Are you an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III user wondering if it's time to upgrade? In this sponsored video by MPB, we take a look at how the OM System OM-1 compares to the E-M1 Mark III. The OM-1 has the same 20.4-million-pixel resolution as the E-M1 Mark III, but its sensor is a stacked backside-illuminated chip. This means that the pixels gather more light and the readout speed is faster, improving the camera's performance.

The OM-1's TruePic X processor is 3x faster than the E-M1 Mark III's processor, resulting in better performance. The OM-1 has a significant jump in continuous shooting capability, going from 10 frames per second with continuous AF to 50 frames per second, and can shoot at up to 120 frames per second in sequential shooting or Pro Capture mode. The OM-1 also has dual UHS-II SD card slots, which is an improvement over the E-M1 Mark III.

The OM-1 has a quad-pixel autofocus system with 1053 phase-detection AF points and 1053 contrast detection points, an advantage over the E-M1 Mark III's 121 of each type of AF point. The OM-1 is also equipped with AI-driven Subject Detection modes that can detect and focus on various subjects, including cars, motorcycles, aeroplanes, helicopters, trains, birds, and animals.

The OM-1's video specifications have been upgraded compared to the E-M1 Mark III's, with the ability to record 4K 10-bit video at up to 60p and Full HD video at up to 240p. It also supports H.264 8-bit, H.265 10-bit, and Multi-Frame Rate recording of clips over 30 minutes in duration. The OM-1 can output raw video at up to 12-bit 4:4:4 to the Atomos Ninja V or Atomos Ninja V+.

The OM-1's viewfinder has a resolution of 5.76 million dots, an improvement over the E-M1 Mark III's 2.36 million dots. The magnification is also greater, and the refresh rate has been boosted to 120fps. The resolution of the 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen on the back of the camera has also been increased from 1.04-million dots on the E-M1 III to 1.62-million dots on the OM-1.

OM Digital has refreshed the OM-1's menu and Super Control Panel to make them clearer and better organized. There are also a few changes to the control layout, including the addition of an AF-ON button for back button focusing on the OM-1. The OM-1's weather-proof rating has been boosted to IP53, and it comes with a higher-capacity battery that CIPA tests indicate has a 520-image life, 100 more than the E-M1 Mark III's battery.

Overall, the OM System OM-1 makes a comprehensive upgrade on the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III, and even more so for owners of the older OM-D E-M1 and OM-D E-M1 Mark II.

Have had both cameras and now just the OM-1 and E-M1X. The OM-1 is a faster camera, but the stacked sensor isn’t BSI from what information that I read. However, the improved viewfinder, face detection and handling alone were worth the upgrade for me.

How about the really lackluster AF-S performance on the OM-1 compared to E-M1 Mk iii? FW v1.6.

Some sell, others buy... I'm the guy who buys this camera in 2024, brand new for 780 euros.
