I just got that rumor about a new Blackmagic Pocket MFT Camera
M43 mount. 4K, same or almost the same size, better battery life, H265 possible. Might see it at NAB although will not ship then (lol – Blackmagic shipping on time).
And tomorrow (March2) Blackmagic will live stream a new camera announcement. But it’s unclear if the camera will be announced tomorrow or at the NAB show in April.
UPDATE: The live stream is over. Black magic did not announce a new MFT camera today. But as our source said yesterday a new MFT camera could be announced at the NAB show in April.

Tony: “Just wanted to share with your readers about a bug that I discovered in the E-M1mkII and have reported to olympus. The Flash and sync ports deactivate in Hi-res and focus bracketing modes. More details here: https://unlockingolympus.com/2017/02/e-m1-mkii-bug-report/ This might save your readers some frustration or looking bad in front of a client if they aren’t prepared with the workaround!“

In the video I compare the low-light quality of the Lumix GH5, Olympus OMD EM1 II, Fujifilm XT2 and Sony A7s II in 4k 25p at 1600 ISO to their maximum movie sensitivities of 12800, 6400, 12800 and 409600 ISO respectively. Each camera was set to the same colour temperature and using its standard profile. I used lenses which delivered roughly the same field of view and adjusted the distances where necessary – the Sony samples look different due to the perspective of a longer lens and bigger sensor. The lighting was fixed and the exposures matched at each sensitivity, so any difference in brightness here is due to processing styles and variations in actual sensitivity.
Two of my favorite bloggers posted their new Panasonic GH5 and G85 tests/insights:
1)Photo Gear News Editor, Richard Sibley, spent a few days in Iceland, with the new Panasonic LUMIX GH5. He created a short vlog using the GH5 and shares some of his thoughts about using the camera for stills and vlogging.
