I just bought the omd em10 mark 3 last week with 17mm 1.8. I just can say I really love it. The build quality is unreal. Hold it every night before I go to sleep hehe
Thanks for watching our video! Yes, I always say that Olympus camera build quality is really good, no matter which one you choose. Glad you like the Mark III and enjoy shooting! Have a nice day!
I can understand you! Few days ago I bought a omd 10 mk ii but I sent back to change to a mk iii just without lens because I bought a 60 mm macro lens so what I want to say, every night I came to see my camera!!! I just love it!!!
The Olympus OM system came out in 1972, not in the 80s. I brought the first one that came to my town worked the hell out of it I still have it works just as well today. Lots of dings, and scracthes which says something about Olympus quality. The one objection pros had with the OM 1 was the flash synchs at 1/60 of a second which sometimes allowed "ghost imaging" . It had to do with the curtain running from left to right a longer run. Nikon ran up, and down shorter run allowing a 1/125 of a second. This was explained to me by Yoshihisa Maitani Olympus design genius whom I had the privilege to meet. I have never used anything but Olympus. I subscribed your are becoming a favorite of mine great reviews.
I have been taking photography seriously for the past 37 years, and have owned both Olympus (OM) and professional Nikon systems. Recently, I took a punt on the OM-D E-M Mk III - to run alongside the Nikon cameras - just to see if Micro Four Thirds was all that it is claimed to be. Small, light, and a joy to use when out taking photographs for the sake of doing so, I never leave home without it. Image quality is easily good enough up to A2 prints at normal viewing distances, and the in-camera Art Filters and Advanced Photo modes are fun to use. Add excellent image stabilisation into the mix and high ISO performance is less of an issue.
Very good review and glad to see someone doing Olympus reviews in positive light still highlighting all the facts. On the other note, found background music too loud and distracting. You may want to rethink about that in future videos.
Nice review and it makes me glad I bought the EM10 Mk3.......After 25 years with digital fixed lens cameras I finally went for the EM10 Mk3 with a 12-150 lens too and only last night I got the 7mm ultra wide angle on EBAY. I still have my Fuji S4500 with the16mp and 30X zoom so this one will be a bit different with the ability to use any 4/3 lens around.
Jimmy-fantastic review ! You have answered a lot of questions I had on the current EM-5 vrs. the EM-10. Please do a review on the EM-5 Keep up the great work!
Sure, I can definitely organise one :) I am currently building up a library on all Olympus gear review so it will take time to finish but it should be quite interesting once I have them done!
I had a D7200 but got rid of it last year. I spent some time without a camera, but wanted to get back into photography. I recently saw a sweet deal with the OM-D E-M10 Mark III with 2 lenses (and the very good 45mm 1.8 for free - so 3 lenses in total) for an incredible £500. The camera menu system is a little neutered compared to how the old OM-D E-M10s and I'm not sure if any of the menus have had tweaks in firmware updates since the Mark III was released, but I do know that Olympus added back the remote flash capability because a lot of folks were annoyed that that was removed.
great review, i would say if video is a priority panasonic is a no brainer, having just used my first olympus today after using panasonic for years for stills, im so gutted i didnt go for oly. their cameras are just amzing in the hands. il be trading my gx7 in for a em10 soon. they are that good. luckily my lenses will go straight over : )
That new Advanced mode on the dial is really really nice... saves stumbling through the menu system for thing like livetime Thanks for the review, great job as per usual except I agree with other comments about music... please lose it haha
I haven’t shot Olympus in a while since the Evolt 510 but recently bought an E-M10 mIII. Is there a way to activate Supersonic Wave Filter to clean the sensor Like the old Four thirds cameras did? When I shut my camera off I don’t hear the SSWF vibrate like the old cameras use to.
It's a great review. I have my em10 mark i from few years ago. I'm not satisfied with it high ISO performance. Is em10 mark iii have better performance in high ISO compare to mark i? Should I upgrade to mark iii in terms of ISO performance? Thanks
I just sold my penf had a some problems with missing focus and tracking even slow moving subjects. I am left with a 25 1.2 pro hehe... Now looking for either 10 mk 3 or the big brother 1 mk 2 with the price reduced white a bit, omd 1 MK2 looks like a great camera! Btw, great video as always 👍
The lack of weather sealing and that of a fully articulated screen tilts the balance in favour of EM-5 mark II, in my honest opinion!!! But then that's just me!!! Good review though except for the fact that the lack of a fully articulated screen was nit mentioned here. For some people who does You-tube videos all on their own, this is a deal breaker!!!
I can understand that :) But Olympus needs a separation line between the EM5 and EM10 line hence, the exclusion to certain features. I am looking forward to the next EM5 actually, it should be phenomenal :)
Hi! :) I've tried to look up whether the camera has the 40mpx high-res shot mode like the Mark 5 II but I can't find it anywhere. Do you know if it does or not? :) Thank you!
going to buy this camera and the kit 14-40mm lens this january!it will film 10x better than my Nikon D750 camera!I am almost thinking of buying the Nikon D500 to film with but it costs 3x more than this setup!
Nice review! How close would you say the EM10iii is to the PEN-F? Looks like a good few new options. I think there is a lot of crossover at the moment and can be a bit confusing. What lens were you using - is it the 25mm 1.2 PRO?
It Genetics Limited Well, I think any OM-D cameras are different to Pen F because of the form factor, Pen F has the rangefinder-styling with the EVF on the side instead of inside the housing on top and in the middle of the camera, more of the traditional SLR profile. In terms of features, I think the Pen F is closer to EM-5 minus the weather seal but prettier and includes a higher 20mp sensor, just like the EM-1 II. EM-10 III is unique and its feature set/manual system is gearing for beginners and casual shooters. But I found it’s quite a compelling camera to shoot, even as a professional.
Awesome review! I have Mark III with a standard lens 14-42 and I am looking to invest inot a better lens mostly for fashion and product photography. Would you be able to recommend one or do review on lenses. And I have question if Olympus is interchangeable with other lenses or only Zuiko lens.
Canceled my order on the E-M10 Mark II and order a Mark III after i saw this video. It is my first camera and this looks awesome, will be so awesome to learn photograph :D Awesome video, thank you so much.
Got it right here now :D Couldn't bare my self so went for the store right in the morning! So much settings though, i have no idea what im doing. You don't happens to have place for a tutorial video covering the settings on this camera? ;)
The best place to start is switch to AP mode. It has lots of icons and description on what you may want to achieve. Have a play and I am happy to answer any question :)
Hello again, Now i have been playing around with my beloved camera for some time, and i have red up on what different settings do, kinda... One thing i have some problems with is focusing and getting shard pictures. Im using the 14-42mm kit lens and can get some really sharp pictures in daylight. But when it is getting dim and/or inside if i have auto-ISO the camera often set the iso to 6400 and that what i think makes all the pictures note so sharp as i want to. Do you have any tips or video on this so i can learn more on how to get nice pictures? :D Thanks again!!!
Hi Eric, thanks for getting back. No problem. Well, like any camera, no matter which brand it is, when shooting at high ISO, you will get 'mushy' photos. I tend to reserve this setting for emergency. Kit lens has a much smaller aperture so it's hard to not use high ISO. The only workaround is either to slow your shutter and lower the ISO setting, which is totally fine with the stabilisation of this camera. Or you can get a faster (bigger aperture) lens. Kit lens aren't really great for low light photography and hence the reason. If you are photographing people, you may also consider using flash to assist too. In many cases, it's a matter of finding the 'lights'.
Thank you for sharing! I have watched your reviews for 17, 25 and 45 Lens and also this one. You are incredibly entertaining and you do a great job of keep attention. I do have this camera and would like to be able to shoot video. What kind of a mic are you using to record audio?
good review mate but like simon i do find de background music loud and distracting cause it's on repeat. i would take a moment also with more easy listening audio and go deeper in the specs. no the review as at the same enrgie 'level' for 20 minutes
Thanks mate for your comment. We are constantly reviewing and hope to get better :) One thing is that I don't want to drill too deep into specs as it's a standard affair that those info can be found everywhere. I am more into the practical side as a photographer and what catches my eyes than anything. However, you have a point about the length of the video and for that, we should include a little more details. Cheers and have a good day.
