Olympus Russia debunks the rumor saying they might stop the camera business

Via Facebook Olympus Russia did debunk ther very speculative rumor posted by Biz-journal.jp saying Olympus to stop their unprofitable camera business.

Friends, more recently, several Russian-speaking resources, citing foreign sources, came up with loud headlines that supposedly, Olympus is closing the photo business. For our part, we want to say that this information is not true. Currently, Olympus is undergoing a comprehensive transformation program to continue its development as a global medical company. The photo business plays an important role as a technology driver for all Olympus business lines, developing advanced digital and network technologies that are also used in our medical and industrial business. We will continue to improve the technology in photography, paying particular attention to our main advantages: compactness of the system, exceptional image stabilization capabilities and high-quality lenses.

The coolest E-M1X Instagram pictures roundup!

View this post on Instagram

The Olympus OM-D E-M1X is a fairly hefty camera but it is worth remembering that lenses also play a large role in the portability of a system. For example, inside our Peak Design 30L Everyday backpack, we were able to fit the new camera along with the 12-100mm f/4, 300mm f/4, 40-150mm f/2.8, 12-40mm f/2.8 and the E-M1 mark II with the battery grip attached. Pretty good, don't you think? ?? How many Micro Four Thirds lenses can you fit inside your camera bag? . . . . . #camera #cameras #cameragear #photogear #olympus #olympusomd #olympusuk #olympusinspired #olympuscamera #olympusphotography #olympuskameras #getolympus #olympus_ru #microfourthirds #microfournerds #mirrorless #mirrorlesscamera #mirrorlessgeeks #mirrorlessrevolution #omdem1 #olympusem1 #olympusomdem1 #em1markii #omdem1x #em1x #olympusem1x #olympusomdem1x #mzuiko #mirrorlessons

We’re happy to report that the Olympus OM-D E-M1X, with its updated continuous autofocus system, delivers similar results to its mirrorless pals, the Fujifilm X-T3 and Sony A7 III, when used for birds in flight. Out of the hundreds of images we took at our local red kite sanctuary, approximately 74% were keepers, or 91% if we include the ever-so–slightly soft images. We found that the best AF settings for this genre are 25 Group Target and C-AF Sensitivity +2. You can see a few sample images by swiping to the right! ? Which camera would you pick for birds in flight? ? . . . . . #camera #cameras #cameragear #olympusomd #olympusinspired #olympuscamera #olympusphotography #olympuskameras #microfourthirds #mirrorless #mirrorlesscamera #mirrorlessgeeks #mirrorlessrevolution #omdem1x #em1x #olympusem1x #olympusomdem1x #sonya7iii #sonyalphaclub #sonyalphagang #sonyalphauniverse #sonycamera #fujixt3 #fujifilmcamera #fujifilmxseries #fujifilm_x #fujixseries #fujifilmx #sonyshooter

Good things always come in threes, right? Well, that’s certainly the case with these Olympus OM-D siblings! Sitting above the OM-D E-M1 mark II and the original OM-D E-M1, we have the new OM-D E-M1X whose advanced array of features target photographers in search of a reliable all-rounder for sports, wildlife, still life, long exposures and more. ? Having used the new camera for just over a week now, we’ve had the time to put together a comparison between the E-M1X and the E-M1 mark II.
