New interviews: Olympus says no Full Frame yet. And Sony says no Medium Format yet.

Today DC.watch posted the content of the interview with Sony and Olympus. There is no really interesting info about their plans. As expected they will both focus on strengthen their current camera and lens line. Both confirm the trend goes towards realizing Higher Megapixel sensor and better autofocus performance. They also said what they NOT plan to do in the near future: Olympus will not go Full frame yet and Sony will not make an interchangeable Medium Format system yet.

Sony A7000 and A9 to be announced as next?

Sony rumors are growing lately and there seems to be two new E-mount cameras on the pipeline:

Sony A7000:
APS-C E-mount camera with 5 axis stabilization and priced above the A6000 but still way less than $1,000 with kit lens. Announcement at CP+ in February?

Sony A9:
Placed above the current A7 series. Full Frame sensor with almost 50 megapixel resolution (Bayer sensor). 4D tracking af and 5 axis included. Coming early or mid 2015.

Both sound like very attractive packages. Me personally think the A7000 coul be the best bet for the buck here!

Olympus E-M5 mark II camera name officially registered (means it’s coming soon for real).

This is a 100% valid proof the rumors about an upcoming Olympus E-M5 markII are correct. The name of the camera got officially registered in Taiwan. That registration is needed for every new product with WiFi that will go on sale in Taiwan within the next few months.

The camera is rumored to have no(!) 4K recording, same E-M5 sensor and one single major new feature: Sensor shift shooting which combines up to 8 images to create 40MP image on the fly.
