Chronology
PredecessorOM System OM-1 Mark II

The OM System OM-3 is a retro-styled mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced by OM Digital Solutions on the Micro Four Thirds system. It is styled on the original Olympus OM-1 35mm camera. [2] It is the first new product line introduced by OM System after its acquisition of the imaging divisions of the camera manufacturer Olympus in 2021. [3]

The OM-3 was announced on the 6th of February 2025. [4] It includes the same 20.4MP stacked sensor found in the flagship OM System OM-1 Mark II, though only one SD card slot. [5] [6] It features a Creative Dial as found on the Digital PEN-F cameras for choosing colour modes and filters, [5] and is weather sealed to IP53 standards. [7]
