OM System's CEO has announced that the company is working on a new camera and lenses. In a post titled "New Year Greeting and Prospects for 2025" that went up on Monday morning, Shigemi Sugimoto wrote: "Shortly, we plan to add a new camera to our lineup and bright, compact single-focal-length lenses with splash & dust-proof performance.

"

The post says the upcoming gear will be built to "meet the challenges of harsh outdoor environments," in keeping with the company's focus on outdoor landscape photography. However, Sugimoto also says it'll be useful for "authentic photos of life every day" as well. There aren't any further details about the upcoming camera and lenses, though Sugimoto reiterates the company's focus on computational photography features and says that it will "provide more options for compact, lightweight, splash & dust-proof products to expand photographic horizons. "

Sugimoto also provided an update on the telephoto zoom lens that's been on the company's roadmap for a while.

The post also says the company is continuing to work on the "long-awaited mid-range telephoto zoom lens" that's been on its lens roadmap for a while now. The roadmap seems to indicate that it'll be something like a 40-150mm, though, again, the company hasn't released any concrete details. Sugimoto's post implies that the company is working to bring it to the market by "the end of this year. "
