Title: Great camera! Olympus (OM System) is back!
Review: Great camera by Olympus/OM System. A true gem. Beutifully crafted (looks stunning), has all the capabilities of the OM1 mkII (almost), in a magnesium alloy retro body (no plastics here). Performance rocks in all aspects: fast sutofocus, best in class IBIS, great kit lens, Art Filters (like Fujifilm’s), Scene Modes, in-camera computational photography features, Astro Photography, whole day long lasting battery, weather sealed. What’s there not to like?

Title: Back to the future with the OM-3
Review: I purchased a PenF in 2016, and like many I was expecting an updated Mk II. Instead, the reincarnation of the classic 70’s era OM SLRs was launched. As the original owner of a OM-2 purchased in 1975, this was a “back to the future” moment…after 50 years (see photo). For the camera history buffs, the OM-2 was ground breaking because it featured automatic exposure (AE) with an aperture-preferred shutter!DesignThe “throwback” design makes it one of most beautiful camera on the market. The all-metal construction feels premium making it well suited for travel, urban and outdoor photography. I was struck by how light the OM-3 was. Oddly it felt lighter in my hand than the PenF which did not make sense since the OM-3 weighs 496 g versus 427 g for the PenF. I attribute this to being less dense since the OM-3 is larger than the PenF. It along with 3-4 lens can easily fit into one of the three compartments of my 20L under seat back pack (see photo)HandlingMuch has been written about the flat front and lack of a grip. The original OM SLRs were flat and I believe respecting this heritage and the addition of a front grip is mutually exclusive. As you would expect the compact lenses were weightless. The 12-45 f/4 Pro felt weightless and a great match to the body. There is feeling of front heaviness with the 12-40 f/2.8 Pro but balance was still good. I tried the bulky 8-25 f/4 pro wide angle and there is a perceptible front heaviness but thankfully the center of gravity doesn’t shift during telescoping. The back thumb grip does come in handy. I did find that my ring and pinkie fingers do rub against the creative dial. For longer/larger lens, I will use the Peak Design Micro Clutch to improve the grip without diminishing the retro look (see photos).The multiple tactile dials on the top are satisfyingly solid and addictive. There are numerous programable buttons, and I especially like the CP button for direct access to computational functions. The dedicated AF button on the back makes back button focusing easy. Similar to the PenF, there is a front creative dial for adjusting color and monochrome profiles. It is simply small, lightweight, and completely solid in your hands.PerformanceFocus is brazing fast and accurate compared to the PenF. The menu system is new but easy to understand especially for OM users. It is throughly modern inside with state of the art technologies taken from the OM-1 MkII. Be aware that there are differences to maintain distance to the flagship such as one less SD card slots, lower top electronic shutter speed, one less Live ND filter etc. I do not feel those subtractions diminish the OM-3 capabilities especially since they are all new to me anyways.ValueCritics who argue that you can buy a larger sensor camera for the same price miss the point of “less is more”. For me, photography is a hobby and creative activity. Since it is not a profession, I have zero motivation to haul bulky gear. Since I value portability and durability during my travels, I am willing to spend the $ for the best packable, weather sealed, do everything, go anywhere camera. Getting out, taking pictures, recording memories and having fun is more valuable than additional pixels or wider dynamic range. The OM-3 hits the target and it motivates and inspires to create.

Title: My Sample Had a Defect But Amazon’s Return/Refund Process Worked Well
Review: This may not be a fair review as I was never able to use the camera. A defect prevented my from even starting to set up the camera. I was really was looking forward to using the camera as it reminded me of the SLRs I used at the beginning of my photographic experience. The lack of a forward projection grip also ment that ihat it was easier to keep keep my fingers out of the field of view with my ultra-wide Laowa lenses. I will never know as didn’t get it operational. In the though the camera didn’t feel right in my hands and for the OM-1 Mk II was on sale for the same price. Amazon’s return and refund process worked just fine

Title: Not the camera for me
Review: A great lookin camera but, the lack of a grip, mediocre viewfinder, and no meaningful difference from OM-1, meant I returned this.
