New OM camera - bottom 1/3 look

Looks to me like it's shaping up to be little more than a retro repackaged OM-1.
The teaser does hint at that, especially mentioning the year the original OM1 came out.
Well, if it's significantly smaller,
Smaller than the vintage OM1 or than the new OM1s?
I might be interested in it as a backup and travel/street alternative.
The latter. I might be more inclined to take it places rather than the chunky black OM-1.
 
I love my film OM1from 1972 so this upcoming version already has my eyes on the target. Nice.....
I’d love for the mechanical shutter to have the same “feel”

!!!
Total agreement...if there is one thing that I don't like at all about digital is the press of the shutter. I want my FILM OM1 shutter feel, sound..... give me that above all else.

That would be my reason for buying one. I have an OM-1 ii and an OM-5, but I've never really loved the OM-5. It's a decent camera but it just feels a bit cheap in the hands. If this new camera is reasonably compact but good build quality I'm very likely to order one. The OM-1 ii is great but it's not really what I want to carry for more casual outings, or for discreet street photography.
 
I just saw this on the Malaysia OM page on FB

I’m unsure if it’s anything more than what’s been released but looks great to me!

Sorry to see that it's going to be yet another "woke" camera... they even included a Critical Race Theory position on the dial...

;-)
Explain that reference please in 'camera terms' and leave the politics out of it.
I actually have no idea what it refers to "in camera terms"...

(And please excuse a bit of light hearted humor... I just typed CRT in Google in an attempt to know what was behind the acronym...)
The CRT on the dial refers to "Color Creator"... allows you to adjust the colors with 30 different hues, and 8 saturation levels.

New OM camera - this small rangefinder looks very nice

Well done OM for not catering only to LARGE bodies .. i.e Panasonic G9 Mk ii

Really good looking

Gaul
it is not a rangefinder....
