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

whatever m43 camera you purchase, you won't see much in your pictures. The image quality is very similar from all the cameras for maybe like 10-13 years. What you pay for are the features on top of image quality. Mechanical dials, video features, computational photography, subject detection, weather

Few factors : - Lumix has always been a bit of a video-centric brand, ever since the GH1 released. Most of why peop[le bought Lumix cameras for was very often the excellent video specs compared to the price point, and not really their photo capabilities (which are still good) - Olympus has a HUGE ba

Does not work reliably on Olympus/OM System. Does not work with AFC. Unusable for video with af.

I have enough money to buy a full frame. Sometimes I consider it. Nikons retro styld camera is pretty tempting. But I am really happy with my OM-3. Better to just save the money and use my camera.

Check out the E-P7. I got it in mint condition with kit lens for only $505 from MAP Camera on eBay. It looks awesome and has the same color profiles as the OM-3. IQ is going be be basically identical to OM-3, but you are giving up an EVF, premium metal construction and some advanced computational mo

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
