You’ve likely seen it all over: the OM-3 just won the EISA Award for Best Micro Four Thirds Camera of the Year. But considering it’s the only MFT camera released in 2025 so far… let’s just say the competition wasn’t exactly fierce 😉.

Also, keep in mind: the EISA Awards receive financial backing from the very companies they’re awarding—making the whole thing pretty biased. So when a camera or lens gets an “award,” it’s worth remembering that this organization isn’t exactly independent.

NOTE: Still, the OM-3 is a very beautiful and capable camera!
