Interview with Takashi Ishii from Panasonic, who is closely related to new revolutionary sensor development. Panasonic aim this to be first commercially available camera with organic sensor that will be made available around Tokyo 2020 games start time. Not only camera won’t need ND filters, but will also implement some of new processing techniques and may be also will use new SDI coaxial connectors in the final version. Camera presented at IBC used 4x 12G SDI connectors and special recorder with 4 separate drives. It is interesting of presently it process and store each of 4K separately, as in such case it will require cheap and afforable part already present in 4K Panasonic cameras and recorders.

Due  to production issues Venus Optics decided to delay the shipment start of the new 4mm MFT lens. No info yet when the lens will ship now.

Olympus, Leica and Nikon!

I know that photography shows are becoming less important. Still I am surprise to see three historic companies not being at  the Photokina show for the first  time after som many decades!

Still, Panasonic confirmed they will be at Photokina in May 2020…
