Olympus OM D EM-5 Mark iii up against Fujifilm X-S10. Which camera should you buy? 

The release today of the OM-5 details is quite frankly a kick in the teeth for people who want the mid range OM camera, who can't afford the OM-1. A 2nd hand E-M1 mkIII gives far more value for money.

The Olympus has got a nice flat video profile, which isn't a proper log profile of course, but still manages to preserve highlight details and raises slightly the shadows, enough for me at least, so i can later add a bit of contrast and saturation for a very nice result. The profile preserves very good natural colors, without the need for in depth color grading, when you are opting for a more natural result. Great video. Thanks

Excellent review... In my opinion, the colours of the video from the olympus looks better to me.

i really like your vlogs / reviews. I always look at it with a lot of interest and pleasure. Thank you very much and please continue to make your lovely reviews. Once again. thank you very much.

Thanks very much for this review, I am considering both of these camera, so it was very useful.

Great review Bob. Thank you. Olympus did appear to be slighly over exposed on video test as far as sky goes. Very interested in the AI software. Looking for link. Thanks again. Really like your professional opinions on the equipment. Keep them coming!

Hey! Thank you for the comparison! Why again are the codecs for video better on the XS10? And besides the headphone jack, is the autofocus on both usable for video? Thanks for your reply :-) Kind regards, Simon

Thanks for the compared review, very useful! I am considering theses cammeras, and I'm finding difficult to decide. I do all kind of pictures but mainly nature, and I would like to explore and learn on macro world.

For image comparison, please compare the same scenes, neck to neck. Otherwise, with different lighting conditions and different objects, it is very hard to understand the difference.

Good morning I have an OMD EM10 IV. Do you think it's worth upgrading to an XS10 ?

Thank you for this video - very helpful.

please tell us what you used to make this video…. it’s very bright and clear…

Very nice and fair comparison.

E M5 Iii IBIS can't be that bad, something is wrong maybe the OIS in Panasonic lens is On!!!

So if you were going to choose between one or the other for a all round family and amateur photography camera, which one would you choose?

Great comparison. Thank you. I had been considering the Fuji, (as well as the Sony a6400) and was recently recommended to look at the Olympus. I have a Nikon D7500, that I use almost exclusively with an 18-200 lens, (I have a 50mm lens as well, but rarely find I am happy using it - pictures are possibly sharper - but its just harder to get the right frame. Am almost always on the Auto mode. As I take my camera on holidays, I am finding the Nikon a bit on the bulky & heavy side - but if I trade in for one of these will the quality of pictures be as good (or better). Apparently the Olympus may have weather sealing, which could be useful, but then the Fuji is better for low light. I mainly do landscapes of places visited, or family & friends photos, but could do with using the camera more for video too. I like the range of the zoom - and would probably not change lenses much Would you recommend I : 1. change over to one of these (Fuji or Olympus) 2. Wait for a newer model of the two cameras you have reviewed to come out (or something else that may be about to launch) 3. Is something else that fits the bill now that I should consider instead (small, IBIS, weather proofed, good quality etc) 4. Just keep what I have 5. Get a smaller pocket camera eg Canon G5X iii or Sony RX 100 vii 6. Give up with Cameras, and just use my iPhone 11 Pro - which actually gives pretty good results Your opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks

E-M5 Mark vs Z50

You used the term "video codex." What does this mean? What is codex?

Photography = olyjip! Filming = any other brand!

Fooj!

The video on Olympus is really crappy but it's really what you get most onf the time with this camera. I love the ergonomics, design, ideas on the olympus, but the color rendering and the exposure are really bad : over exposed, strange colors, flashy green, globally dark without god contrast, lifeless... It's really sad, because it's so lovely in the hand !
