Loves the OM-3 and its small lenses, though would pick the Zf if forced to choose one.

“The OM and all its lenses (except for major birding lenses) are small and sooooo worth it.”

Sold their Fuji birding lens and bought an OM-3 system for better AF.

“The AF is the main reason I sold my Fuji X mount birding lens and bought an OM-3 and new lens on their system instead.”

Travels with the OM-3 and three primes, covering everything but wildlife in a kit under 1.5kg.

“Currently on a citytrip with my OM3 and 35,50 and 85 f1.8 equivalents which allow we to sheet about anything except wildlife and its below 1.5 kg.”

Finds the high-res modes on their OM-3 make a huge difference for landscapes.

“the high res modes on my OM-3 make a huge difference in landscape photography, imo.”

Bought an OM-3 for landscapes and was surprised how well it does wildlife; the built-in live ND is great for handheld waterfalls.

“Same here, thinking I would throw the OM-3 in the same bag as my R7 just for landscapes, until I shot some wildlife with the OM-3.”

Bought an OM-3 as an everyday camera and liked it enough to sell their R7 for OM birding lenses.

“I bought an OM3 as an everyday type thing, companion to the R7. Recently sold the R7 for birding glass on the om3. Great little camera!”

Bought an OM-3 alongside their Canon R6 and has no regrets; it is always in the bag for vacations and looks no different for most non-bird photos.

“for vacation photos the OM-3 is the one that'll always be in my bag. I can't tell any meaningful difference between the two for 95% of (non-bird) photos.”

The OM-3 is their favourite travel and casual setup yet: small sharp lenses, a small flash, computational features and nice JPEG colours.

“Currently have an OM-3 and it’s my favorite travel / outdoor / casual setup I’ve had. Just the combo of small sharp lenses, small flash, computational features nice jpeg colors, etc. I could then”
