Thank you for using OM Digital Solutions products.

As announced on March 15, 2024, we have received orders for mirrorless single-lens cameras “PEN E-P7” and “OM-D E-M10Mark IV” that are significantly higher than planned. The situation continues to take time for delivery.

As it is expected that we will not be able to sufficiently supply products to our customers, we will temporarily suspend accepting orders from domestic retailers and our online store from April 17, 2024. For customers who have already placed their orders, we will deliver them to you as soon as they are ready.

We will consider the timing of product delivery and when we will resume accepting orders based on the future situation, and will notify you once it has been decided. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to our customers and everyone involved.

We will continue to work hard to deliver the product as soon as possible, so we appreciate your understanding.

DxO released the new Photolab 7.6 RAW editor (Click here).

I don’t know if you were aware of a curious trend: The Generation Z shows an increased interest in older digital cameras (read report at Mirrorlessrumors). They want to use cool looking and affordable digital cameras to share their images on socials. This lead to an increase in interest on some of the older MFT cameras. See those results from Google Trends:

• The E-P7 now shows more interest than ever! With Asian countries leading the trend
• The PEN-F shows a minor increase in interest (probably because it’s more expensive or because the hype has just started?)
• The Lumix GM1 had a sudden increase in interest. There must some hype going on on TikTok or Instagram?

What do you think about this trends?
