OlympusOMD

Olympus OM-D refers to a line of mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras produced by Olympus Corporation and, after corporate restructuring, by its successor company. Launched in 2012, the OM-D line was designed to evoke the classic Olympus OM film cameras while delivering modern digital imaging capabilities. The cameras in this family are built around the Micro Four Thirds mount, which enables a broad ecosystem of Olympus and third-party lenses. They are typically compact and, in higher-end models, feature robust construction with weather sealing, electronic viewfinders, and tilting or articulating LCD screens.

A hallmark of the OM-D lineup is in-body image stabilization (IBIS) in many models, working with compatible lenses to compensate for camera shake and enable sharp handheld shots in lower light. The range has included compact entry-level bodies, mid-range models, and higher-end pro-oriented bodies, such as the OM-D E-M5, E-M10, and the larger E-M1 family, as well as dedicated high-speed or rugged builds like the E-M1X.

In the 2020s, Olympus’ imaging business underwent corporate restructuring, and the camera division was continued by a successor company that adopted the OM System branding while maintaining the OM-D designation on existing and new models. The OM-D line remains a core reference within the Micro Four Thirds ecosystem, valued for its combination of portability, stabilization, and image quality.
