PEN-F reborn? OM teases new classic rangefinder-style camera with viewfinder – could this be the next X100VI competitor?
After a quiet year, OM System has now released a teaser video for a new camera, here's what we know so far about this new model. The post PEN-F reborn? OM teases new classic rangefinder-style camera with viewfinder – could this be the next X100VI competitor? appeared first on Amateur Photographer .
OM System, formerly Olympus cameras, has released a teaser of a new camera with a viewfinder, suggesting it might be a digital rangefinder style device similar to the Olympus PEN-F. The exact details are yet to be disclosed, but the teaser video provides a glimpse of the device. The original PEN-F has gained a cult following, thus the upcoming model is expected to be highly anticipated.
The video showcases a few sample photos that seem to have a vintage or film-like appearance, which aligns with OM System's long-standing use of "Art filters" on their cameras. These filters include options like 'Vintage' and other retro styles. The teaser also hints at a range of Micro Four Thirds lenses that will be compatible with the camera, assuming it is indeed a Micro Four Thirds camera.
However, the video does not clarify whether the camera will have a fixed-lens or a Micro Four Thirds lens mount. If it is a fixed-lens camera, it may be positioning itself as a modern digital version of the legendary Olympus Trip 35. As this is a teaser, there is currently no information regarding pricing and availability, but an official announcement is scheduled for the 9th of September 2026.
