(FT5) Panasonic LX8 will shoot 4K video. (FT4) Priced at $799.

Share

The soon to be announced LX8 will have a built-in evf like the current LF1 you see on the picture above.

The Panasonic LX8 is supposed to be announced on July 16. And as we know it will have a larger (1 inch?) sensor and a built-in EVF. It also will keep the current LX7 look. And now latest rumors say it will have 4K video too and  get at $799 price tag (same as the Sony RX100M3).

Would you consider to buy such a camera?

Olympus patent discloses Lens Reversing Ring for MFT.

Share

Egami spotted a new Olympus patent describing a Lens Reversing Ring you can put on front of your MFT lens (just like a filter). This will allow you to shoot macros on all(?) MFT lenses. Something similar has been already be made by Nikon with the Nikon BR-2A. But the Olympus patent describes a more high quality variation that should get rid of the issues coming along such an adapter (chromatic aberrations and so on).

Don’t know if this is something I would buy but I am not a macro shooter :)

Frederik:I have tested the GH4 electronic shutter, and it is clearly using only a 10 bit readout, just like the GM1. This causes more noise in the shadows, and a smaller effective dynamic range. See the test here: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2014/06/gh4-shutters.html
