If you've been patiently waiting for a discount on the OM System OM-3, then I have good news. The stunning retro camera has just received its first-ever price cut in both the US and UK.

Over in the US, readers can bundle together a $150 upfront discount and $100 coupon automatically applied at checkout to get the body for just $1,749 (was $1,999) at Adorama. For the UK, you can pick the same body up for £1,499 (was £1,699) at Wex Photo Video.

The OM System OM-3 has just received its first-ever price cut in the US, with a superb combination of a $150 upfront discount and $100 coupon at Adorama. While still a pricey camera, at $1,750, you're paying a fair price for a body that (under the hood) still offers the vast majority of the same high-end features as the flagship OM-1 Mark II.

It's not just US readers who can get a great discount on the OM-3 this week. Over in the UK, Wex is currently offering a superb £200 upfront discount. Again, that's the first major discount we've seen on this stunning retro body.

It's easy to overlook the OM System OM-3 compared to other larger-sensor retro bodies like the Fujifilm X100VI or the Nikon Zf, but it's a fantastic do-it-all camera that offers a few distinct advantages.

With its smaller M34 sensor, the OM-3 currently has some of the best image stabilization on the market - something that's incredibly handy when taking longer exposures. Couple that with OM System's excellent computational modes like LiveND and hand-held High Res shot, and you'll quickly find yourself leaving your tripod and filters at home.

You can also pair up the OM-3 with some absolutely stunning (and lightweight) lenses. Both Adorama and Wex are offering the same discount on the 12-45mm F4 kit bundle. As a starting lens, this zoom is sharp, small, and offers a decent range in terms of focal length. Of course, with so many Micro Four Thirds lenses on the second-hand market, you're also spoilt for choice elsewhere, too.
