Introduction to 4K for Photographers

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 40-150mm lens tested at Photoreview.
Panasonic cooperates with US venture to develop photo cloud (DC.watch).
New CES Panasonic 4K camcorders now listed on BHphoto.
Panasonic Lumix TZ70, Fewer Pixels but Better Viewfinder (Digitalversus).

Chris: “I recently had a few photos of Sydney’s summer storms featured in the news and papers. I used the Live Comp feature on the Olympus E-M1 to capture lightning and storm clouds. I believe it’s a great function to capture these things (and many others) and I wrote an extensive article about it on my blog on what it is, how it works and how it can be used: http://surflove.com.au/chasing-storms/“

(FT5) Panasonic GF7 to be announced at CP+!

• January 9, 2015
• Rumors
• 45 Comments

The Korean Agency RRA registered a new and yet unannounced Panasonic GF7 model. The camera is likely to be announced at the CP+ show in February. And all I know for now is that it’s not going to have 4K recording. This means that in early February we will get at least two new MFT cameras. The Olympus E-M5II and the Panasonic GF7. Note that also the GX7 (Click here) and G6 (Click here) are marked as discontinued…

(FT4) E-M5 successor records All-Intra video at 50Mb/s. Has No(!) 4K.

So far we know the E-M5 MarkII will be released the first week of February, feature the same E-m5 16 MP sensor, and have a new up to 40 megapixel (8 single shot combined) sensor shift function. For those interested on the enw video features of the camer well this is what it’s “rumored” to have:

– It does have clean hdmi-out
– all common frame rates and video optimized af-algorithm.
– 50Mb/s all
– no 4K recording

A good improvement over the E-M5 video functions. Maybe Olympus will add 4K on the next E-M1 successor….
