OM System did seriously consider making full-frame cameras

By PR admin | Published: November 4, 2026

OM System published a new 9-minute conversation between Setsuya Kataoka (Managing Director and COO) and Eiji Shirota (Head of the OM System Business Unit) at OM Digital Solutions.

OM System did seriously consider making full-frame cameras

OM System (formerly Olympus) did seriously consider entering the full-frame or APS-C market, but ultimately decided against it to preserve the core identity of the Micro Four Thirds system. The discussions were not merely hypothetical; proposals for larger-sensor cameras “surfaced periodically” within the company, and COO Setsuya Kataoka personally pondered the move shortly after the business was acquired from Olympus. A mentor’s advice crystallized the decision to remain exclusive to MFT: master the existing format before seeking another. This led leadership to conclude that switching formats would not serve the company’s mission of delivering a compact, lightweight, and highly mobile photographic system, especially for telephoto and field work where portability is decisive.

Here is a recap of the interview:
