The year is over and 2016 promises to become very exciting. On January 6th we will already get the first new MFT stuff at the CES show. And the month after we will have the CP+ show. But now let’s look back for a moment:
Note: I only added autofocus lenses. Manual lenses from third-party makers were not so great anyway :)

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.

E-M5II in Black at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto and GetOlympus.
E-M5II in Silver at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto and GetOlympus.

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.
