OM SYSTEM OM3 its latest camera, the vintage SLR-inspired OM-3, along with 17mm f/1.8 and 25mm f/1.8 prime lenses and a 100-400mm super telephoto zoom.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — B&H is pleased to share OM SYSTEM’s latest release, OM-3 Mirrorless Camera, which delivers advanced performance and creative versatility while drawing design inspiration from the iconic Olympus OM-1 SLR film camera of the 1970’s. The company is also releasing updated versions of three lenses—17mm f/1.8 and 25mm f/1.8 primes and a 100-400mm f/5.6-6.3 super-telephoto zoom—to complement the release of the new interchangeable lens camera and to help creators to share their view world.

Product Highlights

20MP Stacked BSI Live MOS MFT SensorTruePic X Engine3.0″ 1.62m-Dot Swivel Touchscreen LCD2.36m-Dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder5-Axis In-Body Image StabilizationComputational Photography ButtonHigh-Res Shot, Live ND & Composite ModesIP53 Weather-Sealed & Freezeproof DesignSingle UHS-II SD Card Slot

The OM-3 vintage exterior camera contains a set of digital components ideal for creative expression. Building out from a 20.4MP stacked BSI CMOS Four Thirds sensor, the camera leverages its powerful TruePic X image processor—the same from the OM-1 mirrorless camera—to produce the scope of color profile controls and computational effects that distinguishes this system.

These color and monochrome profile controls enable users to make artistic adjustments to the image, allowing users to recreate the feel of film photography directly from the camera. In addition to both color and monochrome presets, users can adjust the saturation of 12 colors across 11 levels, along with highlight & shadow control, shading effects, a film grain effect, and a Monochrome color effect. A wide selection of Art filters are also available to apply via in-camera post-processing.

Further creative control is possible with the post-processing computational effects. High-Res Shot allow users to create images of up to 80MP in tripod mode and 50MP in handheld mode. Live ND and GND are two neutral density modes allowing for slow shutter effects in daylight and selective adjustments to manage difficult lighting within the frame. Other modes include Focus Stacking for broad depth of field, Multiple Exposure mode, and Live Composite mode.

These creative possibilities are emphasized in the camera’s design, which features both a Computational Photography button and a Creative dial, allowing users to directly access these settings without recourse to the menu.

The camera’s power processor also yields subject detection autofocus driven by AI, featuring six different subject categories with 1053-point phase detection. An additional autofocus mode, Starry Sky AF, is available for astrophotography. The camera’s 5-axis image stabilization provides up to 6.5 stops of image compensation at the center of the frame, with an additional stop when used in Sync IS with compatible lenses.

High-speed sequential shooting tops out at 120 fps, and the camera can shoot up to 50 fps with AF tracking engaged, while Pro Capture mode provides up to 70 frames of capture before fully pressing the shutter. The OM-3 also excels at video, offering 4K recording at up to 60p, in addition to Slow & Quick motion videos and the option for color profiling in either of the two OM-Cinema modes. Additionally, the camera’s heat management system permits continuous filming for up to 30 minutes at 104° F or indefinitely at 77° F without overheating.

The OM OM3 camera’s handsome, vintage design—which houses an electronic viewfinder in the iconic pentaprism—is by no means precious, and the compact, lightweight OM-3 continues the manufacturer’s dedication to building robust, weather-sealed cameras. The magnesium alloy body is IP53- rated for resistance against dust and water, with additional freeze-proof functionality down to 14° F. The camera runs on the same BLX-1 as the OM-1 digital camera and supports direct-to-camera USB-C charging.

Released alongside the new OM System OM3 camera are three M.ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses, the 17mm f/1.8 II and 25mm f/1.8 II prime lenses and the ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS II super-zoom lens. The two primes are full-frame equivalents of 35mm and 50mm, respectively, offering bright maximum apertures and bokeh effects in wide-angle and normal-length perspectives. Both lenses are compact, lightweight, and feature an IPX1-rated water and dust-resistant design for use outdoors.

Compact, lightweight, and well-balanced for its reach, the ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 super-zoom offers a 200-800mm full-frame equivalent focal length, extendable to 1600mm with an optional MC-20 2x teleconverter, and with its robust, IPX1-rated construction, is an ideal companion for wildlife photography in demanding outdoor conditions. Also well-suited for sports and other distant subjects, the lens supports 5-axis Sync IS, offering up to 7 steps of shake compensation.

Rounding out the slate of Olympus releases is the RM-WR2 Wireless Remote Control, compatible with the OM-3 and other OM SYSTEM mirrorless cameras, affording users wireless trigger release in slow-shutter exposures and other no-shake scenarios.

