The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III immediately brings the Micro Four Thirds format right back into contention in the enthusiast mirrorless camera market and proves once again that the Micro. The headline shooting rates of 18 frames per second (60 without AF) were astonishing when Olympus announced the E-M1 Mark II in 2016 and it's true they no longer appear quite so striking. The same can be said of the 4K video, which remains limited to 24p and the DCI aspect ratio if you want its highest quality. Then there's the viewfinder panel, which just seems outdated compared to the higher-contrast, higher resolution panels that are increasingly common. The E-M5 Mark III doesn't do enough to move the needle to recommend it to photographers not already invested in the system. It's a good camera, but one that doesn't offer the same level of imaging quality, video features, or autofocus acumen as competitors. The Sony a6400 and Fujifilm X-T30 cost less and perform better, though you will miss out on a stabilized sensor and, in the case of the X-T30, dust and splash protection
