The new Yashica Micro Mirrorless camera is now available for reorder on Kickstarter (Click here). It’s a super small mirrorless interchangeable camera that uses a tiny Sony 12MP sensor and can take any other mirrorless lens via adapters.
Reminder: The German company Spinn now has over 1,000 backers for the new magnetic Swift-lock on Kickstarter (Click here). This is how it works:
Dpreview tested the Lumix G9II and concluded:
In conclusion, as someone who has shot with the original G9 for years, Panasonic’s G9 II is a significant upgrade in so many ways, from sensor to subject recognition to burst speeds. And it’s nice being able to carry a camera and lenses in a range of focal lengths in a relatively small bag. It’s not perfect: battery life is not great, the menus can be overwhelming, and it can be frustratingly slow to start up at times. This and AF tracking that’s only good, rather than great, are the only things that stop it gaining our Gold award. Overall the G9 II has proven to be a reliable stills camera with strong image quality and some useful computational modes, and can get you well on your way to being a videographer.

So far MFT sensor development has been quite small. But there is more and more interest in developing new Four Thirds sensor that can be used inside smartphones. Can OM Digital and Panasonic benefit from that? Sony, Samsung and Omnivision are rumored to be working on new High Megapixel FT sensors. Check out the video to hear about that!
