According to our mirrorless camera expert
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III is a system camera for serious beginning photographers that can film 4K video. This camera is equipped with a TruepicVIII processor, so it adjusts quickly to ambient lighting when in automatic mode. You can also use the camera to take shots in quick bursts, at a speed of 8.5fps. Thanks to the 5-axis image stabilization and continuous autofocus mode, you won't lose focus when tracking moving subjects, allowing you to take photos and record videos in sharper detail by hand. With the integrated WiFi, you can send your footage to your smartphone and tablet wirelessly. The tilting screen makes it easier to take photos from tricky angles. You can also add a creative touch to your photos with one of the 15 integrated filters.

I have been using various Nikon DX and FX SLR cameras with professional lenses for 11 years. For winter holidays I bought this device and immediately bought the number of lenses such as Olympus 25 mm 1.8, 45 mm 1.8 and zoom lens 12-50 3.5-5.6. After two weeks of shooting I was completely in love with this small but very powerful device. From the first moment of use I had noticed that modern system cameras are a big advance in technology and photographer's future lies there. After a number of tests by Olympus in the photo studio, I came to the conclusion that his camera is fine to use, not only for holidays, but also for larger assignments. His camera can easily compete with professional SLRs. Now I am looking at my Nikon D 750 and its heavy and expensive lenses (weights are between 0.9 and 1.5 kg) with a bit of a strange feeling.

Picked up this silver Mark III -with zoom lens 14-42mm- today on the advice of a real coolblue'r, because I want to make the switch from SLR to system. It really is a compact, strong vintage beauty, in which it has been improved compared to its predecessor.
Changes compared to the Mark II are very nice. Retained what was already good and improvements have been made to the image processor, AF points (from 81 to 121). Especially the grip is now more pleasant. Where the Mark II often used an extra grip, this is no longer necessary with the Mark III. Despite the larger grip, the camera has not become awkwardly large and is only 20 grams heavier. 4K filming is now also possible. There is also plenty to be found for the advanced / creative photographers among us.
The Olympus contains many professional filters that are no longer seen as gimmicks. The quality is very cool, especially of certain 'pop art' and 'bleach' filters. In addition, in addition to the filters, there are also options for HDR, 4K Timelapses, Focus bracketing, Panorama, multi-exposure, etc. Enough to get started. The new programmed wheel also works well in this, in which the ART mode can be quickly selected or the AP (professional applications) can be selected.
The new buttons are also nice. The former Fn3 button has been changed to a speed dial that can be used per program to quickly get to the most important functions. In addition, the 4 dial hands are equipped with functions with icons and the menu has become clearer on the screen. I like the Viewfinder when you want to have a good picture of the composition or when the sun shines on the screen. It works perfectly and has almost no lag. The fast fps can be used well to make action shots. This used to be a point of the first system cameras. Fortunately, they have made real progress in that regard.
I think the most unique thing is the 5-axis body image stabilization. This really works brilliantly and it looks like you have a real Stabilizer around it. This is especially nice in difficult light conditions. It is also nice that you can now use multiple lenses that do not have image stabilization to achieve a stabilized result. That makes it unique, especially compared to my SLR that is now going to be sold.
If you want a powerful, beautiful and compact travel companion, I highly recommend this one. It is also very pleasant to use at home and with the children.