Спасибо за обзор! всегда очень интересно и познавательно смотреть ваши видео. я являюсь обладателем Olympus OM-D E-M10 (первой версии). скажите, пожалуйста, есть ли смысл менять свою камеру на Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III? спасибо
Since I have been wading through all of the various models and features in the micro 4/3 world I will throw out a couple of thoughts that me help you make a decision between these two. The first major difference is the physical form of the two cameras... The Olympus handles more like a traditional DSLR,, the Panasonic is more like a rangefinder or compact Street camera type. Since both have only 16 megapixel sensors and no mic input or flip screens they're really not set up for the heavy-duty vlogger. Side by side I would probably choose the Olympus for the control setups, the grip, the viewfinder detail, the faster updated processor which will allow you to shoot Burst mode better,,and the deeper feature set with things like perspective correction...a lot of little things can add up... The GX is, no doubt, well made.. great little machine... You probably are safe either way..Just my 2 cents....
@@clintjohnson2460 The GX-85 kit is selling at a bargain basement price = a deal with two lenses. You will find it a good camera in many way, though a little more grain sets in at ISO800 or higher, but in perfect light, photos look the same or nearly the same as the Olympus cameras in same price range. The buttons and pad in back can be subject to accidental engagement, so do be careful in holding the camera. The viewer is a tad smaller than Olympus, but works OK. A great little street shooter camera. The Olympus OMD EM-10 II and PEN PL-8 bought through Adorama are my most recent buys and they are both great. All metal, unlike the newest Oly. My GX-85, and Olympus cameras are all great bargains -- can't go wrong. For image quality for the bucks -- dynamic range, and low price primes, my Nikon 3500 DSLR remains a great bargain between $399 and $450 for whole kit, two batteries and bag -- a steal. Mirrorless camera, it is not and thus some drawbacks. But I have them all and each has its selling points.
Hi Inna :) thanks for watching our review video! Well, it depends on your preference. E-PL 8 is older and more relating to EM-10 II. So if you ask me to compare between E-PL9 and EM10 III, then my answer is EM10 III. I prefer to have a viewfinder and not relying on the back screen because sometimes it's hard to see in bright sunny day. But if you love the style of E-PL series, then it's more a personal preference. I like both styles as they are very retro. Also, E-PL 9 and EM10 III both have 4K and High Speed videos that E-PL8 don't support.
I know you said that this camera is not weather-sealed, but how does it (and it's entry level lenses) handle light rain? I like shooting in the rain, so I'm wondering if I shouldn't spend a bit more and go for the E-M5 instead.
Very nice review! Do you think this is good first camera for someone like me who is just starting to get into photography? Or would it be better to get something like the Fuji or a DSLR instead?
Thank you for watching and also your nice comment! There's no straight answer but if you are just starting out, the EM10 III is definitely one of the best out there with all the 'iconised' menu together with AP mode which 'helps' you to get the shot you want with minimal fuss. I do enjoy using, even though I am a pro. Once you get used to the settings, you can then upgrade to a higher end model in the future. Fuji is similar but bigger and without the famous Olympus stabilisation (it's the best out there!). DSLR, is bigger and heavier. But in terms of taking photos, they are all similar and can get good shots. I just prefer the easy of use of the EM10III
Red35 Photography Hi thanks for the fast input! Yeah I think I might follow your advice and get the EM10III. I wanna get more into videography as well so I think the stabilization is gonna be a big plus. Again, thanks for the advice man! Keep it up :)
Hey Harmon, thanks for watching our review. Well, if you are comparing it with EM1 Mark 1, then the new E10 Mark III is on par if not better due to the more power sensor and new firmwares. Sharpness is more to do lens itself and the perceived sharpness is more on the relationship of the sensor resolution and output size on whatever viewing media you are going to deploy. Both can get sharp images and the new EM1 Mark II has 20MP vs 16MP on the EM10 III which will mean that it will look slightly sharper depends on the output size (screen, resolution or print media/size). So sharpness isn’t an easy thing to say but as a professional travel documentary and wedding photographer, sharpness isn’t always a key thing. In any case, if you only looking at sharpness, usually, a higher megapixel sensor will yield a more ‘detail’ photo in the end.
@@Red35Photography Thanks. I will definitely get the EM10 mark iii as my first Olympus camera and also the M Zuiko 60 mm macro lens because I basically shoot macro photographs 🙂🙂
correct me if I'm wrong, but a big feature difference for many is the 5 has an articulating screen, great for self blogging because you can see yourself, the 10 has a flip screen, you can't see yourself blog. The 5 also has a headphone jack if you use the vertical grip. The 10 has a built in flash, the 5 does not. The 5 is weather sealed, the 10 is not. good review!
Chagrin Valley-Web you are correct! Apart from the screen feature, I’ve mentioned everything :) thanks for pointing that out. Yet you can, if you wish to use O.I.Share to see yourself while vlogging. Thanks again for your comment and support :) cheers! J
Thanks for watching :) Yes, I genuinely love my EM5 II and I've been a big fan of it since the original, no doubt that I will get the Mark III when it comes out but as I do a little bit of a casual 4K filming these days, I reason it being more 'curren't than the EM5 II. Photographically, I think the EM5 II is more capable and better featured, though the new EM10 III is faster due to the new processor. But I use my EM1 II to film anyway, this is my review on the EM10 III :)
Hi, I'm a beginner and will getting my first mirrorless camera..entry level of course. Should I be getting Olympus OM-D M10 Mark III or Fujifilm XT100 ? I'm torn between these two. Thank you.
I am using Nikon D500 for my fashion & portrait shooting, while I'm now want to have a light weight camera for my hiking & daily family uses, thank you so much for your detailed review on e-m10, I think I'll go for e-m10 instead of e-m5. BTW, if I want a wide angle lens for my hiking & a standard lens for family, which lens should I get for the e-m10 respectively?
Thanks Kenji, it depends on your budget. For wide angle, I would suggest a 12mm f2 (24mm equivalent in full frame), very nice and small and for standard, a 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro is definitely a good choice, super sharp, light and small (24-80mm equivalent). I hope this helps.
Very enjoyable review, thank you. I have an E-M10 Mark III (amongst other OM-Ds!) and agree that its increased resemblance to the E-M5 Mark II's styling makes it very attractive looking indeed. One thing I have to disagree with though, is that to me it doesn't feel more solid than the E-M5 Mark II, just almost as solid(!) - it does feel more solid than its own predecessor, the E-M10 Mark II, though. Actually this is quite surprising, because the Mark III is actually the first OM-D with a polycarbonate top and base plate instead of metal - but luckily Olympus has used such a high quality polycarbonate construction that it doesn't look or feel "cheap" in any way. The previous E-M10 Mark II had quite a thin-feeling metal construction unlike the other OM-D models (very solid cast metal for them) and I think that's the reason the Mark III feels better than the E-M10 Mark II, but the E-M5 Mark II feels solid as a rock and is heavier than either of the E-M10 variants. Look really closely at the front of the E-M10 Mark III and you will eventually see the really fine moulding lines of its polycarbonate covers - it also feels warmer because of this (the inset brushed-effect panels are metal or metal-plated though and of course the dials are still metal). I suspect that the reason you can feel the sensor movement more easily is that he construction of the body doesn't damp the resonances quite as effectively.The Mark III is easily the friendliest OM-D or Pen ever for newcomers to the system, due to the graphical interface - incidentally you can also select the individual modes in the AP mode (and Art mode etc.) by touching the icons across the bottom of the screen, as well as by selecting them with dials and buttons. The menu system of the camera is also less complex than that of all the other OM-D models, being shorter, which will please many new users - though unfortunately this has been achieved by leaving out rather a lot of configuration choices that some existing Olympus users will have previously found very useful and will miss.One caveat about the AP mode is that it generally only allows itself to be used in Program mode - usually shiftable at least, but not in all the available modes within it. It also tends to preset certain settings when you first turn the mode dial to it (the AF points, face detection, picture style etc.) which you can override to your preference and it will remember your changes - until you leave the AP mode position; it will be reset to the defaults again when you next come back. Unfortunately some settings cannot be overridden in AP mode though - the noise filter for example - it's always on standard - and you cannot turn off the setting that leaves warm colour casts in AWB under artificial light in AP mode. Certain modes like Live Composite and Focus Bracketing are considerably simplified compared with other OM-D models (though Live Composite also lives on in its "full fat" version in M mode; however, Focus Bracketing is not available elsewhere). Frustratingly, exposure bracketing and silent shutter are NOT available anywhere other than in AP mode, so are effectively limited to being used in program exposure only.So, there are pros and cons with this new model, due to the new approach it is taking. I am sure it will very effectively attract some new users to the system who may have found the other OM-D cameras too complex in their user interface. The E-M10 Mark II remains available for now at a lower price than the Mark II, and has nearly all of the features (and complexity) of the E-M5 Mark II, and as you say, that latter model is now pretty near in price to the Mark III, so there's a good wide choice for everyone!
