    Since I am still pretty much stuck at home due to the lockdown, I can't go out to shoot, so I do apologize in advance for the less than appealing image samples. I thought it would be fun to compare the high ISO performance between two cameras - the original Olympus OM-D E-M5 versus the E-M5 Mark III, and see how much improvement there is specifically when it comes to high ISO shooting. Does the newer 20MP image sensor make much of a difference?

    Loved this. The E-M5 was my first interchangeable lens camera and I will never sell or trade it. It’s intrinsically tied to my love for photography and Olympus. I own the M1 III and the M5 III now and it’s really amazing how far m43 sensors have come in 7 years

    Dynamic Range comparison would be very helpful indeed! :)

    • @thepirateshoots
      @thepirateshoots 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, loss of dynamic range is a big problem, while I can tolerate noise or "grain" in b&w. But they are intertwined as when noise becomes too high then you cannot decide on black or white or any object color. And loss of dynamic range means noise rises to a point where you cannot see any of the colors or b&w tones.
      BTW if you've got a cam, try this on your own 🐱

    @Luigiz28 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great video! I purchased the Em5 MkIII back in February to upgrade my Em10 MkI and the difference in picture quality is night and day (at least to my eyes). Noise wasn't much of an issue with my old Em10 so it's nice to see that there's that much of an improvement in noise control in higher ISOs. I love my Em5III so much, that I'm now contemplating going "all in" with micro four thirds and selling my full frame gear.👍

  • @erjennin

    What’s interesting is the color difference. I prefer the older EM5 for color

    • @jimbeam4736
      @jimbeam4736 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The older 12mp sensor even has nicer colours. The more modern a sensor gets the better it´s high iso and DR performance but the images look somewhat anemic and lifeless.

    • @waldemarlim1676
      @waldemarlim1676 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree, the original has a signature tone to it, even comparing it to the em5 mk2, em10 mk3. The original's jpeg images just looks rustic & less plasticky imo if you're lazy shooting raw. It's what's holding me back

  • @bobneedham6224
    @bobneedham6224 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great video. I have an original EM5 and have not seen other comparisons of it to a Mark lll. This is very helpful for my assessment of whether it is time to jump to a Mark lll. Any additional comparisons between the 2 cameras would be great appreciated.

    @mfreider 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Nice video Robin! Right to the point, as usual. From my experience, EM5 mk III is unbelievable camera, really, all the goodies of EM1 inside such ultra compact and super sophisticated body. Yes, I do love my EM1 but I consider EM5 mk III best all around camera. Put 12-45/4 Pro on it or any Olympus prim and it is ultimate combo. I never looked back on my FF after switching to Olympus. High iso? Take 5 axe stabilization in account and my tripod is sitting at home not hanging from my backpack :)

    • @thepirateshoots
      @thepirateshoots 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good advise to keep the originals and to buy lenses instead. In my eyes, even the original at highest iso creates something which I would describe as "pleasing" noise.

      Haha funny, I put the max ISO cap on my EM5 II to 800 because for me noise cicks already in too much at 1600 ISO :D Strange ism that my EM10 III is performing one stop better than my EM5 II despite the same seonsor... btw. @Robin Wong what about a comparison between the EM5 II and em5 III? is there a Difference between EM5 I and EM5 II in noise levels?

    • @Topscura

  • @davidtaylor3
    @davidtaylor3 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for doing this comparison Robin. It’s very interesting to see how far the new EM5 has come with regards to high ISO performance. I recently purchased the EM5 Mk III after having used a PEN EP5 since 2013 (similar era and tech to the original EM5) and while I have always been happy with the results I got with the EP5, I’ve been blown away by how good the new one is in every respect. It has reinvigorated my love of photography. In combination with the fast primes (I’ve got the 17, 25 and 45mm f1.8s), it makes for excellent low-light performance in a compact, lightweight and highly functional package!

  • @35goaltender
    @35goaltender 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would like to see the histograms and exposure info. The mark III is a brighter shot by aprox one stop which would show less noise. Olympus may be doing something within the cameras to show more of an improvement in noise reduction than truly exists. At equal exposures, It appears that there is one stop of noise improvement with the markIII. Not a problem as it has a higher pixel density and slightly newer sensor.

