Chronology
Predecessor Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III
Olympus OM-D E-M1X
Successor OM System OM-1 Mark II

The OM System OM-1 is the flagship mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced by OM Digital Solutions on the micro four-thirds system. [1] It is the first high-end digital camera made by OM Digital Solutions after its acquisition of the imaging divisions of the camera manufacturer Olympus.

The OM-1 was announced on February 15, 2022, [2] and began shipping to customers the following month. Despite no longer being a product of Olympus, the OM-1 still bears the Olympus wordmark on the front of its electronic viewfinder, tying the camera to Olympus' flagship E-M1 cameras. The camera's name is the same as the Olympus OM-1 film SLR camera, and was released to coincide with that camera's 50th anniversary. [3]

The OM System OM-1 Mark II is an incremental upgrade released in late February 2024. Compared to the original model it has double the buffer memory, improvements to autofocus and image stabilization and neutral density filter functionality.