Wow, thanks for spending time watching our review and comment! Also you definitely broke the record for being the most detailed feedback ever since our channel started 11 months ago! Yes, there are some valid points indeed. The Mark III does use polycarbonate top and bottom plates but so are many bigger cameras these days to save weight (and costs). As a beginner camera, certain presets doesn't do any harm at all and if they 'out grow' them, they can move on to semi or full auto for more precise controls. Those are starting points. I do love the EM-5 II and still a great camera in my opinion, though these days, I use EM1 II for most of my work and the EM-5 II is now a backup/casual family walk around camera :) Thanks again and hope you subscribe as we have many more interesting Olympus stuff coming :)
My son broke my E-PL7 (he drop it & broke the metal edge of the LCD back display), I am shopping for a replacement. I guess either E-M5 Mark 2 or E-M10 Mark 3. Is the build quality of mark 3 at least as good as the E-PL7? I don't need weatherproof but I want a camera last for at 5 years or up. My old Nikon D3100 last forever. Thanks.
Thanks for your nice reply! I subscribed as soon as I saw your review, I'm happy to say. I look forward to watching your forthcoming Olympus reviews. I'm afraid I always talk (or type) too much!!
Hey Karl, thanks for watching!! Much appreciated your support! Well, I think all OM-D cameras are very well put together and I can say that EM10 III is better built than E-PL7 and a little heavier, even though it uses polycarbonate top and bottom plates. Feels solid enough to rival EM-5 and EM-1 minus the weather seal. It should last you a few years, just try not to crop it, the flip out screen or any similar system is not as solid as fixed screen, though it adds flexibility.
Hey thanks for watching. Well, that depends on your skill level, if you have used it for a long time, you may want to upgrade to EM5 for more manual controls. However, if you are happy at your current level, and want a upgraded features, yes :)
Hey, can I ask what external mic or audio recorder do you use? I'd like to buy the Mark OMD 10 III but I'm not sure how to resolve the lack of external mic there. Have a nice day and thank you!
Thanks Veronika. We use Rode SmartLav+ and iPhone using the Rode app in this video. All our recent videos actually use the same mic but using an external Olympus LS-P1 recorder (you do need a Rode adaptor to convert the smart phone adaptor to recorder's 3.5mm jack)
Thank you for the quick response! So using the Olympus LS-P1 recorder would work as an external mic? Sorry if I'm getting it wrong, it's all new for me.
Well, it's just a recorder and you will record a separate sound file that you will need to sync back during edit. Not a huge problem. Or you can use the LS-P1 and a lav mic for even better result, especially with strong wind or in a noisy environment.
Both are excellent camera and it depends on whether you want a smaller, more compact and excellent body stablisation for photos and videos. If they are yes, I think the EM10 III is good. Fuji is excellent with its JPG film colours that everyone loves. But once you master your skills, these colours can be achieved in post production too, no matter which camera you use.
sandesh nagori Well, that depends on your budget really. A general purpose zoom or a standard prime is always something I would suggest first. Zoom is like 12-40mm or something similar and a prime like 25mm is good.(full frame equi of 24-80mm and 50mm)
Hi Mani, thanks for watching our video and support! Yes it does the job well enough and it’s 4K is pretty good entry level video. When using good lenses, you can achieve some stunning results. To me, it does the job well and ultimately it’s down to directing, editing and content. this is a tool that will get the footage. You have to try it at a store to see the video features to see if it’s sufficient for your needs.
Hi, I have an Em5 ii right now. Is it worth an exchange for em10 iii or lumix g85, or should I just wait for em5 iii? I would pretty much do 50% still 50% video, the look of the camera will somewhat little affect my choice also.
Larry Vo hi Larry! Thanks for your comment :) well if you like the EM5 II at the moment, I will wait for the mark iii because, to me, the build quality is much better than Panasonic. I also love the control dials and IBIS is also better by at least .5 stop the mark II was a big step for Olympus on video front and mark iii will be a blast. Photos? Well I always op for Olympus as it does have better colours and rendition.
Tks a lot, i actually just got my em5 ii month ago, i will probably stick with em5 ii and wait for em5 iii, which will probably release next year. You gain urself a subscriber mate.
Kelvz Alvaira first, thanks for watching :) second, my name is not Brad :) third, in terms of camera features and learning different tricks in photography and lens choices in the future, Olympus is much better since M43 platform has lots of lenses from beginner to pro! Canon mirrorless M series, only has a very limited lenses and doesn’t offer too many features either.
Thanks Krisztian, you are probably the first one to comment about background noise. I use a good quality Lav mic and it's more like our noisy London that trouble you more. Background music, umm, it's an acquire taste, we have some viewers told us it's too loud and some don't bother too much. But we value your comment and will continue to monitor our videos :) Have a good day.
The background music is loud and distracting, that's for sure, and i still believe that the mic picks up a lot of background noise (like at the park, from 8:11 you can hear birds chirping, kids from far away way louder than you should hear them) the combination of the two got me triggered. Also the combination of the two requires more focus from non native english speakers (like myself, with better audio i wouldn't have any issues). Will send you a mail on this.
Well 2 late lol I already bought the MK III for 550 bucks on Amazon. It is really cheap I guess. I hope to practice on EM10 till I am good enough and move to a better camera. Great review! ^^
Its 2019. I'm only going with cameras that have IS such as this one. There is no good reason to spend so much money on the cameras that dont like the new 900 dollar a6400. These companies are just milking the consumer. All the Olympus and Panasonic cameras have so many awesome features.
carryit around YES! I did and quite dangerous actually, cars were literally next to me and people were looking out to see what Tracey and I were doing :)
Nice video but you missed a couple of points: the first this camera does not support the Olympus pro lens buttons, you cannot shoot silent in Manual mode, no flippy screen ( compared to the M5 II), no battery grip. I do have it and like it but had to buy the M5 II which is to me a better camera.
Farith Jamli hey hey! Thanks for watching!! Well, how serious are you planning on videoing? If you are leaning more towards video, GX85 may have a few more tricks in that department. EM10 shoots nice 4K but you can’t change much apart from default settings. FHD has higher frame rate though. And it an awesome still camera.
Farith Jamli To me it is, since Olympus has more funky features that allows you to take some awesome shots with easy, especially with EM10. But if you like to have more options in the video department, Panasonic is slightly (only slightly) better but in terms of quality, Panasonic video has higher contrast and Olympus, in my opinion, has better colours.
Red35 Photography Thank you for your reply. I suppose I should take G85 then because Olympus i just fell in love with the stabilization. But after trying at a store just now, with Panasonic Dual IS, the stabilization for Panasonic G85 with dual IS and E-M10 III in body stabilization, is the same.
Farith Jamli You are welcome. Mind you Dual IS only works with specific lenses only, same goes with either Olympus or Panasonic. In terms of IBIS (body stabilisation) Olympus is way better :)
My wife hates fiddly tech but would like to learn photography with a simple digital camera. This one almost seems custom made for her. Thanks for the informative video. Now, I'm wondering what gear you are using to shoot your video with? That would make an interesting video in its own right.
Thanks Christopher! In fact, we shoot everything Olympus :) Mostly unless stated otherwise. Since we switched to 4K recording, we have been using OM-D E-M1 Mark II and various lenses. In most cases, the EM-10 III will shoot sharp 4K and 1080 videos just like its bigger brother minus some manual options since it's still an entry level camera but once you get used to it, it's good for future upgrade. EM-10 is very easy to use and mostly automated and JPG colours are nice and pleasing to most :)
I've been shooting Olympus for a long time - D-500L, E-330, E-30, and more recently OM-D E-M1 (original). I even own a couple OM-1s. I also shoot Canon with a 7D kit, although it's been gathering dust almost continuously since I purchased the E-M1 some time ago. I prefer the handing, interface, size, weight, and image quality from the Olympus, which rather relegates the Canon to my storage cupboard. What I noticed in your video was the beautiful focus falloff in some of your shots. I was wondering if you were perhaps employing any of the new prime pro lenses while filming it (17mm or 25mm)? I find myself using the 12-40mm Pro or the 40-150mm Pro, most often, but the 17mm 1.2 and the 45mm 1.2 are really drawing my attention of late.
Both are incredibly good, EM10 III is newer and has 4K shooting, but only 16Mp, it's good, but if you want higher res, PEN-F has 20Mp but only shoots 1080p I love both.
@@Red35Photography thanks mate.. me going for mk3. Olympus having a sale now in Singapore and it's cheaper than Pen F. So yeah.. got to give and take some. Lol.
