What happens next: 2020 camera and lens release will definitely continue. After that new products will be branded as “OMD” and “ZUIKO”
A couple of additional info on the big news:
- Outside of the Tokyo headquarters nobody knew about the sale. Olympus Europe and North America only learned this from the press release
- The 2020 product launch roadmap is still valid and at least one new camera and one new lens will be announced soon
- Starting from 2021 new products will not have the “Olympus” name in it. Cameras will be branded purely as “OMD” or “PEN” and lenses as “ZUIKO”
