Early GH4 firmware update shows V-Log too.

There may be also a new feature not mentioned in the official Panasonic GH4 firmware announcement coming in December: V-Log! Newsshooter asked Panasonic about that feature:

I spoke to a Panasonic representative who told me that the V-Log Picture Profile was only being tested at the moment and isn’t confirmed for the next firmware release. Interestingly enough though I did run into a Japanese shooter who had V-Log operational on his GH4.

Sony just announced a sort of Full the Frame OMD :)

Sorry for the joke on the title but there is some truth on it :) Sony announced the new Sony A7m2 Full Frame E-mount camera. And it features the same (or similar) Olympus 5 axis sensor stabilization system! I am yet not sure the tech is coming from Olympus. It certainly looks so. I am wondering now how much “deep” the Sony-Olympus collaboration on the camera business is. Will the day come Olympus will use Sony’s Full Frame sensor too?

Big Cosyspeed Giveaway: Follow, Like and Win one out of 15 bags (camslinger bags / phonebags)!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Hi, this is Thomas from COSYSPEED.

It’s super cool that we can have one of our new CAMSLINGER models as a giveaway for your readers! I’m sure many of them would like this new concept of carrying a mirrorless camera (or Superzooms or smaller DSLRs aswell) on the hip or as a sling bag. It’s not a solution to transport large amounts of gear as the bags are on the smaller side, but for daily live when out shooting with smaller gear it will be a very quick and good solution.

Keep on going with your great blog and many thanks, Thomas