Nice review, but I'd have preferred if you'd used the electronic zoom kit lens that comes with it for testing. Bit unfair to sing the virtues of it being an entry level camera then use a lens that costs £400 more than the body. :)
Thanks Gary!! Much appreciated your comment indeed. Well, first, Olympus didn't send me the kit lens and I don't have any in my collection (a downside of being a pro LOL). But I highlighted the point of the EM10 III can grow with your photography and it's a nice examples that any potential buyers can see that this body, even though it's an entry level camera, can mate to much more expensive and quality lenses and still take brilliant pictures and videos. This camera can last for years of service :) Have a nice day!
That's fair. I'll be upgrading to this from my older E-P3 from 2012 which I'm still very fond of. I wanted something to take away with me that was lighter than my 7D and 24-105 and It's served me well on my trips to Italy. I take a lot of street photography when it's not often the brightest and I think I'd be better served by the upgraded image stabilisation. I have the older 14-42 manual zoom and have been wondering about the comparison between that and the electronic version. Bit worried about it being too laggy when I need to compose quickly. These are my street photos taken with the E-P3 if you'd be interested in having a look. www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LeitmotifCreations
Understood. You got some pretty images! Thanks for sharing. In terms of lens, the manual zoom will always be 'faster' for composition because I had the other EZ lens before when I bought my EM-5 way back. It was smooth for videoing but if you want quick zoom action, then you can pretty much forget it. It depends on if you want to do a bit of videoing with that EZ feature :)
Robert-Jan Zondag Always Olympus, 5 axis stabilisation, nice jpeg's, custom everY Button. Pana ist more popular, but in my eyes oly is much better in Photo.
Thanks for watching :) Well, I can tell you that the EM10 III feels much more solid than Lumix G80, and heavier due to the extended use of metal, and this is true to all OM-D and Pen F cameras, quality just shines above Lumix cameras, in my opinion. I also like Olympus' colours too and if you are more of a photographer than videographer, Olympus is a better choice still :)
Well, EM10 III is a newer camera compare to G81. AF is quicker because the G81 is more of a EM10 II rival than the EM10 III. The EM10 III also has the latest TruPic VIII processor which helps AF speeds and overall performances. Build quality is, to me at least, much better with Olympus than Panasonic, in general, apart from the top end cameras.
Thanks for your reply. I thought G81 is superior to EM10 III. & thats what I thought regarding newer camera, im sure it has few advantages against older camera, thats why I am really considering EM10 III. Well I am beginner anyway, but wouldnt mind to have more than basic camera. For now what I dont like is the handling, it is a bit too small for my hand. Is there a way to fix that? And 1 last thing, for sure I will buy the 40-150 pro (if I ended with EM10 III), even though its big, but I love to hv the option to shoot 300mm
@@ronaldyudoadityo8192 You can add a third party grip. One like this is pretty cool www.amazon.co.uk/Fotodiox-Olympus-OM-D-M10-Mark-Mirrorless/dp/B07C5W5Z69/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1542891677&sr=1-2&keywords=em10+iii+grip
Hi, brand new subsriber here. Want to know what lav mic did you use here and the recording software/hardware as well. Just watched the new series, fantastic topic.
Thanks Gabriel! Much appreciated your support mate. The lav mic I used was the Rode SmartLav+ and Olympus LS-P4 recorder. No additional software, but we used Final Cut Pro X for all edits including sound.
You can use the Olympus O.I. Share app from the App Store. Follow the instruction and link the camera to the phone app. After, you will see 'Import' option.
Hi Wai, thanks for watching our video. Well, spec to spec, if your focus is photos, EM5 II is still a better camera as it has more features than EM10 III and in particular if you want to take control of absolutely everything. Though EM10 III is a much newer camera and EM5 II is due for an update sometime this year. EM5 II also has a metal body and weather sealed. Even when the EM5 Iii is out, the price will be a lot more than the current price simply because the current model has been out for a little while. Having said that, it's still a very capable camera that won't disappoint people and those colours are just lovely!
I just bought the omd em10 mark 3 last week with 17mm 1.8. I just can say I really love it. The build quality is unreal. Hold it every night before I go to sleep hehe
Thanks for watching our video! Yes, I always say that Olympus camera build quality is really good, no matter which one you choose. Glad you like the Mark III and enjoy shooting! Have a nice day!
Red35 Photography thank you. Hope you do more review of Olympus Camera.
I can understand you! Few days ago I bought a omd 10 mk ii but I sent back to change to a mk iii just without lens because I bought a 60 mm macro lens so what I want to say, every night I came to see my camera!!! I just love it!!!
The Olympus OM system came out in 1972, not in the 80s. I brought the first one that came to my town worked the hell out of it I still have it works just as well today. Lots of dings, and scracthes which says something about Olympus quality. The one objection pros had with the OM 1 was the flash synchs at 1/60 of a second which sometimes allowed "ghost imaging" . It had to do with the curtain running from left to right a longer run. Nikon ran up, and down shorter run allowing a 1/125 of a second.
This was explained to me by Yoshihisa Maitani Olympus design genius whom I had the privilege to meet. I have never used anything but Olympus. I subscribed your are becoming a favorite of mine great reviews.
I have been taking photography seriously for the past 37 years, and have owned both Olympus (OM) and professional Nikon systems. Recently, I took a punt on the OM-D E-M Mk III - to run alongside the Nikon cameras - just to see if Micro Four Thirds was all that it is claimed to be.
Small, light, and a joy to use when out taking photographs for the sake of doing so, I never leave home without it. Image quality is easily good enough up to A2 prints at normal viewing distances, and the in-camera Art Filters and Advanced Photo modes are fun to use. Add excellent image stabilisation into the mix and high ISO performance is less of an issue.
This is the best review of the EM 10 MK II I've seen and you've convinced me to buy omw, thank you so much!
Thanks Mike! Much appreciated your comment and we are glad that you liked our review! Well, enjoy this great little camera!
omd em 10 mk iii
Very good review and glad to see someone doing Olympus reviews in positive light still highlighting all the facts.
On the other note, found background music too loud and distracting. You may want to rethink about that in future videos.
Thanks Sagar! Much appreciated your comment. We constantly review comment and improve. cheers and have a nice day!
I'm going to buy one soon, thanks for your review.
Wow, this was very helpful, excellent attention to detail. Keep up the good work😀👍🏼
Thanks Harshad! Much appreciated your support! Have a nice day.
Nice review and it makes me glad I bought the EM10 Mk3.......After 25 years with digital fixed lens cameras I finally went for the EM10 Mk3 with a 12-150 lens too and only last night I got the 7mm ultra wide angle on EBAY.
I still have my Fuji S4500 with the16mp and 30X zoom so this one will be a bit different with the ability to use any 4/3 lens around.
Jimmy-fantastic review ! You have answered a lot of questions I had on the current EM-5 vrs. the EM-10. Please do a review on the EM-5 Keep up the great work!
Sure, I can definitely organise one :) I am currently building up a library on all Olympus gear review so it will take time to finish but it should be quite interesting once I have them done!
Thanks again for watching and stay tuned for more OM-D and M4/3 stuff coming soon!
Decided to buy it after seeing your review. Best decision ever
Just got mine today✨
This is a GREAT review!
Im a user of EM 10iii. Thanks for sharing. You got me man.
Cool review dude! Keep on rocking!
Thanks Cris!! Much appreciated mate :) Definitely rocking the camera LOL
Excellent and thourogh review! Thank you!
Thank you Stephan!! Much appreciated and have a good day!
Useful review, but the background music is loud and distracting.
it is????
Lol yes
What?
I have OMD E-M10 mark II that had a built in flash 5:13 . Other than that, you just gain one subscriber. Keep it up!
Thanks Clarisa :) You are absolutely correct!! Well, what I meant was the latest line up :D
I had a D7200 but got rid of it last year. I spent some time without a camera, but wanted to get back into photography. I recently saw a sweet deal with the OM-D E-M10 Mark III with 2 lenses (and the very good 45mm 1.8 for free - so 3 lenses in total) for an incredible £500. The camera menu system is a little neutered compared to how the old OM-D E-M10s and I'm not sure if any of the menus have had tweaks in firmware updates since the Mark III was released, but I do know that Olympus added back the remote flash capability because a lot of folks were annoyed that that was removed.
Thanks Jimmy!
Thanks for your support again ;) Have a good day my friend!
best review about the em10 iii
great review, i would say if video is a priority panasonic is a no brainer, having just used my first olympus today after using panasonic for years for stills, im so gutted i didnt go for oly. their cameras are just amzing in the hands. il be trading my gx7 in for a em10 soon. they are that good.
luckily my lenses will go straight over : )
Thanks for sharing your view mate! Have a nice day
That new Advanced mode on the dial is really really nice... saves stumbling through the menu system for thing like livetime
Thanks for the review, great job as per usual except I agree with other comments about music... please lose it haha
I got mine since US Release. So far so good.
