Olympus – Focused on Filmmaking
Meanwhile the Olympus O-MD E-M1 Mark III, freshly launched this year, upgrades the onboard video features from the Mark II model, which were already excellent, and brings the level up close to that of the flagship E-M1X. So there’s now three levels of handheld IS on board, AF speed and sensitivity is adjustable in O-MD Movie AF, there’s a 120fps high speed movie option and improved sound quality, thanks to a new pre-amp, all in a far more compact body and at a lower price point as well.
Separately there are also two new videographer audio kits being offered, featuring a choice of either the LS-P1 or LSP4. Priced at £139.99 and £199 respectively, the kit includes the recorder plus a hot shoe adaptor, 3.5mm cable and a windshield. There’s also a Lavalier Kit that pairs one of these discreet little mics with the LS-P1 for a highly affordable kit price of just £129.99. It’s a formidable line-up and the E-M1 system is fast becoming a range that professionals looking for a hybrid option need to be taking a closer look at.
