OLYMPUS OM SYSTEM OM-D E-M1 Mark III Black Camera Body

The Olympus OMD EM1 Mkiii is a an enthusiast/pro camera body. There is no "Auto" mode! This camera offers both the advantages of the micro 4/3 system (smaller lenses and weather sealing on Pro lens). As such, it is an excellent system for hiking and travel. The Mkiii added a dedicated joy stick, starry skys autofocus, 80 mp handheld option and built in nd capability. All four were welcome additions to the camera. The downsides of the camera is the sensor which is at least 4 years old, low light capability and more limited depth of field. Although I would love a bump in sensor resolution, it is not a deal breaker. The low light limitations can be mitigated by the fast pro lens and excellent third party noise reduction software. The depth of field can also be dealt with in camera with focus stacking. I would still recommend this body even though Olympus has sold its imaging business. The completeness of the micro 4/3 system perfectly fits our needs. Highly recommended.

Bought this on Christmas 2022 deal; Great camera if you are looking for small and non-professional use with prime lens or pro lens. If you have OM-D EM5 mark II, this will better upgrade. First, the i thought to buy the OM SYSTEM OM-5 but the price wise not big difference and features are better! Recommended as upgrade from earlier Olympus mirrorless camera.

Perfecta!

I had purchased from this supplier previously ( a quality prime lens) and was very satisfied at that time. This was an expensive purchase and I was happy to deal with them again. I was not disappointed. Good communication throughout - I was kept informed and all timelines were met in what would be difficult "Covid" logistical circumstances. Thank you Becextech. I knew the product I was purchasing and was upgrading having used the two previous models of this camera. I am most impressed with the new camera, I'm really enjoying it - its re-lit my photographic motivation.

This is not my first micro four thirds camera. I bought the first OMD EM-1 when it came out to use while traveling. So I already had some lenses. At the time, there were only one or two PRO lenses when it came out, so most are everyday lenses. Still, it produced some great images. Since then, my skills have improved and I purchased two full frame Nikons (810 and Z7). I don't think it's reasonable to compare them. Each has different features and excels in different areas. So why did I upgrade the Olympus? Size and portability. I'm not getting any younger. Full size lenses have significantly more weight to them. The fact that a 400 mm Nikkor lens weighs more than multiple Olympus lenses put together, with the same or greater focal length, is becoming more important as I age. Yes, there are differences in their capabilities, but I have to say, the improved image stabilization of the Olympus has been a game changer. Prior to the improved stabilization, I felt the need to use the larger camera. Most smaller cameras are light enough that it's easy to move the camera while taking the shot. There are many instances when a tripod or monopod isn't permitted or practical to use. The heavier weight of the Nikon (or any full frame camera) was easier to balance. The improved stabilization of the Mark III has changed that. It also improves the quality of low light images significantly. I should tell you that I am not a professional. I am just an experienced hobbyist. If I were a pay-for-pics pro I would probably choose my Nikon system. I like to explore my own creativity and the Olympus lends itself to that. It's incredibly versatile. Astrophotography? Yes! Soccer games? Yes! Macro? Yes! Vacations? Yes! (and you'll love the way it's sealed for weather and active lifestyles) Landscapes, camping, wildlife, celebrations, life events......it can take on just about anything you can imagine. There's a lot more than megapixels to cameras. While this one is 20 mp, in high-res mode, it can produce an 80 mp image. That's far more than most of us need. The tech this employs to acheive that level of detail also produces incredible color quality. The battery life is significantly improved from the first iteration, although it still doesn't come close to lasting as long as Nikon batteries. So pick up an extra battery or two. Overall, I really like using this camera. The best camera to use is the one you have in your hand. That's exactly why most of us love the camera feature in our phones. This camera is packed with features and it's lightweight, compact size makes it easy to keep within reach for all those occasions you'd like to capture.
