OM-5 cheaper than E-M5III?

No idea why the price would be less given same condition/shutter count. But go for the OM-5. Might as well have a newer camera with newer processor and more features (Hand held high res, LiveND, starry sky AF, supposedly improved IBIS). The fact that OM released an om-5 mark ii without resolving the

Is there something better than Lumix GX85 in the similar price range and size?

You have conflicting priorities. In a lot of ways most phones are better than a GX85 for video - autofocus, formats, etc. GX85 has very outdated autofocus technology and video formats. I cannot describe it as “good”. I describe Panasonic G9 as “OK” and Panasonic G9II as “good”. Phones are on G9II le

New body

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

My First impression of the Pen F as a GX85 user.

This is sadly very true. From what I can see, all their current tech was done under Olympus (the OM-1, which should have been the E-M1 mark IV was already almost finalized when Olympus sold their camera division to JIP... they didn't even bother redoing the molds to remove the Olympus logo on it). T

It's M43 Monday! Ask Us Anything about Micro Four-Thirds Photography - all questions welcome!

Don’t hold your breath for small cameras. OM and Panasonic have abandoned that segment for years. G100 is a neutered camera. Used EM5III or OM5 is what you want. They are basically the same camera. OM5II is poor value in 2025 - it is the same 6 year old camera getting its third re-release without an

PetaPixel and Emily from Micro Four Nerds on how to save Micro Four Thirds - the manufacturers only make large premium cameras and are afraid to make a small one that isn't plastic and chintzy

What's interesting to me is that the OG e-m5 at launch brought brand new things to the line up. Brand new 16mp sensor, new 5-axis IBIS system, new processor, faster bursts. The e-m1 actually came a bit after the e-m5, but they were not afraid to bring brand new capabilities to the smaller body. Even

OM Systems welcomes new Chinese M43 brand: Songdian

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

OM-5 mkii Rumored Specs

No OM-5 is closer to the e-M10 iii as it has Trupic IX. E-M5 iii is TruePic Viii and closer to EM1 ii in output/features. But better color profile than the E-M1iii and E-Mi X that share the same processor. Hopefully some AF improvements will be in the Mark ii. Even my Fujifilm X-T1 AF is better than

Compact recommandations

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
