DCW: Retro cameras are expensive, but the Olympus E-M10 IV is a budget gem that’s lighter than some compacts
Retro cameras are trendy and usually expensive (i.e. Fuji X100VI, OM-3, Nikon Zf). DigitalCameraWorld argues in favour of the E-M10 IV as a valid and much cheaper alternative.
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is a Micro Four Thirds camera that sports a retro look and an affordable price, making it the budget pick in our guide to the best retro cameras. Despite being a mirrorless camera and not a point-and-shoot, the camera is still fairly compact, depending on which lens photographers pair it with.
a bit of everything…

Techradar: OM-1 is still the best the best wildlife photography camera in 2025
Techradar voted the OM-1 the best camera for wildlife photography in 2025:
OM System is the only brand to officially mark the weather-proofing rating of its cameras, in this case it’s a rugged IP53-rating. You’ll really see the benefit of the MFT system when you add a super telephoto lens on the OM-1: most MFT lenses are so much smaller than full-frame equivalents.

OM Interview by Imaging Resource: We still haven’t decided how to continue the PEN lineup
Imaging Resource had a chat with two OM managers. This time OM digital claims the OM-3 is NOT a PEN-F successor:
First of all, the OM-3 is not a successor to the PEN-F. From customer feedback, we understand that the PEN-F is appreciated for various reasons, including its rangefinder style, craftsmanship-inspired exterior, and the profile control features. Rather than simply replicating the PEN-F, we need to carefully consider what makes it so beloved as we explore new ways to deliver an enjoyable photographic experience.
About the PEN lineup future:
For the PEN, we are considering what our new PEN should be as an OM SYSTEM brand, not the Olympus brand. We’re still thinking about what concept would be best for a new PEN. Then, after deciding on the PEN concept, we’ll determine if the exterior design will be similar to the PEN-F or similar to the E-P7 and so on. Currently, we haven’t decided yet because we’re still considering the overall concept. However, the PEN series is very important for us, so we are indeed thinking about a successor model for the PEN series.
Definitely do not expect to get a new PEN camera wihtin the next 2 years :(
