In the six years since I acquired the original E-M10 I have shot many thousands of excellent pictures. As I have accumulated eight lenses I have more coverage now than ever before. I also got more keepers out of the E-M10. On rare occasions the focus lock was off, though I would say many of those were because the focus rectangle had wandered.

This is an all around superb camera, as others have noted. But I just want to mention that for me this is the best camera on the market due to the viewfinder. I wear glasses, and this is the only camera where I can see the entire frame all the way to the corners, due to its unequaled 27mm eyepoint. The X-T3 with 23mm is ok, but still has corner blockage. My D750 with 21mm is poor in comparison.
Other pros are great battery life, silent electronic shutter option (no more ND filters needed to shoot at wide apertures in bright sun), tons of customizable buttons and controls, great handling and looks. Buy the Olympus grip, it’s worth it.
Overall this is as close to shooting my beloved old AE-1 Program as I’ve been able to get in digital.

This camera can do some amazing things. The stabilization, colors, high resolution mode, ease of operation, etc., all combine to give an enthusiast photographer a great camera body with a lot of lens choices. I own two Leicas and have had Fuji, Nikon, Canon, Sony as well. This camera is a great “bang for the buck”. Enjoyable to use, very light weight and weather sealed. The problem is in choosing the lenses. So many choices.

I had the olympus E-M5 Mark II et the upgrade is very important. I shoot birds, macro, landscape, portrait...there aren't nothing who can't do.
The AF is fast, the buffer and the continus shooting are impressive.


So don't hesitate is a very good camera, light and easy to cary. I use with Olympus 12-60 2.8, Olympus 60mm macro and the Panasonic 100-400.

Living in the Contrast-Detect, second tier for so long, I was unhappy with the auto-focus system only during video. Stills were not a problem. The upgrade to a camera with Phase-Detect seems nearly miraculous, beats DFD too, hands down. The auto-focus is fast and it is accurate! The rest of the system is nice too, astounding image stabilization first. I am very happy with the image quality too. I was used to avoiding 6400 ISO on the first gen OM-D, but here, it is very usable. If you are considering APS-C as being substantially better, you should also consider that in 95% of shooting scenarios, there is no difference, and in the 5% of situations, it will take a pixel-peepers pickiness to find anything. The Image Quality on this sensor is excellent. Nothing in APS-C land has a lens catalog so complete. I've got seven lenses in the easy-carry bag.

I bought this as my travel camera, I’m slowly working my way downwards in weight and bulk and even my A7iii plus lenses is too much for a trip. I would have liked a few more M Pixels but I honestly can’t say I’ve really noticed. I’ve been shooting a lot of HS baseball lately and the phase detect AF is very good, not as good as the Sony’s but what is. I’ve even started shooting Jpeg again as the quality straight out of the camera is almost perfect and I can continuously shoot to my hearts content and get a good percentage of keepers. It does tend to underexpose a little but that’s a one click fix in LR and the colors are fabulous, well balanced and saturated. Skin tones are very nice ...

I haven’t used the special modes yet like live time but I also have a EM 10iii and I’ve grown to love them in that camera. The controls are brilliant and I only have one minor gripe, I would like at least one more fn button. As everyone says the IBIS is superb, it’s just amazing to see how stable the image becomes at 800mm equivalent on my Panasonic 100-400.

All in all I love this little beauty. It’s the perfect travel camera, solid despite the plastic body, weather sealed and fantastic images. If you have M4/3 glass this is a steal.

I purchased an OM-D E-M5 Mark III as an upgrade from the Mark II, which I upgraded from a Mark 1, after I switched from a DSLR system. I used the Mark II for four years, really enjoyed it, and got some magnificent shots with it. The Mark III has tremendous upgrades and has resulted in a marked improvement in photographing options and experience. The Mark III has several features which I feel are essential reasons for upgrading: bluetooth connection, which I use with the OI share app, to control the camera from my phone or iPad, so that I no longer need a separate remote trigger; phase detect autofocus, great for birds and wildlife, which adds a whole dimension of photography opportunities; usb charging, which obviates the need to carry a separate charger and cord when traveling. In addition, OI share allows the bluetooth in the camera to be enabled, even when the power is off, so the camera can upload pictures to the phone or iPad even when it is in my backpack. I am thoroughly satisfied with this camera!
