Panasonic G9 on backorder in the USA

Share

43rumors readers noticed that it’s nearly impossible to find the Panasonic G9 in Stock in US stores like BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. Don’t know if it’s becuase demand exceeds production or if there is some supply issue. Let me know if you have news on that!

Reminder:
Current Olympus deals at GetOlympus.
The Zonlai 22mm f/1.8 is now on sale on Amazon US in both Black finish (Click here) or Silver finish (Click here).

(FT3) 100th anniversary OM-D camera release scheduled for first half 2018?

Share


Image on top shows the Titanium E-M5II (here on Amazon).

A source reported that the Olympus 100th anniversary OM-D  will be “announced 1st-2nd quarter 2018“.

It’s still unclear if this special version will be only a special OM-D color or kit version or some kind of new camera with new specs.

E-M1II pattern noise issue tested by J.S.Park

Share

J.S.Park sent me this message:

You may know the Sony sensor having phase detection pixel shows banding in strong light. Olympus E-M1 Mark II having such Sony sensor also shows similar phenomenon.  Sony camera shows banding while Olympus E-M1 Mark II shows pattern noise. I have thoroughly tested it  and posted it in my blog:
http://lenswork.tistory.com
I’d like to share my findings.

It appears this is a common issue on all sensor with phase detection pixels. Don’t think there is a workaround yet. And don’t get alarmed because this happens in certain very specific and rare conditions only.
