It's quite likely that we will get that, Sharp is coming up with their 8K MFT camera and I would not be surprised if Panasonic released an 8K capable GH model. Especially now, after Canon hyped up ...

After which the camera shuts down and you have to wait 10 minutes to record another 10 minutes, after which the camera will shut down again.

Fair enough, but what do you want out of a new sensor?

There are no direct MFT equivalents. And those that are the closest, are waaaay more appealing than those Canons. Ok. So PanaLeica 100-400 is €1400, and for those extra €400 you get: (1) the 600mm ...

Looks like it. I have what I assume is a good copy of 100-300 II and the 100-400 I rented was definitely better. It's the worst when the problem is not super obvious, like when one side is ...

I'd never buy a stills camera with a 16:9 sensor and I would never buy a Micro 4/3 camera with a 3:2 ratio. I used all kinds of aspect ratios at the beginning. 4:3, 1:1 and 16:9 are the only ones I ...

Yeah, I just saw videos that show that there's a tripod socket on those lenses. It does not have a typical tripod foot, but I can image it could be attachable to the tripod socket, like on...

Lots of engineering went into making lenses that try to do what smaller formats been doing effortlessly for years now.

I get the idea, and kudos to Canon for trying. But this seems to be inferior...

I regularly use my Olympus at 300mm (600mm equivalent) and have been shooting at 400mm (800mm equivalent) and with the IBIS Olympus has, keeping things in frame is trivially easy. In...

If that were the case, Handheld HR and Live ND would be enough of a reason to upgrade. Both improve image quality to an extent that is not possible to achieve with a new 4/3 sensor, no matter what ...

"for amateurs, this could be the most interesting development in tele lenses of the last 10yrs."

How so? The option for compact superteles for amateurs (and pros alike) has been here for a couple...

Also, you can't effectively photograph small birds with a lens that can't focus closer than 6 meters.

This 800mm seems particularly useless for that kind of use.

From Olympus (some have higher magnification actually): 12-50, 12-40, 12-45, 12-100, (40-150 with TC).
14-42 and 14-150 don't quite make the cut at x0.23 and x0.22, but are pretty close I...

Smaller and lighter telephotos have tripod collars, so this is not an excuse.

Also, neither of those is short when in actual use.

But a quick look at how they look extended should be enough to...

Quite surprised you got such good results at such a close distance. I would expect some problems with parallax when so close.

What a cutie, this murderous killing machine. Wonderful shots.

Just some compelling reason to upgrade. Also, I do not know how to compare image quality of a photo that has not been taken to a photo that has been taken.

Contrast AF works at every aperture.

Hmm, I'd probably remove some of the "empty" space on the right and top. So retaining the original aspect ratio and keeping the bottom left corner as it is, I'd probably cut it above the black ...

What do you want the new sensor to be like to satisfy your requirements, then? No compelling reasons? Let's see: (1) proper live view in sequential shooting with minimal blackout
