Olympus Europe manager Albert Marti confirms focus is now on “high end MFT cameras”

Photolari had a chat with Olympus Europe manager Albert Marti. Here are some key takeaways:

  • OM Digital will still use the “Olympus” name
  • He confirms to Photolari the commitment to the medium and high range. It is not clear if that means forgetting about the Pen range – focused on simpler models, except the Pen-F – and raising the bar in the field of video, as has been hinted at on occasion.
  • The purchase includes the Olympus factories as well as its repair centers, including the technical service in Coimbra (Portugal) that deals with a large part of the products in Europe.

Camera Conspiracies:

Can the Panasonic GH6 compete in today’s world with it’s tiny micro four loser thirds sensor?

Will they foolishly stick with contrast detect autofocus signalling the end of their company? Do we even need higher specs than what the Canon and Sony are now providing in full frame? 8k is a waste of time, will they do 4k 180fps? Who’s computers can even handle that? Let’s talk about whether or not there is hope for the GH6, G10 and GH6s.
