Many prospective buyers are worried that the majority of the updates could have simply been done with firmware. But is that true?
When OM Digital Solutions purchased, and thereby saved, Olympus’ incredible photographic history and slate of digital cameras from the brink of collapse in 2021, there were many questions about what would happen to the Olympus Micro Four Thirds system. OM answered these concerns the following year with the OM System OM-1 camera, theOM System has been quiet in the two years since the OM-1 hit the scene.
The existing Live ND mode, which lets the user do away with classic ND filters, has been improved. It can now mimic seven stops of ND filter usage for very long exposures. This is a software-based feature, but it may also rely on some of the hardware changes to the OM-1 Mark II to function, so we may not see it come to previous cameras.
The High Res Shooting mode now supports 14-bit RAW capture and you can see more detail and tonality in the improved files. The tracking autofocus performance on previous Olympus cameras has been so bad that I avoided it as a rule. The original OM-1 suffered the same issue, with the only saving grace being the highly effective subject-detection modes.
IBIS is ubiquitous on modern cameras but most effective on OM System models. OM System has found a way to improve the already excellent 7.5-stop IBIS in the OM-1 and raise that to 8.5 stops on the OM-1 II. This also requires a supporting lens with image stabilization, but the results are the most stable we’ve ever seen in a camera.The OM-1 II’s expanded memory also enables a much-appreciated doubling of the buffer capacity.
The last hardware change might seem at first to be largely cosmetic, but the new rubberized command dials are far easier to manipulate. I often find the old dials slipping under my finger or with a gloved hand unless I add extra pressure, but the new rubberized dials are grippy and turn with less effort. This is especially handy when wearing gloves and is an appreciated quality-of-life improvement.
