Olympus interview at Phototrend: More MFT cameras will be announced in 2019!

Share

The French website Phototrend interviewed a bunch of Olympus managers. Here a couple of takeaways:

– In 2018 Olympus did not announce new MFT products because of the move of the factory from China to Vietnam
– In 2019 Olympus plans to release more new MFT cameras
We do not want to go to the full format and want to stay focused on what we can do because we want to offer compact and lightweight products
– The MFT system has a unique advantage over the competition which is size and portability.
– E-M1II sales did growth after Olympus announcement that they will stick to MFT only.

There is also a lot of talk about the new E-M1X features. But nothing new to report here :)

The Heat pipe of the E-M1X

Share

Olympus did share this small detail about the E-M1X heat pipe:

The Olympus E-M1X has powerful dual TruePic VIII image processing engines. In addition to image processing, these engines also control state-of-the-art functions such as Intelligent Subject Recognition AF, High Res Shot mode, and Live ND. As you can imagine, these engines generate an unprecedented amount of heat due to the enormous amount of calculations and processing they handle. Likewise the camera’s ultra high-speed continuous 4K / C4K shooting capability and powerful camera shake correction function generate heat as well. Finding a solution to prevent overheating- especially in sunlight- was a big task for the E-M1X design team.

To keep all of this hardware cool Olympus designed the E-M1X with a heat pipe that effectively disperses heat from the processors up through the casing and into the surrounding environment. This technical feat lets you shoot freely without worrying about the camera overheating.
