Used Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III Mirrorless Camera Body, Silver

2021-02-22T17:02:28

Reviewed a number of other mirrorless camera before choosing this one. I picked this one because I wanted to upgrade from a point and shoot camera that might ease me into a more professional camera. I also picked it because of its size and weight-I have small hands and also have some arthritis as well. Sale price was also a determinant.

I have been using an Olympus E-PL3 for many years. During that time I have basically just used the "Auto" setting. Recently I decided to actually about all the other modes and the "exposure triangle". After some time getting my head around aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc., I realized I needed to move to the next level. The OM-D line seemed pretty appealing but a bit out of my price range. When I saw that I could get a reconditioned E-M10 III at a good price, I jumped on it. So far I've been extremely pleased with this camera and the capabilities it provides. The usability of this camera compared to my E-PL3 is almost like going from a screw driver to a power-drill. And thanks to all my studying and research ahead of time most of the functionality of the E-M10 III will not be forsaken!

A step up from the E-PL7 I have been using for the past few years.It has more features and a simpler menu plus the viewfinder and built-in flash streamline operations. As I enjoy night photography using a smartphone as a remote control eliminates ANY camera shake when releasing the shutter. All this in a smaller package than a DSLR. And the ability to share batteries and lenses with the E-PL7 allows me to have a full arsenal of cameras. My only beef is the shorter battery life versus the PEN.

I bought this little camera to test it. I have heard it is good for bird photography with my 75-300 mm Olympus lens, so I wanted to see if it is true. So far so good. It is very small and easy to carry. As I perfect my photography methods, it is doing good. I am having fun! So for the purpose of my wants, I am happy with the results. It is not a beast in low light, but I will not be taking photos of birds during the darkest part of the day, so I am fine. Great little camera!!

This was the perfect camera for my wife. I bought it for her birthday and she can’t put it down. We love the way it looks and feels and the picture and video quality are both impressive.

So far I'm liking the camera very much. Wasn't expecting the extras that came with it - the camera bag and memory card - so that was definitely a nice surprise. It's exactly the perfect size to take on trips which is the main reason I bought this model specifically. Also just looks good design wise - always a plus.

Purchased this camera in January 2020 and less than six months later the camera is unresponsive and will need repaired. After looking this up it seems others have had this issue as well. Was a great little camera until that issue.

I had done quite a lot of homework once I decided to invest in a new camera, replacing my iPad and iPhone. I was mystified by the Lumix I had 10 years ago, but for the most part, the Olympus camera takes the mystery out of photography and adds pleasure. I love the online courses, and the YouTube recommendations and hints are magnificent. I purchased my camera at the perfect time, when I am sequestered and have plenty of time to explore its features. I am In absolute love with the explanations that appear on the screen to help me remember what a feature can do. At 79, I can't remember everything, and the screen hints and definitions are so much better than writing a cheat sheet on the palm of my hand.

I?m giving the O-MD M-10 mk III five stars because it?s a great value for money. As a purely amateur enthusiast, I?ve shot with Olympus PEN series cameras for years, including the E-PL1, E-PL2, and E-PL7. I resisted stepping up to the O-MD models, mainly because I just like the retro looks of the PEN cameras. But having decided to try it, I?m glad I did! The viewfinder adds a nice option, but the main difference is the added features in the Mk III. I find it a great fit for the kind of ?people photography? I like, especially when paired with the Olympus 45mm 1:1.8 lense. I also like pairing it with the G. Zuiko 50mm 1:1.4 lense I bought for my 35mm OM-1 over 40 years ago. Yes, I?ve been an Olympus loyalist for a long time!

This was my first mirrorless camera. I recently switched from using a DSLR and I am very impressed at how far the technology has come. The camera is light but feels very solid and is so easy to use. It has a classic look but with a modern twist to it and the price is excellent. I really love this camera.

So far I am loving this camera. It is extremely easy to use, though I am still getting used to all the functionality, having come from an old Panasonic GF1. The EVF combined with the touchscreen puts everything you need at your fingertips, while the assignable buttons and dials are in the perfect spots (except perhaps the function 1 button which is just a bit too far back on the camera...) I may, in the end, regret not having gone with the EM5, but so far I am really pleased with the ease of use and ability to capture fantastic images of the EM10

I had the first iteration of this camera and LOVED it. It was stolen, and I wanted 4K video when I replaced it, which is why I jumped up to the Mkiii. Some of the functionality has been removed from the earlier model, and regarding “advanced shooting” modes, they have really stripped them down to very little in terms of parameter control. But at the end of the day, it is a very well designed little piece of gear, and produces excellent photos. The video quality is actually very useable as well, considering that video is clearly an afterthought on a camera like this.

