OM-3 or A6700 for travel?

Between OM-3 and A6700 for mounting on a backpack strap, I would pick OM-3 due to weather sealing and smaller lens set. But if I knew I would carry my camera mounted on a backpack strap and I would not need an EVF, then I would pick an Olympus E-P7 with Oly 14-42mm EZ or Pana 12-35 for day/outdoors

Moving from Sony to either Fuji or OM....the OM-3 seems to have everything I want, but....the "Fuji color" and other features are making me second guess

I would consider renting both cameras with a flagship lens and testing them out for yourself. I’d get the OM-3 with the 12-40mm 2.8 Pro to test out OM System

Future of OMSystem

Rumors of the death of the m43 system have been circulating since at least 2018 when YouTuber Tony Northrup predicted its demise in a few years. Well, here we are in 2026 and the system is still with us, having outlived his own personal marriage. Although OM System is now privately held and therefor

Why?

R8 is a base model full frame with minimal features, it lacks weather sealing, stabilization, and uses a small battery. It's main selling point is that it's a full frame but not much else going for it. OM-3 is a flagship level camera with IP rated weather sealing, 7.5 stops of IBIS with stabilized l

OM-3 or A6700 for travel?

Don't let glasses or EVF placement dissuade you from using the EVF. With either camera just get an add-on rubber eye cup and adjust the diopter for viewing through your glasses. The worst you'll deal with is a little nose tip smudge on your back display. EVFs exist for a reason. As for which camera,

To anyone who has shot multiple systems: How do Lumix and Olympus lenses actually stack up against other brands?

This is the usual PoV of a FF user who hasn't used M43 and really has no idea what he's talking about. He is basically repeating internet rhetoric that he hasn't bothered to explore. Ask him which M43 cameras & lenses he's used? If you want an unbiased PoV then check out the numerous Wedding photogr

Ratlos bei der Kamera wahl

Die Frage ist zunächst: Wieso Hasselblad bzw Leica? Für den Look? Für's 'haben'? Technisch gesehen sind diese Kameras zwar sehr gut und überdecken rein rechnernisch den MFT Sensor der OM, allerdings hast du auf Insta und Co nichts davon. Wenn du wirklich in den großformatigen Print gehen möchtest, w

Help me save money?

Hey I have an OM3 and it was my first camera in the MFT ecosystem. Paired it with the excellent 12-40 f2.8 for really good weather sealing. I've been out in really heavy snow storms in Canada and Scandinavian rain without issues. Added the 40-150 f2.8 for action and now I'm looking at the 60mm macro

Future of OMSystem

I have the OM-3 and a handful of lenses I love so if the company explodes, I'll be good until all the used ones on ebay dry up. Probably longer than I'll be alive. Cameras are here for a good time, not a long time. It's all good.
