OM Digital promised to launch a new camera with “WOW” factor in early 2022. And one of the big news should be the new sensor. A source told me:

new flagship camera (OM 1D) will be announced in early 2022 but it will be teased in autumn this year already;
– the camera will have global shutter;

What we know so far about the OM Digital WOW camera:

  • It’s a Micro Four Third camera
  • To be teased in fall 2021 with launch in early 2022
  • It might have a new global shutter sensor
  • It has the size of a E-M1III body and it’s not an E-M1X alike camera.

OM Digital should announce the new naming structure and first “wow” camera teases this autumn

OM Digital is preparing the new product launch season for this autumn. The past weeks I have been told we can expect three things to happen:

  1. New lenses (note: this happened indeed last week!)
  2. Announcement of the new naming structure (there will be rebranding from OM-D E-M to OM 1D, OM 5D, OM 10D etc.)
  3. Teaser for the new “wow” camera launch in early 2022.

I am still not sure if that Samsung-Olympus smartphone partnership will happen…