    • @robinwong
      @robinwong  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dude, that was about slightly less than half a stop more, not one stop. First set of comparison images at ISO1600. F1.8, E-M5 was at 1/5s, E-M5 Mark III was at 1/4s.
      If it was ONE stop as you claimed, it would have been 1/2.5 sec on E-M5 Mark III.

    • @35goaltender
      @35goaltender 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@robinwong I am not stating that anything you did caused the difference. Viewing the images on screen, the Mark III image looks much closer to +1 EV difference with the original E-M5. The cameras are doing in body processing even before output as RAW files. I am not questioning your testing procedure. I am hypothesizing on what processes are being done differently between the cameras. Perhaps the newer sensor is more efficient in gathering light.
      Based on your exposure info, these files should look almost identical in brightness. Surely, you can see that there is an OBVIOUS differences in the brightness between these photos. Something is going on before output as a RAW file.

  • @MrPhotoBlitz
    @MrPhotoBlitz 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Comparing the Mark III with the original shows that today's Olympus is as good or better than a APC camera from 2012. I went to Dpreview and was able to confirm the results I see in Robin's video. Plus now we have Topaz Denoise and Topaz Sharpen which keep getting better. It was hard to detect the superiority of some of todays APC cameras.

  • @pangderek9507
    @pangderek9507 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Robin, I did a similar indoor test comparing the EM5 with EM1 MII a few years back when I bought the EM1 MII. In my test, I was using 2 lenses separately. The first lens was the kit zoom 12-50mm f3.5 - 6.3, the second lens was the Samyang 50mm f1.2 manual focus lens. I used a tripod for all the tests. I switched off the IBIS and set a 2 second delay in the shutter to avoid shutter related issues. I used centre-point and shutter speed to meter (for the kit zoom lens, I was using 12mm f3.5 for all ISO tests starting from 200 to 25,600. For the Samyang 50mm lens, I fired all shots at f1.2 from ISO 200 to 25,600.) My photo subject was a Japanese doll which was about 1.5 meter from the camera. About 2 meter behind the doll I placed a number of household items. I used 2 LED video lights (turned to 50% power) set at both sides to light up the whole frame.
    What I found from the Samyang Fast prime lens was very similar to yours, the EM1 MII has about 2 stops in better noise performance. In addition, for the photos taken form the EM5, a much noticeable warmer tone, kind of yellowish cast was seen.
    For the kit zoom, the difference was there, but not as much as I got from using the fast prime. I would say 1 stop and a half maybe, but the yellow cast was again there in the photos taken from EM5.

  • @Jay19876
    @Jay19876 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hi Robin, great ISO comparison. I would be interested in a dynamic range comparison as well :).
    However, if you end up comparing the dynamic range could you add a couple high ISO comparisons with raw files instead of jpeg + low noise filter? Also, if you end up comparing raw file ISO's, could you adjust their respective exposure histograms to a similar level, I noticed the E-M5 exposed a little darker than the E-M5 Mark III.
    Cheers!

  • @KPGuitarStudios
    @KPGuitarStudios 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Robin, that would be fantastic to compare the dynamic range. Also perhaps comparisons with the Mark II if you can as well.
    Thanks for the live chat with Peter today, it was great!

  • @lorenschwiderski
    @lorenschwiderski 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Am I correct in assuming that the E-M5 renders images very similar to the E-M10 mark II ? The E-M5 mark III guts render well and would make a great PEN F mark II upgrade, if Olympus decides to keep a rangefinder style in the line-up. I like the color and metering on that E-M5 and wonder if adding +1/3 to E-M5 mark III helps. Maybe it is just me, but the E-M5 has a more film camera look to it -- maybe a little grain or the richness of the colors. In the Olympus line the 45mm f1.8 sure renders a fine image overall. I like that one. Will also be considering the Panasonic 30mm macro, which has had some great reviews and test scores. The f2.8 to 5.6 range is great for the street --- hopefully I can return to full streets again :( I miss the street photograhy, as well as, landscapes and architecture shooting. Take care everyone! -Loren lorenschwiderski.smugmug.com/

      @couch_potato_v1826 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Loren Schwiderski I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else thought that EM5 colors looked better. Since the image processor is different I don’t think we will be able to replicate the EM5 colors with adjustments in camera.

