OM-3

Having to crop down to 5.5MP on the OM pic here to match the framing really invalidates the comparison. I get that it was just adjusting after the fact to try to compare, but it's making the difference look much bigger than reality. If you shot it at 300mm f4.5 to match the framing in camera the OM

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

Yes. Does not help both companies, Panasonic and Olympus are focusing narrowly on their target audience, while a lot of us are waiting for a new GX85,GX9, Or from Olympus something from their compacts like the E-PM, E-PL- meanwhile seeing them refresh the OM-5 is saddening. Like Olympus (well now OM

It's notable that OM System has ignored the bottom end of the market and not produced an OM-10. Easier to go for lower volume higher margin products. And let's face it, OM System haven't produced many new designs; they've been coasting along on reheated Olympus products for a while.

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

Olympus Corporation won't allow it. OM System is actually a historic name brand that was chosen for its heritage. But yes, it isn't as iconic as the unavailable Olympus brand name.

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.
