OM SYSTEM launched its most current electronic camera, the OM SYSTEM OM-3, today. I met with a rep from OM SYSTEM over coffee today and saw the OM-3 firsthand. I intended to share my first thoughts on this brand-new launch. OM SYSTEM has traditionally dealt with wild animals, nature, and bird photographers. With the OM-3, they're expanding their horizons to include urban professional photographers.
Many in the market anticipated this move. OM SYSTEM's original technique of concentrating on specific niches with tailored cameras has actually been a great idea, and the OM-3 represents a natural development of this method. The OM-3, priced at around 2000, enters a competitive market. Its retro style will certainly interest several digital photographers that appreciate a traditional look incorporated with contemporary innovation.
The OM-3 includes 5-axis picture stablizing that offers approximately 6.5 quits of compensation in the center of the frame and 5.5 at the side. Combined with the company's IS image-stabilized lenses, it leaps to 7.5 stops in the center of the framework and 6.5 at the edges. The OM-3 is developed around a magnesium alloy body that is dirt and dampness immune.
The OM-3 includes countless in-body devices, consisting of High-Res Shot (the firm's name for a pixel-shifted photo capture system). The electronic camera can likewise catch HDR, execute emphasis piling, and multi-exposure.

OM System simply announced their brand-new camera and a plethora of new lens variations. The brand-new camera is an interesting addition to their steady and will certainly be focused on a completely different sort of photographer. Road and metropolitan wild animals photographers and photographic musicians, look into the OM-3. I'll begin by saying this is not a technical evaluation; I will certainly create among those later when it is released.
There's no rejecting that the 2 versions of the OM-1 electronic cameras are aimed mostly at wild animals and landscapes. There has actually been a massive movement from other systems to that video camera due to the fact that of its ingenious computational photography attributes that leave other brands always playing catch-up. Among others, there are Live Composite, Live Time, Live ND, and Live ND Graduate.
Street digital photographers and city wild animals digital photographers will certainly likewise be drawn to the camera. It's a video camera intended at imagination and allows digital photographers to create their designs inside the camera.
Subsequently, OM Digital Solutions is following the Olympus legacy and creating extremely ingenious, smaller electronic cameras. The OM-3 looks like one of Maitani's Olympus SLRs. OM-3 Camera. Following the exact same ideals as its predecessors, it is smaller sized and lighter than its competitors. It is evocative old Olympus film SLRs combined with the much-loved and reimagined Olympus PEN-F released in 2016.
All the switches and dials on the electronic camera have a firm, solid feel to them. On the front is a creativity dial, similar to the one on the digital version of the PEN-F. As opposed to delving deep right into the menus, the front body dial switches between different imaginative color types.
There are four shade and 4 black-and-white profile alternatives. Each is flexible and can be saved in the video camera as a preset. Hundreds of variations are feasible, so professional photographers can create an appearance that suits their photo design. Those appearances can be conserved and transferred to various other cams.
For me, having two dials is necessary for digital photography. On top of the body are the setting dial, the hot footwear, the shutter launch button, and other useful dials and switches, lots of which are customizable. The rear sports a fully articulated Live View screen, in addition to even more control switches.
The cam was healthy with that lens and my 40-150mm f/4 PRO. I did try it with my literally broader and a lot more very featured 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO, and that was alright as well, but visually, the f/4 lenses were much better and somewhat better balanced.
I transformed the feature switch from [+/-] to ISO, as direct exposure compensation is completely obtainable with the dials anyhow. The setting dial has a charitable five personalized settingsone more than the OM-1. The front-of-body imaginative dial is what makes this cam differ from the various other OM versions, and certainly, any kind of various other electronic camera.