XRP Healthcare: XRPHAI, a Utility Token Rewarding Healthy Actions, to Go Live on MEXC April 27 at 10:00 AM UTC

Published

on

By

DUBAI, UAE, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XRP Ledger-powered utility token driving the XRPH AI ecosystem, with XRPHAI Rewards activating April 28 and enhanced rewards for XRPH holders to follow shortly. See the official MEXC announcement: https://www.mexc.com/announcements/article/17827791535042.

 

 

XRP Healthcare, the first AI healthcare platform built on the XRP Ledger, today confirms that $XRPHAI (the “XRPHAI” utility token) will go live for trading on MEXC at 10:00 AM UTC on April 27, 2026, marking the next phase in the evolution of its unified XRPH AI ecosystem. The XRPH AI Rewards system will activate on April 28, enabling users to begin earning rewards for healthy actions within the XRPH AI App through verified participation.

This marks the first time XRPHAI has been made available for trading, with no prior market activity, private sale, or exchange listing. The initial listing on MEXC provides users with first access to the token as it enters the market.

MEXC has recently undertaken a platform-wide rebrand focused on strengthening its global presence and advancing its position among leading digital asset exchanges. Serving over 40 million users across more than 170 countries, the exchange continues to expand its offering through the introduction of new projects and infrastructure designed to support long-term growth.

XRP Healthcare operates as a connected ecosystem where technology, application, and user engagement work together. XRPH serves as the foundational token layer, while XRPHAI operates as the utility token powering rewards within the XRPH AI App. This structure aligns platform activity with real-world healthcare engagement, ensuring scalability and practical use.

XRPHAI enables a system designed to reward verified healthcare participation within the XRPH AI App. Users can earn XRPHAI through AI-guided health interactions, CalmXRPH wellness sessions, image-based health assessments, educational participation and referrals, as well as through use of the XRPH Prescription Savings Card across more than 68,000 pharmacies in the United States, including Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens. This model introduces a practical approach to digital healthcare, linking real engagement with measurable rewards.

The XRPH AI App and XRPH Wallet are designed to operate seamlessly together, allowing users to earn XRPHAI within the app, transfer rewards directly to the wallet, and hold, manage, or utilise those rewards within the broader ecosystem. This integration connects user participation with underlying infrastructure in a single, unified experience.

Following the initial activation of the rewards system, XRP Healthcare expects to introduce an enhanced rewards layer shortly afterwards. This will enable users holding XRPH in the XRPH Wallet to receive increased XRPHAI rewards, directly linking long-term participation and token holding with greater earning potential across the ecosystem.

Global healthcare represents an estimated $10 trillion market, with digital health continuing to expand rapidly. With over 6.8 billion smartphone users worldwide and growing daily, healthcare delivery is increasingly shifting toward accessible, mobile-first platforms, positioning XRP Healthcare at the intersection of artificial intelligence, mobile technology, and real-world healthcare engagement on a global scale.

XRPHAI will be listed on MEXC at 10:00 AM UTC on April 27, 2026. The XRPH AI Rewards system will go live on April 28, ensuring that market trading and price discovery occur first, followed by reward activation aligned with a live market environment.

XRPHAI has a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, with the issuing account permanently disabled (commonly referred to as ‘blackholed’) to prevent any additional minting, reinforcing a transparent and finite token structure. Further details are available in the whitepaper: https://www.xrphealthcare.ai/docs/ai/xrph-ai-white-paper.pdf.

At the core of the system is Proof of Health™, a model designed to reward verified AI-driven healthcare engagement through a structured digital rewards system. Powered by XRPHAI and supported by XRPH infrastructure, this model ensures that participation is measurable, meaningful, and aligned with real-world outcomes.

Following its initial listing, XRP Healthcare intends to pursue additional listings on higher-tier exchanges throughout 2026, supporting broader access, increased liquidity, and continued ecosystem growth.

XRP Healthcare continues to focus on expanding its AI-driven healthcare ecosystem, with ongoing development aimed at increasing user engagement, accessibility, and real-world application.

Kain Roomes, Founder and CEO of XRP Healthcare, said:

“We are building a connected healthcare ecosystem where participation, technology, and real-world use come together. XRPHAI enables us to reward meaningful engagement at scale, while maintaining a strong foundation through XRPH.”

Laban Roomes, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of XRP Healthcare, added:

“This has always been about building one ecosystem. XRPH provides the foundation, and XRPHAI introduces a structured way to reward participation within the XRPH AI App. The integration between the app and the wallet ensures users can move seamlessly across the ecosystem while benefiting from their engagement.”
