OM-3 review at ePhotozine: “superb camera”
OM-3 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, OM store USA.
ePhotozine published the full OM-3 review:
We are so spoilt with choices, from huge pixel counts on full frame, through the more compact APS-C ranges, and then through to the much more compact and lighter MFT format in delightful cameras such as the OM-3. OM System cameras have always been beautiful objects in themselves, and they still have that sense of style. The OM-3 received some appreciative glances and even comments during this review process. It has the looks and the style for sure.
However, the main purpose of a camera is not just to look good, although it helps in pride of ownership, but to be functional, efficient and reliable. The OM-3 has all of this, being weather resistant, solid, operationally slick and fast, all in a body that is compact enough to take anywhere. Could this be the perfect travel camera? Creative and computational features open up easy access to images and filmic styles. The lenses are also compact, weather sealed and excellent performers, perfect companions to the small OM System bodies.
Within the OM range, this is a step up from the very compact OM-5 and lies comfortably between that and the flagship OM-1 II. A superb camera that has been a great shooting experience and is a definite Editor’s Choice.
