Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III review: Technological powerhouse
A technological powerhouse that thinks differently. Sure, its smaller-scale sensor isn't the best in low-light, but the abundance of shooting modes and technologies on offer here superb - as is the exceptional image stabilisation system. The battle between sensor sizes just got more interesting.
Pros:
- Rapid and robust handling
- More shooting modes than you can shake a stick at
- Excellent image stabilisation system
- Refined autofocus system
- Great selection of lenses
Cons:
- Micro Four Thirds sensor size limited in low-contrast light
- Default noise reduction too aggressive
- Perceived lack of progress in core features
- Better viewfinders elsewhere

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III review
The Olympus E-M1 III is our favorite Micro Four Thirds cameras for stills shooters, as of publication. It's capable of very good image quality and jam-packed with fun and useful features. It's also no slouch when it comes to 4K video capture and offers some of the best image stabilization around. All this in a supremely well-built, comfortable, customizable and attractive body. That said being said, there are more capable, large sensor cameras available for the money.
Pros:
- Action, wildlife, nature and landscape shooters (with high-res mode). Micro Four Thirds shooters seeking the best image quality. General and travel photographers desiring a small kit.
Cons:
- Those requiring the best dynamic range and/or resolution. Those needing reliable subject tracking
