AT A GLANCE

• The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is a new 20.4MP Micro Four Thirds camera with an impressive image stabilization system that compensates up to 7.5 shutter speed stops when paired with a compatible stabilized lens. There are many professional photographic features such as 50MP handheld High Res shot and Live ND. The improved autofocus works for video as well. The camera records only H.264 8-bit 4:2:0 video internally up at to DCI 4K 24fps.

  The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III uses the same 20.4MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor with a 4:3 aspect ratio like the E-M1 Mark II. It has a new image processing engine called TruePic IX to provide enough power for all the new features.

• Perhaps the most interesting new feature of the E-M1 Mark III is the stabilization. Olympus has been implementing the 5-axis sensor stabilization in their cameras for a while and now it seems they managed to take it a bit further. Olympus says the OM-D E-M1 Mark III offers the world’s best compensation performance. The in-body only IS delivers approximately up to 7.0 shutter speed steps of compensation, and 5 axis sync IS with compatible lenses offers approximately up to 7.5 stops of compensation.
