40MP High Res Shots in Olympus cameras will not require a tripod in the future

By PR admin | Published: February 16, 2015

Olympus-E-M5-Mark-II-Micro-Four-Thirds-camera-announcement
In recent interview with dpreview, Setsuya Kataoka from Olympus mentioned that the latest pixel/sensor shift technology used in the new E-M5 II MFT camera that allows the capture of a 40MP High Res Shot will be improved significantly and will no longer require a tripod:

According to Setsuya Kataoka, future OM-D cameras will be able to create multi-shot high resolution images in such a short time that photographers will be able to use the feature handheld.

He went on to explain that he expected the R&D team to make rapid progress in the development of the High Res Shot feature and that in time Olympus will be able to create a system will take less than 1/60sec instead of the current time of about one second.

Olympus High Res Shot explained:

Sony did not announce any photography products at the CES and CP+ shows

By PR admin | Published: February 13, 2015

Sony-CES-2012
Sony did not announce any new products during their press conference yesterday at the CP+ show in Japan. I believe Sony is the only company that did not reveal a single photography product during the 2015 CES and CP+ shows (with the exception of new action cameras).  Sony was expected to release several new FE full frame mirrorless lenses. The company’s last “serious” announcement was the a7II camera at the end of November.

I personally would love to see a new Sony RX2 camera or at least a firmware update for the RX1.

Update – here are few videos of the new Sony FE lenses:
