2019 looks set to be a big year for Olympus. Not only is the brand celebrating its 100th anniversary, but the champion of cool-looking Micro Four-Thirds cameras is set to launch a very important new model.
A shot from the teaser video with the E-M1X paired with a telezoom.
Named the E-M1X, we were already given indications that this camera would be different from previous OM-D and Pen models released by Olympus, both in form factor and for its potential use. Well, a new video released by Olympus has teased the camera ahead of a now-confirmed launch date of January 24.
The teaser video shows the E-M1X in a number of sporting locations.
The video shows the camera being used in a number of sporting scenarios; an American Football game, a water polo match and a beach volleyball court, all but confirming the E-M1X as a full-blooded action camera. This will prick the ears of sports and wildlife photographers looking to capture action with a smaller option than a DSLR.
The video also gives photographers a better look at the camera’s form factor, which is a departure from previous models and it appears the E-M1X has a built-in vertical handgrip, further enhancing its credentials as an action camera.
The teaser video ends with a silhouetted shot of the camera.
There’s still no word on further specifications or any news on pricing, but with the video now confirming the launch date of the E-M1X as January 24, photographers don’t have too much longer to wait for the full details. You can watch the teaser video below. . .
