Pros: All

Cons: On video record only on one slot

Opinion: After 5 months of continuous use in weddings (I have already taken at least 60 thousand shots) I can say that I have finally found my room. Fast autofocus, especially in backlight with the flash or in the dark, something that often happened to me with Sony a7iii and Nikon z6 II of not being able to catch fire on these two occasions. I bought two, I usually mount a 17 1.2 and a 45 1.2. I found only one defect, often doing in our studio also video, the recording of the movie takes place only on one card and not on two, which is very serious for a professional machine. On photos everything ok, record on both tabs, do you know by chance if an update will come out for this?

Pros: Autofocus, OLED viewfinder, battery, higher ISO more manageable, scary burst, stabilization.

Cons: Good key position but not as good as those of the EM1X.

Opinion: I have always used Olympus in every photographic situation: still life, portraits, landscapes, normal photos. However for nature photography (wildlife) I have always preferred to use the Canon 1DX and the 500mm F4 IS USM L II. The autofocus, ISO seal and burst speeds of olympus in recent years have never been at the level of the competition. With the EM1X we have come a little closer but still not enough. With the OM-1 I was convinced to discontinue the Canon kit (which I already often left at home in favor of the EM1X with the Zuiko 300 F4). The autofocus is finally reliable, precise, hooks up immediately and well. The 50FPS burst is scary and combined with the ability to use functions like ProCapture, LiveND etc make the machine even more interesting and unique. It's what I wanted, a small, reliable machine, suitable for everything and that allows me to shoot with a light and space-saving complete kit. The compromises that are paid? The ISO and Gamma seal compared to the competition. Even at this point, however, while not making any huge leap compared to the EM1X, the files are easier to work even with a lot of noise (same noise but the fine detail and colors are eaten much less). Han slightly changed the position of some keys compared to the EM1X and perhaps out of habit I did not find myself as well as on the previous machine.

Pros: A bit of everything....

Cons: It's a fresh project, and you need to keep making constant improvements... Poor dynamic range for landscape use Viewfinder still much improved especially when the light drops

Opinion:

Pros: It does everything the EM1 mark III did but it does it incredibly better!

Cons: It tends to heat like a small oven. Every now and then it freezes and you need to remove the battery.

Opinion: And nothing OM System took an EM1 mark III, added a stacked sensor, an AF module and a viewfinder finally in step with the top ML and improved everything that was already incredible on the Oly. We are talking about functions such as HI RES shooting, even more performing and fast, pro capture and focus stacking, LIVE ND 64, live composite function also freehand, burst from UZI etc etc. Special mention to the menu , finally better organized and intuitive. The cons, once aware that no is not a full frame and the iso sensitivity is limited by physics, are in my opinion related to defects of youth that I hope will soon be corrected with subsequent updates. For me it's 10/10

Pros: AFC

Cons: Dial keys

Opinion: Hello everyone, review after 2 weeks of use. Fast and direct ... AFC exam passed nothing to do with previous versions also holds fast-moving subjects. Ergonomics the keys of the MIII seemed to me better arranged I will get used to it. ISO seal nothing that respects MIII but if you use with the software Olympus magic you have an increase. Software menu as first only different arrangement. OFV very well. Pro Capture from fear. Great job thanks OM Promoted.
