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].
