OM Digital registered a new cameras: Likely to be this new “wow” camera that hopefully isn’t overhyped :)

The camera body with the code “IM027” has been registered in Asia by OM Digital Solutions. The registration says it is equipped with Wi-Fi (2.4GHz / 5GHz) and Bluetooth.

OM Digital has talked big things about a surprise model that is likely to hit the market in early 2022. All we know so far is that this is obviously a MFT model and that it will have the size of the classic E-M1 body. I don’t know if the registered IM027 code is for this camera. But I hope OM Digital will share some details in autumn to get us really excited about this new thing…

Plan 2: there will be 40-150 f/4 next year, a new 20mm f/1.4,

Plan 3: Olympus to make camera phones with Samsung! (article here).

Plan 4: Launch a WOW camera with classic E-m1 size. Maybe with the new Sony 45MP micro 4/3 with Quad Pixel AF??? (article here).

Summer will soon be over and the big autumn Canon-Sony fighting is about to start. First we will get the full new EOS-R3 unveiling around mid September. And in October Sony will launch their A7IV beast which is rumored to have the following specs:

  • Newly developed 33MP sensor
  • 5.5 stops of IBIS (+ AS)

Also Nikon will unveil the Z9 but I don’t know if they will make a meaningful impact with this camera…
