The OM System OM‑3 delivers a joyful shooting experience with its gorgeous retro design, speedy stacked sensor, and handy computational photography modes. While the 20 MP sensor, lack of a grip, and premium price may deter some, it remains a standout compact mirrorless camera for style and performance.
