Oh, you’re late to the party: Sony’s first full-frame camera announcement of the year will be in November!
FUJIFILM Interview – X100VI, Cinema Camera, Global Shutter and More
First (likely fake) Canon Ql fixed lens camera rumors are going around the web…but is Canon truly going to make
Canon makes a bold statement: We are developing lenses with specifications that have never been seen before and that no

Panasonic says L-mount alliance formed just a couple of months ago and Olympus didn’t want to be part of it

Well Panasonic manager Yosuke Yamane just spilled out some beans at an interview with Lesnumeriques:

  • Eight years ago Panasonic had the idea to go Full Frame but at the time there were technical and commercial challenges
  • Two years ago they started to look for an alliance around a Full Frame platform. At the beginning of 2018 they approached Leica and Sigma.
  • Why is Olympus not on board with this? Yosuke said “we do not really have the same vision. Our directions are different now, on this format“
  • The new AI autofocus system works on the question of “where to focus”. For example we use deep learning to track flying birds or human eyes
  • Panasonic has abandoned the smart phone project and there will be no follow-up of the CM1 (here on Amazon).
  • Panasonic does not think the smart phone market is a threat for MFT

Will Olympus regret this decision???
