Calling the EM1 series "pro" is a bit of a stretch. They're more like nichy enthusiast consumer cameras. The MFT system as a whole isn't really equipped to handle professional work.

@@youknowwho9247 what about fuji aps-c, are they equipped to handle professional work.

@@arnehedberg they don't. That's a false impression you got from watching too many KZfaq videos.

Chances are you only believe that because you lack experience in shooting with better quality, larger sensor systems.

@@dragancete You missed my point. But that's alright.

I agree. This camera is an embodiment of MFT. Overpriced gear that's worse at everything compared to the competition plus tons of marketing to keep the fanbase from realizing they're being ripped off

Thank you!

I have it too and it's as good as my 5d iii.

George Stone unless your subject is moving. Then you need a faster shutter with high iso. That’s when the micro 4/3 is .....

If you need reliable af for fast action, MFT is the wrong format for you. Their af is terrible by comparison to most other options on the market.

As far as the resolution and DR in this camera vs the E-M10 mk ii, it's a little better but not much.

How is this the best hybrid camera? It has a worse feature set than both the X-T3 and the a6400, much, much worse image quality thanks to its tiny and outdated sensor, yet it costs the same as the far superior competition. It's a symbol of what MFT has become - overpriced, sub par gear plus lots of marketing.

@@youknowwho9247 Read it again fool. Olympus has incredible IBIS, PDAF, articulated screen, uncropped 4K all in a compact body.

@@jof1954 Pretty much every modern camera has pdaf, and nobody but vloggers need an articulated screen. The X-T3 does 4k60 and all other options at this price point don't crop either. Except this Olympus only has 20 mpix from a sensor that's several years old and in the tiny MFT format, which means it's low res and high noise. It's very clearly the worse choice for a camera at this price point because of its inferior image quality.

@@youknowwho9247 Fully articulated screen is useful to more than just vloggers. I made good use of it shooting at a wedding, holding the camera over my head at arm's length to capture the crowd doing the Hora dance.

@@scharkalvin You don't need a fully articulating screen for that. One that tilts down is actually better for that purpose. Plenty of camera models offer this. Also - shooting wedding photography on MFT borders on being insulting to the clients.

Why would you invest in a dead system? Sources from inside Olympus say that they're shutting down their consumer camera division as early as next year.

It really is. For everyone? Nope. But if you enjoy the Olympus charm and design, their small lenses, and their color science then it's worth a look. So much competition out there, as someone mentioned the Panasonic G9. Though that is a totally different kind of vibe and design. All cameras today are fantastic. Thank you for watching.

What external recorder did you use? I think a dedicated device will always have superior components (like the preamps) than built-in options, plus you could always buy better external recorders. I guess I could use a phone... would be nice to have a shotgun mic for fixing on top of the camera hotshoe, and then a Sennheiser AMBEO Smart Headset for capturing 3D atmospheric audio.

@@evshrug like i said, I switched to panasonic. Problem solved. They don't have issues with bad preamps. Audio is clear out of the box. When I was on the em5mkii I used my pc to record audio from my condenser mic. Quality was perfectly fine but it's a pain. I gave up on olympus in general. The quality just isn't there anymore, the only good thing was the IBIS. Messing with external recorders is no good. this Em5 mkiii was the camera that was supposed to convince me to come back to olympus. but apparently the auto ISO is broken and 1080p is still super soft. No word on the preamps yet, but I heard a bit of hiss on the videos i've seen so far. You can never be sure if people are running noise reduction over the videos or not.

E-P5 is awesome. Always loved the PEN. Seems like they have been taken out of the modern Olympus lineup though. : (

As long as they are making them it will be my main system.

Well...it's only been a year since this camera was released :) So yes, I guess...

Beautiful camera. Cheap secondhand now in 2022.

right mate!! Same here, coming from Nikon also (last Nikon was a Z6)

Id wait a little longer as my guess is an EM1 MKIII will be out soon. Just a hunch, I have no inside info.

Em 5 iii has a plastic body this kills it for me i dont buy plastic cams

@@castielvargastv7931 I don't care about that at all.