I have owned this camera for a couple of weeks now. It replaces a Canon Rebel which I've owned for ten years or so. The technological advancements made during this period of time is unbelievable. I am very pleased with the features of the E-M10 Mark III, especially the image stabilization capability. I am still learning how to operate its many functions but so far I am quite happy with my purchase.

This camera is not worth the price (low resolution, blurry view finder, the 2x crop factor will cut your light in half, no wired remote shutter available, many missing features found in its predecessor Mark II (THE MARK III IS NOT AN UPGRADE FROM THE MARK II.) . You will need an iPhone to view instruction videos and operate the camera remotely. While it is advertised showing advanced mirrorless features, the camera is "dumbed down" and not for experienced users. In response to my complaints to Olympus, I received an email stating …"The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III camera is our newest entry level camera intended for beginners moving up from iPhone photography"...). I think you can do much better with point and shoot cameras from Panasonic, Nikon and Sony. My Panasonic ZS40 is a better camera at half the price.

Wanted a decent camera that won?t break the bank. Bought it based on reviews in a couple of ?magazines?. It?s so nice to have a camera that is light and so much better than my IPhone X. Easy to learn and fun to shoot.

Fabulous camera with ability to do all functions. On learning curve but with repetitive use should be no problem. Light weight and compact makes it great travel camera.

Smaller sensor means a smaller camera and smaller lenses, but still great pictures. I really like the feel of the dials. They rotate with just the right amount of effort. I tried a Fujifilm at the store, and the exposure compensation dial needed a thumb and finger to rotate. The EM10 needs just one. All Olympus lenses are second to none in performance vs value. And it is very reasonably priced compared with competitors. Suggest these sites on Youtube to learn: Peter Forsgard, Robin Wong, Rob Trek. Very satisfied.

I got spoiled by the IBIS of my Pen F and wanted another body with 5 axis stabilization. I can take pin sharp hand held telephoto pictures 9 times out of 10. I can also take low light photos without running up the ISO and keeping the photos from being too noisy. My 2 Pen Mini 2s are great for their size and age but the 3 axis IBIS doesn't compare. The OM-D E-Mark III is actually cheaper than a nice used Pen Mini 2 with an EVF, making it a great value for a much more advanced camera. Now, If we could convince Olympus to make a Pen Mini 3 with 20 megapixels and 5 axis IBIS that still accepts an EVF, it would be ideal. I still love the small size of the Mini. I shoot a lot in the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and UTAH. It don't like to change lens in this environment, so having several small camera bodies is nice. It is nice to have 2 to 3 cameras with me the appropriate lenses ready to go.

I have had an Olympus DSLR since 2006. I have not used it regularly in a few years, but really wanted to get back into using an exchangeable lense camera. This took some adjusting to, being so many years newer, and smaller. The images are crisp and I am learning the change in button layout and loving the wifi upload, real-time aperature adjustment before I take the picture, and touch screen. I have only scratched the surface of what it will do! The smaller lenses are also great, though it would have been nice to use my older Zuiko lenses. They feel bulky on the smaller body, and do not work as I was hoping with the adapter.

I just purchased an OM-D EM-1 Mark II and an assortment of lenses for my use. I love it. I wanted my wife to enjoy the same "photographic high" I am now on. So we purchased this smaller version for her (and me) to use. High on my list is low weight, great image quality, availability of lenses, and the overall cost. This camera gives outstanding image quality using the kit pancake lens and can use the new Olympus Pro lenses that I just purchased. The image color is outstanding right out of the camera. I am amazed at the image detail that the E-10 mIII can deliver. We are so pleased with this camera. I read somewhere that ?The best camera is the one that is with you?. The OM-10 E-M10 assures that I (we) will always have a great camera with us.

I did a lot of looking for a great full featured backup camera to my OM-D E-M1 Mark II. The OM-D E-M10 Mark III is perfect for my needs. No sacrificing quality for a smaller, easier to carry camera. Especially for when I want a camera for the unexpected opportunity without the bulk of my bigger camera.

The Olympus OMD EM10 MRK III is way better than the two previous versions. Much more user friendly , they completely redid many of the screens, it was well worth it. Very pleased

I shopped around for quite a long time before choosing this camera and I am so happy of my choice! As I am still begining in the art of photographe, I needed a camera that had c'est features but was still somewhat easy to use and to understand. Let me tell you that this bad boy delivers!
