webrunner5 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Looks like some new kind of higher MP and higher speed camera coming from Olympus. https://www.43rumors.com/ft5-high-resolution-mode-works-at-1-60s/ Also I never knew Olympus made 35mm sensor sized Really High speed cameras. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RKSTs1l71A Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 FT5 seems high the probability to see it around in the beginning of the year. If it will add 4K/60p with reasonable bit rate, IBIS? I will surely buy one. MFT glass attracts me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My source told me EM-1X has a 40MP sensor and obliterates X-T3 in terms of spec and feature set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting to see if there's no moire nor aliasing artifacts going along video coming from such high resolution sensor acquisition.

webrunner5 Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 All sounds impressive if it isn't too much money. No way it is less than 2500 Dollars I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be much more than that $2000 price range for sure, I don't think it will reach $3K but what do I know? : ) That's the beauty of MFT ; -) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe perhaps more like 24MP. The sensor shift helps create larger res images, like it foes across manu Olympus models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelbb Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It's also rumoured to be very large for an MFT camera at 144.37mm x 146.765mm x 75.345mm with a built-in grip. That's pretty much the size of a Nikon D810 with battery grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the Nikon D500 would be better, but man so big on the lens side compared to m4/3. Even a Fuji XT-3 might work, but i have no lenses for one, and it has no IBIS like the Oly. But I am going to hold off and see what it ends up being and costing. Interesting to say the least. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Seems like a camera for quite a niche market (wildlife?). Hope it works out for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe other than on the video side you can bet if Olympus is going to really do it will be a heck of a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek of Joy Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 If it’s 40mp, it’s not m43. Seem like it’s only a matter of time before Oly goes FF with the L-mount. They have a bunch of FF lens patents, they make great glass, IBIS is second to none. IMO they could make waves with a kitchen sink camera, sort of a 1dx2 with IBIS and a articulated LCD. You know, what Canon should have done with the R. Chris webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the size on GH5 pixels, double them and voilá ; ) Not the best low light performer but with the most recent high sensitivity sensor technology will we need much more than today's outcome as far as shooting by night concerns? No need for infrared, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I am thinking its not a 40mp sensor, rather it has a mode that stitches several photos together to get 40mp. I think the G9 has a mode that does something like this. 40mp would be interesting though but not any good in low light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurolov Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Earlier in the year they were saying that the olympus camera to be released in january would have advanced video specs. I suspect this is the selfsame camera. I haven't purchased any of the recently announced mirroless camera as yet as I am waiting to see what this camera will do with its purported 6 stop ibis. Given its size I am guessing there will be enough heat dissipation to give us a really robust 4k 60p codec. People already know how good the olympus ibis is - if they have improved it even more it will be a fantastic run and gun camera. I suspect the video specs will be class leading for a hybrid. They need to price it around the xt3 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high-res mode produces 80MP images, and it works even when handheld, at 1/60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Even the E-M1 II produces 80MP Hi Res RAW files (and 50MP JPEG). And its got a 20MP sensor. Not hand held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 40 mp would only be workable if it have some quad bayer arrangement. And don't think that Sony will do a quad bayer 4/3 sensor. Since the camera is rumoured to be a fast speed shooter, I guess that this will be a BSI 20mp sensor (the only 4/3 BSI sensor today is the one in the GH5s). Maybe a stacked one, but don't think that Sony would do that - except if they wish to pull the plug in the RX100 - RX10 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
