So the rumored OM-5 is getting closer, also a new lens to be announced.
Thanks for the negative review. The reviewer proved it.
In the test of Jordan Drake in red jacket running towards the camera. Photos taken at 10 FPS.
His eyes are OUT of focus in some frames. Still far below Sony AF performance.
In the following Video AF test done in 2021, Olympus EM5 Mk3 was ranked 29th and EM1 Mk3 was ranked 42nd. They say, not I say.
The OM-1 was announced 15 Jan 2022, so it is not represented in the test.
But you get the idea of where Olympus stands in Autofocus performance. EM1 Mk3 does not have eye autofocus in Video mode.

I have friends who use Pentax and also own the new OM-1. They use that to take photos of lightning. I have 1 x EM1 MKIII and 2 x Pen-F and various PRO Olympus lenses to play with, though I have the full Frame Pentax K1.Announced today. 15 Feb 2022.

USD$2200 is about SGD 2960.
Limited to 20.4MP.
Due to sensor. Like a dwarf grow to a certain height and cannot grow anymore.
Probably for those already dropped into the hole and have huge sunken costs in Olympus MFT equipment.
May not thrill new users in a world of better APS-C or full frame models from other brands.
This is the canary in the tunnel for OMDS. If it fails in the market and does not sell well, then no more arguments about staying with MFT.
If Nikon Z6 II can sell at (say) SGD$2,700 what do you think a new user will choose between the two.
