Many are calling for OM Digital to release a new PEN-F successor. But in many interviews OM Digital has made it clear that it has no plans yet to develop such a model. In past years we have seen OM Digital often release lukewarm products that represent minor improvements over the predecessor. OM Digital is a small company with few resources, and it seems to me that it is afraid to take risks that could jeopardize its entire business model.
But history has shown many times that to grow you need innovation and bold risks. Otherwise you only delay your own inevitable death. Small companies like Blackmagic and lately even Pentax (with its beautiful and popular Pentax 17 film camera) have found an unexpected path to growth and popularity.
I am therefore officially asking OM Digital to launch a Kickstarter project for the PEN-FII. Make your case to the public, ask them to fund this journey. Let’s see if there is a real demand for this model. But please include all the best technologies you can:
Make it a camera that is easy to use for content creators AND photographers. What do you think about this idea?
