Pick the next m4/3rds innovation to be adopted by "big 3."

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...!!!!
They might well come out with it and a few in here would make good use of it.

cameras will be more computational than ever before, i guess the biggest change or innovation would be a global shutter in a stills orientated camera, then manufacturers could slug it out making the best fake shutter sound for the reviewers

It makes sense for sure. I wonder if it will be a ..... "click" or a "clunk" .... maybe a "click bzzz clunk"

We've had it in here before with people asking how to turn the shutter sound off ! Had it in the Sony forum as well.

It's come to a stage where I honestly can't see a reason to do a so called upgrade and besides, I couldn't afford it all the time like some do in here. Eye watering prices and also eye watering wallets some have :)

You have to go a long way to find a bad camera, but not too far to find a bad photographer now days Wu.

All the best.

i have to agree, i am happy with my clunkers, they work and i can get shots i like, the opportunity to get those shots sometimes seems very limited though. What does interest me though is that new Nikon 500mm smaller fresnel design being developed, but then i have to buy a new body, software for the body.....faster computer....better memory cards....more storage...... think i'll go on holiday instead
 
I see it coming. Maybe outrageous lens pricing. I cant recall meaningful invention for olympus aside from mirtorless ilc.
 
absolutely, developed for another application entirely, picked up by Hasselblad and Ricoh and Olympus adopted it afterwards - but in fairness I don't think they claimed to have invented it
 
A smaller mount and sensor to allow more compact lenses with greater reach
 
not this again, all companies copy others good ideas, Olympus hasn't been shy about doing this.....just like everyone else
Like?
let's start with IBIS...your turn
So which company had sensor-based image stabilization first?
in a Dslr i believe it was Minolta
There was an electronic technique to steady images, but I'm not sure "anti-shake" was the same as sensor-based image stabilization. Maybe it was?

well it moved the sensor to compensate for camera movements.....so...you know
 
Functionality similar iOS "Live Photos" @ 4K with automatic long exposure interpolation, automatic HDR, easy panoramic stitching etc.

I'd really like to see Apple's amazing A11/12 processor tech combined with a m4/3rds sensor and class leading OIS. Match made in heaven.

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.
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.
DO NOT read this forum if you have any weak mind. Because these people here WILL POISON your mind about inferior complex that is very widely here.

You will hear a lot of theories, see lots of pixel peeing etc.

That is called Exposure Bracketing. 3 stops down, one metered zero, 3 stops over. You can as well do it as correctly exposed and then 5-7 stops down.

Then you open all to image editor and set layers and use layer masks with selection tools and brushes etc to select what areas goes through and how much.

And with Olympus already presented the global shutter sensor, if they choose to implement it, it will allow far faster processing for that.

As well they have other interesting prototypes like "isoless" sensor without limitation of the clipping. So you can expose as much you want and your image doesn't clip.

"""The Maxxum 7D's "unique selling point" is its Anti-Shake stabilization system, unique among digital SLR's. Minolta first introduced this feature with the DiMAGE A1, it is unique in its operation because instead of stabilizing a lens element (as in a traditional image stabilization system) the sensor is stabilized. Inside the 7D its six megapixel CCD is mounted on a movable platform controlled by two actuators (x and y axis). ""

unless your going to print an image the size of a building.
Not exactly, as larger you go then less resolution you need, as the viewing distance gets longer as well.

There is the peak at the normal size prints, and after that the resolution requirements gets smaller.

The peak is about 50-60" wide prints that you can still get to look from close range but they are already special ones that you can get close or you want to get close.







And those sizes are again something like these:

Once you start to go to billboards sizes and actual billboards, resolution requirements drops a lot to just couple megapixels.

Then again the typical bus stop advertising prints are as well just couple megapixels, and it is totally good enough for most cases.

I am sorry but you are doing a common mistake. The earliest patent that I found about Olympus sensor stabilization is from 1992, and the Minolta is later.

Canon first OIS patent is from 1976, at least Olympus pixel shift for high resolution imaging is from 2003, Fuji has the first CCD display at 1985, Casio got first live view tech as well with LCD, and Minolta new patent to shorten blackout after exposure.

The technology "who copies who" is not counted in years or months, it is counted closer to decade or two even.

Your patent can be very much valuable only after its time has passed, like something that happened with a wireless connections....


That is why who gets first out to market ain't usually the ones who invented something, they just innovated.

The older CCD sensors were efectively global shutter cameras. The Nikon d70 was one of them. Had a lovely fast flash synch speed as a result,

An inferior implementation, probably not even based on the same process. Much like sensor cleaning before ultrasonic took hold.
