Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III Review: Making impossible shots easy

With the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III, less is more, because you don't need to bring a tripod. The E-M1 Mark III reworks the E-M1X into a smaller body.

Excellent stabilization ; Starry sky autofocus ; Quick performance ; Handheld high-res mode ; Weather-sealed

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III review

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is our favorite Micro Four Thirds camera for stills shooters to date. It jam-packs plenty of cool/useful features into a small, tough-built package that's a pleasure to shoot with and thus, has earned our silver award.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III Review

Strong in-body stabilization ; Vast Micro Four Thirds lens system ; Raw capture at 15fps with mechanical shutter ; Electronic shutter at up to 60fps ; IP1X weather protection ; Swing-out touch LCD ; 4K video

Subject tracking autofocus not as effective as competitors ; Not the latest and greatest EVF ; Menu system could use a refresh

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III has a smaller sensor than competitors, but makes up for it with strong stabilization, smart built-in features for handheld exposure, and weather protection.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III review: Technological powerhouse

The third-gen OM-D E-M1 brings sensational image stabilisation and exquisite shooting modes. The sensor hasn't advanced much, but the feature set has.

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

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

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...

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III review

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is the ultimate pro camera for general practice photography

• 7.5 stops of IBIS with Sync IS ; • 60fps (locked) / 18fps (with AF) ; • Handheld astrophotography ; • Up to 80MP shooting

• Only 1 slot supports UHS-II ; • Old sensor ; • Old EVF ; • Old screen

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is the ultimate professional camera for general practice photographers. There are superior dedicated sports cameras, but it can certainly keep pace with them on the court – and there's more to being "pro" than shooting...
