On February 5 at 6am London time Olympus will launch the new E-M5II (follow the live blogging on 43rumors!) And the single most exciting feature is the so-called “40 Megapixel High Resolution Shot“. That’s how it works:
1) sensor shifts 0,5 pixel for every shot (up to 8 shots). It uses the Olympus on sensor stabilization system to do so.
2) camera has to be on tripod to make it work properly
3) resulting images are as big as 40 megapixel in JPEG or 63 megapixel in RAW(!)
That’s a nice trick to avoid the Megapixel race issues (smaller pixels means fewer electrons can be captured and image quality decreases). Of course this feature works only fine when shooting still objects. Anyway, let’s see on Thursday how good (or bad) this works! P.S.: The camera costs 1099 Euro.
