Best cameras 2015 by Imaging Resource: E-M5II selected as “camera and technology of distinction”
The E-M5II has been selected twice at Imaging Resource best 2015 camera reward:
Once because of the best “Camera of Distinction”:
Overall, the Olympus E-M5 II takes what we loved about the E-M5 and polishes it to perfection. Combined with the ever-growing lineup of fantastic Olympus lenses, the E-M5 Mark II is a top-notch system camera for the enthusiast photographer.
And also because it has the best “Technology of Distinction”:
We’ve tested the E-M5 II’s 40-megapixel mode, and the results are very impressive. While medium-format cameras with high resolution sensors will still win on the resolution front, the level of detail the E-M5 II can deliver in its 40 megapixel mode with a good lens (and Olympus makes many such) is truly impressive. When you consider the price point, it’s a tough act to follow.

More details about the new Olympus Visible+Infrared Stacked Sensor
Nikkei Technology published some new info about the Olympus Visible+Infrared Stacked Sensor development:
“The laminated image sensor is made by combining (1) an image sensor equipped with an RGB color filter for visible light (top layer) and (2) a near-infrared image sensor (bottom layer). Each layer functions as an independent sensor and independently outputs video signals.
The visible-light image sensor is a backside-illuminated type, and its light-receiving layer (made of semiconductor) is as thin as 3μm. Each pixel measures 3.8 x 3.8μm, and the number of pixels is 4,224 x 240.”
This shows that Olympus is not merely relying on third-party sensors. They are also actively working on their own tech. And maybe the day will come we will see an Olympus MFT camera with Olympus sensor inside (no Panasonic and no Sony).

Ted: “Finally checking in with my first bit of news I can show! I’ll soon have news for the MFT DEC PRO coming out soon too.
Could we get a quick news/blog posting on our new monitor? Was just released today. I’m certain there will be a lot of positive feedback and viewership from this announcement. I’ll send you a model if you’d like to take a look at it.
The products are the VS-1 and VS-2 FINEHD. They’re basically 1920 x 1200 resolution versions of our very popular 7 inch monitors. The VS-2 comes with additional monitoring functions like histogram, false color and volume bar. This is the higher resolution than monitors five times the price.

Very last days of Olympus-Panasonic Christmas deals
Check out those pages at BHphoto, GetOlympus and Amazon to grab the soon to be ending photography deals.
(FT4) Panasonic-Leica 100-400mm lens should cost just under 2.000 Euro.
I previously said the Panasonic-Leica initial price is rumored to be close to $2,500. And the source also said he expects the street price to be $2-300 lower once the lens is available.
Now a second source from Europe told me the price will be just under 2.000 Euro. So let’s hope the last rumors are right and the lens is indeed a bit cheaper than expected.
