Verdict
Pick the E-M1 Mark II if you want to save €265 and don’t need the newer autofocus or computational features; its core speed, resolution, and stabilization are identical. The E-M1 Mark III stays the better choice if you’re willing to pay the premium for improved subject tracking, Starry Sky AF, and a more refined menu system.
