Review on Olympus OM D Mark Body Silver by Jim Ledbetter

On its own this is an excellent camera that delivers impressive results. Mainly because it inherits the same revolutionary technology from its 5-year-old predecessor, the EM-5 mk II, like focus bracketing and high-resolution mode. However, in the Olympus range, the 4 year old E-M1mk II is the best camera for around the same price. Ironically, in the case of the E-M5 III, Olympus chose to downsize the battery and still save 300 shots on a single charge, when they could have saved the same battery and extended a meager battery life. While this is an improvement over its predecessor, the 5 III doesn't add any new technology from Olympus. On the other hand, the E-M1mk II has the same sensor and processor but has two memory card slots, better battery life, higher frame rate and more images for the professional shooting mode. The 5 III is the redundant camera in the Olympus range that messes everything up and I wish I understood those differences before I bought it.
