Rod Lawton: “I think I just bought my last OM System camera”
Rod Lawton wrote an article on Digitalcameraworld where he explains why he just bought the Olympus E-P7. But he also adds that this might be his last OM camera he will ever buy:
The PEN series symbolized style, simplicity and portability. It was small enough to fit in a jacket pocket or handbag, and had a touch of elegance.
Under the OM system, the product range has been significantly reduced and focused on the outdoor and wildlife markets.
The other day, someone commented in a livestream chat, “I didn’t leave Olympus, but Olympus left me,” and I think that’s a perfect statement.
I do hope OM Digital will realize that the market is now favorable for the introduction of small compact digital cameras. A new E-P8 and PEN-FII might become real hotseller!
