Keep Snapping // Iceland // Lumix LX100 Photos by Erik Hecht

Eric (video on top): “I put together this 4K slideshow of photos taken with my LX100 in Iceland: http://youtu.be/CKHwg8nTsf4. I also made a gallery on my website of the images: http://www.erikhecht.com/iceland/. I’m incredibly impressed with the quality of the raw images of this camera and I think your readers will enjoy the images as well.”

Karsten: “During ‘Illuminale’, a festival of lights at Trier (Germany), we shot the following official movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMzMSY6yvlI. Foremost in the hall of Konstantin Basilika it was extremly dark so I was wondering how the GH4 would manage the situation in UHD mode. Finally it worked great at max ISO 1600 and noise reduction level 0! Our lenses were Olympus 14-35 f2.0, Nokton 17.5 and Nokton 25, most of the time wide open.”

Gene: “Just edited up a few shots from a recent trip to India. Everything was shot on our GH4’s with Panasonic Lenses. https://vimeo.com/113346707 https://vimeo.com/113176496”

Shaun: “This short documentary was filmed on the Lumix GH4. The story is about a young teenager who loves photography, has never been on a college campus, but is given the opportunity to visit Duke University and photograph a football game with an all access media pass.

(FT4) rumor correction: E-M5II has “older” E-M5 sensor without PDAF.

Share

Image on top shows the current E-m5

I have to correct an error from one of my trusted sources. He made a mistake and he said he is now almost certain the E-M5II uses the same E-M5 16 megapixel sensor without PDAF and not the E-M1 sensor with PDAF as he previously told me. He said sorry for the misunderstanding :(
The same source said he has been told that at the end the E-M5II is not really made to hold the bigger FT lenses. The E-M1 is more appropriate for that.

On the other hand more sources confirmed that the camera will get the sensor shift function to shoot up to 40 megapixel (in up to 8 shots). So that is now nearly impossible to be wrong :)

Personal note: Really sorry about the mistake. It happens 1-2 times per year that even FT5 rumor get wrong. I hope ot make it good with some great new FT5 rumors :)
