The Olympus OM-D marketed by Brown and Company Plc., was voted the ‘Best Camera of 2012’ by the Digital Photography Review (DPR). The OM-D competed against a host of world leading camera brands and shone through as voted by the DPR readers. The Olympus OM-D is a ground breaking

new digital interchangeable lens camera, perfect for people who want to “take part,” “create” and “share”. This revolutionary mirror less camera has an exceptionally light and compact body. Its electronic viewfinder enables photographers to check the Art filter effects, colour temperature and exposure levels in real time. When shooting you can instantly create a truly unique world and preserve it in exceptional quality. The OM-D’s electronic view finder (EVF) features a high resolution 1.44 Million dot LCD screen, providing 100% field view coverage and 1.15x magnification that will let you immerse yourself in your subject and actively control image creation.The EVF also enables you to enlarge the focus point for precision focusing on virtually any shooting situation and can also show you the effect of highlight and shadow control, white balance, exposure compensation, aspect ratio and a host of other settings and advance digital image processing functions.

The OM-D’s unprecedented image quality is attributed to three factors; a wide line up of M. Zuiko Digital lenses, a wide 16 mega-pixel live MOS image sensor and an advanced truePic VI image processor for superb colour fidelity. The optimal balance of these factors ensures the high resolution, sensitivity and color accuracy you need to brilliantly capture the world around you. The new and improved 3D tracking autofocus system ensures you won’t miss the moment even if the subject moves to or away from you. In addition, the new high sensitivity image sensor ensures superior auto focus performance even in dim light. Also thanks to the new 16 mega-pixel Live MOS image sensor’s high speed read-out performance, the OM-D offers maximum sequential shooting at 9.0 frames per second making it easy to capture sports action or fast moving subjects such as wildlife or pets. The OM-D is equipped with the world’s first five axis image stabilisation system which can compensate for vertical, horizontal and rotational camera shake that conventional two axis systems of the past have been unable to handle. Trouble free shooting in all environments is assured by Olympus’ dust proof and splash proof technology.

The OM-D is the first Olympus camera to feature a tilting touch screen monitor for intuitive fingertip operation. The 3” OLED touch screen delivers high resolution images of your subject with rich colour reproduction.
