Since many of our readers own Olympus/OM Systems products I thought a lot of folks would like to read an OMDS in-depth interview recently done by Dave Etchells. Dave is well known in the photography industry and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to his interviews.

I spent some time reading Dave’s OMDS in-depth interview, and came away with a very positive impression about how OMDS has transitioned the Olympus Imaging Division into an independent company.
Back in October 2020 there was a fair amount of concern felt by many photographers when the carve out of the Olympus Imaging Division was announced. Some people wondered how financially stable the new company would be, and its commitment to produce innovative, high quality products.
The online trolls behaved predictably with their incessant slagging of Olympus, Japan Industrial Partners and the formation of OM Digital Solutions (OMDS). No doubt much of that will continue into the future. This type of drivel is best ignored. Dave Etchells always brings a mature and informed perspective.
For my part, I’m still completely satisfied with the investments that we made in Olympus equipment that started in June 2019. As noted in a recent article, I still love my E-M1X bodies and have no intention to make any changes to our kit.
If you currently own Olympus/OMDS equipment, or if you are thinking about transitioning into the system… I’d highly recommend that you read the OMDS In-Depth Interview by Dave Etchells.
