It's been more than four and a half years since Olympus first introduced the OM-D E-M5 Mark II. Fans of the Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless camera have been waiting with baited breaths ever since for an eventual successor to be released.

With much of the industry shifting its focus towards Full Frame Mirrorless cameras, it felt as though that day may never come. If you're still holding out hope for an E-M5 successor though, you can finally breathe a collective sigh of relief because Olympus is officially announcing the release of the OM-D E-M5 Mark III today. Inheriting the 20 Megapixel Live MOS sensor and the TruePic VIII Image Processor that was first introduced in Olympus's top tier E-M1 Mark II, the OM-D E-M5 Mark III is a lightweight, compact, and weather-sealed mid-tier M43 option for photographers looking for the right balance between performance and pocketability. With the introduction of the OM-D E-M5 Mark III (and the E-M1X before it back in January of this year), Olympus is making a definitive declaration that they remain dedicated to the Micro Four Thirds ecosystem. We got to spend some time in the literal wild shooting with the OM-D E-M5 Mark III last week in Moab, Utah. Was the E-M5 Mark III worth the long wait? Find out after the jump. . thephoblographer.com
