We have some official product images of two new MFT cameras. One is the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera that comes with a Super 16 sized HD sensor. That sensor has around 2 Megapixels and a 3x crop factor. The camera has one single cool. Shoot the best video quality (with CinemaDNG RAW) in a pocket size and for a low price ($995). I am sure that camera will beat the video quality og the $1299 Panasonic GH3!
Speaking of Panaosnic. here is the official image of the Panasonic GF6 that is going to be announced very soon at 5am CET time.

2 Megapixels and a 3x crop factor??? This has to be a late april fools´ prank.
It’s sole purpose is to record 1080p video and has a Super-16 sized sensor roughly the size of Nikon’s CX format. Should be perfect for its intended purpose.
If you doubt what a small dedicated video sensor can do check out this comparison with the Black Magic Cinema cam and a 5D MkIII – https://vimeo.com/49875510
GF6 will have to be very cheap to have a chance against the E-PL5…
The GF6 is very close to Oly’s E-PL5. Same compact size, Tiltable screen, PASM dial. You gain a flash but you loose the IBIS and the hotshoe. The GX1 16MP sensor is inferior to Oly’s 16MP.
The GF6 will have to be much cheaper that the E-PL5 to be interesting.
It ain’t got no chance against the E-PL5 – there is no provision for a proper viewfinder.
Not everyone needs a “proper viewfinder”…
So it would seem. But we who take our images seriously like to use them, rather than squinting at a little screen held tremulously at arms-length.
Mais, chacun à son goût.
Anyone notice the Pentax Q lens in this picture? 😉
