Winter Tread: DJI s900 & GH4 from Kevin Luiz on Vimeo.

Olympus gave out free cameras as part of their April Fools joke (Diyphotography).

Capio Studio (video on top):Winter Tread is a proof of concept by Capion Studio for a future short film revolving around the New England area. This piece serves as a mood and style guide to some of the artistic choices of shooting the particular story. The narrative piece will explore thematic notions of the dream world and the subconscious psyche. It is our plan to be able to utilize aerial photography to capture the scope and depth of lucid dreaming. For Winter Tread, we focused on winter as a less literal element, inferring the season as a state of being, or a hardship leading to brighter days. This element (literally and figuratively) will play a significant part in the character’s psyche, branching out with strong visual effects.

Farrukh:We filmed this 8 minute video of Jordan with Queen Rania, Petra, Feynan, the Dead Sea and more, using the Olympus EM1 with the 9-18mm and the 45mm f1.8. Hope your viewers enjoy it :) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=751923388247253

This really a no surprise to anyone. But a source close to Sigma told me they killed any Four Thirds lens development project. FT lens development is officially dead.

OM-D E-M5 Mark II review is up on Admiring Light.
New E-M5II stabilziation test on Youtube.

Sergey:This is not a rumor but I’d like to share this: During shooting in some nightclub my Olympus OM-D E-M10 fell from the 4-meter high balcony onto concrete floor. The first thought that came to my mind was R.I.P. my dear Oly! The 14-42 kit lens was jammed and beyond repair BUT imagine my surprise when the body was repaired by Olympus in a couple of days – serviceman said that he only needed to re-attach the sensor/shutter assembly changing nothing!
That’s what I call TOUGH!
