The new Olympus is called OM Systems OM-5

Who still remembers Olympus? The brand no longer exists as such, but fortunately the cameras do. It has a new name: OM Digital Solutions, and the first camera under the OM System name has been released. This is the OM-5.

The OM System OM-5 is a compact camera with an M43 sensor containing 20.4 megapixels. The camera is somewhat aimed at, but not limited to, travel photographers who want a sturdy camera that can take a knock.

The OM-5 is dust- and splashproof, ice-resistant (IP53 rating) and can operate without problems down to -10 degrees Celsius.

It has the Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF) to minimise the risk of dust on the sensor when changing lenses. Very useful for a camera designed for robust use.

The built-in five-axis stabilisation system achieves an impressive 7.5 EV when used with lenses that also have built-in stabilisation.

Like all (formerly) Olympus cameras, the camera is packed with useful features that you won't find in any other camera brand. To name a few, Starry Sky AF, Live Neutral Density up to 4 stops, live Bulb and Live composition.

Other features you can find in the camera include a high-resolution mode that produces an image of up to 50 megapixels, in-camera focus stacking, pro-capture, interval, HDR and various art filters.

For the videographers among us, recordings can be made in 4K 30p in standard or Cinema 4K, without any recording time limit and with full AF use.

Vertical recording is possible, with the videos actually recorded vertically rather than having to be rotated later.

The camera will be available this month for 1,299 euros. It is available in black or silver.
