This is my real-world, in-depth review of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III. Specifically, I share thoughts and real-world applications of the new camera features on my recent short film Break Free. I highly recommend watching Break Free before watching this review: youtu.be/ge4SFdErgNI
In this video, I also compare the E-M1 Mark III to the E-M1X and to the E-M1 Mark II and help you figure out which of the 3 is the better camera for you.
