OM System has presented the OM-3 micro four thirds Mirrorless camera, combining an Olympus -style body of the old school with the latest stacked sensor technology. The new model offers buyers many of the company's capabilities of $ 2,300 OM-1 Mark II of the company, including fast shooting speeds and 4K 60P video, at a slightly lower price.
The OM-3 is a new product line for the OM system, which falls between OM-1 II and OM-5. However, it is quite beautiful that any of the models, evoking the elderly, coveted Olympus Pen-F Chamber. Like that model, it lacks a high grip, so users must trust the leather leather texture and the restraint to keep it. For travelers, OM-3 is relatively light with only 17.5 ounces (496 grams) without lens, a little less than the X100 VI of Fujifilm.
About the system
The body is full of dials and switches, including a pair of shooting dials, a dial of mode and another to change between photographing photos, video and s & q. An unusual characteristic is a “creative sphere” in the front (taken from the PEN-F) that allows it to change between five modes (standard, monkey, color, art and creator of color). Those open screen menus that allow greater customization.
Inside, however, OM-3 is effectively a mini OM-1 II. Like that model, it comes with an stacked BSI sensor of 20.37 megapixels that offers very fast 50 fps shooting speeds with continuous automatic approach. It also offers the same automatic phase detection approach system in 1,053 points together with the trigger prior to the capture of up to 70 pictures. And despite the small size, it comes with the stabilization of five axes in the body, although with lower performance (6.5 stops instead of 8) compared to OM-1 II.
About the system
The other important reduction is the EVF of 2.36 million points of lower resolution that is a bit disappointing given the price (the OM-1 II has a good EVF of 5.76 million points). It also comes with just a UHS-II memory card slot. However, the OM-3 has the same 3.0-inch angle angle screen as OM-1 II, which is good for content creators, while offering an identical IP53 meteorological sealing and the same Blx-1 battery With 590 maximum shots in standard. mode.
On the video side, the OM-3 can record a 4K A video up to 60p using the complete sensor width with 10-bit record recording (although you cannot record a 10-bit video in standard mode such as the last Panasonic cameras ). It also offers 1080p slow-mo to up to 240 fps, although with a crop. If you are willing to use an external recorder, you can capture a video without processing 4K to up to 60 fps. Like OM-1 II, OM-3 has a minimum shutter in all video modes, so it should be excellent for capturing the action.
The OM-3 is now at an early request to $ 2,000 (only body)either $ 2,300 In a kit with the M.Zuiko Digital Ed 12-45 mm f/4 Pro. The shipment is expected to begin at the end of February. Olympus also announced an updated and more resistant version of its 100-400 mm zoom, $ 1,500 M.Zuiko Digital Ed 100-400 mm F5.0-6.3 IS IITogether with new climate resistant cousins, M.Zuiko Digital 17 mm F2.8 II ($ 550) and M.Zuiko Digital 25 mm F1.8 II ($ 500).
