New Olympus patent discloses on sensor polarizing filter tech.

Egami spotted a new Olympus sensor patent. Under the classic RGB bayer sensor we have a second sensor capturing the info about the polarization of the light. This would allow you to get rid of the polarizing filter and as an ulterior benefit you would not have a light loss!

Of course as usual we don’t know if such a sensor will ever make it into a real mass production camera…

Andrea Felice:A short video shot in the beautiful scenario of the Elba Island, Tuscany, Italy. Shot in 4k (some in 96fps) on my GH4 + the great Lumix 20mm 1.7 (great combo for travel light). https://vimeo.com/133150409

Tyler B.: “I have been a reading your site for years. I didn’t think I would be going back to m43 for video but the new Olympus om-d e-m5 mark ii image stabilization is on a whole other level. I can run with it, hike with it, and bounce around on the back of a scooter at 50kph on mountain roads and still get pretty good results. I put together a short video from one my scooter camping trips at one of Taiwan’s premier jungle waterfalls. All shot handheld with the olympus om-d e-m5 mark ii and no post image stabilization. https://vimeo.com/133214072

Tom Cribbin:I made this 4k video with a Panasonic GH4 and some friends, I would it if you could share it smile emoticon https://youtu.be/85MqWcTALYQ
