Back in 2015 Olympus displayed this transparent PEN camera with viewfinder in the corner. I think having a transparent body would be cool. Imagine how cool it would be to see all the tech inside!

Maybe OM Digital should do it?

Back in 2019 Sony released the full presentation of the IMX492 sensor with 23,1mm diagonal (the MFT sensor has a 22.5 mm diagonal). The sensor has following key specs:

– 47MP multi-aspect sensor (41MP in 4:3 mode and 35MP in 17:9)
– Exmor R tech with electronic shutter
– Has 8k30p recording (in 17:9. In 4:3 it’s 25p)
– 2.315μm Pixel Size for both the Bayer and Monochrome sensor version

Still this sensor has found no use in any OM Digital and Panasonic camera yet. I do believe it would be nice for once to have something different than the usual 20MP resolution. So will we get this 47MP camera in 2024?
