The camera body with the code “IM027” has been registered in Asia by OM Digital Solutions. The registration says it is equipped with Wi-Fi (2.4GHz / 5GHz) and Bluetooth.

OM Digital has talked big things about a surprise model that is likely to hit the market in early 2022. All we know so far is that this is obviously a MFT model and that it will have the size of the classic E-M1 body. I don’t know if the registered IM027 code is for this camera. But I hope OM Digital will share some details in autumn to get us really excited about this new thing…

Just reported bz Nokishita. Those lenses are likely to be announced in mid September along the R3

OM Digital has to do a lot to gain some trust from the customers. And they have some plans:

Plan 1: OM Digital will slowly fade out the Olympus name. And there will be rebranding from OM-D E-M to OM 1D, OM 5D, OM 10D etc.

Plan 2: there will be 40-150 f/4 next year, a new 20mm f/1.4,

Plan 3: Olympus to make camera phones with Samsung! (article here).

Plan 4: Launch a WOW camera with classic E-m1 size. Maybe with the new Sony 45MP micro 4/3 with Quad Pixel AF??? (article here).

Summer will soon be over and the big autumn Canon-Sony fighting is about to start. First we will get the full new EOS-R3 unveiling around mid September. And in October Sony will launch their A7IV beast which is rumored to have the following specs:

• Newly developed 33MP sensor
• 5.5 stops of IBIS (+ AS)

Also Nikon will unveil the Z9 but I don’t know if they will make a meaningful impact with this camera…
