Olympus will bet extremely high on some new sensor tech features when releasing the new OMD MFT camera in January! The camera itself also will feature a new design. It will be the official E-M5 successor but will have little in common with the E-M5….
UPDATE: I have been told that while the sensor design changes are minor there is at least one unique feature on the sensor. Something that has to do with some sort of extra resolution…
Only two months to go to see if Olympus will keep the promise!

Well, that’s exciting. Although I have to say, I feel no need for better IQ or even AF performance since I got my E-M1. I do need a faster computer though!
Can hardly wait. I hope it brings electronic shutter and zebra and better peaking and larger evf like e-m1 and keeps the removable grip. One thing I did not like about the e-m1 is that it did not have a removable grip. The button config on the back was also a problem and the power switch.
So in short, I welcome the new design. Let’s see if Olympus succeeds in giving us the new E-Mx of the future.
New sensorr tech? Organic? Bsi? Implementing global shutter? Any further info?
It’s time to break the 16MP barrier
Probably some kind of pixelshift of sensor?
Yeah, thinking same. They need to leverage the IBIS advantage they have in new areas.
This is exciting! I hope they finally bring better video as well.
I am hoping for an improved ISO performance. ISO 3200 with similar output to ISO 800, PLEASE!!!!
You mean you wish this “unique feature” of this m43 sensor is that it will perform just like a FF sensor?
I agree, high iso is where apsc and m4/3 are really lagging behind ff, even when the best technologies are applied.
Yesterday I had the pleasure to play with a canon 6d and I was stunned by how much its iq at iso 800 and up was better than my samsung nx300. At least a couple of stops, but even then it has better noise, not only less noise.
