Panasonic Manager: Micro Four Thirds is ‘a Precious Asset,’ It’s Here to Stay
[ad_1]
Ever since Panasonic joined the L-Mount alliance and began releasing full-frame cameras, customers have wondered: is this the end of the company’s Micro Four Thirds journey? According to a recent interview with the Director of Panasonic’s Imaging Business Unit, Yosuke Yamane, the answer is a resounding “No.”

The end of an era? Digital camera review site Imaging Resource set to close: Digital Photography Review
The end of an era? Digital camera review site Imaging Resource set to close: Digital Photography Review
We’re sad to report that Imaging Resource, one of our most longstanding (and very friendly) competitors is set to close at the end of 2019, after more than 20 years. In a lengthy message to friends in the industry, founder Dave Etchells confirmed that while the site will remain available through at least spring next year, content production will most likely cease in the coming months.

We were wrong assuming the new Canon EOS RP did not have the same sensor as the Canon EOS 6D Mark II. In an interview with Imaging Resource’s Dave Etchells, Canon execs reveal some technical bits about the EOS RP.…

Canon: An 8K EOS R Camera is On the Way
Canon stood on the sidelines while the mirrorless industry went 4K and didn’t introduce a 4K mirrorless camera until the EOS M50 in February 2018. But it seems the company is done being complacent: Canon says an 8K EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera is already on its roadmap.
Dave Etchells of Imaging Resource just published an exclusive interview he conducted with Yoshiyuki Mizoguchi, the top product-planning executive within the Canon mothership in Japan. In other words, he’s one of the people with the clearest view of where Canon is going with its cameras.
When asked how video will factor into the future of the EOS R system, Yoshiyuki revealed that it will be a major focus.
“Video will play a huge role in the EOS R System for sure,” the executive tells Imaging Resource. “For example, an 8K video capable camera is already in our EOS R-series roadmap.
“And we are not just looking at video from a camera perspective, we are also working on how to make RF lenses better for video capture as well. For example, the RF 24-105mm F4L was the first L-series lens with Nano USM technology, which contributes to silent and smooth autofocus while shooting video.”

“We are looking to further extend the Nano USM-equipped RF lens lineup,” Yoshiyuki says. “Paired with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a wide range of Nano USM equipped RF lenses will promise video creators great image quality as well as impressive autofocus together in the R-series.”
And while “on the roadmap” could mean anything from something being announced later this year to a vague idea for a camera that won’t arrive for several more years, it seems likely that the camera isn’t too far off.
The news “sounds pretty significant,” Imaging Resource writes. “Given Canon’s generally cautious nature when it comes to talking about coming tech, the fact that Mizoguchi-san chose to mention it at all suggests to me that it’s going to be a more near-term sort of thing.”
Canon Rumors agrees, stating that the fact that it’s already being revealed “would suggest it’s already in development.”

New Post has been published on http://www.updatedc.com/2018/10/15/interview-with-canon-usas-president-and-coo-about-the-eos-r/
Interview With Canon USA’s President and COO about the EOS R
Dave Etchells of Imaging Resource had a conversation with Mr. Kazuto Ogawa, Canon USA’s President and COO.
The Canon EOS R is obviously at the center of the conversation.
DE: Now that we’ve seen the EOS R, we’re kind of wondering who the specific audience is for it, in that it’s not at the high-end like the 5D Mark IV or a 1D X Mark II, but it’s a lot more than a 6D II or an 80D. Where do you see the market for it, and how are you bringing it to that market?
KO: Of course, customers can always choose the best products, but we don’t categorize them, saying “Okay, this camera is this market, this camera is this kind of market.” We don’t say that kind of thing. But judging from the specification and the current EOS line, more or less, the 5D, 6D, or the 80D; a similar position to that. So higher-end enthusiasts, or as a backup camera for professionals, that kind of category. 5D Mark IV, 6D, these are the full-frame cameras, right? The positioning of them. Read the interview here…

