OM SYSTEM OM-3

The first thing anyone will notice about the OM-3 is its evocative retro styling. Inspired by illustrious forebears like the Olympus PEN, this compact silver and black camera looks like something Alain Delon might use to snap portraits of his petite amie in 1960s Nice. It even feels like a classic 35mm camera to use thanks to its flush surfaces, multiple dials and metal top and bottom plates.

But make no mistake: beyond the vintage styling there lies a capable, serious modern-day mirrorless camera that can pretty much do it all. And the metal body isn't just pretty: it helps it achieve IP53 weather-sealing.
