Olympus claims to have the tech to definitely solve the rolling shutter issue forever. The simple “trick” is to use a global shutter system that reads out all pixels at the same time. That’s at least what they claim in their latest patent spotted by Egami.
Hope Olympus will use that on their new High End OMD!

Ray: “Your readers might be interested in how well the Olympus E-M1 performs when it comes to aerial photography, especially from a helicopter. This is a job I did not long ago and the E-M1 was a stellar performer thanks in part to the IBIS: http://australianimage.com.au/wordpress/?p=517.”

A couple of weeks ago the Australian store Discountcameras marked the GX7 as “officially discontinued”. There is now a first official statement from Panasonic Korea about that matter. They told at Dicahub that the GX7 is not discontinued yet in Korea. But he also added “It is possible it is discontinued in specific country or specific dealer”
In the meantime the GX7 price keeps dropping and you can get it for $614 only in [shoplink 47127 ebay]USA (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and 639 Euro in [shoplink 47128 ebay]Germany (here on eBay)[/shoplink].

ICinsights (found via MirrorlressRumors) posted an analysis of what could happen with the camera market till end 2017. The overall camera turnover will shrink to a half by end of 2017 compared with the peak reached in 2011. But the good news for the camera companies is that the System Camera Market is expected to growth. And that’s where companies usually have higher profit margins. As we know from previous Panasonic/Olympus financial reports both companies will focus more on that high-end camera market.
Interesting: If you look at the non conventional camera market the future looks bright. Medical cameras (where Olympus leads the market), Surveillance cameras, car cameras, tablets and smartphone cameras sales are expected to growth further.
