The '''Olympus OM-D''' [[system camera]] bodies resemble the [[35mm]] [[Olympus OM]] SLR series. Again the concept is to surpass the concept of the average concurrent system cameras. Both of the first OM-Ds, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 (2012) and the newer E-M1 reached that goal. Despite of their smaller µ4/3 image sensors both cameras delivered excellent respectable image quality in comparison with average [[APS-C]] sensor format cameras. Finally, in 2014 a budget version, the E-M10 was released. Backed by this success, [[Olympus]] gave up its [[Four Thirds]] DSLR series since the mirrorless OM-D took over the lead in Olympus camera portfolio. The old Four-Thirds system lenses can be used via adapter on OM-Ds.

The Olympus OM-D system camera bodies resemble the 35mm Olympus OM SLR series. Again the concept is to surpass the concept of the average concurrent system cameras. Both of the first OM-Ds, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 (2012) and the newer E-M1 reached that goal. Despite of their smaller µ4/3 image sensors both cameras delivered excellent respectable image quality in comparison with average APS-C sensor format cameras. Finally, in 2014 a budget version, the E-M10 was released. Backed by this success, Olympus gave up its Four Thirds DSLR series since the mirrorless OM-D took over the lead in Olympus camera portfolio. The old Four-Thirds system lenses can be used via adapter on OM-Ds.

Mark II



In 2015 Olympus re-issued the OM-D E-M5, mightily reworked as Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II. Its new specialty is a 5-axis sensor-shift anti-shake mechanism. This is also used for an 8-shot High-Res imaging mode with 2.5× sensor resolution as image resolution. It also got a bigger, more detailed viewfinder image. An OM-D E-M10 Mark II was also launched. In 2016, the Mark II variant of the of the E-M1 was released as first 20 megapixel OM-D, with a better sensor giving overall improved image quality.

Mark III

The Mark III variant of the OM-D E-M10 was introduced in 2017, the E-M5 Mark III, which was the first 20 megapixel E-M5, in 2019, the E-M1 Mark III in 2020.

Mark IV

The Mark IV variant of the OM-D E-M10 was introduced in 2020 by Olympus, finally having an E-M10 capable to shoot 20 megapixels, too.
