Olympus OM 1 vs OM System 1 Mark II | 7 Major Difference

Let’s compare the two cameras and find out the major difference between the two. Olympus OM 1 vs OM System 1 Mark II

1. The Olympus OM-1 Mark II camera has arrived and, as you can see, Olympus is trending with this camera. In the design part, it’s written at the camera’s center “OM System” instead of the Olympus logo, which is not good to see.

Specification Olympus OM-1 Olympus OM-1 Mark II
Image Processor TruePic X Same as OM-1, but redesigned
RAM Not specified Improved compared to OM-1
Autofocus Algorithms Not specified Updated for improved subject detection
Logo on Camera Olympus logo “OM System”

2. According to the camera maker, the Olympus OM-1 Mark II camera uses the same TruePic X image processor as the original model. Still, this image processor has been redesigned and they have improved the RAM space compared to the previous version. The company says that with the help of more RAM and updated autofocus algorithms, the camera can now have an improved subject detection mode.

3. Now, the camera also has a human detection mode which detects human body movement more precisely compared to the previous generation of cameras. This goes beyond face and eye detection, so now it is more reliable in tracking a human body compared to the previous generation of cameras.

Specification Olympus OM-1 Olympus OM-1 Mark II
Human Detection Mode Not specified Detects human body movement more precisely
Face and Eye Detection Available More reliable in tracking a human body
Autofocus Refresh Rate Not specified Improved, boosts performance in subject tracking mode and continuous focus tracking mode

4. The company says the autofocus refresh rate has been improved (although we don’t have the exact number of differences between the refresh rate of the predecessor and successor). This boosts the performance of the camera, specifically in the subject tracking mode or in the continuous focus tracking mode.

5. With the introduction of a new and improved image processor and artificial intelligence algorithms, the camera makers say they have also updated the image stabilization system of the camera up to 8.5 stops, earlier it was 8 stops in the original OM-1 camera.

Specification Olympus OM-1 Olympus OM-1 Mark II
Image Processor and AI Algorithms Original New and improved
Image Stabilization System 8 stops Up to 8.5 stops
Buffer Size 169 raw frames at 10 fps with a mechanical shutter, 108 raw frames at 20 fps with an electronic shutter Up to 256 raw frames at 50 FPS or 213 frames in a single continuous burst at the rate of 120 FPS
ND Filters Built-in ND filters Graduated ND filter with options of ND 2, ND 4, and ND 8

6. The Olympus OM-1 Mark II camera now has a bigger buffer and it can shoot up to 256 raw frames at 50 FPS or 213 frames in a single continuous burst at the rate of 120 FPS. These numbers are better compared to the Olympus OM-1 camera.

7. You already have the option of built-in ND filters in the Olympus OM-1 camera, but now we have a graduated ND filter. This is a unique type of filter generally used for landscape photography and now we have it in the Olympus OM-1 Mark II camera. Even in the graduated ND filter, we get options of ND 2, ND 4, and ND 8.

8. The New OM System Mark II camera features complete blackout-free shooting which was not possible with the Olympus OM – 1, that really a valuable improvement for wildlife and sports shooters.

Multi-shot Raw Mode 50-megapixel high-resolution mode 80-megapixel large image in-camera, with an additional raw mode | 50 Mp handheld also available
Battery BLX-1, gives around 500 shots per charge Same BLX-1 battery, but performance may drop slightly due to a more upscale image processor, estimated around 450-480 shots per charge

SO, these are the Major differences we have between the two cameras. The rest of the core specifications of both cameras remain the same.

Olympus OM 1 Mark II is Coming due to...

The trademark for the Olympus name has expired. This might be the primary reason behind the announcement of the OM 1 Mark II and the end of the Olympus brand name. It’s really sad to hear, but that’s the way things are going-on right now. There is a high probability that the lower-end models may also get a refresh with the OM series name instead of Olympus. As far as the information we have, the trademark has expired. The reason could be anything, maybe the ownership has changed. But the name is certainly about to change. It’s really hard to see the Olympus brand name going away.

A small update, it is rumored that the OM-1 II will be equipped with an in-camera electronic ND filter function, providing ND2, ND4, and ND8 options.

Based on our latest information, the upcoming Olympus OM-1 Mark II camera will have built-in  Electronic ND filters. As you can see, it’s update on a software level. We are still waiting for further updates [More features to be explored soon].

Olympus OM-1 Dynamic Range Test Score

Take a look at the dynamic range measurement results of the recently announced Olympus OM-1 camera. The dynamic range of the camera was tested by photons to photos website.

The dynamic range test score of the camera is really pretty good although many of the M4/3 format users may get disappointed to see the low light score less than the Panasonic GH5 mark II.

Although we have to keep in mind that the Camera sensor uses a quad pixel phase difference autofocusing system. Due to its nature of construction, the camera sensor uses a high number phase detect autofocusing point inside the sensor for blazing-fast AF performance, which directly affects the low-light performance of the sensor. And maybe that’s Panasonic still uses the DFD AF system to protect the low-light performance of the camera.

Olympus Working on Advance Hybrid AF Sensor

The sensor is designed by a camera manufacturer but outsourced for fabrication to a third party, it is not quite the same as using a sensor from a third party, right? So, most of the camera makers including Fuji, Nikon and now even Canon does the same. In the New patent, Olympus is working to improve the Autofocusing system of the Hybrid sensors. The patent was granted on Feb of this year. We do hope and expect we will see a new generation of Hybrid AF Sensors in Upcoming Olympus Flagship cameras.

Patent Details (Translated)

In an imaging device having a plurality of imaging pixels and a plurality of focus detection pixels in which the position of the opening of the light receiving unit is shifted relative to the imaging pixels,
The focus detection pixels of the first focus detection pixel group including a plurality of focus detection pixels having different positions of the openings, which are shifted in the first direction, correspond to the first color filters of the imaging pixels. Are arranged at the first pixel pitch in the first direction for each focus detection pixel where the position of the opening is different,
The focus detection pixels of a second focus detection pixel group including a plurality of focus detection pixels whose openings are shifted in a second direction different from the first direction and whose positions of the openings are different from the first detection pixels of the imaging pixels. At positions corresponding to second color filters different in color from color filters of 1, each of the focus detection pixels with different positions of the apertures is arranged at the second pixel pitch in the second direction.

We will update you soon as we get any new information.
