Hi,
OM System announced today the OM3, a totally new camera with more or less the features of the OM1 mk2 in a retro body. In Europe for 2000€ body only.
I post here first some youtube reviews about the OM3, before I comment on this:
For me personally I am totally disappointed by the management decision about the price level and above all about the 2,36 MP EVF in 2025. The look is really nice. As you know, I am a totally fanboy of MFT. I like retro, I like small. I use also other systems (Nikon, Fuji, L-Mount), but MFT is where my heart is. No matter whether it is Olympus/OM System or Lumix.
But IMHO OM System makes it with this price (2000€ body only in Europe) and this EVF (2,36MP) for MFT even more difficut to improve market share. What were they thinking? Product of the competion is cheaper, also retro and fullframe. 3,6MP is in 2025 standard in the industry - even for lower cost models. How the hell is Olympus thinking to improve market share for this?
I can only pray that Panasonic will launch something better in 2025 for MFT. Please small, please better EVF and please at a realistic price vs. the competition and in line with the target audience of MFT.
I would love to hear your opinion on the OM 3.
