OM System launches a new, more ‘urban’, creative creative camera body

The OM System OM-3–it’s the talk of the town today! A OM-3 reminiscent of the OM-3 from the 1980s and 90s, yet oh so much more capable! Reading through the tech data, I’m impressed at how OM is no longer hiding computational photography, art filters and video settings in the menus—they have put them front and centre in this cutting edge camera. An excellent move!

I’m not going to write anything more about this beyond stating my pleasant surprise. I recommend you read Peter Baumgarten’s excellent overview. He’s had it in his hands and has been shooting with it for some weeks now. He knows the OM System inside and outside, so he can give a much more informed judgement of the camera. You can see his post at Creative Island Photography. He is a very creatively-minded photographer—always thinking outside the box. He is an Olympus Ambassador who lives up on Manitoulin Island. The photos included in his review are worth the visit to his blog.
