Reading up on these technologies, LOFIC is evolutionary, but OPF is revolutionary. -
From everything I’ve found, Panasonic definitely sold a large portion of its semiconductor business to Nuvoton in 2019 (completed in 2020). But I haven’t found any evidence that the Organic CMOS/OPF technology itself was sold or abandoned.In fact, Panasonic has continued publishing updates on the technology. Here’s a 2023 announcement improving the OPF sensor’s color reproduction. So while none of us know if it’ll ever end up in a Lumix camera, I don’t think it’s accurate to say it’s in “cold storage” @sanveer or that Panasonic sold it off. If anyone has a source that says otherwise, I’d genuinely like to read it.

Over the years I used to think about that publicised organic sensor, too, but I think since then, the Panasonic sensor work was sold off, wasn't it? -
That sensor is probably in permanent cold storage. Panasonic could use a LOFIC sensor instead. That could easily add 2-3 stops of dynamic range. Rolling shutter doesn't have to be absent, but being controlled is good enough. -
Found this guy — no idea if he is one of us EOSHD’ers : P but if not, it would be nice to see him here ; ) https://www.youtube.com/@TheGrowingPro/videos Seems fairly enthusiastic : ) Fascinating collection of stuff to dig into, and a bit of variety among all the new releases. He’s a fan of the GH series too, with some lovely thoughts on a few cams, opinions, ideas and concepts many of us share here (brand-agnostic as well, which is always a plus in my book), and he’s also into medium format! Maybe not the kind of fancy channel people are used to seeing pop up there ; ) but that can actually be a good thing these days : D Pretty much gets my vote ;- ) @Parker I've just watched the full 6:13 video you shared with us. Thanks for that, I really enjoyed it. Pity you haven’t kept going with more stuff since then. What happened in the meantime? To borrow from your own thread title: why not? :- )
