Olympus sold off its camera division to a Japanese company, and it relaunched as its own brand. Now the first new camera is here.
And Atomos gives it some ProRes RAW love!
The original Olympus Corporation has been around for more than 100 years. It has made a ton of stuff, from medical equipment to scientific instruments and consumer cameras.
Starting in the 1930s, Olympus introduced its first camera, but in the modern camera world, it has struggled to match the competition from Canon and Sony.
Then in late 2021, Olympus sold off its camera imaging division to Japan Industrial Partners and it relaunched as OM Digital Solutions, branded as OM System.
Now, OM Digital Solutions has revealed its first new camera. The micro four-thirds Olympus OM-1 takes on the namesake of the original SLR camera, a nod to the legacy it must now uphold. As the last camera bearing the Olympus name, it marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.
But that’s not the only news. Atomos has also announced that the NINJA V and NINJA V+ will support recording of Apple ProRes RAW for the new system.
