Phil A Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 But did they ever say it's continuous? Might be the buffer only manages 1 or 2 seconds before it's full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 fps means per second, so it is sequential shooting, of course : ) The burst might be longer but it should take only 1 second, I guess :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I really hope they make 24fps a selectable burst rate (as now you're stuck between 20 or 30fps), as it would allow for longer bursts as well than on the 30fps setting.

Flynn Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Olympus says the stabilization for the EM1 ii combined with the new 12-100 is gonna be good for 6.5 stops! I wanna see what this looks like. 4 hours ago, fuzzynormal said: Honestly, I am more interested in getting the best shots in my situation than I am with getting the highest IQ. There's always a piece of gear that will do something slightly better --so I don't fret about that a whole lot. I'll use what gets me to my "happy medium." For me right now, that's 5-axis in body stabilization. I'm currently a documentarian. So my needs might not be your needs. For a documentarian, I think the EM1ii plus the new 12-100 could be an awesome combo. If the stabilization of the lens combined with what's in the camera is as good as they say, that's just incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Brawley Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Turns out I was wrong. I assumed it was JPEG not RAW. It will barely register past one second though so not continuous :-) JB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like what Oly offers now, so it's only getting better. I'm certainly glad that they seem to be taking a big leap rather than baby steps. We'll see what it actually looks like for reals, but I'm encouraged. I love this rapid, awesome, IQ technological development in gear. My take away is this: Everyone is going to have cheap great cameras. The question is, what are you going to do with that camera standing in a room that's better than Bob, your uncle, standing in the same room with that same camera? It better be something creative and interesting, 'kuz cheap cameras with amazing IQ are a pretty big equalizer. sudopera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less expensive, I believe. And handy for a second Panasonic/Oly body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudopera Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Here is an interview with a guy that tested the preproduction model, he has a lot of praise for IBIS, especially paired with the new stabilized 12-100 zoom. kidzrevil, Flynn and photographer-at-large 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Daniel Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 This looks like an ideal run and gun, exploring camera - something I'm looking at that doesn't cost a bomb and can do very well stabilised video and stills. No word on whether the GH5 will have IBIS? I like the new Olympus zoom, besides it being f4, but how do the Olympus cameras play with electronic EF lenses? Is autofocus performance decent? How about stabilisation? (Such as Sigma ART 18-35mm?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPC Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 They're so clever at Panasonic and Olympus... At each iteration of the flagship model I hope I'll only need one, but every time I can see a good reason to buy both. teddoman, The Chris and sudopera 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim the G7 replacement, combined with one of two current optically stabilized lenses- but they plan on making the dual IS compatible with more of those lenses over time, is good for 5 stops of stabilization. Which is pretty remarkable. I imagine the GH5 will at least be able to equal it. Still, looks like Olympus has the edge unless Panasonic can step it up for the GH5. 5 stops is incredible. 6.5 stops is just unbelievable. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
