Olympus expands flagship camera range with super stable OM-D EM 1 Mark III

Olympus has risen

Olympus has update its flagship camera range with the launch of the OM-D EM 1 Mark III ($1799). At a glance, the new model is pretty unassuming. It features the same weather-sealed body as its predecessor, the Mark II, but you should know by now not to judge a book, or camera for that matter, by its cover. Inside, a new TruePic image processor combines with the same 20.4 megapixel Live MOS sensor found in the Mark II to facilitate 60fps sequential shooting, high-speed autofocus performance, and 4K video capabilities. That new processor also apparently makes the new model better at tracking faces and eyes, which is good news if you’re a people person. What’s more, the EM 1 Mark III is boasts “the world’s most effective image stabilisation,” compensating up to 7.5 steps when used with Sync-IS compatible lenses.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
