E-M5 Mark III Body Black

The om3 is BIG in comparison; get the OM-5 it’s the same camera as the em5III but has more computational features and the more recent OM branding. I got to hold one recently but ended up sending it back and keeping my gx9 which I would recommend as a newer alternative to the gx85 but it’s also disco

Let’s do a little history lesson…. Truepic VIII cameras - EM1ii and EM5iii. Essentially the same tech shrunk into a smaller lighter package. Inextricably, Olympus removes the USB-C of the early camera for Micro USB. Truepic IX cameras - EM1iii and OM-5. Same deal, same nonsensically Micro USB. Oh an

I find the 5 series bodies to be too small to comfortably use with any zoom larger than the 12-100 and even that lens is way off balance when on my OM-5. Olympus made a hand grip for the E-M1 Mk III (fits the OM-5 Mk I) for just that reason, but then you are pretty close in size to the OM-1. Further

Man sieht immer wieder Preise zwischen 1400€ - 1500€. Die OM-5 II würde ich ehrlich gesagt nur empfehlen wenn jemand viel Landschaft fotografiert und ein maximal leichtes Setup braucht, das auch wetterfest ist. Wenn du viel Familie fotografierst, ist die Gesichtserkennung einfach zu schlecht. Ich ha

IMO, the OM-3 is clunkier than the OM-1 due to lack of ergonomics. You'll find you have to set it down, put it away, or use 2 hands to use it far more than an OM-1, which can be easily carried hanging from the tips of your fingers in 1 hand and easily operated 1 handed with lenses up to around 600g.

Ok, then let's say OM System is relying on the after-market for some accessories. :-) In my opinion, the cost to develop, build, and warehouse low volume accessories could easily exceed any retail profit. Yes, Olympus had a hand grip for the E-M5 Mk III (and OM-5 Mk I) but how many have you seen peo

How will you carry it? For hiking i use a peak design capture clip to hang my e-m1 mark ii with 12-40 f2.8 pro on a rucksack strap. It's not heavy but i can't feel the weight at all when it's there, and for light rain i don't even bother putting it away due to the weather sealing. It's out of the wa

I find M43 great and overall the perfect system for my needs. I own a E-M1 Mark III which I love shooting with in general, and a GX80 which is very useful for travelling with bag restrictions or just carrying in my bag daily even if it isn't "as good". Ideally, I'd like to have a single body that sa

I started using MFT over a decade ago because it had the most advanced small cameras by a long shot. Olympus and Panasonic were unstoppable. I stopped using MFT as my main camera about a year ago because OM and Panasonic stopped making good small cameras about 6 years ago (EM5III), I got tired of wa

I like the internals of the OM3. I don’t like the design. It is too large, it doesn’t have a grip and the style dial is in the worst location possible. I went to the shop to buy one myself and came home with an A7CII instead. When you can get a smaller full frame camera, MFT really starts to lose it
