OM-3

OM isn't 'the poorest system' for landscapes. That's a narrow mindset of the uninformed (usually FF shooters who've never used M43 and go by specs). It's extremely difficult to tell the difference between 11 or 12 stops in a print (for example). The difference is more in the operator than the gear.

While its pretty unique to have an astro dedicated camera, i feel like the minor modifications (filter tweaks, new color profiles) dont really justify such a hefty price increase. The OM3 was already a hard enough sell at $2k, 2500 feels like a non-starter especially since theyre narrowing the targe

silver-finished lenses to match the retro aesthetic. I dont personally get this one, all the original analog lenses from the om-zuiko series are black. Im one of those who bought a om-3 to match my analog om-1 (and Im using the old lenses with a converter) and the silver lenses are not for me, I wou

Personally, I think OM is goin’s to be okay. As we keep pushing tech, larger sensors keep lose (some) of their advantages. There are STILL people who believe that full frame “isn’t that much bigger” but they are wrong. M43 offers real advantages. The OM-3 is my favorite camera of all time! If you lo

Your requirements: Size (you won't carry a bulky system);Reach (birding).And small+portable EDC. Cameras: The OM-5 or OM-3. The OM-5 will save you money and is definitely good enough if you can keep the crosshairs on a bird yourself. If you're OK with the ART-filters or post processing, then magical

Tbf, telephoto/wildlife was Olympus’ (now OM systems) main selling point for their M43 platform. They made damn sure their higher end telephoto and supertelephoto lenses were tack sharp. Their pro super teles easily compete with Nikon and Canon. Panasonic focus mostly on video, while Leica focus on

Oh, this is like "perfect weather" for these Oly cameras. I have dropped mine into a rainforest mud once and washed it off under a waterfall. Nothing but some "crunch" in dials for the next few weeks - still works flawlessly. Some other cameras have good weather sealing too (like the mid-range/flags

Idk what camera you are using but my om-3 autofocus is a lot better than my Lumix s5ii and about 80% as good as my canon r8

First of all, this isn’t targeted at you, OP. I may let out a bit of frustration here because these posts are every other day. You just caught me with some time to rant. I never understood the “M43 is dead” argument. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I just don’t understand the criteria. The fundament

I sold my x100vi not long after I picked up the OM-3. It’s a much better camera in almost any way. Yes, larger, but it’s still very compact with some lenses. Video is much, much better on THE OM-3! The focus difference is night and day too!
