Olympus� innovative Air camera was announced back in February, but up to this point it has been a Japan-only product. Not anymore: today Olympus announced that the Air A01 will be available in the United States starting in July for $300.
In case you missed hearing about this camera the first time around, it�s an unusual device that�s essentially a camera body that lacks a screen and looks more like a lens. Thanks to its wireless connectivity, you can pair it with a smartphone to have the phone act as the user interface and live view.
Built-in Amazon Cloud Drive integration lets you directly access photos and videos you�ve stored in your Cloud Drive account and back up your photos on the go as they�re being created.
Other specs and features include a 16-megapixel MFT sensor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a silent electronic shutter, 10fps continuous shooting, full HD video, USB charging, a dedicated app, RAW capture, and a battery life of 320 shots per charge.
You�ll be able to pick up the Air 01 starting in July 2015 in white or black varieties for $300 if you buy the camera only, or $500 if you�d like a 14-42mm EZ kit lens included with it.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
