So, come January 2, 2021 we will see new life for Olympus as it transfers most of its Imaging business to a new business called the ‘New Imaging Company.’
It is bit unknown what it will actually mean I think the new crowd will keep selling the brand.
The new company name, OM Digital Solutions Corporation, will honor the inspiring legacy of Yoshihisa Maitani and Olympus Maitani cameras. The New Imaging Company will continue with our existing brands, such as OM-D, PEN and ZUIKO, and will utilize the Olympus brand for a certain period," the statement says. The acquisition includes all of Olympus’ global Imaging business, including all research and development, as well as manufacturing facilities. Sales, marketing and R&D operations will be relocated to a new headquarters located in Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan, while production will continue at Olympus’ Vietnamese factories in the Dong Nai province.
Olympus says the ‘New Imaging Company will continue to provide high-quality, highly reliable products’ and notes the ‘Zuiko and OM brands, which are grounded in optics and digital imaging technologies cultivated by Olympus over many years will be appropriately positioned to further pursue new developments.’
There has been massive improvements in my 2 Mark 11 camera's firmware since late last year.
I've never been comfortable with Olympus support services. Have tossed away more than a couple of cameras. Stayed with Olympus mainly because have so much invested in the camera and particularly lens ('s). In my opinion Olympus and Zuiko Lens are among top 4/3rds camera products, are second to none really, but a very fluid constantly changing technology has gone forward in leaps and bounds throughout 2020

There is one thing the new company can do for my M1 Mark III and that is to improve the camera’s challenging menu System. Maybe adopt a clean graphical user interface instead of a menu system that reminds me of early Microsoft DOS line commands.
I’m still researching a couple zuiko pro prime lenses.
Olympus has some of the best image stabilization technology in the photo business. Their flagship Olympus OM-D E-M1X mirrorless camera, in particular, debuted a seriously impressive 7.0 stops of in-body stabilization. (And a combined 7.5 stops if paired with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO lens.) That same technology is now available in their E-M1 Mark III, bringing amazing IS performance within reach of advanced amateurs, and in a more compact body to boot. My OM-D E-M1 Mark 11 cameras have 5 way stabilization built into them. One camera I have a Zuiko 300mm 1:4 Pro Lens that has 2 way stabilization built into the lens that works in conjunction with the cameras stabilization. I've x2 Teleconverters fitted to both cameras. The other camera is fitted with 40-150mm lens that has its own focusing engine built into the lens, it to is fitted with x2 Teleconverter.

I really like the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO lens. It was my first zuiko lens. Great outdoors but given my inexperience I find it is not best lens for indoor low light shooting conditions @ f/4

non of them do everything
I suggested to a friend he should check out the Olympus 40-150mm lens, its been round a long time, i have one with me all the time because it better in low light than the 300mm lens. One camera I chucked away was caused because i was using Olympus Zuiko 75-300mm, that was sold as suitable for wildlife but the forgot to mention it wasn't weather, cold, dust resist, AU$1900.00 camera bit the dust... The 40-150mm is weather, cold, dust resist, has its own focusing engine built in and not to expensive (say $1300.00) Worth a look mate

galrads: According to galrads, immortality is positive only if you can spend it on cs.
Death is negative if you want it to be and immortality positive, its totally up to you what is positive and negative.. Thinking and saying death is negative is another way to bring anxiety upon yourself over the issue that is death, the anxiety pushes you closer to the corner of death which is a certainty in all life...
