In the camera business, Olympus’ philosophy has always been to focus on the personal mobility of their customers with products that feature a compact and lightweight design.

In 2019, the Olympus company not only celebrates its 100th company anniversary, but also the 10th birthday of their first digital camera model with a Micro Four Thirds sensor (Olympus PEN E-P1) – a format that still provides the best basis to offer the most compact and lightweight camera system with image quality that satisfies professional photographers.

To commemorate these special anniversaries, Olympus will release a special silver edition of their revolutionary OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera with a limitation of only 2,000 units worldwide. Olympus’ President Hiroyuki Sasa comments: “We are sincerely grateful to all customers and other stakeholders who have supported Olympus since its founding 100 years ago. Being true to Our Purpose of “Making people’s lives healthier, safer, and more fulfilling”, we shall continue to contribute to photographic culture and deliver the joy of capturing and expressing special moments to photography lovers worldwide.”

The OM-D E-M1 Mark II is a dependable camera that meets professional needs and is capable of shooting in various environments – delivering high-class image quality combined with high-speed performance in a compact but rugged body. While the original black body embraces functional beauty, the new silver body features a classic, quality camera look.

Please see original E-M1 Mark II press release and the Olympus website at www.olympus-europa.com for detailed functionalities.

1. Unrivaled compact and lightweight system design with dust-, splash- and freezeproof (-10°C) performance
2. Built-in 5-axis image stabilization with up to 6.5 shutter speed steps of compensation performance²
3. High-speed sequential shooting for capturing split-second moments, and 18 fps sequential shooting performance in AF/AE tracking
4. Excellent image quality through the interplay of a high-speed TruePic VIII image processor, a 20.4 Megapixel Live MOS sensor and Olympus’ acclaimed line-up of high-resolution M.Zuiko lenses

The OM-D E-M1 Mark II will go on sale with a limitation of only 2,000 units worldwide from late February 2019 at an RRP¹ of EUR 1.699.
