It’s tempting to arrogantly presume we know what is going on right now at Olympus, and predict the future. I don’t know if VAIO is selling good in Japan, what I know is that it basically disappeared in Italy and Russia. JIP is the same company that bought VAIO from Sony in 2014 and turned it from a world-wide popular line of expensive and stylish computers (I had a one) into a lower profile line being mostly sold in Japan. What will the future bring for Olympus and for the m43 system? Which are the mistakes I think Olympus did? This post will try to cover all that. It’s mostly shots taken during a walk on a beach here in Sardinia, at sunset.įor this reason it was saddening to read Olympus sold their imaging division to another company called JIP (Japan Industrial Partners), a fund that invests in companies with issues, trying to stop the bleeding and eventually keeping them afloat or disassembling them and selling the spare parts. All the photos are straight out of camera. I like their cameras and lenses and I enjoy using them. I owned many Olympus lenses and as you can understand from my previous PEN-F post (and from some of the upcoming posts), my experience with this brand has been highly favourable. I started shooting Olympus with a film OM-10 and a Mju-2 and I then kept shooting with their digital cameras, namely the E-M10 first and the PEN-F then.

The form could be better and I tend to digress too much, but here it is.

I removed a very long analysis of sensors tech, which could maybe go into its own post. It started as an opinion piece about Olympus and in the end it touched the whole m43 system. It is virtually unchanged apart from some minor edits reflecting recent events. PAYPAL ONLY !!
