They've adopted more than a few but I figure pixel-shift will probably be the next thing. It's easier and cheaper to copy than innovate in business.

not this again, all companies copy others good ideas, Olympus hasn't been shy about doing this.....just like everyone else

I thought that pixel shifting was developed in the 90s for microscopy, and the first digital cameras to use it were produced by Ricoh or Hasselblad. I could be wrong.

Sony already has added Pixel Shift in the A7Riii.
Pentax already has it. I don't know if Olympus had it before Pentax. But the process is different between Olympus and Pentax with Sony now looking more like Pentax.
With Olympus, there are 8 images using 1/2 pixel steps resulting in higher resolution.
With Pentax, and now Sony, there are only 4 images and the sensor moves in full pixel steps. The result is that image IQ remains the same, by color improves since there is now sufficient information to calculate true color for every pixel. This in turn gives the impression that the IQ is better, but it is really the color is more accurate.
Also, multiple images tends to negate some of the noise too.

after producing a 437meg ultra macro shot stacking 24 hi res images, its a total waste of memory space. unless your going to print an image the size of a building.

So keep it digital!
Personally, I think it’s awesome. Your images is a window into another, microscopic, world. And as you get sucked in, zoom deeper and deeper, you make new discoveries and realizations! Fascinating.

it was, microscopy that is and is also used in Tv's now too - I think Hassleblad used it first and it was adopted by Ricoh way before Olympus brought it to market

Seriously man. As a new owner of m43 I am so shocked at this trend of "inferiority complex" posts from some members. And I thought the Pentax forum was bad...
Every company does it like you said and I am fine with it cause they keep refining those features and we all win in the end.

excellent images though, wonderful detail you have managed to produce, great lighting helps too:-D

what Oly did was stick them all into the EM1 MKII, it is a feature rich camera to say the least

Shame I cant post the original, the detail was defiantly amazing and fairly simple to do even using a flash on low to take the 8 burst shots. I was so intrigued as to do more pixels matter. this is a pretty good comparison.

Yes the image can be zoomed in and in and in its a pixel peepers delight. you have to try it at least once just to see what a M Format macro would look like with 10x the dof

Pixel shift?
Be a lot easier if you say what you ...... think was adopted from m4/3 to other cameras or camera companies ;-) The answer will probably be not a lot if any if you know camera history.
As Wu said in another post, m4/3 has probably adopted a heck of a lot of features into their bodies which kind of makes them unique within reason.

One sensor based innovation that is missing and I am sure someone will make it, EM5 III for example could be a possible camera to introduce it.
The Graduated ISO sensor, that will make all the expensive and cumbersome square filters and their adapters an obsolete...
It is not so difficult. And it is so needed...!!!!

Add another new adopter to this impression. I haven't even received my m4/3 gear yet and, reading this forum, I'm thinking it must be a flawed format.

There are not capable admins, or they suffer from the same syndrome too... Nothing to do with the system.
