Daniel:Hi, I just want to share with you a short reflexion about the “full frame” contreversy. Here is the link: http://photodanielm.blogspot.ca/2015/07/full-frame-is-available-in-all-camera.html

Holger:Here is the very first 4K Photo from a Lumix GH4 on FlickR Explore: https://flic.kr/p/wo3Dr3. I think that demonstrate how good the 4K Photo Modus already is helps to encourage more people to use it. Hopefully we will see more phantastic photos from the new Lumix 4K cameras.

(FT1) Olympus will make Zuiko branded lenses for the Sony NEX-FF system?

Sometimes I really have to post some of the strange rumors I get from anonymous funny “sources” :)
One of them sent me a message saying that Olympus will join the Sony E-mount system and make lenses for them. The first lens would be a “Zuiko 35mm f/2.8”. The lens design would be close to the gorgeous [shoplink 54865 ebay]Zuiko 35mm f/2.8 OM lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
I really don’ believe the info is correct but…there is a but. I cannot exclude that in a distant future Olympus will make the big jump to Full frame. And maybe they will really join the E-mount system. Afterall Olympus and Sony are partners and it would be easier for Oly to jump on the boot of a popular system.


For sources: Sources can send me anonymous info at 43rumors@gmail.com (create a fake gmail account) or via contact form you see on the right sidebar. Thanks!

Valentino:The clip below was entirely shot with the E-M5 MK2 and the zuiko 25mm f1.8. Arrangement is done in fcpx with no further processing. Mostly shot handheld and and with autofocus, sometimes on a monopod. Everything done with the available light on our location. It shows the behind the scenes in a professional accessory fashion shooting in Bangkok. I think it should give you a very good overview of the OMD E-M5 mk2 capabilities. We are generally happy with it for this purpose. Have fun watching and please subscribe if you like! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqe5jHyJNLU. If you have questions feel free to leave them in the comments.

Anonymous:There is quit a nice Deal for the Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f1.8 at Amazon UK. The great thing is, you can combine that with the Sommer-Special cashback from Olympus: http://olympus-summer-special.sales-promotions.com/. So you will get the 45mm for £119!

Patent shows Panasonic innovative “Micro Color Splitters” Sensor.

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2015-05-03 um 12.28.33
As you know Sigma’s Foveon tech uses three vertically aligned layers to capture the full RGB color info on every pixel. But so far the tech has many drawbacks (like noise ISO at medium and high ISO).

But Panasonic proposes a new kind of tech that promises to solve those issues. The three RGB layers are aligned differently. One in “normal” horizontal position and two are aligned vertically on the side of each pixel area. A so-called “Color separation filter array” splits the RGB light and sends it in different direction. Panasonic says that there is almost no loss of information when the light passes through the horizontal layer to get to the two vertical layers.

The patent is a detailed description of the “Micro Color Splitters” Sensor we saw two years ago:

The new technique allows to “approximately double the color sensitivity in comparison with conventional sensors that use color filters.“. The trick to achieve that is the complete removal of the color filters that “usually block 50 – 70% of the incoming light before it even reaches the sensor“. Full description of the tech can be read here: http://panasonic.co.jp/corp/news/official.data/data.dir/2013/02/en130204-6/en130204-6.html

Disclaimer for copycat sites: Please, if you report that news after reading it here link back to 43rumors.com in form of “found via 43rumors.com”. I check patents every week and it costs time to find them. To take advantage of my work without a simple credit isn’t nice :)
