Of course we don’t have the full specs yet nor real hands-on on te new products. But based on the info we know…

One of my sources had a meeting with Om Digital. His idea is that the OM-1II had to be released as a new model because the trademark agreement to use the “Olympus” name is ending. Therefore OM Digital had to re brand the OM-1 camera and they took this chance to add some minor hardware updates (better buttons, larger buffer, improved IBIS).

P.S.: Sorry Rob Trek for posting this late…with all the rumor buzz I forgot to post it!

We now know that the OM-1II will be a slightly improved OM-1. And that the 150-600mm lens will be a MFT version of the original Sigma 150-600mm Full Frame lens. In this video I shared my thoughts. But in short:

Positive note:

• At least after one year we are getting something new
• We are getting three “new” products
• We are getting a new lens roadmap

Negative note:

• OM-1II improvements are very minor
• 150-600mm lens has unnecessary weight and size because of the original Full Frame design
• Putting an extra $700 price tag on a re-branded Sigma FF lens is disappointing

What do you think?
