I am probably quipping but to note: for handheld starlight you mean the EM1MKIII? I don't think the EM5.3 has that. Actually the EM5.3 doesn't have the panorama either (EM10MKIV, EP7 do).
I def. want to see how qualified this ISO is (i.e any constraints or is it just marketing).
I would imagine the number of stops will vary with lens but basically that it could get to 7 stops withoyught requiring "IBIS sync" with those lenses that do have that. Definitively something to wait to see if it's like that, but seems like a possible progression of the IBIS tech.
I think if they play the higher ISO right, even with constraints if those are reasonable, that would make the wow for me if it can be used in a wide range of situations.
My E-M5 III has all of the Scene modes that my E-M10 IV has … except for the in-camera Panos. Handheld starlight works great on the E-M5 III.
Not sure about your E-M1 III, but mine doesn’t have any Scene modes in it, and not Handheld Starlight…. at least I’ve never found them
I disagree based upon the leaked photo of the new 40150 f4 which has no discernible IS
the EM1 III already offers 7.5 stops with sync IS
the 5’s and the the original EM1 have scene modes while the em1 iii has starry sky af something quite different
Hmmm…. I do similar venues as you lay out, except no groups. I find that at a minimum the HiRez features of my E-M1 III is a real benefit, particularly the Hand Held Hi Rez for lowlight interiors, and cityscapes. I won’t worry a bit about not getting 24 mpx when I can get 50 mpx hand held and noise free.
Gary, can you use focus stacking in conjunction with starry sky af on your EM1 iii?
No clue, I don't do the Starry Sky....I sleep at night. :-D
Could you just check on your camera? I’d be ever so grateful
dont you think its a little weird that the electronic shutter sync is not even mentioned in the so called leaked specs ? because thats a dead givaway as to the sensor used.I am no sure one can reach such conclusion just becauase it's a stacked sensor.if its a stacked m43 sensor it should be around 1/300 sec"Synchronization speed 1/250 sec."the 1/300 sec flash sync electronic shutter modeits not even mentioned on any spec sheet so im a little suss about any specs leaked. as it a major feature of the A1
Most likely 1/100 electronic...
Focus stacking worked with Starry Sky, both for speed and accuracy setting.
I am overdue a new m43 bodyJust tried it on mine and it seems you can combine them.
Many thanks
A 20% boost in resolution will give you only 9% more pixels in linear dimension (print or screen). So, IMO, 30MP would be a meaningful step up in resolution (20% increase in linear dimension).
I agree the Sony 1" sensor which has half the area of m43 also has 20mp and at low ISO the results are very good. At high ISO, higher MP sensors when output at the same size have very similar noise performance . A lower true base ISO would be better as well
Most of us landscape guys already have ND filters
If they can speed up the pixel shift imagery significantly that could be a huge advantage
