The skates specs leaked this morning suggests it will have V-Log and will likely be priced at $2300 US “The LUMIX GH6 contains V-Log/V-Gamut for the first time in LUMIX G Micro Four Thirds cameras and provides 12+ stops, and even 13+ stops, of wide dynamic range using Dynamic Range Boost mode. “

From the same article he posted 50MP Hand-held High-Res images that was shot at 500mm (150-400 + 1.25tc). I am surprised it could work at that focal length hand-held. This should bode well for most static scenes.

According to below google translation the person from that article was using OM Workspace to process their RAW files. "In the software (OM Workspace, since Lightroom does not yet know the OM-1), an AI DeNoise from Topaz that has been optimized for the OM-1 is already integrated. I tried that."

According to the article OM is licensing AI-Denoise from Topaz.

The 330 shot rating for the battery seems quite low compared to other bodies. The GH5ii is rated for 400 shots while the OM1 is rated for 520.

I was wondering when we would start to see this from Smartphones.

You can see a vent for a fan in this photo. The GH6 looks to be much bulkier

Press release from Atmos confirming ProRes RAW support this spring for the OM-1. https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/atomos-uploads/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/15154803/PR-OM-1-ProRes-RAW-Support-DISTRIBUTION.pdf

An overview of video features along with grading capability in this review.

He is likely tied up testing the GH6 that was provided to him. 😀

Based on the latest rumor it looks like the name “OLYMPUS” will still exist on the front of the EVF on the OM-1. So the Olympus name will live for a while longer. But I guess you know this already. 😉

The OM-1 video specs seem underwhelming to even the GH5/G9. The 120fps 12-bit RAW DCI looks to be only available through the HDMI output.

I would definitely take the OM rumors with a big grain of salt. I would also be surprised if OM goes with a 20mp sensor while Panasonic goes with 25mp. This is around the time we would get a spec leak from Nokishita but sadly no more.

Official now

13 days to go

Need to take these with a grain of salt. But since the OM-1 is expected to be announced next week, the leaks could be more reliable now and may provide some insight to the GH6 as well. https://www.43rumors.com/ft4-possible-o-m1-specs-20mp-120fps-4k60p-10bit-422-and-astrol-tracking/ 20mp(yes,IMX472) 120fps 12-bit RAW DCI 4K60P 10-bit 4:2:2 Improved AF tracking astro tracking

Nikon Rumors has jumped in to the discussion with more posts coming. https://nikonrumors.com/2022/02/05/this-is-why-craig-quit-canonrumors.aspx/

Below is a short excerpt from his post but this is not surprising as so much goes on behind the scenes that most don’t know about. https://www.canonrumors.com/thats-all-folks-for-me-anyway-canon-rumors-will-live-on/ This has sort of been in the works for about the last year or so. I haven’t had much fun with this site over the last 2 or 3 years, a new demographic of people have exhausted me. I think a lot of this change started with the proliferation of YouTube personalities over the last 5 years. Nothing is about information anymore, it’s only about whose saying it. This is true for all forms of media and I really don’t want to be a part of it. However, yesterday they came at my children and my wife. They came at my family….. little fanboys of certain YouTubers that have obviously been raised horribly. What was in my inbox I won’t even show my wife. I’m tearing up writing this with absolute disgust for how horrible people are becoming. All of this is created by the personalities (I refuse to call them creators), they feed off of it, they profit off of it and they don’t care

Officially announced now. https://www.intopix.com/blogs/post/TicoRAW-technology-added-with-High-Efficiency-RAW-recording-of-Nikon-Z-9-flagship-mirrorless-camera

I guess they still have 8 weeks to get it officially announced and shipped, but that doesn't seem likely. https://www.dpreview.com/news/4760327634/panasonic-announces-development-of-lumix-dc-gh6

Oops. https://www.dpreview.com/news/1641689739/sony-just-packed-a-1-stacked-cmos-sensor-into-the-xperia-pro-i-but-there-s-a-catch

While not the GH6 sensor, Sony just announced a new 20mp stacked BSI sensor. We could see this in other camera bodies. https://www.sony-semicon.co.jp/products/common/pdf/IMX472-AAJK_Flyer.pdf

In the past Panasonic has said that it is not accurate enough.

You can certainly see from the following image that the 25-50 lens was likely designed at the same time as the 10-25. Same size, weight and filter for easy switching.
