THE OLYMPUS ADVANTAGE
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE CORE OF EVERYTHING WE DO.
When Olympus Visionary Fernando Marmolejo is on location shooting motocross, he never worries about his gear slowing him down.
You want to be exhilarated, not exhausted. You want the freedom to shoot your way, to rise to every adventure without ever being weighed down. You want Olympus.
Shooting with Olympus is an experience like no other. We develop unique camera systems to fuel your creativity, to drive excitement and purpose in your photography.

COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT
FREE TO BE MORE CREATIVE.
Shoot longer. Move easier. Enjoy photography more when your camera system doesn’t weigh you down.
OM-D E-M1 Mark II + M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO vs. full frame DSLR with equivalent focal length lens.
At up to half the size and weight of other interchangeable lens systems, our compact cameras and lenses deliver image quality valued by the world’s top pros.
BREAK FREE FROM BIG AND BULKY.
Carrying lighter gear gives you more energy. More shooting flexibility. More ways to express yourself. You’re free to shoot longer so you can nail the right shot. Our compact systems let you react more quickly and blend into the scene - unlike larger cameras and lenses that can draw unwanted attention and make subjects feel uncomfortable. Because when your camera gear is perfectly designed for you, you’re free to be your very best.
POWERFUL IMAGE STABILIZATION
ALWAYS CLEAR AND SHARP AND VIBRANT. ALL HANDHELD.
Our in-body image stabilization lets you shoot handheld by compensating for all camera movement. The result? Crisp, clear, detailed images - even in low light. No tripod needed.
With other systems, even slight camera shake can lead to blurry photos and jerky video. Our cutting edge stabilization helps you frame and capture tack-sharp stills and smooth high-res video as if the camera is perfectly still.
SHOOT WITH LESS GEAR AND MORE FREEDOM.
Our image stabilization uses sophisticated technology to do a simple thing: replace your stabilizing gear. You’re free to shoot handheld. Take spectacular telephoto and macro shots. Walk and explore and never worry about blurry stills or video. Even capture crisp colorful photos in low light. Our industry-leading 5-Axis Sync IS combines camera and lens stabilization to give you up to 7.5 shutter speed steps of compensation, the world’s most effective stabilization performance*. Only Olympus offers you so much mobility and freedom.

WORLD CLASS OPTICAL PERFORMANCE
PRO-GRADE PRECISION TO CAPTURE ALL YOU SEE.
Your camera system is only as good as the lenses you use. Our M.Zuiko lenses provide the highest resolving power to ensure your images are bright and colorful with edge-to-edge sharpness and detail.
Build your perfect system. You’ll find a complete range of lenses from a small pancake zoom to ultra-bright pro primes and high-powered telephoto zooms.
ENGINEERED TO AMAZE.
M.Zuiko lenses bring out the best in your photography. They’re built to rigorous quality standards and feature precision-cut glass with bright, fast apertures. Our M.Zuiko PRO lens lineup includes our world-class optics and adds metal construction and worry-free weathersealing. And like our cameras, M.Zuiko lenses are compact yet deliver imaging power equal to that of much larger lenses. All to help you break free and photograph more.
Olympus Visionary Jay Dickman uses M.Zuiko PRO lenses to capture every detail of his world travels in stunning color and clarity.
CONSISTENT PRO QUALITY RESULTS – EVEN IN LOW LIGHT.
Just ask Olympus Visionary and pro sports photographer Kelley L. Cox, who’s covered everything from college sports to the Super Bowl to the Special Olympics. She relies on her Olympus gear to produce sharp pro quality shots in even the toughest lighting – including indoor venues and outside at sunset.
THE SMOOTHEST UHD VIDEO, NO STEADICAM REQUIRED.
“This is a strong, powerful cinematic tool that has a place in my tool bag that no other camera can take right now.” - Olympus Visionary and director Janne Amunet, speaking of the high image quality, weathersealed construction, and superior video stabilization of the OM-D E-M1X camera.
