Great image quality, a vast range of features and first-class handling - there is little room for criticism. With a new price of 1,429 euros, the OM-D is considerably cheaper than at market launch. ...
- Very good image quality (up to ISO 800)
- Even high ISO values up to ISO 3,200 can still be used relatively well
- The robust manesium housing is protected against dust and splash water as well as being frost-proof
- The camera feels very good in the hand
- Very high frame rate with electric shutter (in the lab: 60 fps for 50 RAW images in series).
- Fast and accurate AF (focusing incl. shutter lag only 0.11 seconds)
The Fujifilm X-T4 wins the duel against the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III by a narrow margin thanks to better image quality. If speed and robustness are priorities, the OM-D E-M1 Mark III comes out on top: it scores with a faster autofocus, a higher continuous shooting speed and a particularly large range of weather-protected professional lenses.
- The Olympus camera combines the smallest dimensions with extreme continuous shooting performance. The autofocus is one of the absolute performance winners. Interesting special functions round off the package.
- The viewfinder resolution of 2.36 million RGB pixels is neither contemporary nor worthy of a top camera in the 1,800-euro class. The LCD resolution is also only average.
Olympus has equipped the OM-D E-M1 in its third generation with many improvements that significantly increase its performance. All in all, it can be considered a successful evolution of this series, for which, however, a noticeable price premium is also demanded. The direct predecessor model Mark II is currently offered for almost 500 euros less...
The E-M1 Mark III is an all-round successful camera with outstanding features, and we were particularly impressed by the handheld Highres mode. Despite the significantly lower price, it performs only slightly worse than the flagship E M1X. Conversely, however, the advantage over the E-M1 II or the even cheaper E-MS Mark III is not great, as they lack handheld Highres shooting in particular.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is a more than worthy successor to the E-M1 Mark II and brings sensible enhancements and savings. The ergonomics are excellent thanks to the well-shaped grip, although not perfect for large hands. Thanks to the many controls and setting options, the camera can be optimally adapted to a specific task and photographer...
