OM System’s CEO has announced that the company is working on a new camera and lenses. In a post titled “New Year Greeting and Prospects for 2025” that went up on Monday morning, Shigemi Sugimoto wrote: “Shortly, we plan to add a new camera to our lineup and bright, compact single-focal-length lenses with splash & dust-proof performance.”

The post says the upcoming gear will be built to “meet the challenges of harsh outdoor environments,” in keeping with the company’s focus on outdoor landscape photography. However, Sugimoto also says it’ll be useful for “authentic photos of life every day” as well. There aren’t any further details about the upcoming camera and lenses, though Sugimoto reiterates the company’s focus on computational photography features and says that it will “provide more options for compact, lightweight, splash & dust-proof products to expand photographic horizons.”

The post also says the company is continuing to work on the “long-awaited mid-range telephoto zoom lens” that’s been on its lens roadmap for a while now. The roadmap seems to indicate that it’ll be something like a 40-150mm, though, again, the company hasn’t released any concrete details. Sugimoto’s post implies that the company is working to bring it to the market by “the end of this year.”

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
