Source: explore.omsystem.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by explore.omsystem.com. Re-verified against the two re-fetched OM SYSTEM US pages (no WebFetch; fetch-clean.mjs). Source product/spec page (om-3) confirmed verbatim: Lens mount "Micro Four Thirds"; Image Sensor Type "4/3'' Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor" with "Effective pixels 20.4 Megapixels" / "Effective Resolution (approx.) 20.4 MP"; "Image Stabilisation Built-in 5-axis" (IBIS, Type Sensor shift, up to 7.5 EV with Sync IS); "Video Quality 4K, C4K..."; "4K 60p Video" and "3840x2160 (4K) 60p"; "Speed SH1 Approx. 120fps" sequential shooting (SH2 approx. 50fps with C-AF; focus and exposure fixed at first frame); "Weight 496g (including battery and memory card)". Corroboration buy page (om-3-body) confirmed: "Compact & lightweight Micro Four Thirds camera", "20.4MP Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor", "Up to 120 fps", "4K 60p video", and regular body-only price "OM-3 Body $1,999.99" (discounted $1,699.99). Exact model confirmed: OM-3 Body, Model V210050SW000 / UPC 050332195653 (not OM-1 or OM-1 Mark II). CORRECTION: releaseDate and specs.release ("2025-03") were NULLED — neither the source nor the corroboration page states any release/announcement/availability date (grep for 2025/March/February/announce/release returned only shutter-release and release-protect references). The prior "March 1, 2025" claim rested on Wikipedia, which is NOT among the source/corroboration URLs and thus is not verifiable here. max_video recorded as 4K@60p (page also lists C4K 4096x2160 60p); continuous_fps 120 is the SH1 electronic-shutter rate with focus/exposure fixed at the first frame. 7 of 8 specKeys survive; price and exact model verified.
