While the OM SYSTEM OM-3 Mirrorless Camera is crafted for urban creatives who integrate photography into their daily lives, it stands out with its durable metal construction and vintage-inspired design. This camera is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly portable, making it an ideal companion for everything from city explorations to urban nature adventures. Its Creative Dial offers 4 Color Profiles and 4 Monochrome Profiles, along with a Color Creator and Art Filters, providing a wide range of creative options. The dedicated Computational Photography Button grants quick access to six computational photography features, enhancing your shooting experience. Seamlessly switch between stills, video, and Slow & Quick Motion video with the Still, Video, and S&Q Video Dial. The OM-3 is built for absolute reliability, boasting IP53 certified weather sealing and a professional-quality compact form. Its light metal body houses a 20MP Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor and 7.5EV In-Body Image Stabilization, ensuring sharp, high-quality images in various conditions.Paired with the OM-3, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens is engineered to meet the demands of both professional and amateur photographers. As the world's smallest and lightest medium-range zoom lens with a fixed aperture, it offers versatility for capturing everything from expansive landscapes to intricate portraits. This lens is a distinguished member of the OM-D line, renowned for its portability. Measuring under 3 inches in length and weighing just over half a pound, it complements the lightweight OM-D camera bodies perfectly. When combined with the E-M5 Mark III, this powerful photography duo measures only 4.5 inches long and weighs a mere 1.5 lbs, providing exceptional comfort for prolonged shooting sessions.Designed with a robust weather-sealed construction, the lens features a nine-seal system that effectively protects against rain, water, dust, and dirt, ensuring optimal performance in challenging environments. Whether you're capturing images in a rainstorm or a dust storm, this lens requires no additional protective gear, allowing you to focus solely on your photography. For macro enthusiasts, the lens offers a maximum shooting magnification of 0.5x (35mm equivalent) across the entire zoom range. With a minimum focusing distance of just 4.7 inches at the wide-angle end and 9.1 inches at the telephoto end, you can achieve remarkable close-ups of your subjects. When used with your camera's Focus Stacking Mode, it delivers deep focus from front to back, expanding your creative possibilities.The M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens is equipped with a compact, single, lightweight focusing element that ensures fast and accurate focus point capture. This, combined with the rapid and precise autofocusing system of OM-D cameras, makes tracking and capturing moving subjects effortless. Built with advanced glass elements, including ED, DSA, and Super HR lenses, it delivers sharp, high-resolution images throughout the zoom range. The ZERO lens coating minimizes ghosts and flares, ensuring your images remain clear and vibrant. With Olympus's global reputation for exceptional image quality, this lens exemplifies the brand's commitment to providing photographers with the tools needed to create stunning visuals.

Lots of review videos mention the enjoyable user experience with the OM-3. Let me add my voice to chorus: This has become a camera I love to take with me everywhere. It is light enough with the very competent kitted Pro zoom, and has retro charm with enough interesting computational features to have fun with. The design is surprisingly thoughtful, accessing those features is simple and quick. Thankfully the OM-3 comes with the newer OM System menus, which are so much easier to use than the older Olympus versions. Great autofocus, wonderful OM System colors, and almost silent shutter. Very happy with my purchase!

More fun than Expected

I wanted something that was easier to bring while birding, and for that, it fits the purpose. I tend to spend 2-3 hours at a time outside and it has been satisfying to have a more lightweight camera for this. it is compact and half the weight of my dslr+zoom telephoto. 
It's not necessarily a con but it is a thing:the raw images have a rather unique grain to them reminiscent of film, especially when in low light conditions. Also, buy a second battery if you'll be out all day. also if you wear polarized sunglasses, you might have some limitations with the viewfinder display. 
pro: autofocus on the bird setting does a fairly good job at tracking birds but it does have its limits with distance, as with anything. 
Surprisingly, the camera and microphone perform pretty well and it has been enjoyable to get videos of some of these birds. 
I have this paired with the m.zuiko 100-400mm lens. they perform well together.

Perfect for my needs.

The OM-3 is the guts of the larger and heavier OM-1 Mark II, in a smaller and lighter camera. Perfect for traveling, especially with smaller lenses, as it has no hand grip. Lovely retro camera design. An easy camera to fall in love with unless you're a wild life photographer who uses long, heavy lenses.
