The E-M5 Mark3 and the supplied lens, the 14-150mm (24-300mm on full frame sensor) are weatherproof, preform great in low temperatures, has the fastest focusing system in its class In addition it has, by far, the best 5 axis image stabilization system on the market. This is the best camera on the market for the dollar.

Here are the key features of this awesome camera

20.4MP Live MOS Sensor and TruePic VIII Image Processor

DCI and UHD 4K Video Recording and OM-Log

121-Point All Cross-Type Phase-Detection AF

5-Axis Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization

Body Design and Connectivity
High-resolution 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder is available for eye-level monitoring, and it offers a 0.67x maximum magnification for clear, distortion-free viewing.
Rear 3.0" 1.04m-dot LCD monitor features a vari-angle design to support working from a variety of angles, and it is also a touchscreen for intuitive menu navigation and image playback. Additionally, a Live View Boost mode can be used to optimize the screen's brightness and prioritize the frame rate when working in dark locations.
Included BLS-50 rechargeable lithium-ion battery is used to provide approximately 310 shots per charge .
In-camera battery charging is supported via the micro-USB port.
Single SD memory card slot is UHS-II compatible for fast read/write speeds.
Wide accessory compatibility provided with the incorporation of a microphone port, a top hot shoe, micro-USB and micro-HDMI ports, and a 2.5mm port for optional remotes.
Rugged splashproof, dustproof, and freezeproof construction incorporates extensive sealing throughout the body design to accommodate working in harsh weather conditions and trying environments.
Supersonic Wave Filter and a dust-resistant coating are used to greatly reduce the likelihood of dust reaching the sensor.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth permits wireless image sharing and remote camera control from a linked smartphone or tablet when using the dedicated O.I.Share app for iOS and Android.

Shooting Modes
High Res Shot mode offers the equivalent output of a 50MP JPEG image or 80MP raw image by combining eight sequentially recorded frames into a single, larger image. In between each of the exposures, the sensor-shift stabilization mechanism moves slightly in order to acquire more information than in a single exposure and these frames are then composited into a final image with greater resolution and color detail. TruePic VIII processing aids this shooting function by compensating for any subject movement blur and this feature can also be configured to record 25MP images for file size flexibility.
Live Composite is a unique long exposure mode that allows you to gradually build up an exposure over time without overexposing key elements within the frame. This mode works to only record newly detected light sources over time, and allows you to watch as an image develops, making it ideally suited for photographing star trails or other moving light sources.
Live Bulb and Live Time settings can be used to produce creative long exposure imagery. Live Bulb lets you hold the shutter open for up to one minute and Live Time lets you press the shutter button once to open the shutter and then press again within a minute to end the exposure.
Pro Capture Mode is a unique setting that starts recording and buffering full-resolution JPEG or raw images prior to fully depressing the shutter. As soon as you press the shutter button halfway, frames will begin to be recorded, and once you fully press the shutter, the image will be saved in addition to the previous 35 frames. Additionally, you can hold the shutter button in this mode to keep shooting continuously using the silent electronic shutter function.
Interval shooting is supported for up to 999 frames with 1 second to 24-hour exposure intervals.
Anti-flicker shooting automatically detects the frequency/flicker of artificial lighting and activates the shutter at peak brightness moments to render exposures with consistent exposure and color.
In-Camera Focus Stacking will automatically record eight images of a subject while shifting the plane of focus slightly, then composite these exposures into a single frame to exhibit an extended depth of field. Alternatively, Focus Bracketing allows you to record between 3-999 frames with adjustable focus steps in a 1-10 range for manual compositing during post-production. These modes are only available when working with M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro, 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO, 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO, 30mm f/3.5 Macro, 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO, 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO, 300mm f/4 IS PRO, and 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO lenses.
Keystone Compensation allows you to correct for convergence when working in live view. Similarly, Fisheye Compensation allows you to use the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO lens as a rectilinear wide-angle lens by correcting and eliminating distortion.

To bad they didn’t have that rebate to months ago when I bought mine! Love the camera though .

Since Olympus sold off the camera division the new owners want more market share. Two ways to achieve that, and Olympus has done both.
1. Great product
2. lower prices with incentives
Most of their direction in marketing is the wildlife and birding markets. They are the ONLY crop sensor camera manufacturer with as many weatherproof cameras and lenses in their line up. Sony has the 6600 camera but no lenses that are designated crop sensor lenses that are weatherproof. Canon has no weatherproof crop sensor cameras. Nikon has no weatherproof crop sensor lenses

 

[keeleyenviro]

Are the lenses expensive for olympus and if they sold the division, will olympus cameras still be made/able to get warranty, etc in the future?

