OM-3

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

Does not work reliably on Olympus/OM System. Does not work with AFC. Unusable for video with af.

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 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.

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

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

Yes. Market share statistics don’t lie. 43% Canon 28% Sony 12% Nikon 9% Fuji 4% Panasonic 2% OM/Olympus MFT is a niche system. Always was. I recently read Panasonic FF is 10% in Europe which is really quite incredible.

As a new photographer, what are you going to be doing that needs the features of these cameras that cannot done by an older cheaper camera? This is a serious question you need to ask yourself, and then look back on the older models and see how far back you can go an still meet your requirements. If
