The formula demanded by Nikon fans is simple: take the glorious design of the Nikon Z fc, which was inspired by the 30-year-old Nikon FM2, and apply it to a full-frame mirrorless camera. The least likely camera in this list to see a 2022 launch is also one of the most exciting.
What will the camera look like? It's not clear yet, but there's a clue at the bottom of the image above. And it's this heritage that OM System is planning to build on with its new release.

Olympus cameras have previously pioneered software tricks like Live ND, which composited multiple images in-camera to create a slow-shutter effect. Not that OM System will be entirely new to computational photography. The company has promised that it's "developing a new interchangeable lens camera" for the Micro Four Thirds system that will "bring photography to the next level." Interestingly, OM System says it will improve image quality "through the use of computational photographic technology." This is slightly ironic, given that Olympus effectively blamed smartphones for the demise of its cameras. However, the spirit of the company, whose cameras date back to 1936, may live on if the hype coming from OM System proves correct. One thing will stay the same though – the M11 will be pricey, like its $6,495 / £5,599 / AU$9,699 predecessor.Īren't Olympus cameras dead? Yes, officially deceased since the announcement in October that the new owners of Olympus' imaging arm would be releasing models under a fresh 'OM System' brand. But it seems Leica is now sensibly updating it on the M11 with a similar design to the Q2. This unusual design stayed on later models like the digital Leica M8 in 2006, even though it made changing the battery and memory card a faff. On the old Leica M3, you'd remove this baseplate to load film into the camera's base. More controversially, it seems Leica will be removing the baseplate design that's been a staple of M-series cameras since 1954. The latest whispers from the likes of Leica Rumors (opens in new tab) suggest the M11 will have a new 60MP full-frame sensor, with modes for 50MP, 36MP and 15MP snaps to help manage your file sizes. The Leica M11 isn't yet official, but it's an almost-certainty given recent leaked images – and it could divide opinion if rumors are to be believed. Okay, Leica cameras are mainly exciting to those with bulging Bitcoin wallets, but even for non-CEOs, there's something reassuring about the stubborn traditionalism of the M-series.
