Any comparison of still image quality with new Air 3S vs Air 2S vs Mavic 3 classic?

[Droning on and on...]

I do not advise anything to anyone. I simply stated that IMHO O4 on its own is not enought reason to either wait for M4 or upgrade to M4 from M3P.

That looks an awful lot like advice in this neck of the woods.

I thought that was the essence of your original post that the O4 was the main reason to buy M4.
Quote from your post:
"Top reason being O4, regardless of what other feature goodies they come up with."

Okay, I understand. We simply disagree on the value of O4.

a lot can be achieved with all 3 cameras on this amazing drone.

100% agree. These little sensors punch above their weight, and they have relatively fast lenses. Can get great results, especially from a panorama (in the case of photos)

This was shot with the Mavic3's 70mm camera:

Stunning photo!

Thanks! This was one of the first panoramas I took with the 70mm camera, and I was floored by the sharpness and image quality. This was a green light for shooting with that camera.

Agree that this little camera punches well above its weight. Even single captures (12MP) are very usable and workable. Your panorama photo is a good example and testimony to what can be achieved with this camera when you know what you are doing and also how to process the captures to extract maximum info out of them.
Congrats to the well executed pano, again!