Pentax Q recoils tradable focal point digicams to pocketable extents Pentax pursues the world's littlest exchangeable focal point camera assert with.
Pentax declared on Thursday that it arrangements to discharge a completely new conservative tradable focal point advanced camera significantly littler than the present product of mirrorless Micro Four Thirds framework cameras from any semblance of Olympus and Panasonic. Named the Pentax Q, the camera is worked around a 1/2.33" picture sensor all the more regularly found in minimized simple to use cameras. This considers a modest frame calculate and much littler focal points, however it accompanies a picture quality bargain that may kill shooters that would apparently welcome the advantages of tradable focal points.
The Pentax Q camera is somewhat bigger than a Visa in size and simply under an inch and a quarter thick (3.9 x 2.3 x 1.2", to be correct). That is tantamount to many reduced advanced cameras accessible today. Our companions at Imaging Resource accessed a pre-creation test and took a couple photographs to represent exactly how little it truly is.
Not at all like most minimal computerized cameras, in any case, the Pentax Q has a small blade mount which acknowledges new Q-mount Pentax focal points. The camera is relied upon to hit the US in September, and at dispatch there will be five distinct focal points accessible. A minimal 8.5mm f/1.9 standard prime focal point—around 47mm identical with a 5.5x yield variable—will be sold with the camera as a unit. Pentax will likewise offer a 5-15mm zoom focal point (28-80mm equiv.), a fisheye focal point, and wide edge (35mm equiv.) and fax (100mm equiv.) "toy" focal points that copy the vignetting and variable sharpness of great Holga or Diana plastic cameras. That specific style has been made to a great degree famous by any semblance of Instagram, Hipstamatic, and Camera Bag on iOS devices.At the heart of the camera is a 12 megapixel, posterior enlightened Sony CMOS sensor. Its little 1/2.33" size means minor, uproarious pixels, yet Pentax representative Chris Pound revealed to Ars that the posterior enlightenment ought to adjust for the little sensor measure. Actually, Imaging Resource disclosed to Ars that pictures from its pre-generation test contrast positively with the Canon G12 even at high ISO settings. That is high acclaim for such a minor camera—the sensor in the G12 is bigger and has 2 million less pixels, so posterior brightening plainly offers a noteworthy preferred standpoint.
Pentax could have utilized a bigger sensor for better execution still, yet that would have brought about a bigger camera and bigger focal points. "The 1/2.33" sensor enabled us to accomplish our objective of building the world's littlest and lightest compatible focal point camera," Pound clarified. "Utilizing a current mount would have brought about concessions on size, which we didn't need for the Q."The sensor likewise incorporates an against shake mounting that gives picture adjustment works and additionally the capacity to shake free clean that gets inside the camera.
The Pentax Q is manufactured utilizing a lightweight, tough magnesium composite. It likewise highlights a 460K pixel 3" raise LCD show for confining and review pictures. What's more, it incorporates a hefty portion of the regular programmed and manual presentation modes found on higher end compacts and DSLRs. Some fascinating inherent capacities incorporate a bokeh control and in-camera HDR shooting. Like most advanced cameras, it likewise can shoot computerized video at 1080p HD determination. Also, the camera can be arranged to shoot in 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, and square viewpoint proportions.
As a photographic device, the Q positively covers a great deal of bases, and its little size is just unique to whatever other compatible focal point camera accessible. While its exchangeable focal point framework may speak to all the more requesting shooters that mourn the grieved condition of digicam zooms, however, the picture quality from its little sensor won't not fulfill those same shooters. "Put the Q's pictures by those from even a Micro Four Thirds camera, and the bigger sensor wins pass on," Imaging Resource's Dave Etchells told Ars.
The sheer oddity of the Pentax will probably pull in a few purchasers, yet a legit assessment of the last sending item will indicate whether the picture quality is justified regardless of the cost and the additional bother of conveying extra focal points. At last we're left with an impression of an advanced rendition of Pentax's 110 SLR of the mid 80s—an amazing camera that made the best of the impediments of 110 movies minor organization, yet never entirely turned into a reverberating business achievement. Still, the contraption nerd in us is unquestionably aroused.
