Sony’s High Speed 80 MP Quadpixel MFT sensor with full-pixel 2x2OCL phase focusing now available for all third party manufacturers
Someone just sent me the specs of the newly listed SOny MFT sensor:
80 million pixels, MFT (M4/3) Type 4/3, double-layer stacked, full-pixel 2x2OCL phase focusing.
Adjacent Pixel Binning, 12bit 121fps, 10bit 151fps; high speed.
2×2 OCL means quadbayer. 4 pixels share same microlens .
UPDATE: This looks like the OM-1 sensor. If indeed that’s the case than this might means that Sony will sells that very same sensor to all third party companies.

(FT3) 75-300mm update being considered. No major optical changes.
A source told me that OM Digital might launch an update of the current Olympus 75-300mm lens. He said there would be no optical changes, so I am not sure if this is exactly the same lens with a new “OM” Logo on it or if there will be some improvements with the autofocus hardware.
