The E-M1X is only available as used item at BHphoto and Amazon.
According to one source OM Digital has no plant whatsoever to launch a new E-M1X successor.
That’s in contrast to what Mr. Yoshiyuki Nada said a year ago in an interview. There he stated the E-M1X successor is “under consideration”.
My feeling is that indeed we will not get a new OM-1X camera. But I still have some hope for a new PEN-FII !
On July 12 Panasonic officially registered a new camera model in China. The camera code is “P2403A” and it supports dual-band WiFi + Bluetooth. What this registration means:
My guess is that this is NOT a MFT camera but either a S1H successor or a S1R successor. Don’t think Panasonic plans to announce any new MFT camera in late 2024 :(

Many are calling for OM Digital to release a new PEN-F successor. But in many interviews OM Digital has made it clear that it has no plans yet to develop such a model. In past years we have seen OM Digital often release lukewarm products that represent minor improvements over the predecessor. OM Digital is a small company with few resources, and it seems to me that it is afraid to take risks that could jeopardize its entire business model.
But history has shown many times that to grow you need innovation and bold risks. Otherwise you only delay your own inevitable death. Small companies like Blackmagic and lately even Pentax (with its beautiful and popular Pentax 17 film camera) have found an unexpected path to growth and popularity.
I am therefore officially asking OM Digital to launch a Kickstarter project for the PEN-FII. Make your case to the public, ask them to fund this journey. Let’s see if there is a real demand for this model. But please include all the best technologies you can:
Make it a camera that is easy to use for content creators AND photographers. What do you think about this idea?

Will the 20mm PRO get new company?
I got this very wild rumor. I think there is a low chance this might be true…but I surely HOPE to be wrong this time! The messenger wrote:
3 primes in development, all PRO branded. F/1.4s
Focus for OMDS going forward will be more on lenses and less on bodies
