OM System OM-1 release date, price, specs and features

The OM-1 is back – almost fifty years after the arrival of Olympus’ classic SLR, the OM-1 name has made a surprise return on the debut mirrorless camera from OM Digital Solutions.

It may have the OM-1 name, but the new Micro Four Thirds camera is really a sequel to the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III from early 2020. This means it lacks the vintage styling of its trailblazing predecessor, but the new OM-1 does bring plenty of its own innovations.

Wait, aren’t Olympus cameras dead?

Yes, or so we thought. In June 2020, the company sold its imaging division to an investment fund. That fund started a new company, OM Digital Solutions, which created a new ‘OM System’ sub-brand for all of its new cameras and lenses. That was the end of Olympus cameras – until today. Because the original Olympus OM-1 SLR, launched back in 1972, is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, the new owners have been able to use the Olympus brand on one last camera. This explains why the new OM-1 has both the Olympus and OM System names on its body. But this is definitely the last ever Olympus-branded camera (we think).
