OM-1

Name: OM-1

Availability: InStock

The OM-1 marked OM System's arrival as an independent brand from Olympus, and it came out swinging. The stacked BSI sensor enabled speeds and autofocus performance that surprised the industry — particularly the 1053-point cross-type phase-detect system with AI subject recognition for birds and animals.
