Reception

edit

The E-M5 Mark III received positive reviews upon release, lauding its small size in comparison to equivalent DSLR cameras and the professional-level E-M1 that includes many of the same features as the E-M5 Mark III. Reviewers criticized the E-M5 Mark III for its short battery life and lightweight feel due to its plastic exterior, a change from previous iterations of the OM-D series.[4] However, the plastic casing allowed the camera to achieve the lightest weight and smallest size of any Olympus 20MP camera of its time.[5]
