Oh yes Olympus MFT system is dead….long live Olympus!

There are rumors saying Olympus will sell their Imaging Business within 8 months.

To find profound confirmation of this highly reliable news I performed the Ayahuasca ritual to talk directly to the holy ghost. They confirmed Olympus Micro Four Thirds will be killed struck by a giant meteorite on their headquarter along an invasion of ants genetically modified to eat up all  MFT gear available on planet earth. There might be even alien involved in this plot.

And today on the street panicking  people screaming all around and asking me for a word of hope…So I spoke: There is nothing you can do. What’s written on rumor sites is inevitably true and impossible to stop. You shall all live in pain by switching over to the Sony APS-C system.

These are my final holy words!

I bet Olympus will outlive some of those rumor websites :)

Dpreview: “It looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer before we see an EOS R model aimed at sports and action shooters”

DPreview interviewed some Canon managers and DP clearly stated:

“It looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer before we see an EOS R model aimed at sports and action shooters”

And a Canon manager explained why they didn’t make a mirrorless version of the 1DX:

Of course some professional photographers are asking for a mirrorless solution. But as of now, we also see a lot of demand from photographers asking for DSLRs, specifically [because of] the benefits of an OVF. So this time around we decided to go for a DSLR. Of course we understand that there are huge benefits to mirrorless, and we implemented, or combined as much of that [technology] as we could into the [EOS-1D X Mark III].

So it looks like the Sony A9II will not get a competitions from Canon in the near future…

Samsung Electronics is reportedly set to implement a US$100 billion sensor development…but not for mirrorless cameras :(

Digitimes reports that

Samsung Electronics is reportedly set to implement a US$100 billion sensor development project seeking to tap the lucrative worldwide sensor market.

This lead some websites speculate we might see new Samsung sensors for mirrorless system cameras.  But this is spure specualtion and actually not very rationale. Samsung aims at the growing smaller sensor business in the industrial, automotive and smartphone world. That’s where you can make the $$$.
