I have yet to fully dig into the Mk3 but liked Robin Wong's review.
As before and mentioned by others above..................a tad underwhelmed though in parts it depends what a Mk2 user might benefit from:-
USB charging
Face/eye detection AF...............I wonder if a little like some reports of the M1X's AI AF on planes 'working' on BiF ??? Would the face AF help in any way with wildlife???
4 rather 3 Custom Stores
etc???
It will be interesting to see what the wildlfe Visionaries & Ambassadors make it in their reviews
Oh, and the firmware has an update for the Mk2 and M1X https://www.olympus-europa.com/site/en/c/cameras_support/downloads/index.html
02/12/2020 and the Mk3 manual is there to download
Firmware update 3.2
Possible to use focus stacking photography with M.Zuikio Digital ED 12-45mm F4 PRO.
When EVF Auto Switch is set, you can select how the viewfinder is displayed when the monitor is open.
Off: Disables the eye sensor. Press the display button to switch between the EVF display and the monitor display.
On1: Eye sensor operates regardless of whether the rear monitor is open or closed. Press the display button to switch between the rear-panel monitor Live View display/Super Control Panel display.
On2: The eye sensor does not operate while the rear-panel monitor is open. Press the display button to switch between the rear-panel monitor Live View display/Super Control Panel display.
When you update the firmware to Ver. 3.2, the camera's settings (except the date and time) are reset.
As far as I read the same is stated for the M1X
And I do hope that in regard to "When you update the firmware to Ver. 3.2, the camera's settings (except the date and time) are reset." that Olympus Workspace saves the user setup and Custom Settings to reload onto the body!
Last, on the pre-ordering on the Olympus webshop they have a intro promo of a free battery and bag (NB battery £65 and the backpack £90 RRP )
