Pros: all you need and more

Cons: limits of the small sensor in 1% of the fotos

Opinion: I use Nikon ff, Olympus and Hasselblad cameras. The Hasselblad files are miles better then the other, and ideal if you do fotos of 1m x 1m and more, I recently did a Fotobook with pictures of my grand son , I just choose the best from last year and reviewing the book (A3) , I can not tell which one is made with what camera. At this size there is no difference. when I show the book to other people, they practically all find 2 fotos better then others, one done with Nikon ff and a Jupiter 44-1 58mm found on eBay for a few € and the other with a Hasselblad XD 80mm. For the rest, the Olympus does a fantastic job. The first difference in landscape photography is what you are ready to carry around, you can take the Olympus with a 12-40mm, put the extraordinary 8mm in your pocket left and the wonderful 75 mm in the other and you go practically for every situation without needing to find a specialist for reeducation of your back after the trip. Of course, their are limits, described in other posts here , limits in comparing the output by sensor size, but 1. you can compensate a lot of these with software and 2. do you really need that for 99% of your images? It makes me think of a lecture I once heard in business school: "when is enough enough?" . I practically do not use anymore the Nikon Z, which is certainly a very nice camera, I take the Hasselblad for critical landscape work and for the rest I enjoy my Olympus, newly with the outstanding 15-400mm.

Pros: Versatility, quality, ready for anything

Cons: Display and viewfinder, although very good, have outdated resolutions. Very good autofocus, but very far from OM1 and other competitors apsc and FF

Pros: Speed, ergonomics, lightness

Cons: menu that could possibly be improved

Opinion: Taken a short time ago I have to say that it is a fantastic camera. I'm coming from Nikon D4 and the weight difference can be felt. This Olympus is lightweight, fits beautifully in the hand and has superb speed and image quality. Fantastic stabilization system and new shutter at 400,000 shots. The menu can be improved but the quick menu is perfect. I use it with the 12-40 with which it goes very well.

Pros: compact, but ergonomic, an infinite number of possible adjustments, excellent quality of jpegs in the car, tropicalized, light, but not "plasticky" (on the contrary, it gives an excellent feeling of solidity), fantastic stabilization, dual SD slots, USB-C charging

Cons: Menus a bit cumbersome and not very intuitive, but, if you find it, there is everything you need

Opinion: Purchased two years ago with the unmissable offer "E-M1 III + 17mm f/1.2 pro for €1,600" (practically at the list price of the camera body alone you also took home one of the best PRO lenses in the Olympus/OM-System list!). The leap from the E-M1 I was remarkable: at the price of slightly larger dimensions (but which perhaps even improved the ergonomics, at least for me who have quite large hands), the two cars definitely do two different sports. I'm not saying that you can't take great photos even with the "old lady" (I made prints of 1m on the side and they are perfect even looking at them from 10cm away: so much for 16Mpx!), but I can say without fear of contradiction that in terms of quality and operating speed, the E-M1 III asphalts the old lady mercilessly. I switched to the m4/3 from FF Canon (which I still have, but honestly I don't use anymore, the portability of the Olympus system is too convenient), but I have to say that I don't regret anything. Over the years I have built a very complete kit (from the 8mm f/1.8 pro to the 300mm f/1.4 pro) and all the lenses go great with this camera body. It allows a lot of customizations, the quality of the files, at least for my uses, is excellent, the ISO tightness certainly not at the level of the top FF, but I shot safely at 3200 ISO without even having to apply PP denoise (look for photos of geckos in my galleries), the AF is very good, including face recognition. Maybe the tracking is a bit lacking (even if I've never adjusted it very well, for the genres I do, I don't use it much). All in all, a very good and professional machine, with an excellent quality/price ratio. Rated 9.5!

Pros: Autofocus, tropicalization, build quality, spatial ergonomics, pleasure of use

Cons: No one even thinks about it

Opinion: A machine that I have always heard good about, in fact I can only confirm. I went to canon, then olympus, then canon, then nikon, then olympus... Then sony, I tried Fuji and then.... I found my inner peace... Olympus EM1 MKIII. It is ductile to be scary, you make us every kind of photograph, to hold in your hand is an enjoyment, the materials, the robustness of the system, the rings ... Trust me, it's hard to explain, or don't trust it and go try it ;) Fast autofocus, sports, birdlife... dunno... whatever you want. It is not a point and shoot toy (as many think the M43 is, now many wedding, sports and nature photographers have started using this system), it is ready to turn on but you have to customize it according to your needs. The lens park is now endless, the most complete of all the brend and the image quality is crazy. I print 60x90 fine art (not all photos obviously, I don't have an art gallery). Forget the fregnacce that you read on 20mpxl are few pdc or high ISO. These are problems solved for some time in the m43. The sensor is very powerful and there are now very bright lenses if you are a fan of blur. If instead you are a fan of photography made with technique and head then there is no need to say anything, it is perhaps one of the few perfect systems in the market. Low spending, excellent quality, reduced weight and size. There are those who say that the m43 is dead, but for me it is being reborn. People have gotten tired of marketing and being told to spend money on things they don't need or useless monkeys and this lean period will change many people's minds about various systems. In short... after the rant... Mamma mia that car, I recommend it to everyone, but if you want to be more compact take the em 5mk xxx. Ps I'm not a fan m43 but it's time to speak clearly and no longer between the lines, so I hope to save someone the money I spent trying a thousand brands unnecessarily :)
