Imaging Resource interviewed Mr. Terada and Sugimoto from Olympus. Here are few hot info:

New PRO lenses: There will be pro lenses released before the 150-400mm pro launch in 2020
New E-M5II successor: We can reassure you that we plan to introduce a successor model.
Core focus: core strengths of Olympus brand are compact and lightweight, high-resolution lenses, and strong image stabilization
Reason for the E-M5III launch delay: The move of the factory from China and Vietnam had a double impact on the financial results and an impact on product release timing.

Imaging Resource spotted this new OM-D BrassEdition camera at the CP+ show. It’s a concept made for the Cp+ show only and Olympus has no plan to make a production version out of it. I really love this concept and I think they should do it!

Do you like the OM-D BrassEdition camera?

• Yes! Olympus should make it!
• No.

Download it here: four-thirds.org/en/common/pdf/catalog2019_en.pdf.

What’s not so nice in this catalog is that the Panasonic 10-25mm has that note saying to be released in 2019 “or later“. I do hope the lens will be on market within 2019!

Weird results from PhotonsToPhotos: E-M1X Dymanic range lower than the E-M1II

Photonstophotos added the E-M1X Dynamic Range measurements. And the negative surprise is that the E-M1X seems to have lower Dynamic Range performance compared with the E-M1II. It’s weird because they both sue the same sensor.

I saw in past Photonstophotos adjust the charts with further testings. I wouldn’t take it as granted that the E-M1X has lower dynamic range.
