It'll reportedly come with an integrated electronic viewfinder-a key part of mirrorless lenses that may make discriminating photographers miss their optical viewfinders.
OLYMPUS CAMERA RETRO LOOK ISO
And with Canon, Nikon, and Pentax looking ill at ease in the ILC market so far, Olympus' ILC early-mover advantage looks worth something.Ĥ3 Rumors offered these unconfirmed features for the OM-D: a 16-megapixel sensor with top sensitivity of ISO 25,600, weatherproof body, in-body image stabilization, width of 121 millimeters (4.76 inches), and a weight of 425 grams (just less than a pound). In particular, Olympus may be finding it easier to introduce a higher-end category than the Pen family, now that Fujifilm, Sony, and Panasonic are pushing ILC designs well above $1,000. This general category, therefore, seems the likely destination for the OM-D. Olympus has shown a deft touch with the retro look since its first Micro Four Thirds model, the Pen E-P1, even if the cameras haven't been home runs. More promising of late has been the Micro Four Thirds revamp that packages the Four Thirds sensor inside an interchangeable lens camera (ILC) body that lacks an SLR's mirror. That may have been true, but it wasn't enough to make it competitive. Olympus touted its Four Thirds system as being designed for digital from the start. That sensor is significantly smaller than a frame of 35mm film and also than competing SLRs from the likes of Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Pentax.
OLYMPUS CAMERA RETRO LOOK SERIES
With the digital-SLR revolution, Olympus started over with a new brand, the E series line, that came with the Four Thirds sensor and corresponding lenses. In the film days, Olympus' OM line was one of the majors in the SLR (single-lens reflex) world-indeed, I learned photography with my first camera, an OM-10 I used for many years. And it more recently trademarked OM-D, the site said, adding a February 8 launch, a $1,100 price tag, and a March date for worldwide shipping. Olympus teased about an "OMG" camera in recent ads, emphasizing the O and M letters, 43 Rumors reported. Olympus looks set to debut a new compact, high-end camera model whose OM-D name capitalizes on the company's old camera brand.
