Pros:Robustness, top-of-the-range sensor, computational functions with GND filters, high-performance AF, design, grips and uses well (even if without grip), battery life (the same as the OM-1).
Cons:Nothing, but if I had to find a defect I would say the lack of the joypad. Many complain about the low resolution of the viewfinder, on the contrary I find it very faithful and functional, so I don't consider the low resolution a defect.
Opinion:I have owned the OM-1 (first version) for some time, which I consider a great camera, and I decided to add the OM-3 to my kit to make up for the small shortcomings of the OM-1, in fact the OM-3 has GND filters and a more complete and configurable AF, for the rest I think they are both mature cameras with which you always bring home the result. I consider them like Swiss army knives. The batteries are also the same and therefore the coexistence of both machines is easier. The OM-3, in my opinion, is suitable for travel and street photography but can, as I said before, be used for any photographic genre. Those who cannot bring home the result and complain about the usual limitations of the m4/3 mean that they have not understood how the system works. To close I specify that I am a former owner of the excellent z6II, in fact after a long period of coexistence with the two kits I realized in the field that the z6II always remained at home, so I decided to sell all the FF kit .... and I'm glad I did.
Pros:Excellent metal workmanship, from the touch you can guess the quality of the product, impeccable construction as Olympus tradition, every button and button in the right place, excellent image quality, almost like its older sister OM-1, stabilization and portability make it a high-level camera.
Cons:For my use I have not found any defects, I find it very practical
Opinion:Like all the latest OMSYSTEM products immediately praised then slowly more and more liked, this camera, however, is really beautiful and functional in every aspect, with its resemblance to retro and vintage cameras it is enjoying a lot of success, I have owned it for about 15 days, and I can speak of it more than well, also having the older sister OM-1 II, practically the files are identical in quality, but with OM-3 you can have fun and create jpeg images with the CP key and color profiles you can create your favorite image without having to go fiddling around on the PC. The tactile sensation it transmits is beautiful and unique, this camera winks at landscape and street photographers, I also tried it on the monopod with the 300f4 in birdlife, but I was not thrilled, in fact for this type of photo there is the OM-1. Using this OM-3 is a lot of fun, you think more about the substance of the shot as we used to do with film, taken with the 12-45f4 kit it weighs with the 750g lens so you don't realize you have it at your fingertips. The strong point remains the stacked sensor with excellent image quality, then there are the Live ND filters up to ND64, and the new Live GND much appreciated for landscape photos, obviously shooting in high resolution, with the 80MP 14-Bit tripod, 50MP freehand. For those who were finally looking for a camera with first-class quality, with reportage camera dimensions.
