Remember that format called Micro Four Thirds? Ok, we’re teasing, but in an era of cheap full frame cameras, powerful APS-C options, and even cut-price Medium Format, Micro Four Thirds (M43) has felt like the lost child of the camera world for the last few years.
It hasn’t helped that Olympus has been caught up in a very public sale and rebrand (it’s now known as OM System), while Panasonic has spent the last few years pushing its full frame L-Mount offerings instead.
It all means that for M43 shooters, it’s been a quiet few years. But we’re glad to say that the OM System OM-1, the first new Olympus flagship since the OM-D E-M1X back in 2019, is officially here and, best of all, it’s rather great.

Released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original OM film SLR, the OM-1 certainly doesn’t deviate greatly from previous Olympus models and it even still carries the 'Olympus'
