Was looking to upgrade my Nikon Coolpix P500. Important criteria was compact size for travel. Saw many articles recommending mirrorless camera's for travel. The Crutchfield mirrorless camera article sold me on this format.

Compact size Great image quality Ease of use controls Versatility with access to Micro Four Thirds lenses

Battery charging not in camera - no USB charging! Battery charger and cord very bulky

Small, lightweight and attractively retro-styled, this mirrorless model is a superbly versatile choice for beginners and beyond

Excellent image quality; Affordable yet feature-packed; Classic, retro design;

Continuous AF could be better; Fiddly menu system; Only 16-megapixels;

...and baby OM-D makes three.

Going solely on out-and-out image quality, the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III is left wanting compared to its rivals (though a boost in resolution to 20MP would have negated this a little).

Premium finish; Excellent EVF; Compact proportions; Effective IS system

16MP starting to look a little dated; Minor update to the Mark II; Focus-tracking could be better

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III is a new mid-range compact system camera. The E-M10 Mark III has a 5-axis image stabilisation system equivalent to 4 steps of shutter speed, 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, 4K video capture (30p, 25p or 24p) and the latest TruePic VIII processing unit (as used...

The just-released Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III camera is a small but significant upgrade to the E-M10 Mark II , which we reviewed two years ago. While it retains the 16-megapixel resolution of its predecessors, its TruePic VIII processor and support of fast SD cards enables 4K movie recording plus...

The OM-D E-M10 III isn't a big update in terms of specs, but Olympus has made some pretty significant attempts to make it easier to make full use of its capabilities. We liked its predecessor, and we think the updates to the interface, the addition of 4K and the improved AF Tracking all add...

Increasingly keen beginner photographers

Sports shooters or anyone demanding dependable autofocus

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III is a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lens, based on the Micro Four Thirds standard. It's designed for budding photographers who want to take a step up from their smartphone camera.

Attractive retro design; Compact body; Excellent JPEG image quality with lovely colour rendition; Superb in-body image stabilisation works with every lens; Fast; accurate autofocus with static subjects

Over-simplified in-camera raw conversion; Less reliable autofocus with moving subjects; Sensor dated compared to APS-C competitors

If you're seeking a good-looking interchangeable lens mirrorless camera that can capture great shots in reasonable lighting conditions, the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III does a great job. We took it out on a number of fishing trips, a week-long holiday, and it was a great fit in a small travel bag.

Great retro style; Autofocus improvements; Decent image quality; Lots of Micro Four thirds lenses to access and grow into your photography; 4K video capture

A modest update over the Mark II model; Still no 20MP sensor; Plastic top/bottom plates; Complex menu system is tricky to navigate; No mic/headphones ports

How do you follow-up the award-winning OM-D E-M1 and E-M5 With a more affordable offering that retains the quality construction and classic design of its predecessors, naturally.
