OM-3, body only
OM System · £1,669
Nice, but provisional
A retro-styled Micro Four Thirds body with quick-access dials, £1,669, which is £570 above the OM-5 Mark II on the same sensor format. The dials and the look are the product, and they are nicely done. It also costs more than the full-frame Canon R8, which is a difficult sentence to write about a camera with a sensor a quarter of the size.
