OM Digital Solutions introduces the OM SYSTEM OM-1
OM Digital Solutions debuted the new OM SYSTEM OM-1 mirrorless camera, featuring newly designed 20.4MP stacked BSI Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor that gives two stops of noise performance and an additional stop of dynamic range over previous sensors. The TruePic X processor is 3x faster than its predecessors and features a 120 fps readout rate for faster shooting performance, a sensitivity range from 200-102400 ISO (expandable to 80 ISO). The OM-1 will be priced at $2,199.99 USD; $2,799.99 CAD. An OM SYSTEM OM-1 Kit with M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II kit will be priced at $2,799.99 USD; $3,599.99 CAD. The camera will be available in March.
“PRO could not be more excited about the launch of the OM-1,” says Mike Mitchell, executive director of business development, PRO. “This is a feature-packed camera that is generating significant excitement from our dealer network. The OM-1 release is on track to be one of the hottest releases we have seen in some time! It will be exciting to see the content image-makers can create in even the most challenging environments with this incredibly robust tool.”
The OM-1 features continuous shooting to up to 10 fps with full-time AF/AE and a 169-frame raw buffer when using the mechanical shutter. With the electronic shutter, photographers get 20 fps shooting with full AF/AE and a 108-frame raw buffer. In SH1 and SH2 blackout-free shooting modes, the camera offers 120 fps without AF/AE and 50 fps with AF/AE. A Pro Capture mode begins image capture before you release the shutter and records at 120 fps with fixed focus or 50 fps with continuous.
In-body five-axis image stabilization compensates for up to seven stops of camera shake allowing for long shutter speed handheld shooting. Eight stops of compensation is available with select IS-equipped Micro Four Thirds lense
