Before I give my review of this awesome camera, a little background on my photography journey. I learned the basics of photography on a Nikon D5300 (over 5yrs ago), then over time I upgraded to a full frame D750. After years of shooting for fun and semi-professionally, I decided to down size and I purchased a used Olympus Em10 mark I. This is when I fell in love with the M43 format as the size and portability allowed me to take my camera everywhere and with that, some of my favorite images were on my Olympus. Coupled with some good glass like the Panny 20mm 1.7, the images were amazing and SHARP.Fast forward to today, I decided to try out the new Nikon Z50 as a way to go full Nikon and possibly get rid of my Olympus. Not because of image quality, but the autofocus on the Em10 Mark I (over 7 yr old camera) was slow especially when trying to track my daughter. I used the Z50 for a little over a week and sure the images were great as was the autofocus, but I hated having to use the Z adapter to use my other glass as it added more bulk which defeated the purpose of such a small camera. To sum things up, I returned the Z50 and ultimately purchased the Olympus em5 mark iii and I could not be happier. The Em5 mark iii sensor is a big improvement from the older 16mp m43 sensor, the dynamic range is GREAT, low light has definitely improved, and 20mp is perfect for whatever I need to shoot. As for image comparisons with the Z50 vs Em5 iii, I can honestly say the the Em5 iii is neck and neck with the Z50. The kit lens on the Z50 is stellar and portrays excellent color and sharpness but nothing the Em5 iii can't do. Once you throw on some good glass, the Olympus really shows you what it can do and that updated sensor shines!Overall, I am extremely happy with this camera. The JPEG colors are vibrant and pop, the stabilization is incredible, the autofocusing is SOOOO much better, the PRO capture is awesome for bird photography, and the EVF is probably the best I've used. If you're a M43 user or someone looking into getting into the format, this is a great camera with the ability to shoot casually AND professionally especially with the amazing M43 glass out there. A++

I have been looking for a tiny form camera that takes better pictures than my cell phone (Samsung S22 Ultra). I am just the everyday amateur photographer. I have tried several high end point and shoots to no avail. I was a bit skeptical ordering the Olympus M5 but wanted to see if it really was as good as some of the reviews. In short, my answer is yes! The Olympus is definitely a keeper. The photos are day and night sharper and clearer than my phone and my wife's Iphone 14 Pro Max. The M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO Lens is phenomenal. The form factor is very small, so this will be coming with me on all of my future travels stuffed away in my cargo pants pocket. In case you are wondering, the plastic body feels very solid to me. so I have no concerns regarding toughness. The M5 is weather sealed which is an added bonus. There are so many lenses to choose from. The M5 can be operated in auto like a point and shoot, or it can be used in manual with all of the options that one would expect. I love this camera.

This is a great camera for anyone who is just starting taking photos. There is so much you can do with this camera that I do not forsee needing to upgrade as I will never be a professional photographer. The micro four thirds lens system is well supported and lenses are much cheaper compared to full size lenses. I have had this camera for 7 months and I am still learning new functions. The camera and lenses are small enough that all I need is a small bag for a lens or two and a good wrist/neck strap for keep it at the ready.It can also take video in 4k/30, but I usually just record in 1080/60 to conserve storage space on sd cards. The built in microphone is pretty good, but there is a port to attach a higher quality microphone should you need it.

I needed a quality camera for general creative use, sometimes some low-end professional use (small gigs for people who want nice photos). Also used for my website and catching family memories.Have used a Nikon Z6 and a Canon 6D and this Olympus is in the same league for its out of the body raw images. Stabilization rivals that on the Nikon Z6 - that's really saying something. Auto focus is a hair more sluggish than the Nikon although it is as sensitive as the Canon center point - which is also saying something.Advice: Get the M. Zuiko pro lenses. I went with the F4 Zuiko kit lens and it's fantastic. Tack sharp. They are also on par with the pro lenses by other manufacturers for a bit less.If you can tolerate the format, this should be a go to for any prosumer level photographer looking for their creative workhorse. Lots of bang for your buck with this camera.
