OM-1 Mark II vs OM-3 for street/hiking (coming from E-M5 III + 12-100)

I have both and I'm about to offload the OM-3 as I just can't get a comfortable grip on it. I've tried the SmallRig grips and a half case and neither really work for me. The issue is the Colour Dial on the front. It just sits in the wrong place for my fingers. The grip is slightly smaller than the h

SOOC Jpegs from the Olympus Pen F, settings included

only on cameras with the Color dial. Which only 3 cameras have so far; the pen f, E-p7, and OM3. A shame really because they should have it on all of their cameras imo. Fuji is making bank on the film sim craze but OM systems are limiting it to only 3 of their cameras(2 of which are already 10 years

OM System Now Majority Owned By Former Olympus Camera Division Lead

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

Help me save money?

If you are okay with buying used, definitely take a look at the OM-5 mark 1. Besides the menu system, it's literally the exact same camera with slightly different looks, and it costs 40% less. I don't think that as a beginner you'd need a camera as advanced as the OM-3, the OM-5 is already one hell

Leica Lumix L10 is going to be selling like hot cakes in this economy

Tbf the options the Pen F, EP7 and OM3 offer are also really good but the user interface options are kinda outdated. On top of that Olympus/ OM System never was good at explaining the possibilities. Only a few content creators Rob Trek did a good job. They never made it easier, real time or with app

Why isn't this in every OM/Olympus camera? You don't need a physical dial for it.

My more advanced E-M1ii back then didn’t have it when the older PEN-F did. Here I am with the OM-1 and same problem. The OM-3 is a repackaged OM-1ii…. And as usual removed. The E-P7 is based on the E-M10IV. Olympus and OM Systems hates its users lol.
