Olympus OM- D brings a new style to CSCs
A striking new addition to Olympus’s
compact system camera range
Olympus is continuing its fight for the CSC
title with its latest realedse, the OM- D, and we were lucky enough to get a
hand - on look at it. Featuring a 16.1 MP sensor, image stabilisation, nine
frames per second shooting, and an ISO that can reach up to a whopping 25600,
the OM- D certainly has an impressive specification.
It comes with a 1.44 million- dot
electronic view finder that’s very crisp, so it is easy to view the scene before
you. It is also a very striking camera that moves away from what we have seen
before with recent offerings from Olympus.
The OM- D is available from April 2012 for
$ 1,299 with the 12- 50 mm lens
