The compact and robust design, combined with uncompromising image quality and good image stabilization, makes the E-M1 Mark III your indispensable companion in any weather. Achieve a new level of professionalism without the burden of heavy equipment. The new TruePic IX image processor, a highly precise and fast autofocus system, along with various unique shooting functions, enable professional results anytime and anywhere when paired with the high-quality M.Zuiko lenses.
By synchronizing the image stabilizer integrated in Sync-IS lenses with the 5-axis image stabilizer of the body, the E-M1 Mark III achieves excellent image stabilization with compensation of up to 7.5 EV steps (5-axis Sync-IS). This allows for shooting in low-light conditions or super telephoto shots without the need for a tripod. Without Sync-IS, the built-in image stabilizer compensates for up to 7.0 EV steps, regardless of the Micro Four Thirds lens used. The robust magnesium alloy body of the OM-D E-M1 Mark III is dust and splash resistant, as well as frost-proof, making it perfect for use in particularly harsh environments.
The new TruePic IX image processor, in conjunction with the 20.4-megapixel Live MOS sensor, the wide range of powerful M.Zuiko lenses, and the 5-axis image stabilization, ensures maximum image quality all the way to the edges. Users who require higher resolution can utilize the 50 MP handheld high-res shot function for approximately 50-megapixel images without using a tripod. With the tripod high-res shot function, ultra-high-resolution RAW and JPEG images can be captured, equivalent to an 80-megapixel image.

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. ...
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 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.
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 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...
