Quick thoughts on the OM Digital release…a missed opportunity or a glimpse of hope?

We now know that the OM-1II will be a slightly improved OM-1. And that the 150-600mm lens will be a MFT version of the original Sigma 150-600mm Full Frame lens. In this video I shared my thoughts. But in short:

Positive note:

• At least after one year we are getting something new
• We are getting three “new” products
• We are getting a new lens roadmap

Negative note:

• OM-1II improvements are very minor
• 150-600mm lens has unnecessary weight and size because of the original Full Frame design
• Putting an extra $700 price tag on a re-branded Sigma FF lens is disappointing

What do you think?
