First Impressions of OM SYSTEM’s OM-1 Camera (Olympus)


It’s been a tumultuous couple of years for Olympus and many of its fans have worried about the future of the camera brand. Finally, a new body has been released and photographers are getting a chance to test it out.

A few years ago, I tested a new Olympus camera in Costa Rica and was absolutely impressed. Then a few months later came a surprising announcement that Olympus had sold their camera division. I wrote a subtextual article directed at the buyer, Industrial Partners Japan, with the vague hope that they would not disintegrate the part for its parts.

News has since been muted or vaguely positive, and now we’re given a new camera to review: the Olympus OM-1. Yes, I say Olympus because that’s what’s on the body, but in fact, it’s now called OM SYSTEM OM-1. For full camera details, I recommend you check out Ivor Rackham’s article from when the NDA was first lifted.

I’ve always been relatively uninterested in Micro Four Thirds sensors, but have experienced using it for the first time with an open mind. My feelings two years later are still the same as when I returned from that press tour: impression. The main lesson for me is that the technology inside the Olympus cameras that I maintain is second to none.

In this video, Gavin Hoey practices the new OM-1 and gives his thoughts.