You should do that in english again. The netherlands are just like mft, too small to be taken seriously. 😄

Thank you for the kind words.

Dynamic range on Micro 4/3 Olympus. bodies has been excellent since the EM1 MKII. No issues there at all. But of course, the smaller sensor will not have the qualities of a full frame. I see this for those who shoot family, trips, casual, etc. For that demographic, this is an outstanding camera as it delivers much nicer quality than any phone, much nicer color than some other camera brands, and JPEGS that you do not have to mess around with much. RAW is there of course for those who want to dig deep but this will give the IQ of the EM1 MKII, same sensor. Thank you.

I wonder why so many pro's are now using it? People forget that the sensor is only one part of the equation to IQ. The iPhone XR sensor is twelve times smaller than m4/3....Those that have tried the latest versions have no problem with 30"x20" prints and I have complaints only 20"x16" prints I used forty exhibition.

And if you dont get an extra battery and just charge the camera via USB, now you've got a useless charger, and you paid for the privilege (although probably not much).

TBH, I don't think this'll save micro four thirds at all, since it's not exactly affordable....

@@noorur I agree,for the price there are better alternatives ,like perhaps a full frame camera.

Why would it? This camera is obviously a solid piece of evidence that even Olympus has realized that MFT is dead. They literally re-released the three year old E-M1 II in a plastic body. Absolutely no investment into R&D. They're obviously just trying to extract the last few dollars from their fan base.

@@youknowwho9247 Maybe the market for ALL cameras is dead, or at least very soft. Technically, there may not be too much more to cram into the u4/3 system as the sensor may have hit the Moores law limit. Actually the EM5 has always been a smaller lighter cheaper version of the EM1 while still maintaining the weather proof seals. The EM10, being the entry level price model. At least the EM5 has a metal inner chassis, only the outer panels are plastic.

4 years 6 months.

tonkatoytruck nope, not yet anyway. Maybe a firmware update.

The Fuji, by one stop. It's an aps-c camera, whereas the Olympus uses an old, outdated micro four thirds sensor. Because of how small that sensor is, it's got worse low light performance.

@Tom Lismer IBIS is generally worse than lens based images stabilization, that's not even controversial. The only reason it's rather effective in some MFT models is because they employ both at the same time. And while that's a nice gimmick to have, it's no substitute for proper low light performance. If you're photographing anything but a static scene, or one where motion blur is intentional, IBIS doesn't help you. As such, it's generally useless for shooting any type of photography that involves moving subjects. It's also only an advantage compared to full frame, if the full frame shooter is forced to shoot above ISO 800 (ISO 400 for APS-C) in the same situation. That's rarely the case in static scenes when using good glass. Let's go with real world examples. Cases where IBIS is no advantage are any type of sports shooting, wildlife, events, street photography, portraiture. What's left is maybe night time architectural or landscape photography. If you're serious about either of those, you've got a tripod with you anyway since no amount of IBIS replaces that. When there is a tripod involved, full frame is roughly four stops cleaner than MFT, APS-C is one to two stops cleaner. Conclusion: MFT comes with a lot of compromises in terms of image quality. IBIS is a crutch that does not make up for those.

@@youknowwho9247 sorry, but you are wrong! IBIS is better than any lens based system. I have seen lots of examples comparing them and the lens system doesn't come close. And with the dual system is even better. Also I have been comparing the photos at pixel level between micro 4/3 rds and the others. APS-C is about 1 stop better in low light, and FF is about 2 to 3 stops better, depending on who made the sensor.

@@richardg3335 The point is moot now, since the best IBIS as well as the best lens based stabilisation systems are now found in full frame bodies. MFT died for good reasons.

@Mike Zielinski First of all, it's "skin tones", not "flesh tones". Before you get into an argument with someone, learn the language so you don't embarrass yourself. Second, "colour science" is a marketing buzzword with zero real world meaning. Professionals shot raw, and two seconds in Lightroom can make the colours of any brand look like the colours of any other brand if the user knows that they're doing. Of course you'd know that if you had any experience with professional photography, rather than being a KZfaq armchair commentator.

