E-M5 Mark III Body Black

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

I use my camera almost exclusively for family life. 10 bit video, reliable human tracking and good stabilization are the main things to look for in a hybrid dad cam. I wouldn’t recommend an OM-5 or GX9 for your use, because they both lack 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned above. I’ve owned an E-M10

Yeah, don't buy this. This was an issue the E-M5 III from Olympus (and it's OM successors) were famous for. This looks like a particularly severe example, there are cracks going up both sides of the camera. Depending on the construction of the camera the effect of the damage could vary, but this loo

If these are legit then what are the actual differences? It really seems the management at OM System are just grabbing whatever market they can without any investment or innovation. OM-1 was designed by Olympus before the restructure/takeover. The mark ii was essentially a firmware update. OM-5 is l

You should buy an EM5III. You can get them for $400-500, which is very good value. I bought my OM5 not long after release for around $950 and I feel like that was only barely worth it. Here we are 3 years later and the OM5II is basically the same camera still and it’s being sold for $1,200. They eve

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 GX85 has very outdated autofocus technology and video formats.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

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

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

1-series: flagship body with full grip.3-series: flagship body with no grip.5-series: semi-pro body, shallow grip.10-series: casual body, smallest and lightest. I used to be confused by the similar form factor between the E-M10 and E-M5, but the difference is that all models of E-M5 are weatherproof

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
