David Thorpe: A Year In Micro Four Thirds

Share

David Thorpe:

The last year, 2019/20 has been a strong one for the Micro Four Thirds system. I thought I’d take a look back over it with few remarks on what was actually new and what was new to me. The Panasonic S1 proved an interesting diversion but all that extra weight and cost didn’t feel justified for the limited improvement, much as I liked the camera. The E-M5 Mark III mostly impressed, the big Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7 too, though it was overshadowed for me by a Micro Four Thirds lens costing 1/19th as much! Am I mad?

Capture One Launches a new update to Capture One 20
Bringing new features, new capabilities, a new product, and a new look, Capture One is providing better solutions for more people, and breaking new ground.  

COPENHAGEN, May 18th, 2020: Capture One, the premiere name in photo editing software, delivers a suite of announcements that highlight new product offerings, expanded capabilities, and a new direction; revealing the company’s continuing evolution and support for creatives.
The development of Capture One 20 remains driven by an evolving roadmap rooted in user feedback from both the Capture One community and creative community overall.  The latest update brings brand new heal and clone tools that reduce the need for external retouching applications while increasing efficiency, and a new Before & After Tool that gives new ways to check your editing progress and to compare your edits.
With user experience in mind, Capture One has also developed a new activation flow with new dialogues, sample images, and interface guidance that make it faster and easier than ever to become a Capture One user. In addition, the company has advanced its Lightroom Catalog importer, and together it not only makes it easier to start using Capture One, but easier to migrate without missing a step.
Beyond that, when it comes to Capture One, users have choice. There are currently a number of Capture One variants such as Capture One Fujifilm and Capture One (for Sony), and now the company is proud to deliver Capture One for Nikon. Similar to the other branded versions, Capture One for Nikon brings the full feature-set of Capture One Pro at a reduced cost to Nikon users.
“We want to enable creatives to achieve their best images as effortlessly as possible, and that is why we drew heavily on feedback from our community to develop Capture One 20,” says Jan Hyldebrandt-Larsen, VP Software Business at Capture One. “It is our commitment to support them by providing a seamless photo editing experience defined by developing the features they ask for and need, as well as the ones they didn’t know they wanted. Capture One 20 is an exciting moment for us as we happily put even more focus and resources behind that goal.”

(FT1) Too good to be true: Two PEN-F coming in late 2020? I doubt so!

Share

An anonymous source sent me a rumor that I would normally NOT post. But it’s a kind of rumor I would wish to be true. So for the sake of discussion let’s read it:

Fans of Olympus Pen-F are in for a big surprise late 2020. Two versions – one premium aka Pen F mkII and one more in the line of a ordinary Pen but with viewfinder are in pipeline. Early stages but from a source high up in Olympus so very reliable.

We know from our source the PEN-F sales didn’t meat their goal. And that’s why Olympus scrapped the PEN-FII release. Still, the PEN-F camera is in my opinion the most beautiful MFT camera on market and I do hope Olympus reconsiders to make a successor. A PEN-FII with brand new sensor may sell more than they would expect! What do you think?

Would you buy a new real High End PEN-FII?