I believe you need to remove the battery but I'm not sure (don't have one)

Yes you can

Lol! Well, only if you feel you need to! ; )

Roger Schooneveld I have a GF3 and today’s cameras are way better! My EM-10 ii creates much better images than my GF3... though they can share lenses. Olympus’ IBIS is great, makes a big difference. My GF3 is a nice pocket camera with the 14mm f/2.5, but put the 14mm on the EM-10 and results are much better.

This is the first KZfaq comment that I've ever seen that uses "it's" and "its" in a grammatically correct way.

@@langhamp8912, haha~, that proves that I'm not a native English speaker.

It's also got the worst image quality. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Aps-c options are only marginally larger and produce much better results.

@@youknowwho9247 I agree. Apsc produces images at least four times better than m43. However, full frame is many times better than apsc. You might want to invest in full frame or the medium format Fuji. For sure your pictures will be many times better, guaranteed.

@@langhamp8912 I shoot a D850 and I know why.

AF.

Tech Travel etc, better jpegs, lighter smaller body, phase detect AF.

Will be the same price by then, so good point!

Pretty much, plus the benefits of the E-M1II all but make this new camera pretty pointless in the Olympus lineup.

@@briand3239 Well the benefits of this is that it is pretty much an EM1 MKII within a small body. So if you like the body design of this, and size of this, it could be seen as a benefit to this camera. Same sensor, improved 5 Axis, 10 FPS, new improved AF performance and pretty extreme weather sealing. It's truly like a mini EM1 MKII. But yes, what you said makes sense. Olympus said that when they released the EM1X sales of the Em1 MKII surged. May happen again here.

If you're spending more than a grand on a camera, then you might as well get a better format than MFT. It's outdated and pretty much dead. For 1200 bucks you could get an X-T3, a6400 or even a used a7 III. Any of those options is a much, much better buy than any MFT camera.

No

Yes

Full frame is good ; )

I'd like to see a PEN-F mk ii to compete with the Panasonic GX9.

Chris Hanson, what difference does the plastic make in real use? I owned the Canon 60D, 70D, and 80D, Nikon D750... all plastic. No issues with it whatsoever, and the E-M5 iii feels and looks solid. I was surprised how hefty and good it feels in the hand.

noise at base iso.. I thought I was crazy when I saw it.... I now know i am not!

@@arunashamal MFT cameras in particular are super noisy at their base ISO. They only go down to ISO 200, which has noise equivalent to ISO 800 on full frame cameras. That's why the people who say MFT is just as good as larger sensors on good light have no idea what they're talking about.

Absolutely ridiculous a camera of that price point being made of plastic, when Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm are making their's constructed of metal/ magnesium

Agreed the em1 is a better overall camera when you factor in the magnesium alloy body. The weight saving isn't an issue when you use Olympus pro lenses which are heavier than any of the Olympus bodies

For me a non Pro lenses shooter even at same price I am going to choose EM5 over EM1 for smaller size and lighter body.

Where do you find an E-M1 mk ii for less??

Vic3rK I switched from Sony A73 to EOS R, massive improvement. I keep my Olympus also for travel.

I'm also thinking of switching to Sony and keeping the Olympus as a backup. The only other solution is to invest in an em1 because the weight saving of micro Four thirds pro lenses is a major factor. Decisions!!!

I have an E-M10 MkII and a Sony A7 MkIII. Love them both. They both have unique and complementary features. Both very sophisticated and at a push to choose one over the other, I'd not hesitate to have either. It would be impossible to choose one over the other. They are different.

I’ve added an A7III but I’ve got to be honest I enjoy using my Pen-f with prime lenses more than the Sony.

Fuji is very tempting! Best controls in the business. Arguably the best colour, too (but colour is maleable so....). The pro lenses are terrific. I think I will still move to Micro 4/3 when I feel right in pulling the trigger.

