OM Digital Solutions / OM SYSTEM Cameras

ownerOM Digital Solutions Corporation (Japan)
originJapan
manufacturedPrimarily in Vietnam, but also produced in other locations

OM Digital Solutions is the successor to the legendary Olympus imaging division. Following a strategic decision by Olympus Corporation to focus on medical technology, the camera and audio recording business was carved out and sold to Japan Industrial Partners (JIP). The brand transitioned from being part of a century-old optics giant to a specialized entity focusing on high-performance mirrorless cameras and outdoor photography equipment.

While the brand's heritage and engineering core remain firmly rooted in Japan, the manufacturing strategy has evolved. The primary production facilities moved from China to a major manufacturing hub in Vietnam, though some high-end lens Assembly and quality control still take place in Japan. The company operates under the flagship brand 'OM SYSTEM,' representing a new era for the Micro Four Thirds standard while maintaining the legacy of the original OM-series film cameras.
