OM Digital has released two new cameras in Japan. Technically, they’ve released two new versions of two old cameras. Well, I say “old”. They’re the formerly known Olympus E-M1X (buy here), released in 2019, and the E-M1 Mark III (buy here), released in 2020. The first of those two was actually listed as discontinued at retailers last October.

The two new variants are the OM-D E-M1X IR and the OM-D E-M1 Mark III IR. If the names hadn’t given it away, these are essentially infrared versions of those same cameras. Infrared from the factory. No need for expensive conversions or messing around with filtered long exposures. Unfortunately, landscape photographers may not be able to get their hands on them.

With so many manufacturers now offering some pretty decent levels of in-body image stabilisation in their mirrorless cameras, how do they all stack up against each other? That’s what Dave Pardue at Imaging Resource wanted to find out when he built this rig that lets him test four cameras side-by-side at the same time.

In this video, he tests four popular APS-C and Micro Four Thirds bodies. The Sony A6600, Fujifilm X-T4, Panasonic GH5 and Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III. To make the test fair, and focus solely on IBIS, he paired each with a similarly specced lens with no optical stabilisation. But how do they all stand up against each other?

Olympus vs Panasonic – Who’s the king of Micro Four Thirds?

Micro Four Thirds occupies a strange part of the photographic world. You’ve got people who’ll never consider it purely because of the size of the sensor, regardless of what it might be able to do, and then you’ve got the other extreme that is ridiculously loyal to the format, regardless of whether they’re shooting Panasonic or Olympus.

This video from DPReview looks at two of Olympus and Panasonic’s flagship cameras, the Olympus E-M1 Mark III and the Panasonic G9 to see which deserves to be crowned king.

Along with a new MFT lens, Olympus has also announced the OM-D E-M1 Mark III camera. It’s a successor of the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, released in 2016. But other than improved in-body image stabilization and dedicated AF mode for the starry sky, this camera doesn’t seem to have any major improvements.
