It looks like the new OM body coming this fall will be a replacement for the E-M1X. I would expect to see some additional updates to video that could also come down to the OM-1.

The dpreview video mentioned and show a number of AF issues with both photos and video. I saw lots of missed focus in the video and eye AF is not very accurate. The 40fps photo mode drops to 15fps if you specify focus priority, otherwise you end up with lots of missed focus. I am also seeing wobbles and jerking with the IBIS in video. The video specs sound great but for run and gun it looks like Fuji is not there yet.

Adaptors could be a tight fit with the OM1 https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65980877 “Heads up for anyone who uses metabones or viltrox EF to M43 adapters. Some of them do not fit on the OM-1 because they did not leave enough room. The adapter back hits the hump. I tried the metabones EF-M43 T adapter and viltrox speedbooster. I imagine other adapters could have the same issue,”

Panasonic's excuse for not implementing PDAF seemed quite poor and hard to believe.

You may need to wait for the next shipment. An OM UK rep mentioned yesterday that all of the OM1 bodies allocated to the UK were sold-out already and most of the body+lens kits as well.

This video compares the out of camera JPEGs but also the RAW files in Adobe, CaptureOne and OM Workspace between the OM1 and the EM1iii at ISO 25600. The RAW file comparison clearly shows less color noise and greater DR with the OM1 from all 3 RAW editors.

The skates specs leaked this morning suggests it will have V-Log and will likely be priced at $2300 US “The LUMIX GH6 contains V-Log/V-Gamut for the first time in LUMIX G Micro Four Thirds cameras and provides 12+ stops, and even 13+ stops, of wide dynamic range using Dynamic Range Boost mode. “

From the same article he posted 50MP Hand-held High-Res images that was shot at 500mm (150-400 + 1.25tc). I am surprised it could work at that focal length hand-held. This should bode well for most static scenes.

According to below google translation the person from that article was using OM Workspace to process their RAW files. "In the software (OM Workspace, since Lightroom does not yet know the OM-1), an AI DeNoise from Topaz that has been optimized for the OM-1 is already integrated. I tried that."

According to the article OM is licensing AI-Denoise from Topaz.

The 330 shot rating for the battery seems quite low compared to other bodies. The GH5ii is rated for 400 shots while the OM1 is rated for 520.

I was wondering when we would start to see this from Smartphones.

You can see a vent for a fan in this photo. The GH6 looks to be much bulkier

Press release from Atmos confirming ProRes RAW support this spring for the OM-1. https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/atomos-uploads/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/15154803/PR-OM-1-ProRes-RAW-Support-DISTRIBUTION.pdf

An overview of video features along with grading capability in this review.

He is likely tied up testing the GH6 that was provided to him. 😀

Based on the latest rumor it looks like the name “OLYMPUS” will still exist on the front of the EVF on the OM-1. So the Olympus name will live for a while longer. But I guess you know this already. 😉

The OM-1 video specs seem underwhelming to even the GH5/G9. The 120fps 12-bit RAW DCI looks to be only available through the HDMI output.

I would definitely take the OM rumors with a big grain of salt. I would also be surprised if OM goes with a 20mp sensor while Panasonic goes with 25mp. This is around the time we would get a spec leak from Nokishita but sadly no more.

Official now

13 days to go

Need to take these with a grain of salt. But since the OM-1 is expected to be announced next week, the leaks could be more reliable now and may provide some insight to the GH6 as well. https://www.43rumors.com/ft4-possible-o-m1-specs-20mp-120fps-4k60p-10bit-422-and-astrol-tracking/ 20mp(yes,IMX472) 120fps 12-bit RAW DCI 4K60P 10-bit 4:2:2 Improved AF tracking astro tracking
