Photographyblog posted the full E-M1III review and concludes:

In summary, we applauded the previous Mark II version as a big step forwards for both Olympus and Micro Four Thirds in general, but the new Mark III is a more conservative release that isn’t really going to expand the system’s appeal beyond Olympus’ loyal user-base.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is still a very good camera, especially if you value portability and the incredible IBIS system, but we’re not sure that it offers quite enough to tempt either upgraders or new owners to invest when there are several more enticing options available at a similar price.

Yep, the E-M1III is surely a capable camera but not a major step forward compared to the E-M1II.

Sigma CEO is convinced MFT has a future!

Share

Dpreview interviewed Sigma chief Kazuto Yamaki. When asked if he “still see a healthy market for Micro Four Thirds” his answer was:

Yes, I think Micro Four Thirds is well accepted by filmmakers, and our 16mm is really popular among M43 users. People who need a compact system still love Micro Four Thirds.

And about their DC DN lenses he also said this:

Actually, demand for those lenses keeps growing. It’s really surprising. In terms of units, they’re the top seller for Sigma right now. It’s a surprise because in general the market for APS-C cameras and lenses is declining. But sales of those three DC DN lenses keep growing. Most of the sales are for Sony E-mount and Micro Four Thirds [versions], and in peak seasons sometimes we actually can’t keep up with demand.

That’s good to hear :)
