I would love it if they did because I want as cheap a camera as I can find to adapt my two 43s DSLR lenses and they really need a PDAF camera (mine have issues so may not work at all or only partly so currently the lead candidate is a used EM1 mark 1). History tells me they will not put it in any camera as it stands and might be a small part of what has killed them, to do so now would be too little too late and a bit of a WTF moment. Fuji have PDAF in their entire lineup (XT-4 to X-A7), yes, Olympus is wrong. noone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brand Olympus will stay with Olympus for the (now) core business of medical equipment. Olympus imaging brands such as OM-D, Zuiko and Pen will soon appear on smartphones, selfie sticks and the like, ending up like Polaroid and Rollei did before. Olympus' camera technology is now history, like Yashica/Contax in the past. Nope. It looks like you called it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, with a company like JIP, we will get to see an Olympus vlogging camera but it will just be their name on an Aliexpress £40 special like this. When I was a kid starting out as a photographer, Olympus was a big enough brand to be running a long running series of TV ads featuring Bailey so its sad to see it all ending with it going full circle and before long people will be saying "Olympus, who were they?" Nope. Not yet. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Looks like we're getting a new flagship in 2022, which is cool. PannySVHS and noone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was to expected after the sell-off: https://www.43rumors.com/what-happens-next-2020-camera-and-lens-release-will-definitely-contonue-after-that-new-products-will-be-branded-as-omd-and-zuiko/ Well, in 2022, it looks like "Olympus" will still be on the camera.

The future cameras and lenses won't even be called Olympus because JIP didn't acquire the right for that name, but only "Pen" and "OM-D" without any other brand name. I bet almost any price that they will slap these brands on rather generic Chinese cameras and lenses like the Xiaomi MFT camera and lenses. Wrong again.
