Of course we all can expect OM digital to announce a new OM-10 this year. Red35 explains why this camera is so important.

The 8K camera prototype wit organic sensor

MONOist published an interview with the developers of the Panasonic’s organic CMOS sensor. Panasonic hopes to mass produce organic CMOS sensors in a few years, and says that Panasonic is in a position closer to commercialization than competing manufacturers.

The original article carefully explains what kind of image sensor the organic CMOS sensor is, and on the second page, Yoshiko Nishimura, one of the developers, says as follows:

In Japan, NHK and Sony have reported on the technology, and overseas, Samsung Electronics and France’s Isorg are working on development, and organic CMOS image sensors are attracting attention as next-generation image sensors. Among them, we are proud that our company is in a position close to practical application . Since we need customers, we cannot say when, but the development side has a desire to put it into practical use in a few years, and we are focusing on activities to that end .

Panasonic has been exhibiting organic CMOS sensors at events for the past few years. If development proceeds smoothly, 8K cameras with organic CMOS sensors might be a reality in the late 20’s.

Imaging Resource interviewed Mr. Yoshiyuki Nada, marketing communication for the Global Marketing department of OM Digital Solutions.

1. the sales of OM-1 are going well as planned, which is the main factor in our strong performance.
2. Nada-san confirmed that the mid- to high-end product lineup will consist of just two models, the OM-1 and OM-5 (so no E-M1III successor)
3. Regarding the design of the PEN series, we believe that there is a demand, but the demand for “entry-level” models has dropped significantly in the overall market trend. In this sense, we believe that this is something to consider in the context of the entire product lineup, not just the PEN series, as you have indicated.
4. we are continuing to study the possibility ot make an EM-1X successor

Inpainting and Extend Image, are two powerful new ways to edit your photos that will soon be available on Adobe Firefly. I took a couple of photos I shot with Sony A7rV and tried to modify them using Playground Ai which already contains those two features. Check out the video to see how it works!
