OM Digital Solutions is hosting the OM System Plaza Fan Event from October 29 through October 30 in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Although, there has been no specific mention of upcoming cameras, but various rumors have suggested that Olympus’ next-generation OM-5 Micro Four Thirds camera will be released sometime before or during this event.

You can find detailed information on the OM SYSTEM OM-5 Camera Images & Pricing below.

The upcoming OM SYSTEM OM-5 mirrorless camera is rumored to have a 20MP, and it is capable of high-speed continuous shooting at 15 frames per second.  Compared to the E-M5 Mark III, the OM SYSTEM OM-5‘s brand name has changed from “OLYMPUS” to “OM SYSTEM” and the “OM-D” logo on the front has changed to “OM-5”. The main difference seems to be that the “E-M5 III” logo on the top is gone, and the color of the power switch on the left shoulder of the silver body has changed from silver to black.

OM SYSTEM OM-5 UK Pricing

  • OM SYSTEM OM-5 Body: £1,199 (around $1,340)
  • OM SYSTEM OM-5 with 12-45mm lens kit: £1,499 (around $1,674)

This means the upcoming Micro Four Thirds camera might be much cheaper than the current OM-1.

The Olympus E-M5 Mark III currently sells around $1199 in North America (current retail price is $999), so if the price of the OM-5 becomes $1599 as stated, the OM-5 will be significantly more expensive than the E-M5 Mark III. Considering the OM-5 uses the same stacked sensor as the OM-1, $1599 seems reasonable (the OM-1 retails for $2199).
