Where is the Panasonic 8K Organic Sensor?
Back in September 2019 Panasonic has promised to launch their first camera with the organic 8K sensor by 2020. Personal View wrote:
Interview with Takashi Ishii from Panasonic, who is closely related to new revolutionary sensor development. Panasonic aim this to be first commercially available camera with organic sensor that will be made available around Tokyo 2020 games start time. Not only camera won’t need ND filters, but will also implement some of new processing techniques and may be also will use new SDI coaxial connectors in the final version. Camera presented at IBC used 4x 12G SDI connectors and special recorder with 4 separate drives. It is interesting of presently it process and store each of 4K separately, as in such case it will require cheap and afforable part already present in 4K Panasonic cameras and recorders.
Ok, Tokyo Olympics got postponed, still I wonder if this new tech is still being developed or just “delayed”.

Robin Wong: HIGH ISO & Low Light – Can Olympus OM-D Do it?
Robin Wong writes:
I had a shoot dealing with very low light environment, so I had to push the ISO numbers on my Olympus OM-D system. Bihzhu was very kind to invite me to shoot behind the scenes images of her live recording in studio of her new song “Alive”. The recording, and shoot were done in December 2020 before the second Lockdown in Malaysia happened on 13 January 2021. I was pushing my E-M1 Mark II (together with 45mm F1.8, 75mm F1.8 and 25mm F1.2) to their limit in this extreme condition.