  • @drtod
    @drtod 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm looking for a 'downgrade' from FF to m4/3 because of the size of the lenses, but was always hesitant because of high ISO performance (6400+). Thank you for the comparison, perhaps I can use this for shooting ice hockey after all.

  •  4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks so much Robin for this test. A "real life test" and not a battle of figures and ultra crop.
    I was surprised by the results, i see a difference but only at higher iso and when zooming. The real size pictures have differences but not such as i thought.
    I have an om d e m1 and i would be very happy if you could do the same comparison. I will surely not change it now because it s way too expensive and i am still very happy with the old original one. But would be curious to see the comparison.
    Thanks again and continue the nice videos (and pictures !)

  • @robinschaeffer6252
    @robinschaeffer6252 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good advice on buying lenses instead of up grading camera body. Faster primes help lower ISO.

  • @olesheim
    @olesheim 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for this test, and yes, I’d like you to do a test of dynamic range as well. :-) I tend to keep older cameras if I still find them useful. That was the case for my E-M5 (mk1) when I bought the new E-M5 mk3. I keep it because I think it still performs well on ISO 200, so instead of changing lenses I bring the extra camera for some tele shots or macro. It’s also better to have to bodies with fixed lenses for optimum quality and brighter lenses.
    Keep up the good work mr. Wong!

    Hi Robin
    I have an OM-d 5 Mk 3 which I pair with the Olympus 10-200 a great go any where take any thing combination, at a very light weight. I found if I use at f7.2-f8 it covers most of what I want to do. Looking back to images taken with the OM-d 10 Mk 1 and comparing, the OM-d 5 Mk 3 is a great improvement. I tend to use Neat Image as a noise reduction software and it really allows me to use high ISO up to 6800 and still get very good results.
    Keep up the good posts as its nice to have a review that does not start with "For good results you need Full Frame"

    Yes please do dynamic Range comparison between MK1 & MK3, as it stands now for me the difference in ISO performance does not justify 80% price increase .. I just picked up a nice MK1 for £144 I believe the MK3 is over £1000 that is a huge price difference therefore the MK1 offers better value for money

  • @PTYC933
    @PTYC933 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had the gf3 while still using a nikon body. The iso 6400 on gf3 was how to say, horrendous, but I really love the 14mm and olympus 45mm. So I upgraded to the ep5, couldn’t be happier, with 5 axis I shot mostly in iso800.
    Now with gf7 and g85, I think m43 have improved to a point that it matched my old nikon bodies in a much smaller package, not surprising since technology goes forward, of course a modern nikon would be even better for iso, and I’m still a big fan of 5 axis.

    The difference between the mk1 and mk3 EM5s reminds me of the gap between my old EM10mk3 and my current EM5mk3 (although the differences here seem slightly more pronounced). It's nice to see how far Olympus cameras have actually come, despite how similar their basic specs seem to be between generations.

  • @MuertoInc
    @MuertoInc 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was impressed by the E-M5 and I have no problem using ISO 12800 with it. I am pleased to learn the mk3 has improved the High ISO performance. Even at ISO 25600 looks usable to me. My E-M5 ISO 12800 prints look really good with hardly any visible grain. People look for moments, not "clean" images. They are more likely to notice a blurred image than a "noisy" image.
    Thanks for the video, Robin.

    Interesting that even the 16mp sensors have improved as in poor light I tend to pick up my E-PL10 against the EM10 II in difficult light. It is hard to quantify and the E-PL10 has dropped off the radar on the comparometers. The reviewers all thought this was the same camera as the 9 but what do they know? Electronic shutter in all modes and not locked to the tobacco stained look of warm WB was a big change and made me switch. tt was the one camera where an upgrade was really worthwhile yet nobody outside of the dedicated Olympus owners even noticed. Hey-ho.

    I would have liked to have seen the Mark III at 25,600 on the right, and the Mark I at whatever ISO is closest in image quality (e.g. 3,200 or 6,400). That would have really cemented the difference for us.

  • @fearlessleader1436
    @fearlessleader1436 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I prefer the EM5 images at the lower iso settings.. They seem crisper with better contrast. This is probably due to the 16 megapixel sensor. If you have to get that low light image I guess you need the Mark iii.

