(80% certain) New processing engine (90% certain) Lighter, more plasticky but still weather sealed body (60% certain) Same BLS-50 battery of the PEN and E-M10 camera series (60% certain) With these specs, with the newer AF from the E-M1 X / E-M1 MK II fw 3.0 with PDAF, their last color science, and a lower price from the E-M10 / E-M5 "consolidation", could be a very interesting option.

Cinegain Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 When the E-M5 II came out the press release didn't even mention the filthy word 'video', it is was all about 'film' and 'movies', I thought that meant they made the E-M1 line-up the stills focused and the E-M5 range the 'motion pictures' one. It will be interesting to see how they'll market the Mark III. But firmware has made the E-M1 Mark II a very capable contender, that gives good hopes for the E-M5 Mark III. Looking forward to that launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hopefully it has 10 bit, no reason not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I just like Oly cams. Even though they don't get you excited on the spec sheet, when you use one it just makes a difference (for me). It's not easily explainable. I just always chalk it up to this: it's why someone likes a certain car over another similar model in class. There's always some collection of intangibles that add up to a sum greater than the parts. Some machines just harmonize with ones tastes and desires. Emanuel, Cinegain, Video Hummus and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I used to use a pair of MKii's for my wedding video work about 5 years ago and a decent stills cameras also. As a full-time hybrid shooter, ie, stills and video at the same time, these could come on to my radar for next season as currently nothing quite fits the bill. Currently shooting XT3 for video and it's perfect in every way except lack of IBIS and weak battery life. Z6 doesn't shoot 4k 50/60p and currently lacks a long Z lens but the form factor is fantastic. The S1 is very close but too big and expensive when I add up all the costs. It's 4/3rd's brother the G9 is pretty much on the money but just some concerns re. stills vs current Fuji. Compromises everywhere, but the MKiii looks interesting at the very least... And like Fuzzy, I also like Olympus. After Fuji, there is just something 'right' about them. Like they make cameras for photographers.

Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 First image leaked. Mode dials changed, looks like the E-M1 MK II approach. Grip redesigned, pc sync port gone. And looks sexy. Very interested in this one. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Has a proper vintage look to it, doesn't it? As long as the rear still features the Mark II's style vari-angle touchscreen, not what X-Pro3 did there. xD Hopefully headphone port on the body itself, not through the battery grip.

frontfocus Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 tbh, the original E-M5 was one of the best looking cameras. this looks like it was influenced by the cheaper e-m10. I don't really like it. And rumor side says, there is more plastic in the build. Don't like that either. And the sensor seems to be from 2016. Guess what, don't like that either. It could still be a great camera. Olympus has one of, if not the best ibis system. It will come down to price. If it's around 900$ it could be a great deal, if it's beyond 1000$, I don't think it will really sell much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Looks like "100p" is a typo or "120p" for Europe (double of 50p). It's a E-M1 MK II miniaturized.

thebrothersthre3 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Looks good, if it has log it could be great. Pretty high data rate. Really should have 10 bit and 4k 60p though. I am about to get an S1. The GH5 is still tempting but its low light abilities aren't as good. The GH5S is nice but too pricey and no IBIS. Olympus would definitely be on my radar with 10 bit. But low light abilities are lacking as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Hummus Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I’m really hoping Olympus takes video seriously in the EM5mk3 and the, hopefully, forthcoming EM1mk3. 10bit codec with those lovely Olympus colors and an improved 4K an 1080p image (less noise and sharpening) would be a treat. Checkout Chris Eyre-Walker for what an EM1mk2 can do. He shoots almost all his stuff handheld. I mean this video below sums up what Olympus offers. Great weather sealing, stabilization, and colors in a small package. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontfocus Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Looks like no 10-bit or 4K 60p. Those specs look like the E-M1II. the 237Mbps look nice at first, but with the E-M1II it was a variable bitrate and never really went above 100Mbps. Furthermore that's just available in DCI 4K. With 3840x2160p the E-M1II had a maximum bitrate of 100Mbps. Let's hope Olympus has addressed most of those things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colepat Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Honestly, I am stoked on this. If I somehow get my hands on some extra cash I would love to pick up a used E-M1 mkii or one of these E-M5 mkiii. I shoot mostly on a GH5 and having one of these as my second cam would be killer. Good AF for the times I need it and the Gh5 for when I need 10bit / 4k60. Olympus is doing good stuff. Plus M43 is a killer mount and I love the sensor size.

Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Don't expect 10 bit or 4k60. The video specs looks almost the same of the E-M1 MK II - because it uses the same chipset. Maybe they enable it externally, but I'm not expecting it too.

Video Hummus Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 15 minutes ago, Alt Shoo said: 29 minutes. Thats a bummer. A used EM1.2 would suit video people more. This new EM5 is basically a mini EM1, which is a good thing in my opinion. Phase detect C-AF, super small, 4K 24p, 6 stops IBIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
