Product Overview

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is a high-end mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Olympus in 2020, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 20 MP (5184 x 3888) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. One should note that the OM-D E-M1 Mark III has a 200 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. Professionals and fanboys will be pleased by the extraordinary 60.0 fps burst rate that this camera can deliver.
The E-M1 Mark III comes with a fully articulated touch display and 121 autofocus points. Those who intend to use the camera for video work will be glad to find that the camera comes with 7 stops of IBIS.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:
The E-M1 Mark III houses the same sensor as the Mark II, with the same 20MP resolution. A new detail priority mode processes high ISO images twice, slowing the camera but increasing the level of detail. The viewfinder resolution is a couple of generations out of date, and the metering system feels inconsistent.
Pros
  • Excellent image stabilization
  • Weather-sealed sensor
  • Dust and splash protection
  • 2X crop factor
Cons
  • Mediocre viewfinder resolution
  • Metering system feels inconsistent

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
Olympus has made its best Micro Four Thirds camera, but it's telling that upgrades from the aging Mark II are not earth shattering. If you're after the shallow depth of field look, you are almost certainly better off with a system built around a larger sensor. The E-M1 Mark III doesn't offer any palpable video updates.
Pros
  • Svelte f/1.8 and f/2.8 prime lenses
  • Excellent image stabilization
  • Built-in weather protection and weather protection
Cons
  • Larger sensor
  • No telephoto zoom
