OM System Brings Out a New Camera?

OM System just dropped a teaser for what looks like a new camera, set to launch on February 6. Earlier this month, CEO Shigemi Sugimoto promised new gear, and it seems like we’re about to see it.

The teaser video gives us a sneak peek at the camera, including a front dial with options like Mono, Color, Art, and Crt—giving off serious Olympus PEN-F vibes. However, this isn’t a direct PEN-F follow-up; instead, it has a traditional SLR-style design with a central viewfinder, similar to OM System’s other recent models.

The model name is hard to make out, but it’s definitely an “OM” series camera. Plus, there are plenty of physical dials, which is great for fans of hands-on controls. OM System is hyping up launch day with events and notifications, so we’ll know exactly what’s coming soon!

New UHS-II V90 2TB SD Card

Team Group just announced a 2TB SD card—the T-Create Expert SDXC UHS-II U3 V90. It’s not just about capacity; it promises speeds up to 300 MB/s for reading and 260 MB/s for writing, with a sustained write speed of 90 MB/s. That makes it perfect for high-res video recording, though it’s not quite fast enough for RAW video workflows that need CFexpress cards.

The card is IP67-rated for durability (think water, shock, and temperature resistance) and designed for pro-level cameras. Team Group claims it can handle up to two hours of 6K footage on a Canon EOS C400 or hold nearly 15,400 RAW photos from a Sony a7R V.

No word on pricing yet, but it’ll definitely cost more than SanDisk’s 2TB UHS-I card at $330. With V90 cards averaging around $1 per GB, this could easily hit $1,000 or more. Expensive? Sure. But as the first of its kind, it’s setting a new bar for capacity and speed in SD cards.

Photo Analysis

Welcome to a new addition to the magazine: the photo analysis, where I will analyse a photo and talk about the composition, lighting what’s positive, what’s negative etc. so that you can learn and better your own photography from it ;)

This weeks photo by: @moumarion

Let’s Analyse this Image:

Composition

What works:

• The framing is spot on. The subject is slightly off-center, which makes the scene feel natural and well-balanced.

• The bus and sidewalk create strong leading lines that pull your eye straight to the main subject.

• The stepping motion adds energy—feels like a real, fleeting moment.

What could be better:

• The umbrella blocks the subject’s face, which takes away a bit of the emotional connection.

• The background, while nicely blurred, has a few distractions, like the bright signs competing for attention.

Lighting & Mood

What works:

• The contrast between the red coat and the cool, rainy city tones makes the subject pop.

• Wet pavement reflecting the city lights definitely adds a cinematic vibe.

What could be better:

• Some areas, especially the darker parts of the bus, lose a bit of detail.

• The background lights are a little too bright, pulling focus away from the subject.

Color & Contrast

What works:

• The deep red coat is the perfect focal point—it immediately draws the eye.

• The mix of warm reds and cool blues creates a stylish, almost noir-like feel.

• The wet umbrella catching the light adds a nice layer of texture.

What could be better:

• The red traffic lights, while adding to the atmosphere, compete a little with the coat for attention.

• Some shadows are just too deep, making parts of the image feel a bit too dark.

Storytelling & Emotion

What works:

• It’s a moment we all recognise—rushing onto a bus in the rain. That familiarity makes it instantly engaging.

• The mid-step movement makes it feel real and unstaged, like you’re watching a scene just happening.

What could be better:

• A glimpse of the subject’s face or a bit more posture detail might add even more connection.

• The heavy color grading and deep blacks make it look a bit stylized—some people might prefer a more natural look.