    I recently bought my brand new OM-D EM-5 Mark III with the kit lens Zuiko 14-150 f4 to 5.6 II (Silver Body) and it's my first camera. I am a total beginner and keenly follow all your videos. I am enjoying my photography and thank you each and each information you share in your videos.... It is a boon to a beginner like me. I would also like to aknow bout the kit lens 14-150 review if you can. Thanks.

    Love your short and helpful videos, Robin! This video interested me especially, as I went from the original E-M5 to the Mk III. About the only thing I miss from the original is its metal body. 8-( (I'm also kind of annoyed that all my original E-M5 accessories, like the battery grip, macro light, etc., no longer work on the Mk III). And yes--I would love to see a dynamic range video comparing the two cameras!

    In the film camera days, ISO 1600 film was garbage. I'm just astounded by what digital camera sensors can output. I'm sorry you're locked in, Robin. I always enjoy your photography, especially the arthropod macro photography. I'm locked in too, but living in the taiga of northern Minnesota, I'm doing as much photography as I always do, because there is almost no one around me. I can go out and wander in the woods any time I want to.

    Hi. I was comparing indoor shots with flash, and i came to same conclusion that M5 MkIII makes brighter images compared to my M10.
    This week i was doing some photos of flowers during sunny day and some images appeared to be overexposed, similarly to my experience with flash photography. I realized that when i did RAW Editing in the M5 MkIII, the best thing to do is to lower exposure by 1-1.3 EV, to get best contrast. So i reviewed some of my photos from last month, applied it to those taken on direct sunlight or flash, and it worked like a charm. So it either means that the newer sensor is more sensitive, or that the exposure is intentionally on value +1,3EV
    I also checked DPreview page and their ISO tests... M5 MKIII does not show much more noise even when compared to more expensive and FF cameras.

      @@SlayEngine About 6-7 months ago i did a photoshoot with my M10, 12-40 f2,8 PRO lens and Fl-600 flash in a club during a Halloween party. The results were really good, i put them on a FB and some people asked me if i am a professional photographer. I truthfully answered that its just a hobby, and i can help in my spare time, however no offer for work followed. There were few more occasions, and the situation repeated few times.
      Therefore i would say even M10 is good for wedding photography, as i had great results on crowded parties, portraits and cosplay photography. Standard zoom 12-40 and flash is part of the solution.
      My upgrade to M5 MkIII was motivated by better Hybrid AF, 20Mpix, better native ISO range, and fact that people sometimes mistook my M10 for a compact camera. M5 MkIII has mostly all technology which was previously in M1 Mark II, which is undoubtely PRO camera.

      Okay thank you both. At the moment I'm trying to figure out if I can do the pro jobs completely with M43. I'm testing the E-M1 II (such an incredible crop camera!) currently at home.
      Coming from Pentax FF, left them cause of the weight (2.5kg mininum for event setup )... Seen photographers like Ellis and Wong, who create gorgeous photos.. So I think they convinced me. I just want to make sure that I can do the job (espec. weddings) and preserve my style.

    Hello there, Dynamic range comparisons will be highly appreciated. May I suggest one thing though? I have been staging and slowly progressing with Olympus mirrorless cameras from the Pen lite (EPL) to a OMD, and now within the OMD I'm still with the 10 and will have to move to the 5 (as I need the weather sealing). With the progression within the OMD range being moving from 10 to 5 and from 5 to 1, would it be possible to do the comparisons between the different generation EM5s and between the EM5 iii and a EM10? The fact that Olympus made the EM5 batteries the same as my EM10s makes this transition more natural, and this would a nice comparison to see, and or to get your opinion. Stay safe.

    Hi Robin, Thanks for another god vid. Was wondering if you can make a vid commenting on the Sony 47MP and 8K Micro Four Thirds sensor announced last year and when you think Olympus/Panasonic will implement it in their camera's. I think this is really what the m4/3 format needs and if implemented soon, will hurt ff camera purchasing justification! Thanks in advance

    • @robinwong

      I don't think there is anything to comment. Until a real, physical camera is made, and I have tested it, there is nothing useful I can say about the new sensor, if it is coming.
