If you’ve been eyeing a full-featured mirrorless rig that mixes vintage aesthetic with modern specs, this might just be the moment to pounce.
First, let’s talk about what makes the OM-3 more than just a pretty face. Under that silver, old-school shell sits a 20 MP BSI stacked Live MOS sensor and class-leading 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (up to 7.5 stops). You get performance that punches far above its compact frame. Add in the creative dial, computational features (Live ND, HDR, focus stacking), and video tools like OM-Log400, and you’ve got a camera built for those who want flexibility and punch in one body.
The body itself reinforces the appeal. Metal build, splash-proof, freeze-proof, dustproof (IP53), and with the feel of a classic SLR, the OM-3 bridges style and function in a way that modern all-plastics rarely match. It’s light, but doesn’t feel cheap, and it’s designed to survive real use - not just showroom display.
In real-world use, reviews are glowing. The autofocus is fast and reliable, image quality is sharp with great high ISO handling, and users particularly praise the monochrome profiles, in-camera ND filters, and overall responsiveness. Some mention the lack of a strong grip as a minor quirk, but for many, that’s a trade-off they’re happy to accept for the look and size.
As with all Big Deal Days offers, this isn’t likely to last. Stock could vanish fast, or Amazon might quietly restore the prior price without warning. If this has been on your radar, now’s the time to act - £1,363 is a very strong drop for a camera this capable, with that kind of retro flair.
