According to the latest rumors from the rumor mill, the Olympus OM-5 Mark II announcement is expected on June 17, 2025. The camera will feature the same sensor as we have seen in the OM-1 Mark II camera, the 20 MP Stacked M4/3 format sensor. If the rumored information is true, then the entire OM-5 Series will surely experience a Major update in the sensor technology, aligning it closely with OM System’s flagship model.
A nice bump in speed and image quality compared to the original OM-5 if the rumored information is true. A few subtle tweaks to the body design is also coming alongside the new sensor, though nobody’s shown us clear details yet (we are waiting for the leaked images/specs to confirm this). If we talk about the EXACT set of information from the sources of the rumor mill, they have mentioned “stacked sensor” without saying exactly which one, so. What we have concluded is that if a stacked CMOS sensor is used, then for sure Oly will use the 20MP stacked from the flagship model.
The combination of “conventional 20MP sensor + TruePic X” seems possible. However, rather than using the old sensor (which has been in use since 2016), it may be cheaper for the company to standardize on the stacked sensor.
Either way, we’ll likely find out on June 17th, Stay tuned more updates coming
