Fredrik: “”Here’s two of my latest videos shot on the GX85 with various m43 lenses. I’m struggling a bit with the dark winter here in Norway but I think the camera is still doing ok.

Jan: “After being ill for some time, I finally finished my review of the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm 1:1.2 PRO.
I thought you might be interested. The review is available at my blog (https://goo.gl/b60knq) and on Youtube (https://youtu.be/MpN-blvYPJQ).
Regards”

Little Island: “I have just made a video shoot on the GX85 camera last weekend and it was done completely handheld with no post stabilization. I also used a custom picture profile and was able to achieve an image that I truly believe is superior to my GH4.
Right now this camera cost under USD$600.00 and I personally believe that it embodies M43 in every way, small, cheap and amazing stills and video quality.
I have linked the video below, this was shot on Saturday and was edited and delivered to client on Sunday. It shows the dynamic range, 4k quality, stabilization and slowmo capabilities of the camera. It would be great if you posted on your site as one of the “a bit of everything” post. I need my M43 video shooters to see this, its crazy. If you can make this happen it would mean the world to me. I will return the favor by putting your website’s logo at the end of my next video. Thank you for you consideration.

Olympus Japan issued a new firmware update for the AIR camera. Strange enough I cannot find the firmware update on Olympus english sites.

Nathan: “45mm lens review: While comparing different m4/3 lens at 45mm found that “.. the ISO performance of the lens is lot more apparent than that of the camera. So, for the same camera with the lens same aperture, ISO1600 of one lens is much better than ISO500 of the other lens”.

Wolfgang: “There are some issues with the new EM-1 mark ii:
Those, who have invested in one of the very expensive fast new 128 GByte Lexar SDXC-II 2000x SD-cards for their EM-1 mark II video (like me), may be disappointed: the card is NOT recognized in the SDXC-II-Slot!  I didn’t try any other SDXC-II-Card, but my old Transcend SDCX-I U3 type 10 card, which writes up to 480 MBit/sec, runs flawlessly with C4K-video on the EM-1 mark II. As the Olympus-Codec, which claims 237 MBit/sec, is a Variable Bitrate-Codec, I found most of the time the Bitrate of C4K-video being under 150 MBit/sec (down to 30 MBits/sec!). Only when the scene includes extreme amounts of movement, the bitrate should be near 237 MBit/sec. So far, the Transcend-Card didn’t cause any problem.
Anyway: Olympus should investigate the issue and come up with a firmware update as soon as possible!
