I know I'm 6 years late here (I am interested in buying this camera second hand) and I have to say, what a great all-around, to the point, informative video, no extra sauce, no unnecessary cuts with lame jokes, great effort on making sure that even the novice can understand the product, sir, your work is delight to my mind, eyes and ears. Thank you.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. In the end, the choice of a camera depends on your style and the photographs you plan to take. I'm certainly not capable of making a recommendation for anyone except myself - so I try to point out all the of issues I find valuable in making a decision. For some people it's features, for others it's usability and that's where I had issues with the E-M10-3 - great features, terrible usability. Sunkist.

I picked this camera up in October. I agree that the movie settings were hard to find at first but there is a lot of options once you dig in. The video quality was surprisingly good, the stabilization is amazing. Thanks for this video, it answered a lot of questions of some of the features. It's also nice to see Toronto in these scenes. I'd recommend the camera but wished the software allowed more customization in the different modes. This may have been a choice to help intuitiveness but would limit users as they grew with the system.

@grumpywiseguy5992 5 лет назад

I just received a new one today. It took about a half an hour to set it up the way I like it for stills, which is why I bought it. I also got the 12-40 f2.8 lens, which is as heavy as the body is!! I have been shooting for a long time, but do not have the patience for complexity and deep menus. It seems to work well, fits my right hand better than any other small mirrorless camera does, my fingers naturally rest on the shutter button and dials without moving my grip. I prefer the tilt screen vs a flip out screen, the EVF is good enough and the build quality is better than I expected. All for not much money compared to almost anything else. I just sold all of my Panasonic gear except the G85, which I intend on using for video mostly. Now to get a 17mm prime, a 30mm macro, and a telephoto. Thanks for your review, a most excellent and complete one.

Excellent review! As a beginner who will be purchasing his first mirrorless camera, would you recommend the GX85 or E-M10 Mark III? I am looking for a travel camera and will be using it for both photos and videos. Small form factor is important and would probably bring along a maximum of 1 lens.

Both are tempting, but the Olympus has considerably better stabilization if your'e shooting video.

The IBIS is incredible, and did I mention it is TINY?? This paired with the 17mm 1.8 are my “goto” for street and travel photography. I do agree the menu can be frustrating. They did separate some menu items that should be placed together. Your great review helped me learn how to navigate the menus much better! Thank you!

Thanks for your great reviews! I’m in doubt between canon m50 and the Olympus m10, using the camera for nature shots and sports photography (dressage horses). Or should I wait for the m10 mark4? Used my late fathers fijifilm coolpix 6000 till now, but this is broken now. Thank you

@MaartenHeilbron 4 года назад

It's a difficult choice. The selection of m-mount lenses is very limited compared to M43, but if you have older EOS lenses and an adapter, you might be all set. The larger sensor on the Canon might make a slightly higher quality image. If you have experience with either brand, you might prefer its menu system. In the end, the differences are small, you can choose with your wallet, your hand (which fits better) your sense of design and brand preference. Did you look at the Fujifilm X-T30 (or X- T20)? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AW2sDwqnUyo.html

I didn't compare the two side by side. Either a camera can manually set the aperture, shutter duration and ISO - the three exposure variables - or it cannot. There are no more options for manual exposure. Ask as many questions as you need.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Although there's lots to like with the M10 M3, I'd probably go with the A6300 - unless you're planning on shooting a lot of video. The M3's amazing stabilization and the Sony's overheating would swing me back to the M3, ins spite of its issues.

@karanbansal8083 5 лет назад

Hey Maarten, thank you for the detailed review. I am a novice photographer looking to buy first camera outside point and shoot cameras. I have never owned a DSLR before. In your opinion, which camera would be a better choice for me - Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III or Canon EOS M50 or would you recommend something else? I was considering going for Nikon D5600, but thinking maybe mirror-less is the way to go forward. Any input would be helpful. Thank you!

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

All three are good choices, depending on your specific needs. If you are shooting mainly stills, the Nikon may be the more flexible choice with the best selection of lenses. For video I’d prefer the Olympus with its superior stabilization. Mirrorless has lots of advantages, particularly for video, but may not be for everyone. Until Canon increases the m-mount lens selection, it’s hard to recommend the M50, which is otherwise a solid and light choice.

Hello and thank you for your super detailed reviews! I hesitate between this Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III and the Olympus E-PL9 to film my travels in 4k. My preference would rather go to the E-PL9 for its better compactness. The quality of the 4k videos and the battery life of the two devices are equivalent it seems to me (despite the only 3 axis-stabilization of the PL9). What do you think, what is the best choice?

Thank you for the in-depth and no-BS review. This camera is at the top of my - still not concrete - list. I bought a Canon 350d in 2006 and an Olympus Pen ep3 in 2013 because the Canon didn’t have video. I want to improve my technical skills without spending any more than this costs in 2020 and without adding weight of DSLR cameras. I don’t care for vlogging, but I do wish I could print larger than a 16mp can produce. Would you still suggest this as an ideal camera for me? The IBIS is a huge plus.

