Olympus

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.

​Back in 2016, Olympus launched a formidable mirrorless assault on DSLR cameras when it revealed the OM-D EM1 MkII Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens camera. Now the company has announced a new flavor aimed at professional photographers – the OM-D E-M1X – that's all about speed.​

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.

When it launched the mirrorless O-MD E-M1 in 2013, we asked if Olympus had killed the DSLR. Now, the call to go mirrorless has grown louder again with the launch of the OM-D E-M1 MkII. ​

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.

The Stylus Tough TG-Tracker actioncam marries an ultra-wide angle lens with 4K video recording capabilities, is able to measure temperature and altitude, and can keep tabs on a user's location. With the help of a companion mobile app, it can also provide a detailed overview of outdoor adventures.

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 PEN-F is the latest retro-inspired mirrorless camera from Olympus. While the camera looks like it’s come straight from the 1960s, it boasts features including a high resolution electronic viewfinder and 5-axis image stabilization.

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 II is a mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera which packs an impressive photographic punch in a diminutive retro-styled body. The 16-megapixel camera features 5-axis image stabilization, a large OLED electronic viewfinder, and can shoot at 8.5 fps.

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.

The Stylus Tough TG-4 is a RAW-shooting rugged compact camera from Olympus. The new camera is waterproof to 15 m (50ft), shockproof for drops from up to 2.1 m (7 ft), crushproof to 100 kgf (220 lbf) and freezeproof to -10°C (14°F).
