A photography competition celebrating microscopic images has unveiled this year’s winners. A startling cross-section shot of a flower was awarded the fifth annual Evident Image of the Year Award, leading a mesmerizing gallery of miniature marvels.

Back in 2022, OM Digital Systems celebrated the 50th birthday of the Olympus OM-1 film camera with a digital four-thirds model. Now the OM System flagship has moved to its second generation, though despite key updates much remains the same.

Olympus spin-out OM Digital Solutions celebrated 50 years of the OM-1 film with a new micro-four-thirds flagship in February, and has now launched what appears to be an update to 2019's OM-D E-M5 MkIII.

After splitting from Olympus last year to focus on imaging, OM Digital Solutions has decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Olympus OM-1 film camera with a new OM System flagship, the OM-1 micro-four-thirds camera.

Earlier in the year, Olympus sold its imaging division to Japan Industrial Partners which was spun out to a new company, and its first product – the PEN E-P7 MFT camera – goes on sale in Europe later this month, but it won't be available in the US.

Olympus has announced the fourth generation of its entry-level OM-D E-M10 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, which will come supplied with a camera bag, extra battery and SD card for a limited time.

When the OM-D E-M1 launched in 2013, we pondered whether it was a true DSLR killer. Olympus continued its assault in 2016 with the second generation E-M1. Now the company has loaded a cheaper, smaller camera with much of what made the E-M1 shine.

Olympus has announced the successor to its PEN E-PL8 micro four thirds camera. The retro-modern E-PL9 has been treated to a flagship image processor, a video recording boost and improved autofocus. And it's said to be lighter than a 500 ml bottle of water, including the Zuiko kit lens.

The new M.Zuiko digital ED 25-mm F1.2 pro and 12-100-mm F4.0 IS pro are the latest examples of Olympus’s efforts to offer lenses that provide greater image stability, enhanced resolution, and more creativity for both professional and advanced amateur photographers.

We thought the Olympus PEN-F looked good in the promo shots, but it turns out it looks even better in person. We recently got the chance to spend a bit of time with the new camera at the Photography Show 2016, to see whether its performance can match up to its looks.

The Olympus Air A01 is an add-on camera for smartphones or tablets which features a 16-megapixel sensor and lets users mount Micro Four Thirds lenses. Previously only available in Japan, the Air A01 is now set for a wider release.

Olympus has announced the VP-10 pocket recorder, which features Anti Rustle technology to help negate the sounds of the device brushing against clothing.