@@Biosynchro xh1 is still cheaper than this mark 3. I love Olympus but can not see me buy a Olympus camera over a fuji camera :( lenses for fuji are also very small (2.0 primes, 18 55 2.8-4.0) to be honest it is going to be hard for Olympus

@@danielwiednerfotografie663 Well I looked at body and lens sizes for both M4/3 and Sony E, and E mount kits aren't actually that much bigger until you start to get to long telephoto lenses. Then, Micro 4/3 makes a lot of sense. IMHO!

@@Biosynchro MFT telephoto lenses are only small because their 35mm equivalent performance is so bad. They're consumer grade lenses sold with pro price tags. The 100-400 zoom for example is a full frame equivalent f/13 at the long end. Of course that's gonna be small and light. Should also be cheap, but it's not.

@@youknowwho9247 You're speaking of the Leica 100-400? Yes, it's a small lens. And it is f/6.3 at the long end. DOF equivalence is f/13, as you said. And I don't like sliding apertures. But I don't know why it should be cheap, if the results are good. The Olympus 150-400/4.5 should be an interesting lens, but it's not made for people like me. :-)

James Oren, good luck with your $2500 lenses for your RP.

Why would we get an Olympus? Nobody in their right mind invests in a dead system. Even the company itself knows that MFT is on the way out.

Shh.... Don't tell the idiots that. Let them keep lugging around many kilos of weight for the same results with their old tech full frame lenses.

@@RogerBenno Right. And we in turn let the numbskulls who actually believe Olympus' marketing run around with their toy cameras that take noisy, low res pictures. Everyone's happy.

@@tonkatoytruck the M1 mii seems to be cheaper now than this new model 🤔

@ Not here in the states.

@@tonkatoytruck How is this a better price? The E-M5 III literally is a three year old camera in a plastic body. It should never cost more than 700 bucks. The fact that they're pricing it the same as the X-T3, a6400 and M6 II is just ridiculous.

Don't forget about the cost of lenses.

You don't get phase detection A/F in a Panasonic and the composite is used to save weight. It has no bearing on its longevity or performance.

This is not a good camera by 2019 standards. It's literally three year old tech at a ridiculous price. They again, I don't get the surprise. MFT gear has always been the most overpriced, least cost efficient mount option on the market. Panasonic and Olympus have a long history of making consumer grade tech and marketing them with pro grade prices, especially lenses.

I'm also disappointed with the price, as I cannot afford it. But it does make sense from Oly's perspective. E-M5 iii is the same tier as E-30 (good old 4/3). I looked up E-30's release MSRP and it was actually $100 more than E-M5 iii. I just hope the price of either E-M5 iii or E-M1 ii will drop to an affordable level soon, so I can finally replace my E-620.

Not only are you getting a stop better low light, you also get a stop better subject isolation through shallower dof and 50% more resolution. The e-m5 III is closer to a point and shoot than to aps-c in image quality. Of course going full frame instead would be the real leap in quality. Another stop faster, even higher res available and most importantly, by far superior quality of glass compared to crop sensors.

@@yassirmurillo6965 Bro, ignore this Landscope dude. He's a troll. I dunno what kind of grainy monitor he views his images on but I don't see any issues with the images I shot at ISO 4000 on an E-M5 Mark II. Some people are just too sensitive and even the slightest texture in an image makes them quiver. I find it funny that many of the people who complain about the low light performance of certain cameras end up taking photos that appear grainier than usual after post-processing, even with capable cameras.

No I am not an ambassador. Maybe an ambassador to cameras I love ; ) Leica, Olympus are my faves and have been for 10+ years. Thank you.

In low light no it’s not but full frame would make my enjoyment of photography a absolute miserable experience for street photography and would want no part of it. So for me personally the mice 4/3 system is far superior and even for low light in street photography it’s not about the crisp clean shot so a full frame still has no advantages.

It's that innovation that gives you micro usb instead of usb-c, they put in the em1 mkii, 3 years ago. Even better, they take away the battery grip that gave me more battery longevity while out shooting, and balanced the camera better with larger lenses when I wanted to use it that way. Oh!
