OM interview at DCW: E-M10 series will continue and new PEN models also likely to come

Share

Digitalcameraworld had a chat with several OM System executives. Here are the key takeaways:

  1. Doesn’t seem likely OM will make a premium fixed lens camera with large sensor
  2. OM Digital will continue to develop the E-M10 series
  3. Om Digital is “actively exploring the possibility of a PEN model”

OM manager Shirota says that OM System is focusing on five key technologies: compact design, powerful stabilization, all-weather environmental performance, computational photography, and a lineup of one-of-a-kind lenses.

OM manager confirms once more that a PEN-F successor is “under consideration”

Share

ThePhoBlographer reports about this conversation with OM manager Eiji Shirota:

“Yeah, after we launched OM-3, we got a lot of feedback about the Pen-F,” Said Eiji Shirota of OM System — further clarifying that this isn’t the Pen-F successor that people have been asking about. “We have the need from the market regarding the range finder style (camera) with viewfinder…it’s great feedback for us. And now we are considering what new PEN series model we can offer as OM SYSTEM. Yeah, of course, we cannot say more…but of course, we are thinking.”

DigitalCamerWorld OM-3 review: “The perfect camera… for me”

Share

OM-3 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, OM store USA.

DigitalCameraWorld reviewed the OM-3 and writes and the camera is praised as a stunning heir to both the PEN‑F-inspired design and the flagship tech of the OM‑1 Mark II:

Strengths:
– High-end computational photography with creative flexibility
– Pocketable power ideal for travel, street, and everyday shooting ()
– Gorgeous metal build, vintage styling, and ergonomic refinement ()

Drawbacks:
– No joystick and only a single SD card slot
– Slightly less stabilization and lower EVF resolution than OM‑1 Mark II

In conclusion, the OM‑3 blends classic OM aesthetics with cutting‑edge features—appealing to enthusiasts who prize both beauty and technical excellence in a micro four‑thirds body.
