Olympus om d e m5 mark iii vs olympus pen e pl9?

Both cameras use the same Micro Four Thirds sensor size and mount, so every lens in the Micro Four Thirds system fits either one. The difference is in the body. The OM-D E-M5 Mark III has a 20.4-megapixel sensor and sits higher in Olympus's range. The PEN E-PL9 is a beginner camera with 16.1 megapixels, a flip-down selfie screen and 4K video.

If you want a simple first camera and like the idea of selfies, the E-PL9 is the easier pick. If you want more resolution and the step up in handling that comes with an OM-D, go for the E-M5 Mark III. Both have in-body stabilisation, so you can use older lenses steadily on either.
