This is OM-1 in the 21st century. It is sold in March and the direct sales price is 272,800 yen (tax included)

　The digital imaging division has been separated from Olympus, and it has been a year since I became a new company called OM Digital Solutions. Finally, the new company's first flagship model was announced. The "OM System OM-1" is said to be the last camera with the OLYMPUS logo. The position is the successor to the "E-M1 Mark III", but it is the first new company, and it is the 50th anniversary since the first OM-1 (initially M-1) appeared in 1972. The "OM-1" was revived again at the milestone. Well, it was not OM-1 but M-1 that was released in 1972, and it was a bit confusing that the name was changed to OM-1 the following year, but that's fine. Although it is OM-1 of the new brand "OM System", it is a bit of a tsukkomi that the body is still "OLYMPUS", but that is also good. Considering the continuation of the series, it would have been difficult to change it suddenly.

OM-1 is a flagship machine that has strengthened its basic performance.

　It was a report because I got a little opportunity to touch such OM-1.OM-1 is a mirrorless single-lens flagship machine that uses a microfoursers mount.The basic design inherits the E-M1 Mark III, incorporates the elements of E-M1 X, making it a little smooth overall.The forehead is in the lower right of the OLYMPUS logo and the OM System logo.The grip has deepened, and the angle of the shutter button and the position of the dial have been inherited to the "E-M1 X".Although it is detailed, the button on the left shoulder is concave, and the design of the back electronic dial has changed.The size is the same as the E-M1 Mark III, but it is easy to grip, and it seems to be able to use it comfortably.But the problem is the contents, so I summarized the important points.

1) The image sensor is completely new

　This is the most important thing. The image sensor has fully renewed. Although the number of pixels has not increased (20.37 million pixels), it has become the first "back -illuminated pile -type sensor" in the series. The laminated sensor is no longer unusual, but it is the first (probably) adoption in Micro Four Thirds. The feature of this type is that the pixel size can be increased to the last minute and that the reading speed of the signal can be increased. The former works for image quality. In the conventional E-M1 series, the image quality at high sensitivity was a digital single-lens camera, but the practical ISO sensitivity rose from ISO6400 to ISO25600, and the dynamic range was even wider. This area is actually going to be taken in a review, but it is a good choice to prioritize high -sensitivity and dynamic range, not the direction of increasing the number of pixels. On the other hand, the reading speed of the signal is very effective when shooting an electronic shutter. The distortion when shooting a high -speed subject is much smaller. I want to check it properly during the product review. Another new "Quad Pixel Structure". It is like a quad version of the dual pixel, which gains a phase difference information in the vertical and horizontal direction. Ach achieved AF with a cover rate of 100 % with 1053 points. In short, the AF performance has improved.
