fps when tracking. ; Wide aperture lenses are bulky and expensive. ; Smaller image sensor limits resolution and depth of field control. ; Plastic exterior. ; Charging port not USB-C.

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is an appealing camera for photographers already invested in Micro Four Thirds gear, but it isn't as innovative as previous entries in the series.

Compact and feature-packed: Our Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III review

 

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is the company's latest Micro Four Thirds camera; it looks great, feels great, and takes beautiful photos. There's a lot to like, but there are a few things we'd change. Find out more in our full review.

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III's solid build quality, excellent controls (including some of the best-feeling control dials on the market) and generally pleasing out-of-camera files make it a supremely engaging camera to take pictures with. It's...

Olympus E-M5 III Review

 

Though it was quite a wait between the previous E-M5 II and this new model, the refreshed Olympus E-M5 Mark III brings a lot to the table for Olympus owners and Micro Four Thirds shooters in general, as well as any photographer looking for a rugged,...

Improved image quality; Very good dynamic range & high ISO performance for a modern MFT sensor; Very fast AF; Excellent image stabilization; 4K video recording; Weather-sealed build quality.

Below average battery life; Small size can be awkward with long, heavy lenses; One SD card slot.

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III review

 

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is an upgrade we've been waiting for a long, long time. So was it worth waiting for?

Small size ; Latest 20MP MFT sensor ; Excellent in-body stabilization ; Weatherproofing ; Clever Live Composite mode and more

Lightweight feel ; Battery life

We’ve waited a long time for this camera, a model which has Olympus's latest sensor, autofocus and camera features but without the big and bulky body of the E-M1 Mark II. So was it worth the wait? Oh yes. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III immediately...

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III review

 

The E-M5 Mark III is a great upgrade that epitomizes all that there is to love about Olympus' OM-D mirrorless cameras.

Powerful image processor Much improved video spec Insanely good image stabilization Tiny body, excellent handling A plethora of shooting modes Stylish looks

Sensor lags behind larger formats in areas Polycarbonate body a step down from predecessor Larger handgrip would be welcome Eye-sensor active when the screen is flipped out A little expensive

Stylish, lighter than ever, and crammed with shooting modes for users of all skill levels, power under the hood and improvements across the board, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is a sensible upgrade. It may not quite match the overall image quality...

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III review

 

Olympus' mid-range marvel has been a long time coming, but we're glad it's finally here

Brilliant in-body stabilisation ; Compact size ; Excellent stills performance ; Very good 4K video

Plasticky feel ; Average battery life ; Slightly under-par continuous autofocus

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is an excellent all-rounder that crams a load of smart skills into a tiny package
