Laurent:I went to Yodobashi Camera Kyoto this morning, and played (a bit) with the new GX7 Mark II. Unlike previous Lumix camera, that came with a Japanese-only
interface/menu, the GX7 Mark II is multilingual : Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese. Unless I’m wrong, it’s the first time Panasonic Japan offers a Lumix with multilingual menu since the GM1S.

Lorenzo:I have just completed my latest documentary, Living the Weather. It is composed of 5 chapters on weather and seasons in a West Yorkshire valley. I filmed it in 4K with a Panasonic GH4 and Olympus and Panasonic lenses. It features 5x 5 minute sequence shots made with DJI Ronin M and Olympus 7-14/2.8 at its widest.

(FT5) Olympus E-PL8 has a 16MP sensor

oly_e-pl8_f001

Olympus had to delay the E-PL8 launch due the Sony sensor production stop in Kumamoto. Now it’s unclear when exactly Olympus can release the camera. But a trusted source confirmed this:

  1. The camera will come in three colors: black, white, light brown.
  2. The camera has the “usual” 16MP Sony MFT sensor

Along the camera Olympus will also announce the new 30mm f/3.5 macro lens. Not sure tough if they will also announce the new 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens at the same time.
