Nate “Not a rumor just sharing a video shot on m43. I shot this video of climbing El Capitan on my Olympus E-M10 with Panasonic 14mm f2.5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAKJiX76at8“

Sony announced a new 10 Megapixel Four Thirds sensor. That sensor is not going to be used on any future MFT camera. But there may be a higher Resolution version in the near future.

The particular new feature of the sensor is the Quad Bayer Coding HDR. Sony writes:

“In this case there is no time difference between long-time integration and short-time integration, which realizes HDR with little blending offset when imaging moving subjects”

That sounds intruiging!

Here are the fulls ensor specs:

Cy: “The lion dance was shot HAND HELD with a NONE I.S. Lumix 20/1.7 lens. ISO was at 1,600, lens was at F2.8. The only stabilisation was from the Lumix GX85 camera.
I was really surprise how smooth and shake free the clip is! Panasonic Lumix stabilisation sure came a long way!

Dmitry: “If anyone is interested, I tested the new Kipon  
Canon EF to m43 Autofocus adapter with 10 Canon EF mount lenses.   Here is the video
https://youtu.be/n_s_iPZyMf8
I bought this adapter and the information on various sites on this version 2 of the adapter is often wrong.  For example Adorama and Amazon post wrong photos (of the old adapter) in their description.  This version was announced by Kipon in February of 2017.    Since there is a lot of misinformation I just bought one and tested on my EM1 Mark 1.”
