More OM-3 info from testers

A couple of people who tested the new OM-3 told me this:

Tester 1:

Hello Andrea, I will place my order of the brand new Om-3! 😉 Immediately after the presentation on February 6th. The beautiful Om-3 contains all the last and the best technology currently available from Om System. But technology and high construction quality have a price, it is better to accept it (so start putting some money aside).

Tester 2:

Besides the looking, really nothing get exciting.

Tester 3:

Yeah, its bigger than the OM-5 but it still feels light.. What’s surprising are the colors and filters…like them more than the Fuji!

Tester 4:

It has some minor new features over the OM-1II…so there are improvements especially in autofocus.

Unconfirmed OM-3 specs and three new “updated” lenses

Leaked image of the new OM-3

A source sent me the following info. But I have NOT been able to confirm this. So there is still a chance this might be wrong info. He wrote:

I saw the new camera. it is metal. same sensor and processor as this camera, just use a different coating on the cmos to prevent dust, a little bit improvement. it has a front dial as the penf to adjust the color saturation.
Overall made quality just like penf . top dials feel good and solid. om-1ii viewfinder and real lcd panel.
besides the looking, really nothing get exciting.

He also wrote about new lenses:

new 17mm f1.8 and 25mm they only update the looks and structure for anti dust and splash.
the old 100-400 lens now also gets update to 5 Axis lens sync IS.

Sounds all reasonable but still it has to be taken with a grain of salt. Certainly would have hoped the sensor would be completely new…but hey…that rumor might be wrong on that part :)
