The weight is approximately 100 grams more than the E-M1.2 with grip or about 120 grams more than the Nikon D500 camera body.
If the 2580 is CIPA number, then it is a lot better than E-M1.2. If just a number based on one of the beta testers, then not particularly useful.
I was hoping for a built-in coffee machine.
While the superb stabilization reduces any spill, I still find those crop cups to hold too little beverage for my taste.
Oh yeah, for sure Sony would come up with a model that made lungo, which is of course superior to espresso, being much more full than it. But Olympus could make their espresso equivalent to lungo by making it twice as hot, so maybe they would be able to fix it with a firmware update.
Meanwhile Fujifilm cameras only make tea.
Wouldn't it be the same sensor? I'm not sure Olympus could afford a custom sensor for a low volume camera.
But it wold be organic, fair trade tea. And real tea leaves, not the garbage powdered "tea" bags you buy in a market around the corner.
I am not sure how one could get 8 pixel shifts hand held at 1/60 out of a sensor that has a readout speed of 1/60. Of course these are only rumors at this point.
It would seem the E-M1ii has a custom sensor and is a low-volume camera compared to the rest of the line, so this is perhaps lowerish yet.
The 1/60s sensor readout doesn't seem to mesh with the hi-res capabilities. Maybe it can output at a fast speed for only a short burst (8 shots) and Olympus has only enabled this for the hi-res mode. If a faster sensor read-out is not possible for regular shooting, then I'll just stick with my E-M1ii and the coming firmware update.
While it may be possible to temporarily speed up the frame rate of a sensor, I am not sure how one would temporarily speed up the readout of a sensor, but then I don't know that much about sensors. Maybe there is a way you can read 8 rows at once, but then if that is possible, why haven't others implemented it.
Same here times two.
It's probably only 4 shots for handheld mode. The rumors I think say 1/125 is the slowest possible shutter and it takes 1/15 to take the whole sequence. That about matches the 1/60 readout speed of the current sensor.
Interestingly, I was predicting 4 shot version of high res mode nearly 2 years ago (and frankly, I was wondering why it was not there at the very beginning as a "full colour capture" mode, without high res tricks), like here and here . Since all my predictions regarding E-M5 Mark III were complete failures, maybe at least this one will come true
Eye can see that. The eye can detect very easily flickering and especially having a black frame between image frames. That is reason why 100Hz televisions were made, where the normal 50Hz feed was super sampled so each frame was shown twice, eliminating black frame between 50Hz frames. That black between frames was causing for some a headache, triggering epilepsia and was tiring for eyes.
I kept my E-5 and skipped the Mk 1. The Mk 2 is OK but I was hoping for better.
