OM System has roared back with the new OM-3, showing there is plenty of life left in Micro Four Thirds, particularly if you want lighter cameras with a wide range of affordable lenses.

When such a major new camera comes out, existing models in a maker’s line-up tend to get cheaper, and this seems to be the case with the OM System flagship, the OM-1 Mark II. You can now get it from Amazon at a great price, $1999.99

We gave the camera five stars in our original review and as we noted: ‘the OM System OM-1 Mark II is even better than the OM-1, and the graduated Live ND is a unique feature!’

The computational photography is steps ahead of any other camera company, and at this price, it’s a great buy – particularly for nature and travel photographers who don’t want to be weighed down with camera kit and lenses.
