Olympus OM enthusiasts' digital prayers have been answered ...

As the most eagerly awaited Micro Four Thirds announcement yet draws closer, 43rumors.com has unretouched images of the new Olympus OM-D model equipped with a battery grip. It is a very good looking camera, drawing on featured of the original Olympus OM 35mm SLRs plus the E Series DSLRs. It is mirrorless but has a 1.4 million dot EVF in the "pentaprism housing". The camera is confusingly named the Olympus E-M5 but the front of the top plate is clearly marked OM-D. It looks like OM-D describes the OM Digital range, and the model number within that range is E-M5. Official announcement is on Wednesday February 8. http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-first-fu...s-of-the-e-m5/ Lets get this right. Oly made a behind the times E3 that nearly put paid to their plans for a DSLR. Then they put out another monster wearing the "E" badge that was so far behind in technology, it had no chance of ever selling in any numbers. Calling it "Pro" and showing it soaking in water didn't do anything for sales either. Digital noise worse than a s3 Fuji didn't seem to bother the few who remained loyal to the brand. I suppose using that methodology, Stuffing an OM looking body full of all those Pro parts that never sold makes perfectly good sense. Imitating the old half frame pen worked (almost) why not falling back of their old flagship? Maybe they might even have a fix for the almost constant back focus errors the OMs used to develop. Now that would be a step forward except for being 20 years too late. Coming out with another obsolete camera just as mirrorless digital reaches and almost exceeds Pro level needs. Yep! Go to it Oly. I just can't wait for the belly laughs from all those loyal Olympus followers blind to the stupidity of this rumour. Not even Olympus could be this stupid, could they? Where do these people get their ideas from? 1980 Popular Science magazines? |

What I find interesting is that the vast majority of Nikon lenses struggle to match the resolving power of existing sensors. Oly knows a few things about lens design that others have forgotten. During an almost global recession, we can expect to see some fishes out of water. |
