I think Olympus nailed it correctly with a the Mark ii versions of the EM10, EM5 and EM1. They were also all metal bodied. Since then, they went a bit awry, except with the EM1 Mk iii.

@And_Sun_Yk 3 месяца назад

Yep, making #1 feel more 'premium' by forcing #2 and #3 to look more 'unpremium'. Not good

@keithmoorechannel 2 года назад

I am one of those who suffered from a bottom plate crack from using a Peak Design clip in the tripod mount. I specifically bought this camera for outdoor use during hiking due to the marketing as an ‘adventure’ camera. I should have watched this video before buying! I have since replaced it with an E-M1 MarkIII.

@RichartAsia 2 года назад

Yes they should've kept em5 ii body type alloy

@keithmoorechannel 2 года назад

@@RichartAsia Totally agree.

@davebellamy4867 Год назад

9:30 The smaller battery seems to align the EM1 Mk iii more with EM10 users rather than as an EM5 Mk ii upgrade. The battery is the same as in the EM10 Mk ii for instance. It makes the EM5 Mk iii more of an upgrade for an EM10. There is a lowering of the status of this EM5 Mk iii compared to the Mk ii. Then all these features have been carried over to the OM5.

Did you do the comparison outside? Is the link anywhere here?

@davebellamy4867 Год назад

Great review! Many different observations that other reviewers miss. Especially with the anodised finish bit. As a metallurgist and materials scientist I appreciate that. I really can't imagine why anyone would want a silver metallic finish on a plastic camera or lens!

@RichartAsia Год назад

Thanks for support!

@RonaldBrown59 Год назад

Great comparison, thanks for sharing.

@RichartAsia Год назад

@Paul_anderson_creative 4 года назад

Regarding the base and tripod screw mount, already some mark III users have cracked bases around the mount. Appears there is no metal frame attached to mount, support and camera. Very risky especially for tripod users and those that attach a strap to the tripod mount! Thanks.

@RichartAsia 4 года назад

That's my cause of concern too when using the pro lenses for nature photography. Also heat from shooting in 4K should be better dissipated with magnesium alloy body than composite plastic. Thanks for watching!

@WhoIsSerafin 3 года назад

Richart Asia for 45 dollars you can have a grip extension and a mount for permanent quick attaching to a tripod, and it gives you battery access.

@WhoIsSerafin 3 года назад

I have a G9 for just over a year and got this one several weeks ago. Making it from a tough plastic was a great idea and I don’t really see using my G9 anymore except for serious work. The EM5 is very intuitive for me and quite enjoyable to carry all day, even if I’m not using a prime and my 12-40 pro. Video I don’t do but if I did then it would be the G9 probably.

@steventhomas231 3 года назад

And people still believe the move to all plastic build was to save weight and not to save on cost which it obviously was.

@budop7036 4 года назад

My concern about viewfinder loose? Could you elaborate more, are you saying dont buy markiii not as good as mark ii. Thanks much

@RichartAsia 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! I'm in no way saying don't buy em5 iii just stating these are the things that bugs me coming from em5 ii. Yes the eye piece rubber is flimsy loose no idea if it's only my unit or standard for all. Build & fit finish em5 ii is way ahead. I've no doubt the image & video of em5 iii should be better than em5 ii though. If you need 4k video & pro capture then go for em5 iii else em5 ii should be a great buy now.

@p.io7 Год назад

I've just bought an used EM5 mark II and I truly believe that that's the last genuine camera of the EM5 line. Both EM5 markIII and OM5 feel more like the successors of EM10.

@MyVault 3 года назад

Does Em-5 mk2 has phase detection mode of focusing?

@RichartAsia 3 года назад

Nope only E-M5 iii

@steventhomas231 3 года назад

The move away from the metal top and bottom plate was a huge mistake. Thats one of the things that set Olympus apart was top build quality. The em10 mark 4 and em 5 mark 3 look cheap in comparison to the mark 2s.

@davebellamy4867 Год назад

The EM10 Mark ii is gorgeous. In the aesthetics and feel - and the finish is excellent on the chrome and black models. Feels better than the EM5 iii but I bought an EM5iii as an upgrade for the extra features once it was deeply discounted on the launch of the OM5. (The OM5 is also plastic!) I wanted to buy new for the warranty - but I would probably have been better off with the EM1 Mk ii secondhand. Difficult decision. I kind of like the look of the smaller camera bodies and the EM5iii takes my EM10ii batteries so I'm happy with it.

@davebellamy4867 Год назад

You are 100% correct.

@mikeorion5150 Год назад

@@davebellamy4867 I agree 100%. I love how the E-M10 Mark 2 feels in the hand more than E-M5 Mark 2.

@treehugger3615 Год назад

What do you recommend me getting? I have the budget for the markIII but its almost like the markII is better.

@RichartAsia Год назад

Mkiii it's good if you're not those that must have a metal type body

@davebellamy4867 Год назад

12:09 I'm not sure about the two value dials. The dials on the EM5 Mk iii are a little stiffer than on the EM10 Mk ii and I like that. I found that I could knick the front control on my EM10 Mk ii too easily and have accidental exposure compensation. The mode dial makes this EM5iii more like the EM10 and EM1 series.

@cman333 3 года назад

Thanks for video. I think you may need a better mic, I find it hard to hear what you're saying without turning up the volume very high. Hope you come out with more videos.

Which camera is better for someone who wears glasses?

@RichartAsia 3 года назад

All mirrorless almost same experience for glass wearers as we can't place our eyes into the cup anyway. For me I take off my glasses and adjust the evf diopter to match eyes power.

@gordon3988 2 года назад

G9!

@alex-reay 2 года назад

Granted the tripod mount seems to be a weak point but what’s wrong with a polycarbonate outer body? Think about the Dyson vacuum, it’s made of polycarbonate, a strong, durable, lightweight material that takes one hell of a beating. Sure, it feels nice to hold an all metal camera but I totally understand why they chose polycarbonate.

@RichartAsia 2 года назад

Either way that's the future most brands moving to Composite materials as metals are pricey

@handel1111 Год назад

polycarbonate still cracks, it warps on temperature change

@p.io7 Год назад

@@RichartAsia I really don't think that that's the future. I would never got myself into Olympus system if EM5 mark1 (my first Olympus camera) would have been a plastic one.

@marike1100 9 месяцев назад

I try not to buy any camera that uses plastic. Plastic is just a way to pay forward to the petro chemical industry and compared to my OM-1, OM-2N film and E-M5 II digital (which I chose over the III for the metal body) plastic doesn’t look or feel as premium.

@RimantasLiubertas 4 года назад

Batteries are the same type as still produced E-M10 series.

@RichartAsia 4 года назад

Yup they added a smaller battery for a new camera that is shooting 4k video so it burns out fast. Wished they remained the ori EM5 battery at least so I won't need to buy more batteries to carry 2 sets on outdoor shoots. Thanks for watching!

HK and others have made hand guns, shooting hi power rounds, out of plastic for a couple of decades. I am sure it is good enough for a camera that shoots photos. Get over it and move on.
