I’ve been an Olympus and Micro Four Thirds user since I purchased a used E-M5 in 2016. I love Olympus, and like many others was sad to hear the news when the company’s photo division came to an end.

Since then, I have eagerly awaited the new company’s first camera. And now we have it: the OM System OM-1.
