OM Digital Systems has released its long awaited digital camera-dubbed the "Wow" camera on the Internet-but properly known as the OM-1, in honour of the classic camera designed by Maitani Yoshihisa 50 years ago, and recognizing the start of a new generation of compact, portable, cameras under their stewardship.
Listen to me ramble, and effectively argue with myself for nearly ten minutes as I try to decide what I think of the camera and the future of µ43 under OM Systems-and whether I plan to get the new OM-1 camera.
15 months ago, I posted my first video explaining why I bought back into the MFT system, and have since invested in new glass, including several Olympus Pro lenses including the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 F/2.8 Pro and the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25X IS PRO, among others.
With improved autofocus, supported by the new generation TruePic X processor; the improved back-illuminated (BSI) sensor, and resulting dynamic range improvements; and improved video features: is it worth dropping $2,200 on the body?
Spoiler: no. I still think the OM-D E-M1X is the stand-out value in the Micro Four Thirds line-up, albeit this is coming from the view of someone who isn't making a living from the system-where a $2,000 USD investment in marginally better dynamic range may pay dividends.
