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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Personally, I think the best overall setup is 12-45mm f4 pro, 40-150mm f4 pro, 75-300mm, dji 15mm f1.7 and sigma 56mm f1.4 (+ a flash). It would cover most situations, everything would be very small and the cost is relatively low. If I had to make a budget version of it, it would still actually incl
