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.

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

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

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

I truly hope—pray, even—that OM System’s next release won’t just be another rehash like the OM-1 Mark II. That camera, while fine on paper, was essentially a software update sold at full price, and it left many of us deeply disillusioned. I’m starting to lose hope in the brand. I’ve been using the E

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

I have been going on photowalks in Seattle area for past couple of years and I always see a bunch of m43 cameras in there. I think most people there do have a second or third system (FF or APSC) but since photowalks are casual and mostly focused on street photography, many people prefer to bring the

yeah, it's really awesome. Even for macro photography, those shots look amazing. Guy really knows his stuff. Cool thing about Olympus/OM system cameras is that they're able to stack images internally. So you don't need to do a bunch of post-processing work, it all gets done within the camera I belie

There are a number of factors involved here but you can start with (I'll preface this with the fact I use both OM-1 & OM-3 and also the Sony A7r5 and A7Cii, and Nikon before that, however it's the OM-3 for me 95% of the time and I'm selling the A7r5 in the Summer). I will also mention that since I n

The big one is that the Continuous AF with Tracking is nowhere near as good as Nikon 3D Tracking, and you can't set it to "any subject detect" like the Nikons. Then other things like you can't re-center the focus point by long-pressing "OK" unless you have moved it recently and it is active. Punch-i
