Sharp Joins the Micro Four Thirds System Standard Group
Image by Dave Maze
At the NABshow we will surely get the final specs of the new Sharp 8K Micro Four Thirds camera. In preparation for that today Sharp officially announced that it’s joining the MFT system:
Olympus Corporation and Panasonic Corporation jointly announced the Micro Four Thirds System standard in 2008 and have since been working together to promote the standard. We are pleased to announce that Sharp Corporation has recently declared their support for the Micro Four Thirds System standard and will be introducing products compliant with the standard.
News Release Details (PDF: 109.2KB)
As the driving force behind 8K imaging technology and a product developer, Sharp Corporation now supports the Micro Four Thirds standard. In the future, Sharp will add Micro Four Thirds products to their line-up. The possibilities unique to a joint standard will expand the enjoyment of imaging further.
As the company responsible for initiating both the Four Thirds System and the Micro Four Thirds System standards, Olympus will continue to develop and enhance the product line-up to meet the diverse needs of our customers.

Some more info about the new Panasonic G90
I still don’t know on what day Panasonic will announce the new G90. But today a source sent me this:
I did hold and try the new panasonic g90 in my hands . It was pretty like the g85 in size. Has a better grip. The evf was not as good as the one of the G9. The Panasonic guy told me it has same sensor as g9, but disappointing for me he say it was more of a gh5 light.
Panasonic has a press conference on April 7 at the NABshow. Not sure if that’s the day they will announce this new camera…
