E-M5 III vs E-M10 IV vs E-M5 II - Olympus OM-D Camera Comparison

[@steventhomas231]

Very comprehensive review that 👍

[@RadCameraMan]

Thanks for the positive feedback👍 Are you planning to buy any of these cameras?

[@steventhomas231]

@@RadCameraMan possibly. Im on the em 10 mark 2 at the minute and pretty happy with it though. I might look at the em5 at some point for the pdaf and better IS.

Nice. To me the main difference is the Sensor of EM 5 Mk 3. It has a phase detect (same sensor found in EM1 mk 2and 3). Except that other differences are negligible... Now OM-5 is out as a baby EM1Mk 3. This is the right time to grab a used EM5 mk 3 with a reduced price..

[@RadCameraMan]

Agreed, but OM-5 has one really good feature which is that they removed the 30 minute limit for video recording. It is really annoying that they didn't provide a firmware update with this change for E-M5 III.

I like the plastic body. It just feels right in my hands. I’m small. 💁🏻‍♀️ And with the shutter dampening is nice and quiet. E-M5iii so Smooth.

E-M5 III is a good camera, I use it as well.

@@RadCameraMan Currently have the old E-PL7 and Pana GX85. Love E-PL7 for daily use. Don't really like the GX85. Plan to sell it and get E-M10IV for more serious events. But after watching your video I think E-M5II is more worth it. I don't really care about 4K. Thanks again. Subscribed.

Great review, very well done. Thank you for the excellent effort.

[@RadCameraMan]

Thanks, here is a more in-depth video about the E-M5 III camera (in case it is useful) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqawnZSmesZ8d8k

Very thoroughly reviewed 👍🏼

[@RadCameraMan]

thanks, which of these cameras do you have?

[@hellsing0999999999]

You can easily solve the flip screen issue by putting an L bracket on the EM10 MK IV, I've seen some grips sold for around 20 bucks that have the mounting screw to the right, with a small hole for battery/SD memory change.

Thanks for the tip 👍 which of these cameras do you have?

What is the tripod adapter you have under the cameras? 😎 The Panasonic DMW-TA1 is discontinued. It allows fatter lenses to be used on the tripod.

[@RadCameraMan]

Ulanzi Claw Quick Release (Generation II) amzn.to/3S7tGuv It's worth mentioning that these release plates are different to the one that you mentioned in that they are square and the 1/4" 20 screw is in the middle which means the release plate protrudes in front of the camera whereas with the Panasonic DMW-TA1 or if the screw was located differently this problem wouldn't be present. See this image for more clarity about my comment: yt3.ggpht.com/7hutIy4vU3moGWTScRN7SUqmlK0aPHBzXO2AbOJ4DjgH82aJZr2Mu0oRnyvRF3BxcsLCcJvzEBTfbw=s640-c-fcrop64=1,000018f5ffffe70a-nd-v1

Great content! I am so confused between getting a used em5 M3 and a new em2 M4 and I just move between these two models unable to make a clear decision. I currently have em2 M2 and I shoot mainly stills with occasional video. My focus is to have a better image quality than em2 M2 and shoot jpeg as much as possible with limited time spent on post. May I ask you what you would do and your buying decision if given an choice. Many thanks!

[@RadCameraMan]

If you are trying to decide between the EM5 M3 and EM10 M4, I would definitely recommend the EM5 M3 without any doubt because: 1. It has better image stabilization which means lower shutter speeds can be used which ultimately results in the camera receiving more light and having more dynamic range and hence a better picture quality. 2. It has high resolution mode which means it is possible to take very high resolution pictures for product photography. 3. Its sensor has marginally more resolution. The difference is insignificant but still any small improvement is good. 4. It has phase detect auto-focus which helps with faster focus acquisition. 5. It has cross type auto-focus points which helps with more accurate focus acqusition. 6. It has more auto focus modes e.g. Preset AF. 7. It has more focus target areas which provide more flexibility when focusing. 8. It has punch in zoom focus for more accurate focusing. 9. It has a higher sequential shooting drive speed. 10. It has a pre-capture functionality. 11. It has a separate compartment for battery and memory card. 12. It has a lock button on the mode dial. 13. It has more buttons for customization such as a button in front of the camera, a function lever, an ISO button, a shooting drive button, etc. I haven't even covered the video feature since you mentioned that you will be mainly using it for photography but the E-M5 III is so much better than the E-M10 IV that it is not even a comparison. The only reason I made this video was to point out that there are some minor advantages to the lower end E-M10 M4 and E-M5 M2 in comparison to the E-M5 M3 even though the E-M5 M3 is substantially better. So my recommendation is to buy the E-M5 III without any hesitation in comparison to the other two cameras. Also, keep in mind that the E-M5 III has the same sensor as the flagship E-M1 III and E-M1X cameras. This sensor is better than the new OM-1 as well. Anyway, please let me know if I can provide further information about any features or clarify any details.

@@RadCameraMan Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! I will check out some of the E-M5 M3 that are on sale sometime this weekend. Your videos are a huge resource for understand key aspects of Olympus gear. Thanks a ton once again!

[@Yoko.Kurama]

There’s no 1080p slow motion for the EM 10?

[@RadCameraMan]

No, the maximum resolution for slowmotion is 720p. If you want slowmotion in 1080p you need a different camera such as the EM5 III. Are you planning to buy the EM10?

[@ulihanel7078]

are you actually taking pictures with a camera or do you just play with the buttons?
