I’ve made a living with Olympus / OM System cameras for the past 7 years. But more on that later in this article.Īm I biased? Sure! Does it matter to me if you buy this camera by the end of this article? Not really. That being said, all cameras are great these days and there are only a very few specific scenarios where I’d really pick one camera over another. I’m not really here to test and review every aspect of the new camera… I leave that up to others. So, for all the online keyboard-warriors claiming that micro4/3 can’t be used by professionals… this OM-1 camera has earned me around 25,000€ since I’ve unboxed it in November.Īnd, despite being an OM System Ambassador, I’ll be honest with you and will try to focus on all the things that are important to me when I’m researching and assessing a new piece of technology for my own work.

Naturally, I said yes and was soon after sent a pre-production sample of the OM-1 and have since been using it on various commercial projects in Germany, Austria, Finland, Norway and Belgium for 4 months prior to launch.Īs you might know from my previous real-world reviews, I’m not here to compare stats and specs of the camera, but instead, I’d much rather like to share my experience as a working professional in real-world scenarios that I’ve actually found myself in and how I used the features of this new tool to be inspired, achieve my work and, ultimately, get paid.

My role was to show off the ‘grit’ and weather sealing the new camera has to offer. I was to be one of 5 in the world who was part of the global campaign to show off the new features and capabilities of the OM-1 camera.

In early November 2021, OM System approached and asked me if I’d be interested in working on the ‘5-photographer project’ for the new OM-1 camera. Today, I’d like to give you my real-world impressions of the new OM System OM-1 flagship camera.
