Great news for Micro Four Third lovers. A romor about Olympus camera, which seems closer to reality soon. Are you ready?
Perhaps
you are a fan of mirrorless cameras, then you can consider Olympus E-M5II (E-M5
Mark II) with the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) image sensor. The E-M5II is the successor
of the Olympus E-M5 and rumored to feature a sensor shift mechanism allowing
users to capture 40-megapixel photos. The Pixel Shift mechanism makes it
possible to capture 40MP images using the 16MP sensor inside the E-M5II by
shifting the sensor and combining up to 8 shots into one.
The Pixel
Shift mechanism found in some Hasselblad cameras, such as the H5D-200c. There
are many people said that Hasselblad’s 200MP H5D-200c as a Multi-Shot beast,
which was capable of shifting the sensor in 1/ 2 or 1-pixel increments and
combining six shots into one. Just like you create HDR images from multiple
shots you can create a high-resolution image. This feature should make m43
sensor in Olympus capable of huge increase in resolution for stationary
subjects. However, Hasselblad is an enormously expensive device, while the
Olympus one might arrive on the market with a price tag that won’t keep most
customers at bay.

The
Olympus E-M5II or the E-M5 Mark II shooter will have the same E-M5 16-megapixel
sensor without PDAF and the same 5-axis image stabilization system and proven
dust-proof and splash-proof technology used on the E-M5.
Therefore, the E-M5II
camera design will be a little bit different from the current Olympus OM-D E-M5
shooter. The Olympus E-M5II will use the same E-M5 16 megapixel sensor without
PDAF and not the E-M1 sensor with PDAF.

The Olympus
E-M5II camera appeared on the Taiwanese NCC government agency. It’s true that Olympus
officially registered the name of the upcoming E-M5II (E-M5 Mark II) at
Taiwan’s NCC (National Communications Commission) website. However, the new E-M5II
camera is expected to be announced in the first week of February 2015. If this
information is true, then you will not be waiting too long to get this
remarkable camera. Moreover, to obtain the exact same technology with Hasselblad’s
200MP H5D-200c.
Moreover,
to obtain the exact same technology with the Haselblad H5-200c as mentioned
above, you do not need to to spend money too much. You will enjoy the Pixel
Shift sensor features on the Olympus E-M5II or E-M5 Mark II. Perhaps you could
invest to buy additional lenses and of course the memory card with a large
capacity, so you can make pictures and videos without a headache, for example,
when you are enjoying a holiday around the world with your family or your
friends.
If you can not wait, then you can buy the Olympus E-M5, which reportedly will not be produced again. Perhaps you will get cheap price with free packages such as memory cards and other accessories.