 

[Camera Land]

Olympus has lenses at good better and best price ranges, just like Canon, Nikon and Sony.
Olympus has been thriving since the announced sale. The new company has committed to the company and will be announcing even more lenses and cameras. They started positioning the line as the Wilderness, birding and high speed solution. Warranty will NOT be an issue and they have awesome rebates now and coming. If there is ANYTHING you are interested in, call me, Joel, at 516-217-1000. I am here M-F 8-6 most days and every other Saturday 10-5:30

 

[mooretitan]

Is the sale still going on
Thanks

 

[Camera Land]

Yes, it is. From what I am told, it will run through the end of November

 

[hunt&fish]

How does the Olympus compare to the Panasonic systems? I have been looking at the Panasonic G9. Thanks

Olympus glass is FAR superior. Panasonic has miniscule market share, Olympus, last month grew to #3 in the USA behind Canon and Sony for mirrorless cameras
Panasonic has a license agreement with Leica to use their name on some lenses, shame they didn't get the Leica glass instead of the name. Real Leica lenses are THOUSANDS of dollars

The Olympus focuses much faster and has the best 5 axis image stabilization of any brand.

We will be announcing a wildlife and birding online class within the week that will be no charge to log into and anyone that logs in will get a code good for 48 hours that will get you 10% off on any Olympus cameras and lenses on our site for 48 hours after the event. All the details and registration details will be posted

I am still on the fence. I have a TG6 that has been working. But for the larger prints that I want to do its just not enough camera. But its tough and I dont have to worry about breaking it. Thats my biggest concern about getting a better camera is that it wont be able to hold up the abuse. I am not hard on stuff but do hunt in the backcountry and take a fall or to. Just worried that I would end up breaking it...

 

[Camera Land]

We have no fault 3 and 5 year warranties that cover dropping and drowning, available at every camera/lens price point. They are by Mack Camera Repair and they are very easy to dealn with if you have a problem. We are always here to help if you have any questions

 

[Stalker69]

What do you mean by crop sensing lens ? And why are they better ?

 

[Camera Land]

A crop sensor is the size of the sensor. All manufacturerers, other then Olympus do not make many (or any) weatherproof lenses for their cameras that are not full frame cameras. Olympus makes a lot!!! You can make photos 2'x3' easily with these Olympus cameras and the video is fantastic

 

[Stalker69]

So if you don’t want to make prints ( or nothing nearly that large, if at all) and video is the most important, it there an advantage to this type ?

 

[Camera Land]

Yes, the sensor on this camera is about 4-6x larger then the sensor on most consumer cameras, the lenses are FAR better and the focusing and metering for light are far superior and most lenses are weatherproof. The body is weatherproof.
The only disadvantage with this and every camera that shoots video is that each clip is limited to 29 minutes. Cards can hold hours of video.
Call me with any questions

This was just in a trade magazine, Digital Photo Reporter.....

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III​

This significantly upgraded MFT model provides many key features of the Olympus pro OM-D series in an elegantly compact, high-value package. Moreover, it is a great choice for street photographers and travelers. The ILC features a 20.4MP Live MOS sensor that works with an advanced TruePic VIII image processor. The pairing delivers crisp full-res images at 10 fps using a mechanical shutter and up to a blistering 30 fps with the electronic shutter. It also provides ISO settings to 25,600.

The lightweight camera employs a compact 5-axis in-body IS unit for 5.5 EV steps of compensation (6.5 EV with sync IS). Moreover, its components were miniaturized to deliver the smallest possible body. Improvements in power saving permits use of the compact BLS-50 battery.

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III
Its dustproof, splashproof, freezeproof body has a refined grip and retooled mode dial. With 121-point all-cross phase-detection AF, users can select from six target options. Touch shutter/touch AF operation is enabled using the touch pad, even while tracking subjects.

Also notable are 30-fps bursts and C 4K 24p, Full HD 30p/60p and All-Intra video recording; information from the AF sensor is used for focusing when recording. Combining 5-axis IS with electronic IS makes it possible to record stable video without stabilization equipment.

Other features include long-exposure shooting with live composite, live bulb and live view; RAW shooting; pro capture mode; focus bracketing/stacking; 50MP tripod high-res shot; a 2.36M-dot EVF; anti-flicker shooting; and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. In black or silver

What would you recommend between the em5 iii vs em1 iii? I have a d750 with 24-70 2.8 combo currently and am looking to get smaller and lighter for backpack hunting. What is the image quality/ performance difference between the 12-45 pro, 12-40 pro and 14-150. Thanks

I'll start with the lenses. The Pro lenses are better in low light, sharper edge to edge and the best when taking portraits. Not saying the 14-150 is bad, it's not. The Pro is a little better. The main advantage of the 14-150 is the range of focal length.
The EM1 MK3 has a better processer. Batter in low light, an extra stop on the 5 axis image stabilizer, focuses faster. The E-M5 MK3 is better then almost every other crop sensor camera on the market as far as focus speed, image stabilization and shooting in low light

Call me tomorrow with any other questions at 516-217-1000
