The camera is particularly intriguing because its aluminum unibody housing is expected to be exceptionally compact. Despite an OLED viewfinder and a 3-inch touchscreen, the camera measures just 10.5 x 7 x 3.5 centimeters and weighs 300 grams, making it smaller in every dimension than the new OM Pen ($1,099 on Amazon). These compact dimensions are made possible in part by using 256 GB of internal storage instead of an SD card slot.
The camera combines a Four Thirds CMOS sensor with a Micro Four Thirds mount and is said to support all existing m43 lenses. The sensor offers a sensitivity range of ISO 200 – 25,600 and a dynamic range of 13 stops. In addition to a USB-C port, the camera also offers Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for a potential smartphone connection. The camera is operated using no fewer than three control dials.
