Can we say the OM-1 ii is the first OM System camera?

All the other releases seemed very much Olympus developed products. Really, they put a new processor, improved the AF to extend to humans, and added photo ND features. All of those look good, but maybe this camera should have been the OM-1. I'm still not 100% convinced, more like 50%.

I'm definitely not convinced (to upgrade as an OM-1 owner) - I think it's too expensive at the launch price of £2200 in the UK, especially now the £1700 G9 ii is around.

And as for that very large & heavy (for micro43) 150-600mm lens that's only F5 max aperture and costs £2500...what are they thinking - have they forgotten what micro43 is supposed to be about?

Exactly! It's just lazy. I guess it's better to have a lens than to not have a lens, but this lens doesn't inspire, regardless the results. The L-mount version of the lens is $1500 and the difference between a high MP L-mount camera and the OM-1 will be insignificant mounted with that lens... probably better with the L-mount anything.

I think is just not lazyness - looks like OM Digital could not have the funds to develop new lenses. And maybe cameras. The future does not look bright there.
