Its a similar story with autofocus performance, long a double-edged sword for mirrorless cameras.
I left the camera in standard C-AF mode when shooting moving subjects and never looked back.
Also improved is the new face detection algorithm, which even works in C-AF mode.
Its good enough (or bad enough?)
to work on local white-faced capuchin monkeys, who were none too shy to pose for payment in bananas.
Lots and lots of bananas.
I mean, just look at these cuties.
While the MKII could combine several 20MP photos into a single 50MP one, doing so required a tripod.
For reference, heres an adorable baby crocodile shot with the high-resolution mode.
For now, the best way to describe the Mark III is that it feels familiar.
Thats both good and bad.
The ergonomics are standout, and the image stabilization is pretty much in a class of its own.
The fact that you could charge it via USB-C is a potential life-saver.
The E-M1 Mark III is a great camera if shooting action in a compact body is your priority.
I just hope the Mark IV feels a little less familiar.
