An Ode to an Almost Perfect Camera: The Original Olympus OMD EM5

By all means, the Olympus OMD EM5 was the camera that everyone wanted when it was introduced. Olympus did it right. They gave it retro ergonomics, a simple-to-use-design, and it was weather sealed. thephoblographer.com »

The Olympus TG-6 is the World’s Most Modular Point and Shoot

The company's latest offering is pretty much as modular as a DSLR or Mirrorless camera without being a DSLR or Mirrorless camera. thephoblographer.com »

Vintage Camera Review: Olympus XA2

The Olympus XA2 probably isn't as famous at its predecessor, but it is quite a beautiful and simple camera to use otherwise. I got mine from Brooklyn Film Camera, and in some ways I like to think about it as Olympus' version of the Lomography LCA camera. thephoblographer.com »

Throwback Thursday: Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom

Announced in 2004, the Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom wasn't the first camera with a focal range starting at 28mm, nor was it the highest resolution camera at the time with its 8 megapixel CCD. What made the C-8080 interesting was the amount of work that Olympus put into the lens, claiming that it was designed to be on par with the Zuiko Digital lenses found on its DSLRs. dpreview.com »

Olympus TG-5 Arrives With OM-D Processing Power and 4K Video

Compact cameras may have had their appeal curbed in recent years, but many models can still easily justify their existence. Take the so-called lifeproof category, for example. With Nikon’s waterproof 1 AW1 mirrorless camera failing to make much of a splash here, the various compact alternatives still make up the majority of practical options for those that want to shoot in atypical conditions with something straight out of the box. digitalrev.com »

If there's one thing I learned about the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, it's that it can handle mother nature with the best of them. At an Olympus-sponsored press event in Iceland, the camera got pelted with rain, sleet, snow and hail, all of which occurred over a 20 minute period on more than one occasion. dpreview.com »