Glad that you enjoy your EM10 III so far! it's a great little camera that really can take anywhere :)
I should have this delivered to,my door in the next hour or so. First decent camera and I can’t wait.
Enjoy your new camera!
I haven’t shot Olympus in a while since the Evolt 510 but recently bought an E-M10 mIII. Is there a way to activate Supersonic Wave Filter to clean the sensor Like the old Four thirds cameras did? When I shut my camera off I don’t hear the SSWF vibrate like the old cameras use to.
It's a great review. I have my em10 mark i from few years ago. I'm not satisfied with it high ISO performance. Is em10 mark iii have better performance in high ISO compare to mark i? Should I upgrade to mark iii in terms of ISO performance? Thanks
the em10 iii does have focus point size adjustment. a vertical slider appears on the right of the live view screen.
FPV Outlaw that’s after the firmware update. It wasn’t available when we reviewed it. :)
If I use vario 7-14mm lense, 114 degree is the widest angle in video mode(not photo mode) without inner camera stabilization??
I just sold my penf had a some problems with missing focus and tracking even slow moving subjects. I am left with a 25 1.2 pro hehe... Now looking for either 10 mk 3 or the big brother 1 mk 2 with the price reduced white a bit, omd 1 MK2 looks like a great camera! Btw, great video as always 👍
AlteredStar Studios cheers! If you like to shoot moving subjects, EM1 II is the better choice :)
Was wondering what would be the best pro lense for the Em10 m111? Will be used for general use, street and buildings from the outside?
The lack of weather sealing and that of a fully articulated screen tilts the balance in favour of EM-5 mark II, in my honest opinion!!! But then that's just me!!! Good review though except for the fact that the lack of a fully articulated screen was nit mentioned here. For some people who does You-tube videos all on their own, this is a deal breaker!!!
I can understand that :) But Olympus needs a separation line between the EM5 and EM10 line hence, the exclusion to certain features. I am looking forward to the next EM5 actually, it should be phenomenal :)
Hi! :) I've tried to look up whether the camera has the 40mpx high-res shot mode like the Mark 5 II but I can't find it anywhere. Do you know if it does or not? :) Thank you!
Hi Veronika, no the EM10 series never sports any hi-res mode, if you like hi-res, you need EM5 II, EM1 II or PEN-F :)
Can you adjust the strength of the color filters like for example the monochrome Justin like the Pen F?
Nice review bro!
I want to ask you which one is better in 2018 for my first mirrorless camera, between em10 mk iii and sony a6300?
Thank you! :)
going to buy this camera and the kit 14-40mm lens this january!it will film 10x better than my Nikon D750 camera!I am almost thinking of buying the Nikon D500 to film with but it costs 3x more than this setup!

I want an Oly again but I am not sure if I am going to use it due my phone is nice to take photos in my travels 😅
I just purchased my first camera that is not a point and shoot! I bought the OM-D E-M10 III from Olympus can't wait for it to arrive!!
Shannon Mori enjoy and let me know how you get on
Nice review! How close would you say the EM10iii is to the PEN-F? Looks like a good few new options. I think there is a lot of crossover at the moment and can be a bit confusing. What lens were you using - is it the 25mm 1.2 PRO?
It Genetics Limited Well, I think any OM-D cameras are different to Pen F because of the form factor, Pen F has the rangefinder-styling with the EVF on the side instead of inside the housing on top and in the middle of the camera, more of the traditional SLR profile. In terms of features, I think the Pen F is closer to EM-5 minus the weather seal but prettier and includes a higher 20mp sensor, just like the EM-1 II. EM-10 III is unique and its feature set/manual system is gearing for beginners and casual shooters. But I found it’s quite a compelling camera to shoot, even as a professional.
Oh I was using the 25 1.2 Pro and 12mm f/2 wide
is it more comfortable to hold than the fuji xt20? i tried the fuji and it was horrible!
Awesome review! I have Mark III with a standard lens 14-42 and I am looking to invest inot a better lens mostly for fashion and product photography. Would you be able to recommend one or do review on lenses. And I have question if Olympus is interchangeable with other lenses or only Zuiko lens.
Thanks Olga, I will do a video on it, yes, you can use other lenses and I hope my video will demonstrate that (coming soon).
Canceled my order on the E-M10 Mark II and order a Mark III after i saw this video.
It is my first camera and this looks awesome, will be so awesome to learn photograph :D
Awesome video, thank you so much.
Thanks Eric!! Much appreciated your comment and support. Enjoy your new camera!!
Got it right here now :D Couldn't bare my self so went for the store right in the morning!
So much settings though, i have no idea what im doing.
You don't happens to have place for a tutorial video covering the settings on this camera? ;)
The best place to start is switch to AP mode. It has lots of icons and description on what you may want to achieve. Have a play and I am happy to answer any question :)
Hello again,
Now i have been playing around with my beloved camera for some time, and i have red up on what different settings do, kinda...
One thing i have some problems with is focusing and getting shard pictures. Im using the 14-42mm kit lens and can get some really sharp pictures in daylight. But when it is getting dim and/or inside if i have auto-ISO the camera often set the iso to 6400 and that what i think makes all the pictures note so sharp as i want to.
Do you have any tips or video on this so i can learn more on how to get nice pictures? :D
Thanks again!!!
Hi Eric, thanks for getting back. No problem. Well, like any camera, no matter which brand it is, when shooting at high ISO, you will get 'mushy' photos. I tend to reserve this setting for emergency. Kit lens has a much smaller aperture so it's hard to not use high ISO. The only workaround is either to slow your shutter and lower the ISO setting, which is totally fine with the stabilisation of this camera. Or you can get a faster (bigger aperture) lens. Kit lens aren't really great for low light photography and hence the reason. If you are photographing people, you may also consider using flash to assist too. In many cases, it's a matter of finding the 'lights'.
Thank you for sharing! I have watched your reviews for 17, 25 and 45 Lens and also this one. You are incredibly entertaining and you do a great job of keep attention.
I do have this camera and would like to be able to shoot video. What kind of a mic are you using to record audio?
Joseph Elsberry wow!! Thanks Joseph! Glad you like Ku style! I use the Rode smart Lav + and recorded externally on my iPhone and sync back after.
Hi, which lenses were you using during the shoot? I can recognize a zuiko 12mm but not the other two.
Thanks!
good review mate but like simon i do find de background music loud and distracting cause it's on repeat. i would take a moment also with more easy listening audio and go deeper in the specs. no the review as at the same enrgie 'level' for 20 minutes
Thanks mate for your comment. We are constantly reviewing and hope to get better :) One thing is that I don't want to drill too deep into specs as it's a standard affair that those info can be found everywhere. I am more into the practical side as a photographer and what catches my eyes than anything. However, you have a point about the length of the video and for that, we should include a little more details. Cheers and have a good day.
Спасибо за обзор! всегда очень интересно и познавательно смотреть ваши видео.
я являюсь обладателем Olympus OM-D E-M10 (первой версии). скажите, пожалуйста, есть ли смысл менять свою камеру на Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III?

Hello fantastic review btw, Just wondering which would be better Olympus em10 m3 or lumix gx85? Thanks!
I've been asking the same question!!
Since I have been wading through all of the various models and features in the micro 4/3 world I will throw out a couple of thoughts that me help you make a decision between these two. The first major difference is the physical form of the two cameras... The Olympus handles more like a traditional DSLR,, the Panasonic is more like a rangefinder or compact Street camera type. Since both have only 16 megapixel sensors and no mic input or flip screens they're really not set up for the heavy-duty vlogger. Side by side I would probably choose the Olympus for the control setups, the grip, the viewfinder detail, the faster updated processor which will allow you to shoot Burst mode better,,and the deeper feature set with things like perspective correction...a lot of little things can add up... The GX is, no doubt, well made.. great little machine... You probably are safe either way..Just my 2 cents....
@@clintjohnson2460 The GX-85 kit is selling at a bargain basement price = a deal with two lenses. You will find it a good camera in many way, though a little more grain sets in at ISO800 or higher, but in perfect light, photos look the same or nearly the same as the Olympus cameras in same price range. The buttons and pad in back can be subject to accidental engagement, so do be careful in holding the camera. The viewer is a tad smaller than Olympus, but works OK. A great little street shooter camera. The Olympus OMD EM-10 II and PEN PL-8 bought through Adorama are my most recent buys and they are both great. All metal, unlike the newest Oly.
