The OM-3 is my first MFT camera, and I am very impressed. The 12-45mm lens gives great clarity, and close focus capability. The camera is very versatile and I'm still exploring all its features. I am particularly impressed with the "in camera" focus stacking, which can produce excellent images. The only very minor criticism, is a small reduction in dynamic range, from my usual expectations, but then, I have been spoiled by years of using a full frame camera. The OM-3 won't be replacing, my "full frame", but as an "EDC" it is versatile, practical and a joy to use. Thoroughly recommended.
