Just superseded but is still very capable. The camera body alone used to RRP $1699 and the 12-45mm F4 lens is currently around $800 at most stores.
OM System currently has a SUMMER BONUS which gives $400 VISA card bonus for this camera + 12-45mm F2.8 Pro lens combo, or $200 for the camera body only.
E-M5 body only is $1102 delivered.
Net price for kit works out to be $1265, camera only is $902.
The kit is best value, very compact and versatile for travelling as the lens cover the most common focal range (24-90mm equivalent in 35mm FF).

Camera House is cheaper but not in stock, has to be ordered in, better deal if you have patience.
Olympus E-M5 Mark III Body $1028 delivered + $200 VISA, net $828.
Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III Silver w/12-45mm f/4 $1638 delivered plus $400 VISA, net $1238.

Another plus factor with this camera is that it includes Pro Service in their warranty which comes with express email support (1 day) and fast lane repair (5 days).

    • Buy2Much on 04/12/2022 - 23:00

      $828 net if you order from Camera Warehouse as mentioned in OP.

    Has Mark IV been announced or released officially?

    • Buy2Much on 04/12/2022 - 23:02

      No it is simply called OM-5, already released $1700-1800.

        Ahh, just googled it, man… lol for the gap in the release from Mark 3, they haven't really put a great deal in this that makes anyone want to jump and upgrade to it.

        • chartparker on 05/12/2022 - 03:19

          Yep. E-M5 iii is basically a cut down E-M1ii in a smaller body whereas OM5 is basically a cut down E-M1iii in the E-M5iii body

          • vawiyoci on 05/12/2022 - 10:54

            @chartparker: Haven't had the chance to read up on it yet but are the improvements worth the upgrade from an em5ii or not really if I already find my current one adequate enough with my lenses?

            • Buy2Much on 05/12/2022 - 11:01

              @vawiyoci: Yes the newer and higher resolution sensor alone is worth the upgrade https://cameradecision.com/compare/Olympus-OM-D-E-M5-III-vs-…

              • vawiyoci on 05/12/2022 - 16:22

                @Buy2Much: Thanks for that neat website. Also, why are the names different now? Rebranding or what?

                • chartparker on 05/12/2022 - 16:46

                  @vawiyoci: Rebranding after the splitting of the camera over to JIP and change to OM Digital Solutions. It's now technically an OM Digital Solutions (Parent company) OM System (Brand) OM-5 (Model)

              • cycleri3 on 05/12/2022 - 22:52

                @Buy2Much: there is not a huge difference between 16 and 20Mp to be honest. If you have a EM5 II no point upgrading. Wait for the higher MP 24-26Mp sensors that will trickle down from the GH6.

                • vawiyoci on 07/12/2022 - 11:56

                  @cycleri3: And isn't there a bit of a tradeoff with higher resolutions = smaller individual sensors so slightly worse low light performance, or is that no longer the case these days?

  • TheFunkySalsa on 05/12/2022 - 14:21

    I have an aging Canon M3, it's small and compact but never really been a huge fan of its photos tbh. And its native lens selection is hopelessly small (I know you can get an adaptor and use the remainder of the Canon lenses in their stable but they are so big and heavy it kind of defeats the purpose of a small camera). Would this be worth an upgrade?

    • cycleri3 on 05/12/2022 - 22:51

      M43 has really high quality lenses but its a smaller sensor. Its worth it unless you need super high ISO.

        Depends on your use cases. The Olympus IBIS is the best in business, this should give you 5.5 extra stops for low light photography. Also E-M5 III is weather-sealed to IPX1 standards which give you some confidence to take it to the beach, pool or snow fields. The M3 has no IBIS and no weather sealing.
        This may help you decide: https://cameradecision.com/compare/Olympus-OM-D-E-M5-III-vs-…
        Although I don't agree with their landscape rating. The E-M5 III with its Pixel Shift High-Res Mode (80MP on tripod) can take much better landscape than M3.

        • chartparker on 07/12/2022 - 16:58

          Just be warned that high res mode can be hit or miss with landscape especially if you combine with ND filters or do long exposure. If there's movement in the frame sometimes you want to extend the shutter time so that it smooths out the motion and eliminates pixel shift artifacts but then you potentially end up with clusters of hot pixels. YMMV.

          I got a couple of keepers with HR but a lot of them I ended up binning and just using the single shot frame. At least Olympus gives you that option

  • maogua on 07/12/2022 - 10:38

    Anyone know if becextech.com.au is an authorized reseller for the claim?

    • Buy2Much on 07/12/2022 - 16:55

      They are parallel importer so no.

  • Farrba on 07/12/2022 - 13:47

    is this camera better than canon r10?
