Russian website believes the new OM “wow” camera will be priced above $2000 when it gets announced at the CP+ show

Share

I reported multiple times that it’s very likely OM Digital will announce the new OM “wow” camera at the CP+ show in late February. Photowebexpo writes:

The new flagship, dubbed the “WOW! Camera” by top managers of OM Digital Solutions, will be the first under the OM System brand, and will also receive a new naming structure.
According to our sources, the price of the camera will be “more than $2,000”, and in Russia it will be about 200,000 rubles, which is unlikely to please fans of the system…

 

Reminder: Here are the images from the OM wow camera:

OM Digital and Panasonic’s statements about the global chip shortage

Share

Amateur Photographer asked company managers what’s their situation regarding the worldwide chip shortage:

OM digital said:

‘We are facing some limited product shortages which are not unique to us – for various reasons (high demand on key lines, Covid, assorted supply chain glitches) but we do not foresee any delays in our launch plan for new products based on current info.’

Panasonic said:

‘The imaging industry is currently facing a number of global challenges that are affecting all camera manufacturers and Panasonic is not immune to these. We continue to do our best to meet the demands of our customers and we are excited to show our latest updates in Spring 2022.’

Sigma said:

‘Since last year, the supply of not only semiconductors but also materials and components has been tightened due to the shutdown of factories and disruption of logistics caused by the COVID-19 lockdown in cities around the world, which is a problem common to all industries, not just cameras and interchangeable lenses. As for Sigma, despite the problems mentioned above, close cooperation with suppliers and our own efforts have resulted in no major impact on production and we have been operating smoothly so far. However, the outlook for the supply of materials and parts has become increasingly uncertain since the beginning of 2022, and there is a possibility that our production will be affected in the future. Sigma will do its utmost to fulfil its supply responsibilities in order to avoid causing inconvenience to our customers.’
