Olympus O-Product

The Olympus O-Product is a limited-edition 35mm compact camera introduced in 1988, designed by Naoki Sakai as a design-led object combining an aluminium body with a circular lens housing. It was produced in small numbers and marketed as a collector's piece rather than a mainstream consumer model.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the O-Product have ranged from around £110 to £330 over recent years, with a median near £180 and a 2024 result of £328 showing the upper end for clean, boxed examples. As of today in 2026, condition and the presence of original packaging are the dominant factors in what this camera is worth at saleroom level, and values sit well above those of ordinary late-1980s compacts.
