OM Digital chief says they will announce a “WOW” product in abotu one year from now

Asahi published an interview with Chief Technology Officer of OM Digital Solutions Mr. Kataoka.. The key info here is that he said:

  1. They plan to launch multiple new products in 2021
  2. They will stick to MFT (of course)
  3. It’s possible they will make a PEN-FII
  4. There will be at least one product that will make you “WOW” (launch planed sometimes in 1 year)

I wonder what this WOW product might be: For sure it’s a MFT camera and I think it’s hard now to really “WOW” anyone. We already have super high rez cameras, 8K recording…what feature could really WOW you?

Plenty of announcements soon: Panasonic, Leica, Sigma, Sony and more…

Next week Leica and Panasonic will announce their new lenses (28mm f/2.0 and 70-300mm L). But also Sigma and Sony are expected to have new product announcements before the CP+ show in Japan. Sony has registered 5 cameras in Asia so we can be near certain we will get some news about them. Sigma is likely to announce new lenses but I hope they will also give us an update on their Sigma FF camera!

Just a single issue or widespread problem?

Well known youtuber Michael The Maven claims that the Canon R5 has a Sensor Misalignment Issue that causes to not have 100% Sharp Images with Any Lens. Not sure what to think about this…maybe he is wrong, maybe he has a defect camera or maybe it’s really widespread?
