It comes with no surprise that Olympus will put video capabilities inside the micro four thirds camera. We all had the feeling video will first appear with the micro four thirds camera and not in the E-system.

Two sources confirmed us this news without giving us informaton if the there will be 720 24p or 720 30p or 720 60p (We really hope it will be 720 60p).

Another source told us “…the Nikon D90 implementation is “poor” and Olympus won’t implement video into the E-System, but he that is a perfect thing for mft.”

Apparently Olympus is waiting fro some progression in video quality before implementing the feature in E-cameras.

I ask all our sources to give us a detaiiled information about the video format the micro four thirds camera will use. And again thank you for sending us this infromation!

(FT 3) Panasonic GH1 sensor for the first Olympus m4/3 cameras?

Share

fake

We all know that Panasonic delivers the sensors for Olympus digital cameras. We were wondering if the next Olympus micro four thirds camera will have exactly the same sensor as the Panasonic GH1 or a slightly different version (10MPX or 12 MPX). From what we heard until now it seems possible the Olympus will have the SAME Panasonic GH1 sensor. We are not sure if it is true, maybe they are very similar…

In a few words… it seems the sensor could be very similar and have 12MPX.

P.s.: The image is clearly fake, but we like the external Viewfinder on the camera ;)

We all made our long discussions with friends, talking about new digital cameras, sensor size, resolution and all the abitually staff. But you kow, good photography doesn’t really depend from the camera! Seriousely, you believe a camera is going to make from you a better photographer?

If you really love photography you don’t need to spend a lot of money! Don’t wait for the expensive micro four thirds cameras. Spend more or less 5$ for a used Olympus trip and you can take wonderful shot.

Ken Rockwell show us how the pictures taken from this camera can compete with the Canon 5d fullframe digital camera!
