(FT5) Panasonic GX8 uses a new 20 MP sensor (from Sony?)

MFT-sony

Highly trusted sources just told us the new Panasonic GX8 will feature a new 20 Megapixel sensor. I am yet not sure this is actually the new Sony MFT sensor I spotted a while ago on Sony.net.

The camera also records 4K and will be announced on July 16 at 5-6am London time. As usual you can follow the live-blogging here on 43rumors!

Panasonic will announce the new GX8 Micro Four Thirds camera on Thursday July 16 at 5-6am London time. You can follow the live blogging here on 43rumors. So far we heard the camera design is close to the LX100 and obviously records 4K too. Sources said this is a camera packing some brand new features and not a small evolution! I hope they will also spill out some more details soon :)

Panasonic developed a “Lytro-alike” Lightfield system camera. For sale in 2016.

Share

Sankeibiz reports that Panasonic has developed a Lightfield digital system camera. It works just like the well-known [shoplink 54342 ebay]Lytro camera (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. The camera allows you to refocus the image in post production (see the official Panasonic example above). But unlike the Lytro this is actually a system camera! There is no word yet if it has a Micro Four Thirds or another new mount. Let’s hope it’s MFT!
Sankeibiz says Panasonic will commercialize the camera sometimes in 2016.

The advantage of such a camera is that you would never “miss the focus” in any shot as everything on the image or video would be “in focus”. More info about Light field cameras can be read on Wikipedia.
