In his last video Matti Sulanto announces he is no longer a Lumix ambassador. But there is also a teaser: He is testing a new MFT lens. No idea if it’s a Panasonic lens or from a third party manufacturer:

(FT5) Here are the leaked specs of the new Panasonic GH5 Mark II

Share

And we are finally here! Panasonic will announce the new GH5II very soon and those are the leaked specs:

  • Name: Panasonic “LUMIX DC-GH5M2”
  • 20.33 million effective pixels
  • 4K60p video
  • 3.68 million dots 120fps compatible EVF
  • DMW-BLK22 battery
  • size 138.5x 98.1×87.4mm
  • weight 647g (main unit only)
  • US price It will cost $ 1697 ($ 2297 for the 12-60mm kit).

This sounds like a minor upgrade to the GH5 and definitely underwhelming don’t you think? I don’t know if this means that there will be no new 8K GH6 camera at all :(

Olympus 100-400mm review by Robin Wong

I loaned the Olympus M.Zuiko 100-400mm F5-6.3 IS lens again from OMD World Imaging (Sole Olympus Distributor in Malaysia) and revisited the lens performance, especially in better lighting conditions. The previous review that I did I tested the lens while the weather was cloudy and the animals were in dim light. I had to push my ISO up to 1600 for many shots, and even 3200 for some shots, and this degraded the image quality, not accurately representing the full potential of the lens. This time, I ensure that I was shooting my subjects (birds in KL Bird Park) with plenty of available sun light and restricted the ISO to low numbers. The improvement of image quality (per pixel sharpness, fine details resolved and overall contrast/tonality) improved drastically. The 100-400mm lens is super sharp and I highly recommend this to any wildlife or bird photographers shooting with Micro Four Thirds system.
