hoodlum Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Now this sounds interesting.ttp://photorumors.com/2015/02/20/new-panasonic-video-and-stills-camera-to-be-announced-at-the-2015-nab-show/#more-68168 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrad Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Um, how? M43 sensors have had relatively slow progress so far. This would be a massive technological leap forward. 16+ stops of dynamic range and usable iso 12,800? What?Did they finish the organic sensor? Last I heard that thing wasn't nearly ready.

Jimmy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Sounds like someone's wishlist to me. With a speedbooster, it is just about the perfect camera, for me.If it is somehow true, at the price... I will buy 2 and never visit a camera tech site again.

Chrad Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 An 18 MP M43 sensor with similar performance to the 12 MP FF sensor of the A7s...I just can't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeys Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Oh hey it does raw, tracking AF, and 480 FPS high speed 4K! Oh and it also has 10 axis IBIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenogears Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 What if panasonic comes with a ASPC sensor on a 4/3 mount camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 On many specs, it outperforms the new Varicam.This is a kid's wishlist, i'm afraid.Would LOVE to be proved wrong though ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted February 21, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 21, 2015 Wow talk about plucking specs out of thin air with the minimal of education when it comes to guessing.18MP on a Micro Four Thirds sensor yet clean at ISO 12,800.... riiight.

Oliver Daniel Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Well that's a load of rubbish. I wouldn't bet against an actual video camera from Panasonic to take on the FS7, C300 etc. Long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 18mp on m4/3 translates to almost 70mp on a ff area. And to about 29mp in aps-c. Nx1 has 28mp on apsc and uses the newest tech in sensors' world. It's noisy to very noisy at 6400. I doubt panasonic can do that much better.

tosvus Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 maybe this has dual base ISO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt panasonic can do that much better.There were rumors about Panasonic working on a new organic sensor that could represent a breakthrough. I'm with those of you who are extremely skeptical about this rumor, but I won't be entirely shocked if there is some truth to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if they put out an 8.8 MP 16x9 'M43ish' video camera for under $4000. Would give them a good niche of the market to themselves.

Flynn Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Could this be the first camera using the organic sensor developed by Panasonic and Fuji?"Organic sensors have lots of potential. Instead of using comparatively large and potentially noisy photodiodes at each pixel, this type of sensor has an extremely thin light-sensitive organic layer covering its surface.Fujifilm and Panasonic announced the joint development of organic CMOS sensor technology in 2013. But, as yet, no camera has been released.So what’s the big deal with organic sensors? According to Fuji and Panasonic, their technology offers the ‘industry’s highest dynamic range of 88dB’, improved sensitivity (think lower noise) compared with regular CMOS sensors and the ability to mount the lens closer to the sensor (so cameras can be further reduced in size).Consequently, organic sensors have the potential to produce improved performance from smaller sensors. The prospect of a higher resolution APS-C sensor with a market-leading signal-to-noise ratio is a tempting one."http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2014/09/17/the-future-of-photography-7-camera-features-you-will-see-before-you-die/2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodlum Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 It looks like we may finally get a AF101 replacement and it should be more than just a GH4 with different body.http://www.43rumors.com/ft4-new-af101-successor-to-be-announced-at-nab-show-has-brand-new-mft-sensor/"I had a conversation with a Panasonic Rep here in Japan.He told me in the near future there will be an upgrade of the AF 101 camera announced. Newly designed sensor will have an immense dynamic range of up to 15 stops and 4K. Sensor will be a big surprise in unexpected ways. Not sure about the price tag though."

Chrad Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 So they finished the sensor, huh?If the specs are anywhere near accurate, Fuji's APS-C version of this sensor will be ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymossville Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 My guess is they went back to the multi-aspect sensor so the crop factor won't change between 1080 and the two 4k modes. This is what the next GH camera should have as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted February 22, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2015 Why on earth would they put an organic sensor in this, when they have a perfectly good Super 35mm sensor to trickle down from the Varicam S35!?Guys! This rumour makes no sense!!No sense at all! Not even any sensor!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeys Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Organic sensor I read is far from ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudopera Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Why on earth would they put an organic sensor in this, when they have a perfectly good Super 35mm sensor to trickle down from the Varicam S35!?The problem is that for Panasonic only PL mount makes sense with S35 sensor and that would not be a camera for lower end pro market then. If the rumors are true, I think they will announce AF100 succesor with maybe a brand new M4/3 sensor(could be 12 MPx insted of 16 in GH4) because they still want to sell lenses. I don't know, maybe Panny has some secret S35 plans with Leica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