My GX-85, and Olympus cameras are all great bargains -- can't go wrong. For image quality for the bucks -- dynamic range, and low price primes, my Nikon 3500 DSLR remains a great bargain between $399 and $450 for whole kit, two batteries and bag -- a steal. Mirrorless camera, it is not and thus some drawbacks. But I have them all and each has its selling points.
Should buy 3 em10 Mark iii with different lens attach for travel photography ?
Umm... can't see the reason for 3. two may be in the most extreme case. But it's your needs :)
It’s possible somehow with some adapter to attach an external microphone!!!
Keep it up. Nice comparison
Thank you for watching our video, much appreciated! Have a good day!
Hi ! If you had to choose between this model and an E-PL 8/9? Which would you go for ? Thank you
Hi Inna :) thanks for watching our review video! Well, it depends on your preference. E-PL 8 is older and more relating to EM-10 II. So if you ask me to compare between E-PL9 and EM10 III, then my answer is EM10 III. I prefer to have a viewfinder and not relying on the back screen because sometimes it's hard to see in bright sunny day. But if you love the style of E-PL series, then it's more a personal preference. I like both styles as they are very retro. Also, E-PL 9 and EM10 III both have 4K and High Speed videos that E-PL8 don't support.
Hi, do you know any specific gimbal that can fit this OM-D E-M10 MIII? By the way, may I know the type of lens that you mounted to the camera? Tq!
Zhiyun WeeBill Lab or the latest WeeBill S or similar DJI Ronin RC also works fine. The lens is Olympus 12mm f2

I know you said that this camera is not weather-sealed, but how does it (and it's entry level lenses) handle light rain? I like shooting in the rain, so I'm wondering if I shouldn't spend a bit more and go for the E-M5 instead.
Light rain is fine but if you constantly shoot in the rain, I would recommend em5 instead
@@Red35Photography Thanks for your input! I have some thinking to do :)
Hope Olympus will keep the promise and stay on m43.
marioplus321 oh yes they will :)
Very nice review! Do you think this is good first camera for someone like me who is just starting to get into photography? Or would it be better to get something like the Fuji or a DSLR instead?
Thank you for watching and also your nice comment! There's no straight answer but if you are just starting out, the EM10 III is definitely one of the best out there with all the 'iconised' menu together with AP mode which 'helps' you to get the shot you want with minimal fuss. I do enjoy using, even though I am a pro. Once you get used to the settings, you can then upgrade to a higher end model in the future. Fuji is similar but bigger and without the famous Olympus stabilisation (it's the best out there!). DSLR, is bigger and heavier. But in terms of taking photos, they are all similar and can get good shots. I just prefer the easy of use of the EM10III
Red35 Photography Hi thanks for the fast input! Yeah I think I might follow your advice and get the EM10III. I wanna get more into videography as well so I think the stabilization is gonna be a big plus. Again, thanks for the advice man! Keep it up :)
MrWeizhi926 you are welcome indeed! Enjoy the new camera and keep shooting!
Would love to see a comparison with the Lumix GX9
Ohhhh yes :) see if I can borrow one!
Hi! Is there any image quality difference between the EM 1 and EM 10 like Sharpness etc?
Hey Harmon, thanks for watching our review. Well, if you are comparing it with EM1 Mark 1, then the new E10 Mark III is on par if not better due to the more power sensor and new firmwares. Sharpness is more to do lens itself and the perceived sharpness is more on the relationship of the sensor resolution and output size on whatever viewing media you are going to deploy. Both can get sharp images and the new EM1 Mark II has 20MP vs 16MP on the EM10 III which will mean that it will look slightly sharper depends on the output size (screen, resolution or print media/size). So sharpness isn’t an easy thing to say but as a professional travel documentary and wedding photographer, sharpness isn’t always a key thing. In any case, if you only looking at sharpness, usually, a higher megapixel sensor will yield a more ‘detail’ photo in the end.
@@Red35Photography Thanks. I will definitely get the EM10 mark iii as my first Olympus camera and also the M Zuiko 60 mm macro lens because I basically shoot macro photographs 🙂🙂
correct me if I'm wrong, but a big feature difference for many is the 5 has an articulating screen, great for self blogging because you can see yourself, the 10 has a flip screen, you can't see yourself blog. The 5 also has a headphone jack if you use the vertical grip. The 10 has a built in flash, the 5 does not. The 5 is weather sealed, the 10 is not. good review!
Chagrin Valley-Web you are correct! Apart from the screen feature, I’ve mentioned everything :) thanks for pointing that out. Yet you can, if you wish to use O.I.Share to see yourself while vlogging. Thanks again for your comment and support :) cheers! J
What about the flimsy battery door looking like its about to break any second? :-)
em5 mark 2 all day. I agree with you about 4k, but I love the em5 mark 2 for photography , and I would get a different 4k camera for video.
Thanks for watching :) Yes, I genuinely love my EM5 II and I've been a big fan of it since the original, no doubt that I will get the Mark III when it comes out but as I do a little bit of a casual 4K filming these days, I reason it being more 'curren't than the EM5 II. Photographically, I think the EM5 II is more capable and better featured, though the new EM10 III is faster due to the new processor. But I use my EM1 II to film anyway, this is my review on the EM10 III :)
The Post Color Blog meh, mark 2 wasnt a decent enough upgrade from the original em5 ....
Em5 wins in terms of features but Image quality wise would be the same for still photography. Or maybe better on em10iii due to superior processor idk
Red35 Photography Any release date set for it?
For the EM10III? It's out now. If you are asking for EM5 III, then no, but the cycle suggests that it should be 2018.
Hi, I'm a beginner and will getting my first mirrorless camera..entry level of course. Should I be getting Olympus OM-D M10 Mark III or Fujifilm XT100 ? I'm torn between these two. Thank you.
Not sure if you got your cam already. I am a beginner too and thought of the same Fuji but it is a lot more expensive camera.
I am really not sure what mic you are using but you have to upgrade, i hope you did since this is an old video
How to photograph panorama
By. EM-10 MARK III
I am using Nikon D500 for my fashion & portrait shooting, while I'm now want to have a light weight camera for my hiking & daily family uses, thank you so much for your detailed review on e-m10, I think I'll go for e-m10 instead of e-m5.
BTW, if I want a wide angle lens for my hiking & a standard lens for family, which lens should I get for the e-m10 respectively?
Thanks Kenji, it depends on your budget. For wide angle, I would suggest a 12mm f2 (24mm equivalent in full frame), very nice and small and for standard, a 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro is definitely a good choice, super sharp, light and small (24-80mm equivalent). I hope this helps.
Red35 Photography Thank you so much!! That helps a lot!!
Olympus em5 m2 vs olympus em10 m3 wich is best ?? Please answer
Very enjoyable review, thank you. I have an E-M10 Mark III (amongst other OM-Ds!) and agree that its increased resemblance to the E-M5 Mark II's styling makes it very attractive looking indeed. One thing I have to disagree with though, is that to me it doesn't feel more solid than the E-M5 Mark II, just almost as solid(!) - it does feel more solid than its own predecessor, the E-M10 Mark II, though. Actually this is quite surprising, because the Mark III is actually the first OM-D with a polycarbonate top and base plate instead of metal - but luckily Olympus has used such a high quality polycarbonate construction that it doesn't look or feel "cheap" in any way. The previous E-M10 Mark II had quite a thin-feeling metal construction unlike the other OM-D models (very solid cast metal for them) and I think that's the reason the Mark III feels better than the E-M10 Mark II, but the E-M5 Mark II feels solid as a rock and is heavier than either of the E-M10 variants. Look really closely at the front of the E-M10 Mark III and you will eventually see the really fine moulding lines of its polycarbonate covers - it also feels warmer because of this (the inset brushed-effect panels are metal or metal-plated though and of course the dials are still metal). I suspect that the reason you can feel the sensor movement more easily is that he construction of the body doesn't damp the resonances quite as effectively.The Mark III is easily the friendliest OM-D or Pen ever for newcomers to the system, due to the graphical interface - incidentally you can also select the individual modes in the AP mode (and Art mode etc.) by touching the icons across the bottom of the screen, as well as by selecting them with dials and buttons. The menu system of the camera is also less complex than that of all the other OM-D models, being shorter, which will please many new users - though unfortunately this has been achieved by leaving out rather a lot of configuration choices that some existing Olympus users will have previously found very useful and will miss.One caveat about the AP mode is that it generally only allows itself to be used in Program mode - usually shiftable at least, but not in all the available modes within it. It also tends to preset certain settings when you first turn the mode dial to it (the AF points, face detection, picture style etc.) which you can override to your preference and it will remember your changes - until you leave the AP mode position; it will be reset to the defaults again when you next come back. Unfortunately some settings cannot be overridden in AP mode though - the noise filter for example - it's always on standard - and you cannot turn off the setting that leaves warm colour casts in AWB under artificial light in AP mode. Certain modes like Live Composite and Focus Bracketing are considerably simplified compared with other OM-D models (though Live Composite also lives on in its "full fat" version in M mode; however, Focus Bracketing is not available elsewhere). Frustratingly, exposure bracketing and silent shutter are NOT available anywhere other than in AP mode, so are effectively limited to being used in program exposure only.So, there are pros and cons with this new model, due to the new approach it is taking. I am sure it will very effectively attract some new users to the system who may have found the other OM-D cameras too complex in their user interface. The E-M10 Mark II remains available for now at a lower price than the Mark II, and has nearly all of the features (and complexity) of the E-M5 Mark II, and as you say, that latter model is now pretty near in price to the Mark III, so there's a good wide choice for everyone!