Great review and great info in the comments section. I plan to use for shooting music videos and covers. Studio audio overlayed with performance and b roll. Question: is the autofocus or focus settings reliable enough for this? Sometimes I will use a tripod and film in selfie mode..sometimes will have someone to film. I’ve posted a few already on my channel. Thanks!

Thank you for the quality review, though I can not decide if this is the right camera. I like the stabilization, an hope for quality low light and indoor photography. All automatic or manual option seem good enough, maybe with too many options to learn to learning curve may be too long. I would also like to be able to take decent action photos indoors, this is the one test I did not find, in your review, maybe I missed it. Would you recommend any other cameras that meets my requirements? I would like it to be a smaller camera like this, so it's good for travel.

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

In general, it's difficult to find a camera that can deliver action photos in a low light indoor setting. The best solution is usually a fast lens. Some of Sony's full frame models would deliver better low light performance, they are slightly larger.

I suggest they use their phones. There is no camera in the U$200 range that's better than the phone I'm sure most kids already have. Instead, if you do have a budget, buy a few good cameras with a good sized sensor, interchangeable lenses and full manual controls for students who have a deeper interest and show promising creativity. While this is an interesting choice, have a look at the Panasonic GX850.

Down in my opinion. Maybe you just want a better lens?

@ivank8422 3 года назад

@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you for sharing your opinion - it is very important to me! I need to upgrade my 'old' camera anyway, the black paint from the metal frame that holds the mirror is getting off the surface and constantly gets on the mirror and the matrix which is annoying. I guess it has something to do with the lack of weather-sealing of that body. I realise that Olympus EM10 III is not weather sealed either. My Olympus choice was mainly driven by the size and relatively low cost lenses. I can get it with three lenses (pancake 14-45mm, 45-150mm and 45mm f1.8) for £550. Do you think Sony A6400 or A6100 would be a better choice. It is twice as expensive (at least here in the UK) as the Olympus model reviewed here, but its autofocusing system is so tempting.

@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад

@@ivank8422 It doesn't sound like that kind of wear and tear is weather related - unless you know you've been shooting a lot under very adverse conditions in a careless way. There are many more e-mount lenses (not just from Sony by the way) than M 4/3. The A6100 is a better choice.

But I have taken it to some hot and humid (e.g. Canary Islands, South of Spain) and relatively cold places in Germany with temperatures down to minus 10 degC. With regards to Sony, I know my question might be strange but does the exceptional eye- and face-tracking ability by Sony cameras directly correlate to the picture sharpness? Is it really a game changer in photography or another marketing tool?

@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад

@@ivank8422 It is more than marketing. Paired with a G-Master lens that has the focus button, it's a game changer. Even with just he shutter or back button focus, it's a major improvement. I think that any camera should be able to handle those situations.

I'm currently debating between this camera and the Panasonic GX85 as my first mirrorless. Do you have any thoughts on the relative strengths of the two? I see in this video you're not such a fan of the Oly, and you seem pretty enthusiastic in your GX85 review, but I'm wondering why you might pick the GX85 over the Oly in a direct comparison, if that would even be your choice. I've been using point and shoots for years, mostly for travel and hiking and always valued pocketability... thus, small and light w/EVF are key for me. Personally, they seem to be almost identical in features. I love the look of the Oly and it's live comp modes seem fun but I'm afraid of the paired down other features. No custom "myset" modes, button customization limited to the point of being nonexistent, very confused by inability to access drive mode in HDR, BRK, or exposure over 60"...can't use 2 sec self timer to eliminate shake from pushing shutter. I'd almost want to get the mark ii instead but the improved grip really does make a difference, and I feel the add-on grip of the mark ii adds too much bottom bulk. Also there's 4K..while video isn't important to me other than the intriguing idea of using 4K video to pull 8mp stills...still not sure if GX85's implementation is gimmick or value added and could I just do the same with 4K vids from the Oly. I love how customizable the GX85 is.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

What are your primary photo/video needs? Although both are good cameras, in the end too many little things about the EM10-3 just got to me. My current favourite is the X-T2 (with the battery grip) but my primary use is video.

@LawrenceValverde 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I shoot photos almost exclusively. And I value something light and compact that won't bog me down on a hike or trek. I like shooting landscapes and moving water as well as architecture, graffiti, and some street photography when traveling (which I do often). As a physicist and astronomer by training, I am interested in playing with astrophotography and long exposure now that I'm buying a more capable camera. The compactness is what's drawn me toward m43. That, combined with the price of Fuji lenses has ruled Fuji out despite the IQ. With regards purely photographic considerations, are there any particular quibbles or gems you think I should look at more closely in either the GX85 or the em10 iii?

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

All of these cameras should be suitable, and any camera that has a bulb mode will be able to take long exposure night sky shots (not my area of expertise). However, the E-M10-3's live time and live composite features make it easier to see what you're getting as you take the photo.
