Three weeks with the @OMSYSTEMcameras OM-3: The camera that changed how I think about weight.
500g body. 1.8kg complete kit covering 24-300mm f/2.8. Handheld 50MP files that hold their own at A3+. Built-in ND filters. 7.5 stops of stabilization that let me shoot at 1/4s on the subway.
This little system forced me to question everything I thought I knew about Micro Four Thirds. Coming from medium format, I expected compromises. What I got instead was a completely different photographic experience—one where the camera simply disappears and you just shoot.
I walked Munich for three weeks: U-Bahn stations, parks, rain, crowds. One battery lasted full days (record: 1,180 shots with juice left). The 50MP High Res mode became my secret weapon for architecture. And that moment when I couldn't tell my prints apart from medium format? That was humbling.
Not perfect—high ISO has limits, that left power switch drives me nuts—but it offers something no other system delivers: complete creative freedom without the weight penalty.