Wow, thanks for spending time watching our review and comment! Also you definitely broke the record for being the most detailed feedback ever since our channel started 11 months ago! Yes, there are some valid points indeed. The Mark III does use polycarbonate top and bottom plates but so are many bigger cameras these days to save weight (and costs). As a beginner camera, certain presets doesn't do any harm at all and if they 'out grow' them, they can move on to semi or full auto for more precise controls. Those are starting points. I do love the EM-5 II and still a great camera in my opinion, though these days, I use EM1 II for most of my work and the EM-5 II is now a backup/casual family walk around camera :) Thanks again and hope you subscribe as we have many more interesting Olympus stuff coming :)
My son broke my E-PL7 (he drop it & broke the metal edge of the LCD back display), I am shopping for a replacement. I guess either E-M5 Mark 2 or E-M10 Mark 3. Is the build quality of mark 3 at least as good as the E-PL7? I don't need weatherproof but I want a camera last for at 5 years or up. My old Nikon D3100 last forever. Thanks.
Thanks for your nice reply! I subscribed as soon as I saw your review, I'm happy to say. I look forward to watching your forthcoming Olympus reviews. I'm afraid I always talk (or type) too much!!
Hey Karl, thanks for watching!! Much appreciated your support! Well, I think all OM-D cameras are very well put together and I can say that EM10 III is better built than E-PL7 and a little heavier, even though it uses polycarbonate top and bottom plates. Feels solid enough to rival EM-5 and EM-1 minus the weather seal. It should last you a few years, just try not to crop it, the flip out screen or any similar system is not as solid as fixed screen, though it adds flexibility.
Aww, thanks!! No worry, I write a lot myself sometimes too :) Glad you enjoyed it and speak soon!
In ur opinion should i change my camera?? Coz i have the e-m10 the first version. Ur opinion???
Hey thanks for watching. Well, that depends on your skill level, if you have used it for a long time, you may want to upgrade to EM5 for more manual controls. However, if you are happy at your current level, and want a upgraded features, yes :)
the only complaint... the screen is not fully articulated
Omd 5 mark ii vs omd 10 mark iii ?
Hey, can I ask what external mic or audio recorder do you use? I'd like to buy the Mark OMD 10 III but I'm not sure how to resolve the lack of external mic there. Have a nice day and thank you!
Thanks Veronika. We use Rode SmartLav+ and iPhone using the Rode app in this video. All our recent videos actually use the same mic but using an external Olympus LS-P1 recorder (you do need a Rode adaptor to convert the smart phone adaptor to recorder's 3.5mm jack)
Thank you for the quick response! So using the Olympus LS-P1 recorder would work as an external mic? Sorry if I'm getting it wrong, it's all new for me.
Well, it's just a recorder and you will record a separate sound file that you will need to sync back during edit. Not a huge problem. Or you can use the LS-P1 and a lav mic for even better result, especially with strong wind or in a noisy environment.
I'm looking to buy a new camera for photography which should i go for. This one or the fuji xt20!? I'm very confused
Both are excellent camera and it depends on whether you want a smaller, more compact and excellent body stablisation for photos and videos. If they are yes, I think the EM10 III is good. Fuji is excellent with its JPG film colours that everyone loves. But once you master your skills, these colours can be achieved in post production too, no matter which camera you use.
Thanks man for the reply
&as i am a amateur.. Which lens i should go for!!
sandesh nagori Well, that depends on your budget really. A general purpose zoom or a standard prime is always something I would suggest first. Zoom is like 12-40mm or something similar and a prime like 25mm is good.(full frame equi of 24-80mm and 50mm)
hey...I am the indi film maker with little budget.i need sharp 4k camera for my jobs,is this good for me?i need sharpness a lot
Hi Mani, thanks for watching our video and support! Yes it does the job well enough and it’s 4K is pretty good entry level video. When using good lenses, you can achieve some stunning results. To me, it does the job well and ultimately it’s down to directing, editing and content. this is a tool that will get the footage. You have to try it at a store to see the video features to see if it’s sufficient for your needs.
Red35 Photography tnx for your answer,whats the video futures in this camera?like zebra focus peeking log and etc
Hi, I have an Em5 ii right now. Is it worth an exchange for em10 iii or lumix g85, or should I just wait for em5 iii? I would pretty much do 50% still 50% video, the look of the camera will somewhat little affect my choice also.
Larry Vo hi Larry! Thanks for your comment :) well if you like the EM5 II at the moment, I will wait for the mark iii because, to me, the build quality is much better than Panasonic. I also love the control dials and IBIS is also better by at least .5 stop the mark II was a big step for Olympus on video front and mark iii will be a blast. Photos? Well I always op for Olympus as it does have better colours and rendition.
Tks a lot, i actually just got my em5 ii month ago, i will probably stick with em5 ii and wait for em5 iii, which will probably release next year. You gain urself a subscriber mate.
Thanks Larry! Much appreciated your support mate! I am glad you enjoy our videos, we will have a lot more Olympus and Micro 4/3 stuff here later!
Larry Vo Thanks!! :)
Excellent review, really enjoyed it but please... please, turn the music significantly down... or kill it alltogether...
Cheers mate. We constantly monitor feedbacks :) Glad you enjoy the review though! Have an awesome day!
Brad i want to buy camera
My first camera
What is the best olympus mark iii or canon m50?
For beginner
Kelvz Alvaira first, thanks for watching :) second, my name is not Brad :) third, in terms of camera features and learning different tricks in photography and lens choices in the future, Olympus is much better since M43 platform has lots of lenses from beginner to pro! Canon mirrorless M series, only has a very limited lenses and doesn’t offer too many features either.
@@Red35Photography THANKYOOOOUUUUUU
is there a battery grip
Which camera is used to film this video ? its good
Thanks, we filmed everything with EM-1 Mark II in 4K
Cool review (but the background music is way too loud, and you should get a proper microphone wich does not pick up the background noises).
Thanks Krisztian, you are probably the first one to comment about background noise. I use a good quality Lav mic and it's more like our noisy London that trouble you more. Background music, umm, it's an acquire taste, we have some viewers told us it's too loud and some don't bother too much. But we value your comment and will continue to monitor our videos :) Have a good day.
The background music is loud and distracting, that's for sure, and i still believe that the mic picks up a lot of background noise (like at the park, from 8:11 you can hear birds chirping, kids from far away way louder than you should hear them) the combination of the two got me triggered. Also the combination of the two requires more focus from non native english speakers (like myself, with better audio i wouldn't have any issues). Will send you a mail on this.
hey cool review I suscribed some pleople say you cant make big prints with this baby is it true
What is the brand name of the camera bags you use ??? Jim
Billingham, James. They are really awesome and have many different models to suit all kinds of needs!
Dammit.. If EM10 MK III has highres shots like EM5 MK II I'd definitely buy it..
I do wanna try it at least :S
haha, Yes, it's a great little camera but a little patience will go a long way, new OMD camera should come in 2018!
Well 2 late lol
I already bought the MK III for 550 bucks on Amazon.
It is really cheap I guess. I hope to practice on EM10 till I am good enough and move to a better camera.
Great review! ^^
Its 2019. I'm only going with cameras that have IS such as this one. There is no good reason to spend so much money on the cameras that dont like the new 900 dollar a6400. These companies are just milking the consumer. All the Olympus and Panasonic cameras have so many awesome features.
Are you really standing in the middle of the road ?
carryit around YES! I did and quite dangerous actually, cars were literally next to me and people were looking out to see what Tracey and I were doing :)
@@Red35Photography 😏
Nice video but you missed a couple of points: the first this camera does not support the Olympus pro lens buttons, you cannot shoot silent in Manual mode, no flippy screen ( compared to the M5 II), no battery grip. I do have it and like it but had to buy the M5 II which is to me a better camera.
