4.3 Video Upload goes SO hard for videos like this.

WAITING FOR SEPTEMBER 9TH FOR THE NEW OM SYSTEM CAMERA

I appreciate the 4/3 aspect ratio you used in this video. It did not go unnoticed. It just look much better.

Ultimately the L-10 and OM-3 are both great cameras. For me the IBIS and weather sealing on the OM-3 are must-haves. Love my OM-3.

I finally broke down and got the OM 20mm 1.4 PRO for my OM3 and will probably sell half my lenses now. It's made this camera pretty much perfect, for me.

"Zoomage" should be a recognised photography term! 🙂

I watched this with my mind already made up. I know that I need an OM3 much more than the fixed capabilities of the very pretty LUMIX.

Radiant really needs a trial version, even if it’s limited to something like 30 minutes. There’s no way I’m paying A$200 for software when I have no idea how well it’ll work with my files or whether it’ll even work with them at all.

Leaf shutter in the L10 is the killer feature for me when I already have full frame cameras and a full kit of larger lenses!

@sabatiniontech7256 1 month ago

The key points here are the fabulous f1.7-2.8 24-75mm lens on the Panasonic L10 and it's leaf shutter which makes flash photography easy.

I'm on holiday currently, with my newly-bought OM3 and the Olympus 8-25 mm f/4 pro, 14-150 mm f/4-5.6 II and 75-300 mm lenses ( I've had the lenses for a while). This covers me for pretty much everything: the 8-25 for small villages, castles and gardens, the 14-150 for most other things and the 75-300 for birds etc.

I'm very pleased with the OM3 so far.

@Dinkleburg707 1 month ago

OM3 with the 12-40mm f/2.8 has been a great setup for me.

I'm a hard sell when it comes to high end cameras that don't have an interchangeable lens system. If I'm paying that much for a camera, I want to be able to put whatever glass I like on it, not be stuck with what the manufacturer thinks I want to shoot, so that's already a complete non-starter for me with the L10. I have an OM-3 and adore that camera, it's basically a perfect M4/3 camera, AND I can use whatever lens I want on it.

I want something quality and portable. Unfortunately cameras with interchangeable lens, aren't nearly as portable if you want anything but a prime. Let's be real we all really just want an Lx100 mk3

@redsky269 1 month ago

Watching your videos have made me very curious about olympus / om system gear; I admire your enthusiasm and knowledge. All the best!

Big fumble that the L10 doesnt have IBIS in my opinion.

@Xerpocalypse_ 1 month ago

If they brought out a black version of the OM-3 it would be a strong contender for a future upgrade for me, but I'm waiting for Sept. 9th and subsequent long-term reviews. 👀 I really like the rangefinder look. Shame that Dual-IS doesn't work across 4/3 sensor systems but the IBIS on the OM-3 is so good that having a mix of lenses almost doesn't matter.
