Olympus Malaysia accidentally published an image that they should not have detailing an upcoming Olympus m43 mount camera body. The image was up for a few hours and then taken down.

The older OM-1 film camera reminds me more of the current OM-D E-M10 series of camera bodies. This line hasn't been updated since August 4, 2020, so it's due for a new version.

This seemed to coincide with a letter that CEO Shigemi Sugimoto wrote on om-digitalsolutions.com, where he indicated that OM System is going to be releasing a new camera and 2 new lenses.

A Happy New Year.

As we enter our fifth year of business, we are celebrating our achievements over the past four years since OM Digital Solutions Corporation split from Olympus Corporation. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of our customers, stakeholders, suppliers and employees for their continued patronage and support.

2021 was shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic as it changed lives and economies across the globe; creating concern and worry about starting a new company. Whilst transforming into a compact and highly mobile organization, with revamped processes to deliver a profitable business; we also launched our new brand OM SYSTEM. The result has been increases in consolidated revenue and profit for the past three fiscal periods, a trend we expect to continue for the current fiscal period concluding in March.

With an expansion into solution and services, our success has not been limited to the camera and audio markets. Built upon a solid foundation of imaging and optical technology production, we now provide solutions to industrial and academic fields; along with services in high-quality electronics manufacturing; both of which have led to stable profitable growth.

The vision of OM SYSTEM brand for camera and audio equipment is to provide enriching sound and imaging experiences that contribute to the experience of life outdoors for everyone across the world. As we look to the future of the camera business; we will provide more options for compact, lightweight, splash & dust-proof products to expand photographic horizons for our customers. With features like computational photography, our dust reduction system and powerful image stabilization, which have been highly regarded by professional photographers, will be available to both existing and new customers. ‘It’s in our nature.’ is the heartbeat of OM SYSTEM. We create cameras to facilitate a life of curiosity and joyful discovery, enabling you to explore nature’s beauty and, perhaps, uncover forgotten parts of your own being.

Shortly, we plan to add a new camera to our lineup and bright, compact single-focal-length lenses with splash & dust-proof performance. All created to meet the challenges of harsh outdoor environments to ensure that you enjoy not only landscape photography in the great outdoors, but also authentic photos of life every day. Additionally, we are continuing to work hard to bring to market the long-awaited mid-range telephoto zoom lens on our lens roadmap by the end of this year.

We look forward to delighting our customers again with these products and encourage you connect with us on social media or sign-up for our newsletters to keep up to date with these announcements.

Bringing joy, inspiration and excitement through our products drives each and every one of us, and we hope your year ahead will be filled with adventure.

I've always liked Olympus. My first camera ever was an Olympus, so it will be interesting to see what they come out with.

  1. Looks like an OM 3 with a stacked sensor. Would make an interesting development for budget conscious wildlife photographers. Combined with their 150-600.
    For wildlife photographers, the OM-1 (mark i or II) would be the better choice in terms of ergonomics. This camera is for those that want the latest tech in a retro look and feel for general, vacation and street shooting, in my opinion. The OM-1 mark II is currently $400 off, so the same price, at least here in the US. That camera is my personal favorite for wildlife.
