Excellent stabilization; Starry sky autofocus; Quick performance; Handheld high-res mode; Weather-sealed
EVF could be better; Metering was a bit unpredictable; Same sensor as Mark II
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is the ultimate professional camera for general practice photographers. There are superior dedicated sports cameras, but it can certainly keep pace with them on the court – and there's more to being "pro" than shooting action.
