5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect replacement for Canon 70D

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 2 February 2022

Colour: BlackStyle: Body w/ 14-150mm Black Lens KitVerified Purchase

I've been in the Canon camp for last 15 years and to be honest I love my 70D... I took it everywhere from streets of old Jerusalem to the hill towns in Tuscany to the Icefields in BC/AB. Canon 70D coupled with 18-135 EFS lens is great travel/street/forest camera but it's way too big and heavy. So I was looking for something small/light. I'm not interested in full frame - lens sizes/prices are insane so I was considering 3 possible replacements: Canon M50 Mark II+18-150, this Olympus OM-D E-M5 MarkIII+14-150 and Panasonic G95+14-140. In the end I got this Olympus and super happy about my decision so far...

Pros:
1. Great ergonomics - I have big hands but this little camera fits my hands surprisingly well even without the optional grip. The rotating thumb dial changes the aperture/shutter speed and the front dial changes the exposure compensation. ISO button is just in the right place under thumb... Every control is perfectly placed so I don't need to use the touch screen for setting that often.
2. Weather sealed - last weekend used the camera on the ski resort under heavy snow and -10C and it kept working and working.
3. 14-150 range is outstanding for such a small/light lens (28-300 equivalent for full frame), lens have a very good hood in the box
4. In body image stabilization of 5.5 stops is insane - I can make handheld shot with 1 sec exposures. Videos are very smooth
5. Super settings screen is actually great and is IMO even better than Canon's Q settings screen which I used all the time on the 70D.
6. Very nice pictures/colors jpeg strait from camera... (after minor adjustments - see below)
7. External flash which tilts/swivels.
8. Overall very good quality feel - all the materials, controls are super high quality.
9. Additional filters/polarizer, batteries are surprisingly cheap - just search for Amazon basics lens 58mm filters...
10. Great features for night photography.
11. Great video quality - no crop on 4K videos
12. The electronic viewfinder is sharp and actually looks bigger than expected due to 4/3 proportion

Cons/settings to change from defaults (I shoot mostly in P, A, or S modes):
1. Default setting for Sharpness is wrong: camera applies too much sharpening so looking at my kids' faces in the pictures I can see some minor faults overemphasized: like small mole becoming more noticeable than in real and at the same time smaller details lost... Fix: lower Sharpness to -2: this actually means don't apply sharpening algorithm so pictures actually get more small details and just look more natural.
2. Default color temperature is a bit colder than in Canon.
3. Auto ISO is using higher ISO than on Canon - it's calculated based on high (something like 1/100) shutter speed so it quickly goes to 3200 and higher indoors. Fix: Menu>ISO settings and lower the min shutter speed to something like 1/10 if you are shooting mostly something static... Switch to Shutter prioriry (S) or Scene-Sport mode when you shoot something fast... I would also advice lowering max Auto ISO to 1600... If you need 3200 or higher set it by pressing the ISO button...
4. At the wide end 14-20mm range under max 4-5 aperture has bigger depth of the field than on Canon 18-25mm 3.5-4.5 apertures so you'll need a prime to get a good bokeh... Fortunately 25mm Panasonic prime 1.8 lens is about $200 so if you need to shoot indoors portraits - try it...
5. When started shooting I noticed a blue pixel in all pictures - fortunately didn't have to send it back. Camera has a feature allowing to autodetect/block dead pixels so no issues after running it
6. Switching JPEG to SuperFine quality makes better resolution/less artifacts jpegs than in Canon

Overall great product so really happy to recommend it to anyone looking for the super light and compact but powerful camera...

Es una excelente cámara, la calidad de imagen es muy buena, aun siendo un formato más pequeño. Una gran cantidad de funciones como una cámara profesional. Es resistente a salpicaduras lo que es muy útil cuando llueve. Incluye un flash que si bien es algo pequeño funciona muy bien y ter permite controlar otro flash via infrarojo. Yo lo he probado con un Godox TT685 O y lo he podido disparar de forma inalámbrica. El único punto que no me agrada es que no sea de metal como mi anterior OM-D E-M10 II

Soy usuario de Olympus , estoy totalmente satisfecho, son cámaras increíbles , ya darían muchas full frame dar estas mismas prestaciones , obviando el tema de profundidad de campo, y que requieres unos lentes un poco más específicos para retrato, son de lo mejor , quise hacer un upgrade de mi OMD 5 mark 2 a una OMD 5 mark 3 , la verdad el cambio es muy positivo , exceptuando unas feas rayas que me salen en las fotos, ya revise firmwares de cámara y lentes , y las mismas tomas con los mismos lentes en una OMD 1 mark 2 , no tienen este problema, espero la devolución de Amazon..
