I was having a difficult time deciding whether I wanted this camera or the Sony A6000. I ended up with this one mainly because of the in body image stabilization. At the end of the day, the ability to take indoor shots without worrying about serious image distortion is a blessing.
In the subjective realm, I felt like this camera was more fun to shoot with. I don't do this professionally, instead for a hobby, so the entertainment aspect of photography is significantly more important that the actual outcome. What I also found the E-M10 to be superior in when comparing the A6000 is auto focus. The ability to quickly pick a new focus point on the E-M10 is a huge factor when trying to get a good shot of an ephemeral moment; the A6000 was incredibly clumsy when it came to the selection of a focal point.
Over all, I think this is a great camera that takes great pictures. The image stabilization was the feature that made we buy this, but the subjective reason was how intuitive the menu/auto focus selection is for me. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Here are the reasons why:
1. They changed the ports and there’s no remote shutter cable connector.
2. They took away a lot of programmability on the function buttons.
3. They took away the programmability on the direction pad.
4. One less programmable function button.
5. They took away the “Myset” preset option.
6. They also eliminated the wireless RC flash function.
As far as I can tell the only positive changes are:
1. An improved processor which makes negligible improvement in photo quality.
2. 4k video capability.
3. An additional art filer.
4. Changes in the grip and aesthetics.
Understand that I’ve been an Olympus fan and user since 1980 but I feel like they let us down this time. I have both of these cameras and absolutely LOVE my EM10 MK2, but I will be returning the MK3. I believe the things they’ve taken away outweigh the improvements. If you have remote cables and wireless shutter releases from other Olympus cameras you cannot use them with the EM10 MK3 as there is no port for them. It appears the only way to remotely trigger the camera is with the OL Share app on a smartphone, pretty lame in my opinion. I know they say this is a beginner level “step up” camera, and I don’t consider myself a beginner in photography after 37 years of taking photos, but this is way too limited and too Fisher Price on some of the menus for my liking.
In the ads they proudly tout the improvements but neglect to mentions the things that are no longer there. Even beginners might like to have a camera that can grow with them instead of one they’ll quickly grow out of. I hope this honest review will help someone with their purchasing choice. You cannot go wrong with the EM10 MK2 and it’s a great camera and learning tool beginner or not and $150 cheaper!
Both of the attached photos were taken with the Olympus 12-40mm Pro lens. The first one was taken with the EM10 MK2 and the second with the EM10 MK3. There's hardly any noticeable difference in quality.
Save money buy the Olympus EM10 MK2 instead of the EM10 MK3.

子供の撮影に最適！

EOS-MシリーズはセンサーサイズがAPS-C、かたやOM-D E-M10はマイクロフォーサーズ。レビュー等を参考にすると、それほど大きな違いはないと言う意見を信じて買ってみましたが、実際に撮影した写真を比べてみても、それほど大きな違いは判りません。しいて言えば背景のボケかたが、EOS-Mの方がやはり大きくてきれいに感じます。でもそれとは引き換えに、4～5年の技術の進化は目覚ましく、フォーカスの精度と速度が格段に進化しており、動く子供の撮影には大きな違いを感じます。またマイクロフォーサーズはAPS-Cと比較してレンズが軽く、また小さいため、特に望遠レンズでの撮影は、圧倒的に楽になりました。また望遠域での撮影は、暗いズームレンズと言う事もあり、手振れがひどく非常に難しいと感じていましたが、オリンパスのカメラは、強力な手振れ補正が効いており、手持ちでブレない写真を簡単に撮影ができます。これは昔のカメラでは考えられないことです。孫の運動会での撮影が今から非常に楽しみです。