You can adjust exposure in silent mode, change focus to full manual, and adjust iso. So no
Great review and advices! Oh and the aj1 brad is perfect~
裝甲士丹利 thank you mate! 😂 the AJ1 my favourite
Same here👍🏼
If I'm planning to use 60% for video and 40% for photo. I should buy E-M10 III or Panasonic G85?
Farith Jamli hey hey! Thanks for watching!! Well, how serious are you planning on videoing? If you are leaning more towards video, GX85 may have a few more tricks in that department. EM10 shoots nice 4K but you can’t change much apart from default settings. FHD has higher frame rate though. And it an awesome still camera.
Red35 Photography Thank you for your response. So for still photo Olympus is better and for video G85 is better?
Farith Jamli To me it is, since Olympus has more funky features that allows you to take some awesome shots with easy, especially with EM10. But if you like to have more options in the video department, Panasonic is slightly (only slightly) better but in terms of quality, Panasonic video has higher contrast and Olympus, in my opinion, has better colours.
Red35 Photography Thank you for your reply. I suppose I should take G85 then because Olympus i just fell in love with the stabilization. But after trying at a store just now, with Panasonic Dual IS, the stabilization for Panasonic G85 with dual IS and E-M10 III in body stabilization, is the same.
Farith Jamli You are welcome. Mind you Dual IS only works with specific lenses only, same goes with either Olympus or Panasonic. In terms of IBIS (body stabilisation) Olympus is way better :)
Red35 2 questions: 1) what is the song in the backgroun? it is so catching! 2) where was Charlie for this vid?
I need Tracey to answer you re music and Charli? She hasnt jointed the team yet :)
Hiya, the music in this episode is from Epidemic Sound, it's called 'Fun And Games (Instrumental Version)' by Otto Wallgren :)
Thank you RED!! such a catchy tune!
How to find this bleach bypass
My wife hates fiddly tech but would like to learn photography with a simple digital camera. This one almost seems custom made for her. Thanks for the informative video. Now, I'm wondering what gear you are using to shoot your video with? That would make an interesting video in its own right.
Thanks Christopher! In fact, we shoot everything Olympus :) Mostly unless stated otherwise. Since we switched to 4K recording, we have been using OM-D E-M1 Mark II and various lenses. In most cases, the EM-10 III will shoot sharp 4K and 1080 videos just like its bigger brother minus some manual options since it's still an entry level camera but once you get used to it, it's good for future upgrade. EM-10 is very easy to use and mostly automated and JPG colours are nice and pleasing to most :)
I've been shooting Olympus for a long time - D-500L, E-330, E-30, and more recently OM-D E-M1 (original). I even own a couple OM-1s. I also shoot Canon with a 7D kit, although it's been gathering dust almost continuously since I purchased the E-M1 some time ago. I prefer the handing, interface, size, weight, and image quality from the Olympus, which rather relegates the Canon to my storage cupboard.
What I noticed in your video was the beautiful focus falloff in some of your shots. I was wondering if you were perhaps employing any of the new prime pro lenses while filming it (17mm or 25mm)? I find myself using the 12-40mm Pro or the 40-150mm Pro, most often, but the 17mm 1.2 and the 45mm 1.2 are really drawing my attention of late.
Canon m50 or this one.? for an enthusiastic beginner
Thanks for watching. Yes it's a great little camera with lots of cool features, especially in photography. Also, it looks much better than M50 :)
I am choosing from em10mk3 and pen F. Any advice? It's time I move from my epl3
Both are incredibly good, EM10 III is newer and has 4K shooting, but only 16Mp, it's good, but if you want higher res, PEN-F has 20Mp but only shoots 1080p I love both.
@@Red35Photography thanks mate.. me going for mk3. Olympus having a sale now in Singapore and it's cheaper than Pen F. So yeah.. got to give and take some. Lol.
Nice review, but I'd have preferred if you'd used the electronic zoom kit lens that comes with it for testing. Bit unfair to sing the virtues of it being an entry level camera then use a lens that costs £400 more than the body. :)
Thanks Gary!! Much appreciated your comment indeed. Well, first, Olympus didn't send me the kit lens and I don't have any in my collection (a downside of being a pro LOL). But I highlighted the point of the EM10 III can grow with your photography and it's a nice examples that any potential buyers can see that this body, even though it's an entry level camera, can mate to much more expensive and quality lenses and still take brilliant pictures and videos. This camera can last for years of service :) Have a nice day!
That's fair. I'll be upgrading to this from my older E-P3 from 2012 which I'm still very fond of. I wanted something to take away with me that was lighter than my 7D and 24-105 and It's served me well on my trips to Italy. I take a lot of street photography when it's not often the brightest and I think I'd be better served by the upgraded image stabilisation. I have the older 14-42 manual zoom and have been wondering about the comparison between that and the electronic version. Bit worried about it being too laggy when I need to compose quickly. These are my street photos taken with the E-P3 if you'd be interested in having a look. www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LeitmotifCreations
Understood. You got some pretty images! Thanks for sharing. In terms of lens, the manual zoom will always be 'faster' for composition because I had the other EZ lens before when I bought my EM-5 way back. It was smooth for videoing but if you want quick zoom action, then you can pretty much forget it. It depends on if you want to do a bit of videoing with that EZ feature :)
Can't decide between this camera or the lumix g80.
Great review btw! Cheers.
Robert-Jan Zondag Always Olympus, 5 axis stabilisation, nice jpeg's, custom everY Button.
Pana ist more popular, but in my eyes oly is much better in Photo.
Thanks for watching :) Well, I can tell you that the EM10 III feels much more solid than Lumix G80, and heavier due to the extended use of metal, and this is true to all OM-D and Pen F cameras, quality just shines above Lumix cameras, in my opinion. I also like Olympus' colours too and if you are more of a photographer than videographer, Olympus is a better choice still :)
m10 mIII or dmc-g81? in terms of picture quality and focus speed, especially due to the price difference. Thanks
Well, EM10 III is a newer camera compare to G81. AF is quicker because the G81 is more of a EM10 II rival than the EM10 III. The EM10 III also has the latest TruPic VIII processor which helps AF speeds and overall performances. Build quality is, to me at least, much better with Olympus than Panasonic, in general, apart from the top end cameras.
Thanks for your reply. I thought G81 is superior to EM10 III. & thats what I thought regarding newer camera, im sure it has few advantages against older camera, thats why I am really considering EM10 III. Well I am beginner anyway, but wouldnt mind to have more than basic camera. For now what I dont like is the handling, it is a bit too small for my hand. Is there a way to fix that? And 1 last thing, for sure I will buy the 40-150 pro (if I ended with EM10 III), even though its big, but I love to hv the option to shoot 300mm
@@ronaldyudoadityo8192 You can add a third party grip. One like this is pretty cool www.amazon.co.uk/Fotodiox-Olympus-OM-D-M10-Mark-Mirrorless/dp/B07C5W5Z69/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1542891677&sr=1-2&keywords=em10+iii+grip
Hi, brand new subsriber here. Want to know what lav mic did you use here and the recording software/hardware as well. Just watched the new series, fantastic topic.
Thanks Gabriel! Much appreciated your support mate. The lav mic I used was the Rode SmartLav+ and Olympus LS-P4 recorder. No additional software, but we used Final Cut Pro X for all edits including sound.
@@Red35Photography Thanks for the ultra fast response. Again, great pilot episode of the new series, keep it up please.
I’m wondering which lens did you use in the sample photo
Most were using 25mm 1.2 Pro
how to import the pictures and videoe to Mobile phone？
You can use the Olympus O.I. Share app from the App Store. Follow the instruction and link the camera to the phone app. After, you will see 'Import' option.
@@Red35Photography I tried it before，but the videos imported was not able to send through media sosial even email.how can I fix the problem？
Got it wrong. Em5 , Em1 then em10
I want to buy Olympus camera what should i buy between the em5 mark ii or the em10 mark iii i use camera for taking pictures more that making videos
Hi Wai, thanks for watching our video. Well, spec to spec, if your focus is photos, EM5 II is still a better camera as it has more features than EM10 III and in particular if you want to take control of absolutely everything. Though EM10 III is a much newer camera and EM5 II is due for an update sometime this year. EM5 II also has a metal body and weather sealed. Even when the EM5 Iii is out, the price will be a lot more than the current price simply because the current model has been out for a little while. Having said that, it's still a very capable camera that won't disappoint people and those colours are just lovely!
So the em5 mark ii still a good camera to buy in 2019
@@wailram4431 If you are not chasing for megapixels, yes, it's a great little camera indeed.
