Of course IBIS will be shit :)

So let me sum it up: After telling is for a year that they wouldn’t sell the imaging business they did exactly that. And now in a new interview released at Dpreview they literally say this:

The sale of the Imaging Division does not mean that we will withdraw from the imaging business

What??? So they sell the imaging business but they will not withdraw from it? As pointed out on 43rumors the only way this phrase makes sense is if Olympus will still retain a MAJOR stake in the new company led by JIP. Well let’s hope this is the case!

Leica announced the new M10-R which you can already preorder now at BHphoto. What’s new is the sensor:

The Leica M10-R opens up new dimensions of image quality with its high resolution of over 40 megapixels. The image sensor captures even the smallest details, so photographers can dive deeper into every scene. Defying conventional wisdom, where increased resolution means sacrificing low-light performance, the M10-R boasts a much higher megapixel count over its 24 megapixel M10 brethren while also delivering lower levels of noise – ensuring it can be used in any and all environments for a wide range of photographic disciplines.

Nikkei is picturing a dark future for the camera makers:

With the market shrinking at such speed, companies are at great risk of falling into a fixed-costs crisis. Some analysts believe the entire industry will collapse unless companies undertake major reforms, like splitting design and development from manufacturing, and consolidating production.
The impact of Olympus’ decision to quit the camera business and discard 84 years’ worth of experience, may spread.

Interesting they do NOT mention Sony or Fuji being at risk: The brand names they make are Nikon, Canon, Pentax…

From Canon Japan (google translation):

Regarding the following products announced on July 9, 2020, if you order more than expected, it may take time to deliver the products.

Menu languages : German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Korean
Exposure metering : Exposure metering through the lens (TTL), with working aperture
Metering method : Light reflected by the blades of the 1 shutter curtain onto measuring cell

Metering range :

・At room temperature and normal humidity for ISO 200, at aperture 1.0 EV-2 to EV19 at aperture 32
・Flashing of the left triangular LED in the viewfinder indicates values below the metering range

Sensitivity range : ISO 100 to ISO 50.000, adjustable in 1/3 ISO increments, choice of automatic control or manual setting
Exposure modes : Choice of automatic shutter speed control with manual aperture pre-selection (aperture priority A), or manual shutter speed and aperture setting Flash unit attachment : Via accessory shoe with central and control contacts
Synchronization : Optionally triggered at the 1st or 2nd shutter curtain

Flash sync time :
–1/180 s; slower shutter speeds can be used
– If working below sync speed:Automatic changeover to TTL linear flash mode with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units

Flash exposure metering : Using center-weighted TTL pre-flash metering with Leica flash units (SF40, SF64, SF26), or flash units compatible with the system with SCA3502 M5 adapter Flash measurement cell : 2 silicon photo diodes with collection lens on the camera base Flash exposure compensation : ±3EV in1⁄3EV increments
