Being a professional photographer, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to test the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III. I tested the camera during daylight hours at the Los Angeles Theatre and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations.
The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is a mirrorless camera with a Micro Four Thirds, 20.4MP Live MOS sensor. The camera boasts an ISO range of 200-25600 and a 5-axis in-body image stabilization system. Additionally, the camera has a 3-inch 1.04m-dot LCD monitor, 121-point contrast-detect autofocus system, and dual UHS-II SD card slots. It can record 4K UHD video at 30p and is compatible with the Olympus Pro Capture mode for capturing fast-moving subjects.
The autofocus system worked excellently, quickly and accurately locking on to my subject. The 5-axis image stabilization system worked well and allowed me to take clear and sharp images even with low shutter speeds. The 4K video capabilities were impressive and I was able to capture stunning footage of the theater in motion.
In summary, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is an excellent camera for both stills and video with various shooting capabilities. Nonetheless, the relatively small sensor size can constrain the image’s dynamic range.
Below are some key highlights of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III:
