Which is pretty cool, but my understanding is that it's only for stills and doesn't work with video...which is what I was thinking about. Having physical ND glass inside the body is great, but putting it in a small EM5 body would be a real challenge; would be really wonderful if they could though. Then again, these are photo cameras first and foremost. No real desire to make the camera bigger to accommodate somehhhing like that.

Video Hummus Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I bet they could do if they removed the physical shutter mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a real cool function, but seems to use computational photography with different composite exposures. Real neat innovation though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdouthit Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Though the video specs aren't thrilling, they're plenty good enough for YouTube or HD broadcast use. I've used Sony A7 cameras for years and nobody cared when I used those or my FS7. I'm liking this new Olympus and might pick it up... or the E-M1X to use for some of our mountain shoots. You can't imagine how wet it can get out there. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat33 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Shot on EM1x, looks very very nice. They used 17mm 1.2 and 25mm 1.2 with segments on the 12-100f4 and 300mm f4 according to the comments. Love the handheld tracking shot using a wheelbarrow at the end. hoodlum, Adept and Thomas Hill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Hill Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Are there any real differences between the video capabilities of the 1miii and the 5miii? Looking at the spec sheets at B&H and the Olympus site, they look pretty much the same, including 422 8bit external. I know there has been talk in the thread about the 1miii possibly outputting 10bit but I couldn't find it on a spec sheet. Has this been confirmed?

I think it’s pretty similar codecs but EM5iii has no 120p, lesser IBIS, no OM-D log profile, noisier pre-amps, maybe slower AF, no time code. There is also better weather sealing etc on the EM1iii.

Video Hummus Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Unless you need the slightly smaller foot print or the smaller price I would spend extra for the EM1.3. It’s already quite small and with the new TruePix processor will mostly likely be the one to get new features via firmware if there is an update.

The 5 does have a "high speed movie" 120 in 1920, though. Is that different from the regular 120 of the 1?

But the price is also a bit irritating, 1799 is more than the X-T3/4 and in the range of a few full frame options. Of course, the small footprint is out the window with those. I recently sent back the Sigma FP. Using the little 45mm and a couple M lenses, I loved the photo IQ and the footprint but it lacked in just about every other area.

Cinegain Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 9 hours ago, Thomas Hill said: Nice. What lens is that? Eye sight getting away from ya? 😛 12mm f/2.0 it reads on the lens (used to be the one that came in silver... and the black version was the premium 'limited edition' at a high price, later they actually just made it standard and is more of a regular price now). Actually, I do like the fact that you get a nice solid camera body, with front-facing screen, solid C-AF, best IBIS in the biz and just very fuzzless. Just, maybe not to jump at it at market launch price, whilst having the GH5 and G9 around that are still very capable and have some edging features.

The 12mm has been a great lens. Originally purchased for the X5 on our Osmo Pro for car-to-car shots. Too bad they charge an absurd amount of money for the lens hood. It should really have come with it. First footage from a shoot yesterday. A couple similar shots to compare Sony A7III to EM1 Mk III.

No. They're basically identical. The "deep learning" AF system exclusive to the EM1X doesn't work for video at all, which is disappointing. But single point continuous AF works a charm.

Dave Maze Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Bringing life back to this thread. I use my mkiii daily. It’s my primary camera. Love it for hybrid shooting with those f1.2 primes. Still haven’t tried the new prores raw feature. Really incredible they added that. im just a bit scared for the future of the company. I really hope to see a new camera with updated specs like better EVF and newer sensor this year. We’ll see if the new owners handle it well.
