Thank you to Olympus Singapore for loaning the Olympus E-M5 Mark III to ClubSNAP for a review.

If there are 3 words to summarize the new Olympus E-M5iii, it would be:
Fast, Light & Rugged.

4.5years is a long time for an update since E-M5II, and certainly with tech advancements these days, there's alot of expectations.

This review will cover (from my perspective) the design aspects, AF low light and tracking capabilities, long exposure photography, high resolution (it's now 50MP), lotsa 5 axis handeheld shots, some handheld vlogging, and some videos featuring me (no pretty babes/hunks, sorry haha).

Here are the official features in a quick summary from Olympus Imaging Singapore

1. Outstanding portability with high image quality
2. Advanced DUAL FAST AF with 121-point all cross-type On-chip Phase Detection AF
3. 5-axis image stabilization in a dustproof splash-proof body
4. Pro Capture mode for lag-free shooting
5. Tripod High-Res Shot to 50M
6. Digital cinema standard 4K movies...

To start from the beginning, the Leica Q was announced 3 years ago on the 10 of June 2015, (my birthday!), however with the M Typ 240 and M10 it was almost 3 years before I acquired a Leica Q and my in-depth review of the Leica Q and Q-P is here.

Like the Leica M series or the Fujifilm X100 series, the Ricoh GR series of cameras has always engaged a most loyal cult following, drawn to a camera powered by a APSC sensor in a truly pocketable size made more attractive by some of the most beautiful black and white renderings.



Now 4 years after the release of the GR II, which was essentially the 1st generation GR camera with an extra wifi chip (the browser based interface was poorly implemented too) , Ricoh has finally released a true upgrade for the street shooters in the the GR III and I shall share the 5 most compelling reasons for this (advertised by Ricoh) new King of...

This is not an in-depth spec based discussion of the Nikon Df, one of the most controversial digital SLR camera that was announced in November 2013, 6 years from today and more of a personal take towards this hidden gem of a camera that probably encountered way more unfair discussion focusing on its design and specs over its performance and imaging quality.



A quick history

Most of the controversy was due to Nikon’s pre-launch teasing of the camera being a representation of ‘pure photography’ (which later simply meant no video functions) and the defining of the letters “Df”, as the “Digital Fusion” of retro style and modern technology.

In a world where every DSLR looked just like the next DSLR , it was little wonder that purist film shooters and...

Photographers are visual creatures by profession and by heart, and of course while we will read text to improve our knowledge of the subject,

This time, after my review of the Fujifilm X-T3 flagship model and X-T30 which shares the same imaging sensor and processor, I have a few readers inquiring about the X-T3’s capabilities in real world performance during fast paced events – where every single shot counts....

360° for quality.
The flagship model, achieving the highest image quality of the THETA series.

Striving for ease-of-use with amazing high performance.

24 Jan 2019, a milestone in Olympus imaging history, with the launch of the EM1X. A camera that's pitched for the Professional sports and wildlife photographer. This new flagship is not meant to replace the EM1.2, rather it runs parallel to it, and a class above it in fact. EM1X is akin to it's competition Canon 1DX Mark II, Nikon D5, Sony A9 category. It would be safe to say this is the most technologically advanced Olympus camera to date that's built to last and perform in the harshest environment.





The review will cover several areas from my personal point of view as mostly a landscaper photographer as well as general street photography.
- Live ND and applications
- 5 axis stabilization with 12-100mm F4 lens and in general
- High resolution mode both Handheld and Tripod
- Ergonomics and new menu features and hardware
- AF tracking

I will also attempt to (with limited...
