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.

Okay, so first of all, it seems you are pretty set on M43 / Olympus / OM System cameras. The first thing that you need to understand is that those cameras work with processor generations, and that some generations are super close, while other provide a generational leap. For example : True Pic VIII

That PD Clip is a thingie you screw on the tripodmount, and it makes it easy to clip your camera to your backpack or whatever. Bit of an alternative to a shoulderstrap. You unclick it from your bag, take your shots, and put it back. I can see the appeal in certain situations, but not able to use it

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'm not sure if that's the Xtrans, the file processing, or what. It just didn't retain detail as much as it should have. P

Hi, me again :) (i'm even more in M43) 1- The weather resistant bodies are not the lightest or the cheapest. On the lighter side, the best is the OM-3 and the best value the Lumix G95/G95D/G97 . 2- There are plenty of good M43 lenses in M43, new or used. It's a vast system but... ... the wr lenses a

I'd strongly recommend this set up, which I also use for children aged 1-5. Do not hesitate to get good quality used equipment if that's what it takes to make it work. OM-3 with 12-45mm f/4 lens kit Sigma 56mm/1.4 OM20mm/1.4 It's more expensive than some options but cheaper than many others. It is f
