China, the world’s largest camera market, has just seen a significant price cut on the OM-3 camera. Originally released in February 2025, the OM-3 is now selling for just 9,991 yuan — a sharp drop of approximately 3,000 yuan in only six months.

And since September 1 also in Europe we got a 200 Euro discount at FotoErhardt, Fotokoch, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton.

The only deal I found in the USA is that $100 instant coupon at Adorama (Click here).
