Olympus XA3

The Olympus XA3 is a compact 35mm film camera from the Olympus XA series of clamshell-design pocket compacts. It was produced in the 1980s and positioned as an easy-to-carry everyday camera for print film users.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Olympus XA3 have ranged from around £12 to £160, with mid-condition examples typically selling for £80–£95. These are saleroom hammer results and exclude buyer's premium, so retail asking prices today in 2026 tend to sit noticeably higher. Condition drives value heavily: scruffy or untested bodies sell cheaply, while clean, working examples are what buyers are willing to pay a premium for.
