Background and IdentificationOlympus cameras, made by the Olympus Corporation based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, were first introduced by the company in 1936. The first camera was called the Semi-Olympus I and featured the first Zuiko-branded lens, which is the Olympus brand lens. In 1972, the OM System was developed. It was a professional 35 mm SLR range of cameras that was more compact than other brands. By 1996, they had entered the DSLR market. Their cameras used a system they developed called the Four Thirds System, which is a standard set so that many manufacturers are able to interchange bodies and lenses.Today, according to digitalcameraworld.com, Olympus is divided into three categories. The first is the OM-D line, which “are the flagships, harking back to the OM line of film cameras, featuring SLR styling and up-to-date mirrorless functionality.” The second category is the PEN series, and the third the Tough Series which are waterproof and “near-indestructible”.
